The Prayer.
Almighty God and heavenly father, seeing thou mayest ⟨p. 288⟩justly condemn in us at this day, that gross and cursed impiety which in times past thou condemnedst by the mouth of thine holy Prophet, in the ancient people the Jews: grant we pray thee, that we may not persist in our rebellion, but may learn in all meekness of spirit, so to subject our selves to thy word, that it be not a fire to consume us; but by good experience let us find it ordained of thee unto us for our good and salvation, that being inflamed thereby with a burning desire after piety; and also being purged from all our wicked lusts and fleshly desires, we may fully give over our selves to thy service, till being rid of this flesh, and the filthiness thereof, we may at length come to that solid and perfect purity, which is set before us in thy holy Gospel, and so may partake with thee in thine eternal glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
