we thine inheritance Correct us not therefore in thine anger O Lord neither according to our deserts punish us but mercifully chastise us with a fatherly affection that all the world may know that at what time so ever a sinner doth repent him of his sins from the bottom of his heart thou wilt put away all his wickedness out of thy remembrance as thou hast promised by thy holy prophet Finally forasmuch as it hath pleased thee to make the night for man to rest in as thou hast ordained him the day to travail in grant O dear Father that we may so take our bodily rest that our souls may continually watch for the time that our Lord Jesus Christ shall appear for our deliverance out of this mortal life and in the mean season that we not overcome by any fantasies dreams or other temptations may fully set our minds upon thee love thee fear thee and rest in thee furthermore that our sleep be not excessive or overmuch after the insatiable desires of the flesh but onely sufficient to content our weak nature that we may be the better disposed to live in all godly conversation to the glory of thy most holy name and the profit of our brethren So be it A godly prayer to be said at all times HOnour and praise be given to thee O Lord God almighty most dear Father of heaven for all thy mercies and loving kindness shewed unto us in that it hath pleased thy gracious goodness freely and of thine own accord to elect and choose us to salvation before the beginning of the world and even like continual thanks be given to thee for creating us after thine own image for redeeming us with the precious bloud of thy dear Son when we were utterly lost for sanctifying us with thy holy Spirit in the revelation and knowledge of thy holy word for helping and succouring us in all our needs and necessities for saving us from all dangers of body and soul for comforting us so fatherly in all our tribulations and persecutions for sparing us so long and giving us so large a time of repentance These benefits O most merciful Father like as we acknowledge to have received them of thy onely goodness even so we beseech thee for thy dear Son Jesus Christs sake grant us always thy holy Spirit that we may continually grow in thankfulness towards thee to be led in all truth and comforted in all our adversities O Lord strengthen our faith kindle it more in ferventness and love towards thee and our neighbours for thy sake Suffer us not most dear Father to receive thy word any more in vain but grant us always the assistance of thy grace and holy Spirit that in heart word and deed we may sanctify and do worship to thy name help to amplify and increase thy kingdom and whatsoever thou sendest we may be heartily well content with thy good pleasure and will Let us not lack the thing O Father without the which we cannot serve thee but bless thou so all the works of our hands that we may have sufficient and not be chargeable but rather helpful to others Be merciful O Lord to our offences and seeing our debt is great which thou hast forgiven us in Jesus Christ make us to love thee and our neighbours so much the more Be thou our Father our captain and defender in all temptations hold thou us by thy merciful hand that we may be delivered from all inconveniences and end our lives in the sanctifying and honouring of thy holy name through Jesus Christ our Lord and onely Saviour So be it Let thy mighty hand and out-stretched arm O Lord be still our defence thy mercy and loving kindness in Jesus Christ thy dear Son our salvation thy true and holy word our instruction thy grace and holy Spirit our comfort and consolation unto the end and in the end So be it O Lord increase our faith A confession for all estates and times O Eternal God and most merciful Father we confess and acknowledge here before thy divine Majesty that we are miserable sinners conceived and born in sin and iniquity so that in us there is no goodness For the flesh evermore rebelleth against the spirit whereby we continually transgress thy holy precepts and commandments and so purchase to our selves through thy just judgement death and damnation Notwithstanding O heavenly Father forasmuch as we are displeased with our selves for the sins the we have committed against thee and do unfeignedly repent us of the same we most humbly beseech thee for Jesus Christs sake to shew thy mercy upon us to forgive us all our sins and increase thy holy Spirit in us that we acknowledging from the bottom of our hearts our own unrighteousness may from henceforth not onely mortifie our sinful lusts and affections but also bring forth such fruits as may be agreeable to thy most blessed will not for the worthiness thereof but for the merits of thy dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our onely Saviour whom thou hast already given an oblation and offering for our sins and for whose sake we are certainly perswaded that thou wilt deny us nothing that we shall ask in his name according to thy will for thy Spirit doth assure our consciences that thou art our merciful Father and so lovest us thy children through him that nothing is able to remove thy heavenly grace and favour from us To thee therefore O Father with thy Son and the holy Ghost be all honour and glory world without end Amen A prayer to be said before a man begin his work O Lord God most merciful Father and Saviour seeing it hath pleased thee to command us to travail that we may relieve our need we beseech thee of thy grace so to bless our labours that thy blessing may extend unto us without the which we are not able to continue and that this great favour may be a witness unto us of thy bountifulness and assistance so that thereby we may know the fatherly care that thou hast over us Moreover O Lord we beseech thee that thou wouldst strengthen us with thy holy Spirit that we may faithfully travail in our estate and vocation without fraud or deceit and that we may endeavour our selves to follow thy holy ordinance rather then to seek to satisfie our greedy affections or desire to gain And if it please thee O Lord to prosper our labour give us a minde also to help them that have need according to that ability that thou of thy mercy shalt give us And knowing that all good things come of thee grant that we may humble our selves to our neighbours and not by any means lift up our selves above them which have not received so liberal a portion as thou of thy mercy hast given unto us And if it please thee to try and exercise us by greater poverty and need then our flesh would desire that thou wouldst yet O Lord grant us grace to know that
