Another thankes-giuing after the Sermon.

WE render vnto thee, O heauenlie fa∣ther, most hartie thanks, for this spirituall & heauenlie nourishment of thy blessed word; wherewith our soules are not onelie well refreshed at this present, but also our faith is strengthened, our loue kindled, and our conscience quieted. Wee most humblie beseech thee, to giue vs grace, not onelie to be hearers of thy word, but dooers also of the same; not onelie to loue, but also to liue thy Gospell; not onlie to fauour, but also to followe thy godlie doctrine; not onelie to professe, but also to practise thy blessed com∣mandements; that whatsoeuer we outwardlie heare, and inwardlie beleeue, we may shew foorth the same in our conuersation and liuing, vnto the honour of thy holie name, the comfort of our Chri∣stian brethren, and the health of our soules,

A∣men.
