¶ A prayer to be sayde before meales.

ALl thinges depende vpon thy prouidence (O Lord) to receiue at thy handes, due sustenāce in time conuenienie. Thou geuest to them, & they gather it, thou openest thy hand, and they are satisfied with al good things. O heauenly father, whiche art the fountaine & ful treasure of all good nes, we besech thee to shew thy mercyees vpon vs thy children, and sanctifye these giftes whiche we receiue of thy merciful liberalitie graunt vs grace to vse them soberlye and purely according to thy blessed wyll, so that hereby we may acknowledge thee to be the author and geuer of all good things and aboue all, that we may remember continual∣ly,

to seke the spiritual fode of thy word, wherwith our soules may be norished euerlastingly throughe oure sauior Christe: who is the true breade of lyfe, whiche came downe from heauen, of whom, who∣so euer eateth, shall lyue for euer, and reigne with, him in glory worlde without ende. So be it.
