O Holy spirite, powred vppon the Apostles, which hast promised vnto vs by the sonne of God our Redee∣mer, to kindle in vs a true know∣ledge and inuocation of God, as it is written:* I will powre vppon you y^e spirite of grace & of compassion: make to arise in our heartes a true feare of God, and a true faith and knowledge of thy mercie, which the eternall fa∣ther of our Lorde Iesus Christ hath promised vnto vs for his sonnes sake. Be our comforter in all our counsels and daungers. Illuminate our vn∣derstanding, & fill our heartes with newe affections and spirituall moti∣ons, and renewe vs both in soule and bodie, that we may die to sinne, and liue to righteousnesse, and so in true Page 307 obedience may prayse the father of our Lorde Iesus Christ, & his sonne our redeemer, and thee also our com∣forter euerlastingly.
