❧The Prayer.
Grant O almighty God, seeing that we are fraught with so many vices, and also seeing that daily, so many sins, yea heinous offences do burst out of us: Grant, I say, that we harden not our ⟨image 64⟩selves at so many exhortations, wherewith thou invitest us unto thee, but that with broken & contrite hearts we may be truly humbled, as often as thou denouncest thine ire unto us, and may so settle our selves before thy throne, that we may prevent by thy sincere fear of piety, and true confession, thy sincere judgement, which were otherwise prepared for us. In the mean time also, grant that we using our mediator Christ, may conceive that hope of pardon, that may bring us wholly unto thee, and that we doubt not, but thou art alway ready to embrace us, when as we shall be touched with that true and sound affection of piety and repentance: sith that this also is a sign of thy grace and favour, that thou vouchsafest to prevent us, and by thy spirit hast testified that thou wilt be a Father unto us: Finally, grant that so we may be cast down in our selves, that we may raise up in our hope unto the heavens, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
