The Prayer.
Almighty God and heavenly Father, seeing thou hast not only provided for the ancient Church of the Jews in times ⟨p. 15⟩past, when thou madest choice of thy servant Jeremiah to exercise his prophetical office therein; but hast also been pleased that the fruits of his holy labours should reach even unto us: grant we show not our selves unthankful unto thee for the same; but (enjoying so great a benefit) let the fruit thereof appear in us, to the glory of thine holy name; so as we may learn to give over our selves wholly to thine obedience: and that every one of us may so labour in his vocation to serve and honour thee, that our minds being all united together, we may endeavour to spread abroad the greatness of thy name, as also the kingdom of thine only Son in every place: till having finished our conflicting days here on earth, we may at last attain to that heavenly rest purchased for us by the blood of the same thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
