The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that so oft as thou settest our sins before us, and doest pronounce thy judgements against us: we do not abuse thy long sufferance, and so heap upon us the store and treasure of greater vengeance through our slothfulness and dullness: but let us fear betimes and tremble at thy judgements, and so take careful heed unto our selves, that we may taste the comfort of thy sweetness, and thereby be allured to submit our selves willingly unto thee, that we may desire nothing more then to give our selves wholly unto thy service, that thy name may be glorified by us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Amen.
