lorde wyl saue me at nyght and in the mornynge at mydday shal I pray hertely vnto him that he maye here my voyce Lo here Dauyd doth prescrybe thre solempne tymes whan a man ought to praye As at nyght whā he goeth to bedde in y e mornynge when he ryseth at mydday when he goeth to meate Danyell also the prophete vsed to pray thre tymes in the day at whose example the churche dyd ordayne the thre houres which be songe or sayd at this present daye in the churche after pryme And therof the thre houres toke they re begynnyg with diuers other examples which were to long to reherse but let vs take an example at thē for to serue god in prayer twyse a day at y e least y e is at euenyng mornyng al busynes layde a syde accordyng as I haue exhorted you before And it were conuenyent that we shulde also gyue thankes vnto hym at our meale tymes tor who wyll gyue a man his dyner And wyl nat loke to be thanked of him for it or who wyl gyue a chylde but anapple and loke nat to haue thankes for it muche more arre we bounde to thanke and magnyfie our lorde god that fedeth vs dayly and asketh none of our goodes for it who dar therfore sytte downe at his table excepte he be worse then a best and eate of the meate that god hath sente nat giue him thankes for it or who dare ryse in the mornynge and loke vpon the bryght sone whiche god hath created for to gyue lyght vnto vs wyll nat thanke hym for it or who darre go abrode in the worlde amongest his enemyes and amonge the temptacyons of the deuyl And wyl nat call fyrste vpō god for helpe or who dare go to bedde at nyght lyke a beast without thankes gyuynge to god for suche be nefytes as he hath receyued that day and for suche dangers as he hath escaped yea and also knoweth nat whether he shall lyue tyl the next morowe or no let vs therfore repēt euery houre call vpon god for mercy truste onely in hym And let vs take an example at these holy fathers to vse an ordynary fasshyon of prayeng because we shall nat forget our dutye And chefely let vs folowe the example of our mayster chryst VVhiche prayed vnto god his father dyuers tymes in the mounte olyuete and also when he made he last soper dyd institute y e sacramente of his moste blessed body he bothe prayed and gaue thankes to his father in heuen And also he commaunded his discyples and apostels to pray contynually lest they shuld be led into temptacion let vs therfore to lowe both his example cōmaundementes yf we wyl be called his discyples or crysten men And let vs nat leade oure lyfe lyke beastes but lyke men and remember as I sayde fyrst the cause of our creacyon and vse an ordynary fasshyon of prayenge And although that I haue appointed thre tymes in the day for prayer as in the mornynge at mydday and at nyghte as tymes most cōuenyent and approbated by Dauyd other holy fathers yet wolde I that euery man shulde pray as ofte as he is moued in spryte nat to deferre it to these thre tymes onely nor agayne I wolde nat that any man shulde thynke that I wolde bynde him of necessyte to these thre tymes a day as to a thynge which may nat be lefte vndone vpō payne of vtter damnacyon nay truely I wolde nat haue any man so scrupulous but yet I wolde nat haue them leaue it vndone specyally at nyght and in the mornynge And although y t I oughte nat to teache other mē but haue more nede to lerne my selfe yet I maye exhorte them as one cristen man shulde do an other for as this ordynary fasshyon of prayenge And suche other trustynge that by my exortacyon they wyl nat do y e worse but rather amēde and procede by lytel and lytel to most parfyte perfeccyō to which he brynge vs all that lyueth reygneth worlde without ende Amen ¶ In the mornynge blesse the and say thus BLessed be the name of the father the sōue y e holy gost nowe for euer more
