The PRAYER.
O Thou Eternal Wisdom of the Father! Who being in the Form of God, thoughtest it no Robbery to be e∣qual with God, but madest thy self of no Reputation, and tookest upon thee the Form of a Servant, and wast made in the Likeness of Men; and being found in Fashion, as a Man, didst humble thy self, and becamest obedient unto Death, even the Death of the Cross: Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted thee, and given thee a Name, which is above every Name; that at the Name of Jesus every Knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth; and that eveey Tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father. O Lord of Glory! Over-awe both my Outward and Inward Man, with a Sense of thy astonishing Mercies, that both may bow, and both may express their Gratitude.
