O Eternall God and most merci∣full father, who this day, and al the time of our life hast grati∣ously defended, nourished, and pre∣serued our soules and bodyes, and made such fatherly prouision for vs poore sinners, ye of thy louing kind∣nesse we haue rich portions, not only in the creatures of heauen and earth, but also in that plentiful redemption which thy most deare sonne Iesus
Christ hath purchased for vs: graunt vnto vs (O merciful father) the assi∣stance of thy grace and holie spirite, that as our bodies shall nowe take their naturall rest, euen so our soules and mindes, at the beholding of thy goodnesse towardes vs, may quiet themselues in thee, and conceiue such inward pleasure & heauenly sweete∣nesse in thy loue, that whatsoeuer we shall from henchfoorth, either thinke, speake, or doe, it may be all to the ho∣nour of thy holie name, through Ie∣sus Christ thy deare sonne our Lord and onely Sauiour. Amen.
Thy mightie hand and outstretched arme (O Lord) be stil our defence: thy mercie and louing kindnesse in Iesus Christ thy deare sonne, be our salua∣tion: thy trueth and holie word our instruction: thy grace and holie spi∣rite, our comfort and consolation vnto the end, and in the end.
