The Prayer.
Almighty God, for as much as thou hast not for once only lighted up unto us the lamp and light of thy heavenly doctrine, but daily callest us to to that salvation which thou hast set before us: give us grace we neither shut our eyes, nor stop our ears, nor yet lie snorting in our vices. But as it pleaseth thee on thy part carefully to allure us to come unto thee; so grant we also may hasten to thee with all our might, that from strength to strength we may continue on our Christian race, approaching every day nearer and nearer to the mark at which we aim, till at length we attain the possession of that heavenly kingdom, which thou hast purchased for us by the blood of thine only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
