¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing thou doest continually call upon us by thy Prophets, and doest not suffer us to wander in the darkness of errors: grant we beseech thee, that we may diligently hearken to thy voice, and that we may show our selves willing to learn and to be obedient: especially seeing thou doest set forth unto us such a master and teacher, in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are enclosed. Grant O Lord that we may so submit our selves to thine only begotten son, that we may continue in the right course of our holy vocation, and that we may alway bend our selves to that mark unto the which thou doest call us, whiles that we having overcome all the battles of this life, may in the end attain to that blessed rest which is purchased for us with the blood of the same thy son. So be it.
