¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that we may learn patiently to bear all manner of adversities, and that we may know that thou doest exercise towards us the office of a judge as often as we are afflicted in this world, that we may by this means prevent thy vengeance, and may with true humility so condemn our selves, that we yet trusting unto thy mercy, may always fly unto thee, by the comfort that we have in the mediator whom thou hast given unto us thine only begotten Son, and that we may so crave pardon of thee, that we may in the mean season meditate true repentance, not by vain and unprofitable inventions of men, but with true and earnest trials of our selves, that is, that we may exercise true charity and fidelity one toward an other, and may thus testify unto the world the fear of thy name, that thou mayst be truly glorified amongest us by the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
