❧The Prayer against intemprance.
Grant O almighty God, when as thou seest us to be enwrapped in so many errors, that we side and fall many times by the means of inconsideration: & again, when as thou seest the immoderate ⟨p. 64⟩violence of our flesh, to blind whatsoever reason or judgement is in us: Grant I say, that we may deliver over our selves wholly to obey thee, and to give so much honour and reverence unto thy wisdom, that we brawl not at any time, although all things fall out contrary to our desires, but that we may patiently wait what end thou wilt give unto us: and again, may so proceed in the race of our office, that we may alway hope for a happy issue and end: and that we may not be troubled with whatsoever lets Satan shall object, but that alway we may send and lean to that scope which thou settest out unto us, and not at any time deflect or decline from the same, until we having finished all dangers, and all impediments being overcome, at the length may come unto that blessed rest, which is purchased unto us by the blood of thy Sonne. Amen.
