The Prayer.
Almighty God, seeing it hath pleased thee heretofore to bestow so many benefits upon us, having once done us this honour, as to receive us into thy favour: grant we may never so forget thy great bounty, that we should be carried away by the allurements of the devil to seek out forgeries, by which at length we should be brought to ruin and destruction: but that we may continue steadfast and constant unto the end, that we may daily call upon thy name, & drink so large a draught of the fullness of thy liberality, that in the mean while we may study from the heart to serve thee, and to glorify thy holy name: and by means hereof may be able to give some good testimony that we have wholly devoted our selves to thy service, unto which thou hast also most strictly bound us, when it pleased thee to adopt us in Jesus Christ. Amen.
