TETH. O Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant according to thy word O teach me good ⟨p. 72⟩judgement and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. Before I was troubled I went wrong: but now I keep thy word. Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes. The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy commandments with my whole heart. Their hart is as far as greece: but my delight is in thy law It is good for me that I have been in trouble: that I may learn they statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me: then thousands of gold and silver.

IF we be oftentimes foolish & unadvised in a great many causes, it may chiefly appear when we mean to pray to God: for them if there be but one drop of wit or reason in us, it will show it self but we discover, our own folly in that behalf, more then in all the rest of our actions. And what is the reason For soothly we will behave our selves more modestly, whensoever we shall crave any thing at the hands of men, then when we come before the majesty of God: for we go on headlong thereto, not knowing what we ought too desire of him: but even pour out at all adventure whatsoever shall come into our mouths. And we should then te rather call to mind our lesson, to the end we might know the order rightly how to pray. For we profane the name of god, & show ourselves too much to contemn his majesty, if we beg at his hands any other thing than that which he hath declared unto us to have liking off in such sort as that his will, be always preferred, and our desires thereby chiefly ruled. Now we are here advertised, that above all things we ought to pray unto God that he will teach us, & cause us to understand his will, accordingly as he hath declared unto us in his word: & to open our eyes that we may do it, so that we might understand that which is comprehended therein.
