¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing thou hast purchased us by the precious blood of thine own son that we should not be in our own power, but that we should be given wholly unto thy faithful service: that we may study and endeavour our selves to consecrate our selves wholly unto thee, and to offer our selves in body and soul so unto thy service, that we may be ready rather to suffer an hundred deaths than to fail from the true and pure worship of thy majesty: and especially that we may so exercise our selves in prayer, that we may fly unto thee every moment, and yield up our selves unto thy fatherly care, that thou mayst govern us by thy spirit, defend us and strengthen us unto the end, whiles that we be gathered into that heavenly kingdom ⟨image 115⟩which thy only begotten son hath purchased with his blood. Amen.

Amen.
