The Prayer.
O Lord out Guide, thou hast laid the Founda∣tion of the earth sure, and it abideth, but thy Word endureth for ever in Heaven, and though Heaven and Earth shall passe away, yet one tittle of thy Word shall never passe in vaine and unaccomplished; teach us to obey thee with a regular obedience, that since all the creatures continue according to thine ordinance and serve thee, we onely may not disobey thee and disturbe the order of Creation by a rebellion of creatures against their Maker, least thy wrath arise upon us, and we perish in our trouble. Have mercy upon us, and deliver us from thy wrath, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
