❧The Prayer.
Grant O almighty God, seeing that unto us, which were far from all hope of Salvation, thou hast not sent any Jonah: but thine own Son hast thou given to be a Teacher unto us, which might openly show unto us the way of salvation, and not only with terrors and threatenings call us to repentance, but gently might allure us to the hope of life everlasting, & might be a pledge of thy fatherly love: Grant I say, that we refuse not so notable a grace offered unto us, but that willingly and from the heart we may obey thee. And also though hard doth seem the condition, which thou in thy Gospel layest before us, and though the enduring of the cross be grievous to our flesh, grant that we may never turn our backs, but may obey thee, offer our selves up in Sacrifice, and all lets of this world being overcome, we may go forward in the course of thy holy calling, till at the length we may be gathered into that thy heavenly kingdom, the same Christ thy son our Lord, being our guide. Amen.
