❧The Prayer.
Grant O almighty God, that seeing there is so much fearfulness in us, that none of us are fit to follow thee whether thou callest us: that we being instructed by the example of thy servant Jonah may prepare our selves unto perfect obedience: and whatsoever terrors Satan & the world objecteth against us, that yet we being confirmed with the confidence of thy power and aid, which thou hast promised unto us, may go forward in the course of our vocation, and at no time decline therefrom, but that we may so skirmish against all stumbling blocks & lets of this world, till we may come to that heavenly kingdom, where we may enjoy both thee and Christ shine only begotten son which is our strength & salvation: and let thy spirit cherish us, and confirm all our senses unto thine obedience▪ so that at yt length thy name may be glorified in us and we once may be made partakers of that glory, to the which thou invitest us by the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
