❧The Prayer.
Grant O almighty God, seeing that daily thou doest solicit us to repentance, and every of us also is pricked with the guiltiness of his own wickedness: grant I say that we securely sleep not in our iniquities, neither deceive our selves with vain flatteries: but rather that every one of us diligently examine him self, and then that with one mouth and heart we may confess all of us to be guilty not of a small fault only, but even of eternal death: and that no other remedy remaineth for us, but thine immensurable mercy, and so also that we may seek and embrace that grace which by thy son was offered unto all men, and daily through his Gospel is offered, that we having him our mediator, may not cease to hope well even in the middest of a thousand deaths, until we be gathered together into that blessed life, which is purchased unto us by the blood of the same thy son. Amen.
