¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing we are so prone to forgetfulness that we do over greedily follow our lusts and pleasures of the flesh, grant we beseech thee, that often times every one of us may call him self back to consider thy judgements, that we may always walk carefully and warily as in thy sight: and that we may so be afraid of thy just vengeance, that we do not provoke it by our stubbornness and other vices, but that we may so submit and subject our selves unto thee, that ⟨p. 75⟩we being raised up with thy hand and confirmed, may go forward in the holy course of thy vocation, whiles at the length thou do raise us again unto that heavenly kingdom which is purchased for us by the blood of thine only begotten son. Amen.
GRaunt almighty God, seing we are so prone to forgetfulnes that we do ouer gredely folow our lustes and pleasures of the fleshe, graunt we besech thee, that often times euery one of vs may call hym selfe backe to consider thy iudgementes, that we may alwayes walke carefully and warely as in thy sight: and that we may so be affrayd of thy iust vengeance, that we do not prouoke it by our stubbernes and other vices, but that we may so submit and subiect our selues vnto thee, that ⟨p. 75⟩we being raysed vp with thy hand and confirmed, may go forward in the holy course of thy vocation, whiles at the length thou do rayse vs agayne vnto that heauenly kingdome which is purchased for vs by the bloud of thyne onely begotten sonne. Amen.
