IT is thy iuste re∣ward, O GOD, to man for his treche∣rie and disobedi∣ence against thy maiestie, that he should get his liuing by the sweat of his browes. I confesse therefore O thou iust God and louing father, that I haue me∣rited this bondage, that thou maiest be iustified when thou art iudged. Giue me thy grace O Lord, that I may be diligent and faithful in my vocation, to doo my dutie, not so much for feare as for conscience. Giue
me thy grace, that I may serue with a willing minde, and a free conscience, that beeing subiect to a Christian in body, yet I may beare rule ouer sinn and Satan in a stedfast fayth, and feare of thee. Gard & de∣fend mee with thy grace, and fense me with thy fauour. Vp∣hold my feet frō slipping, staie mee that I fall not, and if I fal, raise me vp that I may not lie in the mire of desperation, when sinne shall assault mee. Plow my hart with the threats of thy pearsing lawe, and har∣rowe it with a greeuous me∣morial of my omitied duetie: but so O Lord, that thou in the end doo so we in it the seede of thy Gospell, the bread of im∣mortalitie,
that I may liue in thee and by thee, now and for euer, Amen.
