The Prayer.
Almighty God, since thou vouchsafest to call us, yea and daily to allure us to repentance, and that therewithal we have also the testimony of our own consciences to convince us, as having many ways provoked thy just vengeance against us: suffer us not any longer to remain hardened in our vices, nor yet that our hearts may grow obstinate through vain deceits: but Lord let us suffer our selves to be subdued by thy word, and that we may give over our selves to thee, with such purity and sincerity of heart, that for the whole course of our lives we may mind nothing more, than to exercise our selves in the meditation of that newness of life which thou requirest of us: that being consecrated and set apart unto thee, both in heart and life, we may endeavour to glorify thine holy name, until we be made partakers of that glory which thou hast purchased unto us by the blood of thine only Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
