The Prayer.
Almighty God, and heavenly Father, for as much as Satan ceaseth not so to allure us to himself by his enticements, that we become like those that are senseless of thy judgements; grant us the grace, good Lord, that thy word may shine into our minds and hearts, that we sleep not in darkness; and therewithal so awaken us by thy holy spirit, that we may attentively hearken to all the advertisements of thy holy Prophets, by which thou callest us into the right way, that so we perish not: and grant that without ceasing we may exercise our selves, the whole course of our lives, in the meditation of repentance, that we may always be displeased in our selves for our sins, that we be still judging of our selves, that thy wrath may be turned away from us, till at the length, being come to the end of our warfare, which we are to wage continually against our sins, we may attain that blessed rest, which is prepared for us in the heavens, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
