The Prayer.
Almighty God and heavenly Father, seeing it hath pleased thee so graciously to beckon us unto thee, and that thou hast consecrated thy word for our salvation; give us grace ⟨p. 29⟩that willingly and heartily we may yield our selves subject unto thee: that these things which thou hast ordained for our good and salvation, may not turn to our ruin and destruction: but that this incorruptible seed (by which thou begettest us again to a lively and heavenly hope) may take such deep rooting in us, and may bring forth such fruit, that thy holy name may be glorified. Grant also, we may in such wise be planted in the courts of thine house, that we may flourish, and the fruit thereof may appear in the whole course of our lives, till at the last we come to the enjoying of that blessed life, which is prepared for us in heaven, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
