The Prayer.
Almighty God and heavenly Father, for as much as we are inclined to the same vices, which we read the ancient people of the Jews were once too much addicted unto; grant that we being governed by thine holy spirit, may not harden ⟨p. 275⟩our hearts against thine holy admonitions, whereby thou daily rebukest both us and our sins: but grant we may become truly teachable, and obedient. And because hitherto we have been but too rebellious, and have proclaimed open war against thy justice; let us another while learn to fight against our selves, and our vices: that taking our direction from thy holy word, and having gotten the conquest over our selves, we may at length also obtain the crown which is prepared for us in heaven, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
