Thy Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven.
In singleness of Heart, by Humility; Chastity of Body, by Abstinence; Holiness of Will, by Custom; and Truth of Action, by Discretion, Willingly without Murmuring, Speedily without Delaying, Constantly without Ceasing, and Universally without Omitting, that we may Fly that, thou Hatest, Love that, thou Lovest, and by thee, do what thou Commandest, Willingly, Readily, and Faithfully.
Give us this Day, our daily Bread.
For humane Necessity, to cover our Shame; future Prosperity to maintain our Calling; present Liberality to do good to others; and Eternal Glory to lay up in Heaven; give us O Lord, that which is necessary for this Life, not Superfluous for our Delights, nor wanting to our Necessities, but feed us with that Food which is Convenient for us.
