AND now, O Lord, since by thy dispensation and over-ruling pro∣vidence I am to change my condition, and enter into the holy state of Marri∣age, which thou hast sanctified by thy In∣stitution, and blessed by they Word and Promises, and raised up to an excellent mystery, that it might represent the Uni∣on of Christ and his Church; be pleased to go along with thy servant in my en∣tring into and passing through this state, that it may not be a state of temptation or sorrow, by occasion of my sins or in∣firmities, but of holiness and comfort, as thou host intended it to all that love and fear thy holy Name.
