A Prayer for a Man-seruant.
Let seruants be subiect to their Masters, and please them in all things, not an∣swering againe, neither pickers; but that they show all good faithfulnesse, that they may adorne the doctrine of God our Sauiour in all things,
1 Tit. 2. 9. 10. & 1 Pet. 2. 18.
O Most mercifull, and euer-li∣uing God, who hast ordained in the world, that there should be masters and seruants, and didst heare Abrahams seruant crying to thée, I now prepare my selfe to thy diuine Maiesty, because seruice is necessary for mée, to maintaine mée in this life, and doe beséech thée, O most louing Father, to prouide for mee among good people, that may not debarre me from hearing thy Word, but rather giue me occasion by their good exam∣ple, to séeke those things which belong to my saluation. Assist me also by thy holy Spirit, that I may render them

good and honest seruice, and truely take charge of whatsoeuer they trust mee withall.
Prosper (O God) my labours, and giue a blessing to those affaires which I shall mannage and vnder-take, that thy grace gouerning me while I serue on earth, I may afterward be an Heire and fellow-Citizen (by Christ Jesus ••eanes) in the Kingdome of heauen. Thy mercy was so great at Capernaum, to the Centurions Ser∣uant, that hée found a good Master. Thou diddest likewise so louingly re∣spect poore Ioseph, when he was a ser∣uant, that all things prospered vnder his hand. I beseech thee, extend thy mercy to me a poore willing Ser∣uant, and as thou hast appoin∣ted, so let mee rest contented.
Amen.
Lord increase my Faith, and prosper mine endeauours.
