The prayer Of our Lorde .

O Lorde God oure Father in heauen wee thy myserable chyldren vppon earthe , beseche thee mercifully to loke vppon vs , & lende vs thy grace , that thy name may be sanctyfyed amonge vs and in all the worlde , through the pure preachinge of thy wurde , and trew knowledge and vnderstanding of the same , and thorowe earnest charitie in our dayelye conuersation and lyuinge , seclude thou graciously from vs all false doctrine and euill lyuyng , wherby thy worthy name mighte be blasphemed and slaundered . Oh let thy kyngedome come , and be great to all synfull and blinde people , and suche as be holden captiue of the deuell and hys kyngdome , bring thou Lorde vs to trewe repentaunce & to the knowledge of the trewe say the , in Iesus Christe thy sonne . Strengthen vs Lorde with thy grace , to doo thy wil in all godlye wurkes , and to suffer the same in lyfe and in death , in well and in wo , that our wil may be alwayes broken , offered vp and mortified . Geue vs our dayly bread , preserue vs from all couetousnes and immoderate carefulnes of the belly , that of thee we may be assured to haue abundaunce of all good thinges necessarye for vs , forgeue vs our trespasses , that we maye haue a glad and a quiete conscience in thee , in that we receiue forgiuenes of oure synnes , as we be wyllinge to forgeue all them that trespasse agaynst vs . And lead vs not into temptacion . But strengthen vs Lord with thy spirite , to subdue the fleshe to dispise the world with the vanities thereof , & to ouercome the deuel with all his crafty assaults , and finally delyuer vs from all euel , both bodely and ghostlye , temporall and eternall , for thyne is the kyngdom , the power and the glory for euer . So be it .

O Almightye and euerlastyng God , Father , sone and holy Ghoste . Thou that hast made heauen , earth and all thinges in theym conteyned , haue mercy vppon me poore wretched sinner , daylye assaulted with all kynde of miserie and wretchednes , I beseche thee o Father , for the loue of thy sonne Iesus Christ , consider my imperfection and haue mercy vpon me , encreace thy grace in me , my sauiour , my redemer , my iustifier , for I come vnto thee O Lorde , accordinge vnto thy wurde , for thou hast sayd , come vnto me all ye that labor , & are laden & I will refreshe you , O my moste mercifull Lord & sauiour , ease me of my burden of synne , whiche I haue vnrighteously committed in deede , wurde and thought , and refresh my soule with thy mercye , O reconcyle me with Isope and I shal be clean , and open my lippes ( O Lorde ) that my mouthe maye shewe thy prayse , consider my imperfection and haue mercye vppon me , and helpe it with thy great mercies , remember thyne olde wonted mercyes , faythfull promysses made to oure forefathers , Abraham . Isaac and Iacob , and al other thy sainctes in oure sauioure Iesu Christe , who being compassed with infirmities and weakenes of the fleshe come vnto thee ( O LORDE ) the well of lyfe and euerlastynge fountayne of their helth and saluation , and thou mercifully susteyned them kepest them & defendest them in all their temptations and tribulations , yf their feete any tyme slipte or went out of the waye , and committed synne against thee , yet thy mercye was alwaye redy , so that thou by thy holy spirite haddest procured them agayn by repentaunce , so that they turned again vnto the , which conuersion or turning agayn thou mercyfullye acceptest at their handes , for because they were desirous to lyue perfectly in thy sight , thou preseruedest theym , so that they be found faythful before thee , O Lorde thou arte the same , and thy years endure for euer . I besech thee O father bear my infirmities and imperfeccion , & helpe it likewise with thy mercye , if at any tyme I happen to fall and commytie synne against thee , yet as thou saidest by thyne Apostle Paule , lette thy grace at all tymes be sufficient for me , so that I may immediatly turne agayne betyme to repentaunce vnto thee , which conuersion and turninge agayn , accepte alwayes at my hands for Iesus Christes sake . So shal I be found perfect before thee , for although the spirit be wyllynge , yet is the flesshe vntowarde and weake . Therfore doo I not lay myne own righteousnes before thee , for I knowe and confesse me , that is to saye , in my flesshe me , that is to saye , in my flesshe is nothing but playn misery , wretchednes and synne . Therfore doo I come vnto thee , & beseche thee for Christes sake to er tende thy mercyfull hand towarde me , do away myne offences , for I know ( O Lorde ) that all grace and goodnes commeth of thee , and therfore arte thou praysed ( O Lorde ) & feared in the congregation among thy sainets , for thou only arte he that geueth victory . O Lorde God of hostes , and that as thou saydest by thy Prophete Zacharie , neyther throughe an hoste of men nor through strength , but through thy spirite . Therfore I besech thee geue me not only strength & knowledge of thee , but also a redy earnest purpose & wyll to subdue myne affections , and graunte me grace at all tymes too lyue as thou in thy holye wurd hast prescribed vnto me moreouer I besech thee make me perfecte in thy sighte , that I may rendre continual thankes by Iesus Christe vnto thee , & where as I haue not hetherto endeuoured my self , according to the power whiche thou haste genen me to lyue after thy wil , I praye thee of forgeuenes for Christes sake thine only sonne our Lord , and now I proteste before thee through the helpe of thy holy spirite , to order my life from henceforth accordinge to thy wurd , and to walk perfectly before thee . Neuerthelesse I besech thee for Christes sake at al times to bear the imperfection that any tyme is founde in me and delyuer me by thy power and mercye , encreace my faythe O my redemer , encreace my fayth O my fauiour encreace my fayth O my iustifier , encreace faith hope , loue , charitie and all other vertues consonaunte , & agreable to a godly lyfe , for I come vnto thee ( O Lorde ) the Well and euerlastinge Fountayne of all helth & saluacion . O my heauenly father , let me and al other which seek thy wurde to th entent to forsake sinne & to amende their liues , liue in thy sight , I thanke thee ( O Lord ) with all my harte , soule and mynde , that it hath pleased thee of thy great mercye and goodnes to creat and fourme me of the molde of the earth , & geue me members needefull to my body , and that it hath pleased thee to preserue alwhich ( thou hast created in me ) sithens the tyme of thy creation vntil now , & that it hath pleased thee to deliuer me from the hour of temptacion , and in my tribulacion , aswel slepig as wakig when I was forgetful of thee as when I remembred to cal vpon thee & that it hath pleased thee to minister to my necessities , meat , drinke and clothynge and as inward reioysing , quietnes of mynd , helth of bodie and such lyke , and that it hathe pleased thee to geue me this woman to be my wyfe as a remedie consolatie and comforte in al my necessities . Graunt vs grace ( O Lorde ) truely together to honour loue and serue thee , for I know that whatsoeuer I do , either good or euil , it shal be re warded of thee . Lighten vs therfore dayly , I beseche thee with thy grace that we maye gouerne our selues , our housholde and chyldren , which thou hast geuen vs in the true faith , feare and knowledge of thee , so the it maye bee an acceptable sacrifice vnto thee , by Iesus Christe our lord . And seyng it hath plesed the O father to lighten the inward eies of my mynd with thy grace , & to cal me from the great blyndenes of ignoraunce and synne , wherein al men are born , to the knowledge of thee , let it now muche more ( as sainct Paule sayth ) please thee to preserue me & all other whom thou hast called , which be dayly oppressed by synne , & desire to turne and come vnto thee ( of what tunge or nacion whatsoeuer thei be ) thorough the whole worlde , and seing it hath pleased thee to cal me by grace to the knowledge of thy wurd , & geue me a wil to seek it to loue & beleue in it , let it be thy will to directe my wayes that I erre not , staye my feete with thy holy hand , & preserue me with thyne arme , for I am els farre to weak , for without thee I can doo nothing . O let me lyue in thy sight O Lord , and put me not oute from thy presence , but geue me a newe hart and a newe spirite , that I maye alwayes cal vpon thee in tyme of my trouble , and offer thee an acceptable sacryfyce by Iesus Christe before thee , euen the fruyte of those lyppes , which confesse thy name , geue me grace ( O lord ) paciently to receyue the Cup of helth & saluation at thy hand , & call vpon thy name in the tyme of mine aduersitie , O hear my prayer I besech thee lette my power and pleasure be alway in the frute of the tree of lyfe , whiche is in the Paradyse of God , O accept these volentary sacrifices at my handes as the sweet smell of incence , and let the lifting vp of my handes be an euenig sacrifice , pleasant and acceptable vnto thee thorough Iesus Christe oure Lorde , to whome be euerlasting prayse honour and glorie , now & euer . Amen .
