Almighty God, seeing we carry about us such a corrupt nature, that all thy graces and benefits cannot cause us to ⟨p. 189⟩cease from provoking thee by our wicked behaviour, as if of set purpose we meant to proclaim open war against thee; give us grace to make such good use of the examples thou settest before us, to call us to repentance; that thereby thou mayest cure in us this perversity of our nature, and that we may in due season turn unto thee: that by means hereof we may in such sort give over our selves unto thy service, that thy name may receive glory by us. Grant also that we may endeavour to bring those likewise home with us into the way of salvation, which may seem to be utterly lost; that so thy mercy may be extended unto all, and that the salvation purchased by thine only Son Jesus Christ, may by this means have its effect and power over all the kingdoms and nations of the earth. Amen.
