The Prayer.
Almighty God, seeing thou ceasest not still to call us to thee, and that both early and late; and continually exhorts us to repentance: seeing thou also art pleased to promise us mercy, when we shall seek unto thee for the same: let us never stop our ears against so gracious a benefit; but let us always remember thy free election, the fountain of all thy graces, proceeding from thy free love to us; that we may endeavour so to give up our selves to thy service, that thou mayest have glory by our life and conversation. And though it so fall out, that we now and then go astray from thee, yet give us grace speedily to return into the right way: and let us evermore be ready to receive thy warnings and corrections, that it may appear we have been in such wise called and chosen of thee, that we may desire to continue in the hope of our salvation, to which thou ⟨p. 58⟩daily invitest us, and which thou hast prepared for us in heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
