¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that that example of thy wrath which thou hast once showed against all the proud, may be profitable unto us at this day, and that we being admonished by the punishment of this one man, may learn humbly and modestly to behave our selves, and never to desire any such dignity as may displease thee: but that we may so continue in our own state, as we may serve thee, and may sanctify and glorify thy holy name: that we desire nothing separate from thee: & that we may so bear thy yoke in this world, & suffer our selves to be governed of thee, that we may come in the end to that blessed rest and inheritance of thy heavenly kingdom, which thou hast prepared for us, and which is purchased for us by the blood of thine only begotten Sonne. Amen.
