The Prayer.
Grant O Lord God, seeing that we do so wander in this world that we alway stand in need of knowledge and the government of thy holy spirit, that we may depend wholly of thy word and heavenly revelation, lest we challenge to much to our selves by any vain knowledge: but that we fully perceiving our own blindness and ignorance may always fly unto thee, and not suffer our selves to be carried to and fro by the craft of Satan and his wicked instruments, but that we may remain so firmly in thy truth, that we never swerve therefrom, whilst thou pleasest to direct us in the whole course of our vocation, and so we come into that heavenly glory of thy kingdom, which is purchased unto us by the blood of thine only begotten son Jesus. So be it.
GRaunt O Lord God, seyng that we do so wander in this world that we alway stād in nede of knowledge and the gouernement of thy holy spirite, that we may depend wholy of thy word and heauenly reuelation, lest wee chalenge to much to our selues by any vayne knowledge: but that we fully perceauing our owne blindnes and ignoraunce may alwayes flie vnto thee, and not suffer our selues to be caried to and fro by the craft of Sathan and his wicked instrumentes, but that we may remayne so firmely in thy truth, that we neuer swarue therefrom, whilest thou pleasest to direct vs in the whole course of our vocation, and so we come into that heauenly glory of thy kingdome, which is purchased vnto vs by the bloud of thine onely begotten sonne Iesus. So be it.
