The Prayer.
Almighty God, seeing we are lulled so fast asleep in our sins; grant at least that we may be attentive in hearkening to the examples of thy wrath, which thou hastes been pleased to set before our eyes, that at other mens cost, we may learn to fear thee. Let us also carefully consider what threatenings thou usest to draw us to thy self, because thou canst not win us by jentlenesse. Therewithal also cause us to feel that thou wilt always be merciful and favourable to such poor sinners as unfeignedly seek thee, and convert unto thee with their whole hearts. Give us likewise to be armed against our sins and infirmities, that we may earnestly strive to dispatch our selves out of Satan's nets, which at every turning he spreads for us: that giving over our selves with full liberty to thy service, we may take such delight in an holy course, that our chief end may be to please thee in the whole tenor of our life, that so our service and obedience may be acceptable unto thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
