The Prayer.
Grant almighty GOD, seeing that we are created by thee and placed in this world, and that we are also nourished by thy liberality, to this end that our life should be consecrated unto thee: grant we beseech thee, that we may be ready both to live and to die unto thee, and that we seek none other thing but to maintain the pure and sincere worship of thy name. Furthermore that we may so rest upon thine only help, that we doubt nothing to break through all dangers, and to offer our selves to present death as oft as it shall please thee: being comforted not only with thy promise which is eternal, but by so many experiments which thou hast given of old, that we at this day should know ⟨image 127⟩thy power to be still of such force that thou wilt be our deliverer howsoever it be, whether we do live or die, that yet we remaining in steadfast faith and confession of thy name, may be blessed, whiles we be gathered in the end into thy heavenly kingdom, which thou hast purchased with the blood of thine only begotten Son Amen.
