The Prayer.
Almighty God, for as much as we cease not daily to estrange our selves from thee by our sins, and notwithstanding the same, thou ceasest not graciously to exhort us to repentance, promising to be favourable and merciful unto us; grant we may not remain obstinately in them; neither let us show our selves unthankful in respect of thy so great kindness towards us; but give us grace so to convert and turn unto thee, that our lives may testify our repentance to be unfeigned: also that we may so securely rest in thee, that the wicked lusts of our flesh may not carry us hither and thither; but grant we may rather continue settled and established in a right purpose of heart; whereby we may endeavour so to obey thee in the whole course of our life, that at the length we may receive ⟨p. 203⟩the fruit of the same our obedience, in thy kingdom of glory, and that through the merits of Jesus Christ thine only Son our Saviour. Amen.
