The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that whereas we see how hard a thing it is for us to bear prosperity, and not to be demented therewith to forget that we are mortal: that our frailty and wretchedness may evermore be ⟨p. 46⟩before our eyes, which may retain us in true humility, whereby we may glorify thee, and being admonished by thee, may learn to walk with carefulness and fear, and submit our selves unto thee: and that we may live modestly with our brethren, that none of us despise an other, but study by all means to do his office and duty, whiles at the length thou gather us unto that glory which is purchased for us by the blood of thine only begotten Sonne. Amen.
