Pium. Nay, we must first return to God, and give Thanks to him for our food, and health and strength by the same.
Kinsm. I pray tell me why you are so careful to pray unto God before and after meat?
Pium. Let us first give Thanks, and then we will discourse that point. Attend all. We do give humble thanks unto thy holy Name, O Lord our God, for our life, health, food, raiment; and for this present food whereby we are refreshed. We thank thee, O Lord, for the l•ve we find among our friends, and for our freedom in good discourse for the good of our Souls: We do pray for a blessing upon both, that our food may strengthen our Bodies, and our discourse may do good to our Souls. Help me so to declare thy Word and thy Works, that I may win their Souls to love thee, and to forsake their sins, and turn unto the Lord by true Repentance. These, and all other mercies we pray for, in the Name, and for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. All Tabat, tabat, tabat.
