A Prayer to be said before a man repaire to the partaking of the Lords Supper.

:132p. 79–83

O Eternal GOD and most merciful Father, I thy poor & unworthy servant, do must humbly beseech thee, in Jesus Christ thy dear Sons name, and for his sake, graciously in his death and obedience, to pardon and forgive me all my sins what so ever, which at any time, or by any manner of mean, I ⟨p. 80⟩have committed against thy Majesty, or any other. Seal up in my heart, O Lord, this great benefit of the free pardon and full forgiveness of all my sins, by the assured testimony of thy blessed spirit, bearing record unto my spirit, that I am thy Child, & by unfeigned pardoning & forgiving of others, which any manner of way have offended against me. Make the death & resurrection of thy Son so effectual in me, that I may not only feel and find in the same, the forgiveness of my sins, and the hope of eternal salvation: but that I may be instructed thereby all the days of my life, more and more to die unto sin, and ⟨p. 81⟩daily more and more to live unto righteousness of life & holy conversation. And for as much as through thy goodness I have purposed this day, to communicate in the use of thy Word and Sacraments, I beseech thee good Father, to prepare my heart, and to open the ears of my understanding, that I may not only reverently and profitably hearken to thy voice, speaking unto me out of thy word, labouring all the days of my life, to conform my self in practise to the obedience thereof; but also, that I may fruitfully be partaker of the fruits and effects of the death and passion of thy dear Son, which it pleased thee in this
