❧The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing that here we are driven and tossed among so many surges, that yet notwithstanding, we may learn with quiet minds, to repose our selves upon thy grace and promise, whereby thou hast testified that thou art at hand unto us, and not that we wait till thou with a violent hand drawest us unto thee, but rather always that we may be attentive unto thy providence: that we may know not only that our life doth hang by a thread, but that it is like a vapour vanishing away, except it be so far forth as thou takest care for the same, that so we may rest wholly upon thy power, and also grant even in joyful and quiet matters we may so invocate thee, that we enjoying thy protection, may live in safety, and in the mean time, yet we may be careful that a dead sleep creep not upon us, which may quite take away our minds and affections from the meditation of heavenly life, but rather that carefully, early and late, and at all seasons so we may seek thee, that in all our life we may proceed unto the end, which thou puttest forth unto us, till at the length we may come to that heavenly kingdom, which Christ thy son hath purchased unto us by his blood. Amen.
