as in a steele glasse, discerne and sée our owne weakenes, and by our weakenes our wickednes, and by them both our accursednes. O procure thou the pleasant com∣forts and consolations conteined in thy Gospell, to sound the verie deapth and bottome of our soules, by the plummet of a true and liue∣lie faith in Christ Iesus.
Graunt also, we beséech thee, that our drie and stonie harts, by the swéete dewes and showres of thy heauenlie grace, dropping downe and soking therinto, may be so moistened and softened, that like good ground they may euer be yéel∣ding forth plentifull and pleasant fruits, to the glorifieng of thy most holie name, the supplanting of sin, and the aduancement of vertue: through the death and bloud∣shead of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ,
Amen.
