¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing it hath pleased thee to testify thy power unto us by man that is wrapped in many errors: that we be not blind at this day in so great a light which is offered unto us by the sun of righteousness Christ Jesus: and in the mean season also that we be not ashamed to take profit of the words of a profane man which was not instructed in thy law, but only admonished by one miracle did so mightily magnify thy name. Grant therefore that we may learn by his example, not only to knowledge thee the most hie God, but also the only God. And like as thou hast bound us unto thee when thou madest thy covenant with us in the blood of thy only begotten son that we should cleave unto thee by true faith, and so renounce all clouds of errors, grant that we may alway behold that light unto the which thou callest us, and by the which thou leadest us, whiles that we come to the contemplation of thy glorious majesty, that we being made like unto thee, may in the end have the full fruition of that glory which we now do only behold in part and a far of. Amen.

And like as thou hast boūd vs vnto thee whē thou madest thy couenaunt with vs in the bloud of thy onely begotten sonne that we should cleaue vnto thee by true faith, and so renounce all clowdes of errors, graunt that we may alway behold that light vnto the which thou callest vs, and by the which thou leadest vs, whiles that we come to the contemplation of thy glorious maiesty, that we being made like vnto thee, may in the end haue the full fruition of that glory which we now do onely beholde in part and a farre of. Amen.
