Dr. Anesleye's Prayer at Giles-Cripplegate.
Holy and great God of Heaven and earth, such is the condescension of thy grace, that thou art pleased to manifest thy special presence to thy poor Creatures, though thou hatest sin with a perfect hatred, yet thou lovest sinners with an infinite love, though thou art of purer eyes then to behold iniquity, yet thou art pleased to manifest thy love to sinners that approach to thy service, O Lord, when shall we admire enough thy grace and love, how thou art pleased to communicate thy self to a poor man. Dear Father raise and fix our hearts, help us •o mind the business that we come about and •o deal very faithfully with our own souls, in the matters of eternal moment, O that we could pray, so that our prayers through grace might be returned upon us with a blessing, O that we could wait upon thee to hear thy Word as the Oracles of God, let us hear what Christ will discover to us for our spiritual benefit: Lord grant that our Souls may know what it is to be in the Spirit upon the Lords day, dear Father, thou canst deal with such hearts as ours, for the curing of them we pray thee to do i•; we must needs acknowledge, hadst not thou laid help upon one that is mighty, that is able to save to the uttermost, we must have perished to all eternity, for we do not know any upon the earth more vile then our selves.
