The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that as thou hast governed thy servant Daniel when honours were offered abundantly, and when he was set up in most high dignity, that he yet always continued in integrity and lived innocently, where all liberty was given unto all evil: grand we beseech thee, that we may learn to retain our selves in that mean state whereunto thou doest restrain us: and that we being content with our poverty, may the rather endeavour our selves to behave our selves innocently, both towards thee and towards men with whom we have to do, that so thy name may be glorified in us, and we being defended by thy protection, may go forward against the malice of men: and howsoever Satan do assault us, and the wicked lay snares and like raging beasts rise up against us, that yet we may remain safe under thy defence: yea and though we should suffer an hundred deaths, that we may learn to live and to die unto thee, that thy name may be glorified in us through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen.
