The daily office of a Christian being the devotions of the most Reverend Father in God Dr. William Laud, late archbishop of Canterbury : wherein several catechetical paraphrases ...

Lord, make me to have * 1.1 a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; for thou never failest to help and govern them whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast love. Grant this even for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.

Almightie and everla∣sting * 1.2 God, which of thy tender love towards man, hast sent our Saviour Jesus Christ to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the Cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humilitie; mercifully grant that I may both follow the example of his patience, and be made partaker of his resurrection, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almightie God, I hum∣bly * 1.3 beseech thee gracious∣ly to behold thy Familie, for the which our Lord Jesus Christ was content to be betray∣ed, and given up into the hands of

wicked men, and to suffer death upon the Cross, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

Amen.
