Sermons of M. Iohn Caluine vpon the Epistle of Saincte Paule to the Galathians

The prayer which M. Iohn Caluin made ordinarily before the beginning of his Sermons.

LEt vs call vppon our good God and father, praying him too vouchsafe too turne away his face from the great number of faultes and offences, wherby we ceasse not to prouoke his wrath a∣gaynst vs: and forasmuch as wee bee too too vnworthie to appeare before his maiestie, it may please him to loke vpon vs in the coun∣tenance of his welbeloued sonne o•• Lorde Iesus Christ, accepting the desert of his death and passion, for a full recompence of all 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sinnes, that by meanes thereof he may like well of vs, and vouch∣safe to inlighten vs by his spirite, in the vnderstanding of his word,

and graunt vs the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to receyue the same in true feare and hu∣militie, so as we may be taught thereby to put our trust in him, to serue and honour him by glorifying his holy name in all our life, and to yeelde him the loue and obedience which faythfull seruants owe to their maisters, and children too their fathers, seeing it hath pleased him too call vs to the number of his seruants and children. And let vs pray vnto him as our good maister hath taught vs too pray, saying. Our father which art. &c.
