and in the life to come Amen A prayer to be kept from all vncleannesse of our Lustes O Most eternall and gracious GOD thou art pure and perfect but we are most impure and polluted all the faculties of our soules are full of corruptions and our bodyes are fraught with infirmities those parts of our bodies and of our mindes which should be the seruants of our soules doe draw vs to be slaues to euil affections Our eyes which are ordained to behold contemplate the wonderful workmanship of the world and of all the creatures therein contained do commonly become like vnto sluces and flood-gates to carrie and conuey lust and Concupiscence vnto our harts and our harts which shold be as Clossets to keep thy Commandements are for the most part made the members and instruments of sinne and of Satan

after all our infinite transgressions thorow the suffering of thy Sonne his mediation and the Ministerie of the word preached Of this O Lord we haue bin vnprofitable hearers and learners We haue heard
