And now, O Lord, we render unto thee most hearty thanks, for that thou hast elected, created, redeemed, called, justified, and sanctified us in good measure in this life, and given us an assured hope, that thou wilt glorify us in thy heavenly kingdom, when this mortal life is ended. Likewise we thank thee for our life, health, wealth, liberty, prosperity, and peace: especially, O Lord, for the continuance of thy holy Gospel among us, and for sparing us so long, and granting us so gracious a time of repentance. Also we praise thee, for all other thy mercies bestowed upon us; more especially, for preserving us this night past, from all dangers that might have befallen our souls or bodies. And seeing thou hast now brought us safe to the beginning of this day, we beseech thee protect and direct us in the same. Bless and defend us in our going out and coming in, this day and evermore. Shield us, O Lord, from the temptations of the Devil, ⟨p. 206⟩and grant us the custody of thy holy Angels, to defend and direct us in all our ways.
