take from me all tedious∣ness
of spirit, and give me a laboriousness
that will not be tired, a hope that shall

to thy glory, and by the measures of thy
Word and of thy Spirit, that when thou

and Angels, Jesus Christ our Lord: To
whom, with the Father and the Holy
Ghost, be all honour and worship, all
service and thanks, all Glory and Do∣minion,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
