O Merciful Father, for Jesus Christ his sake, I beseech thee, forgive me all my known and secret sins, which in thought, word or deed, I have committed against thy Divine Majesty, and deliver me from all those judgments, which are due unto me for them: and sanctify my heart with thy holy Spirit, that I may henceforth lead a more godly and religious life. And hear (O Lord) I praise thy holy name, for that thou hast refreshed me this night with moderate sleep and rest. I beseech thee likewise defend m• this day from all perils and dangers of body and soul. And to this end I commend my self, and all my actions un•o thy blessed ⟨p. 162⟩protection and government: beseeching thee, that whether I live or die, I may live and die to thy glory, and the salvation of my poor soul, which thou hast bought with thy precious Blood. Bless me therefore, O Lord, in my going out, and coming in; and grant that whatsoever I shall think, speak, or take in hand this day, may tend to the glory of thy name, the good of others, and the comfort of mine own conscience, when I shall come to make before thee my last accounts. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ thy Son's sake: In whose blessed Name I give thee thy glory, and beg at thy hands all other graces which thou seest to be needful for me, this day and ever, in that prayer which Christ himself hath taught me, saying: Our Father, &c.
