¶ The Prayer.
Grant O Lord God, that where so many testimonies of thy wisdom, power, and glory are daily before our eyes, and yet we can not see them, but bury this clear light with our ingratitude: grant we beseech thee, that at the length we may learn to open our eyes, or rather that thou wouldest open them by thy spirit, that we regarding with how many, how great, and how excellent benefits thou presentest thy self unto us, and givest testimony of thy wisdom, thy power, and divine majesty, we may so profit in this thy school of holiness, that we may attribute all praise of all power, wisdom, and knowledge unto thee, that we challenge nothing at all unto our selves, but only extol and magnify thee: and the more liberal that thou pleasest to show thy self unto us, the more earnestly we may labour to serve thee and to give our selves wholly unto thee, taking no piece of praise to our selves, but caring only for this one thing, that to thee alone may all glory remain and shine throughout the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.
