O Eternal God, Great Father of Men and Angels, who hast established the Heavens and the Earth in a wonderful order, making day and night to succeed each other: I make my humble addresse to thy Divine Majesty, begging of thee mercy & protection this night & ever. O Lord pardon all my sins, my light and rash words, the vanity and impiety of my thoughts, my unjust and uncharitable actions, and whatsoever I have transgressed against thee this day, or at any time before. Behold, O God,
my soul is troubled in the remembrance of my sins, in the frailty and sinfulnesse of my flesh exposed to every temptation, and of it self not able to resist any: Lord God of mercy I ear∣nestly beg of thee to give me a great portion of thy grace; such as may be sufficient, and effectual for the mortification of all my sins and vanities and disorders; that as I have for∣merly served my lust, and unworthy desires, so now I may give my self up wholly to thy ser∣vice, and the studies of a holy life.
Evening prayer.
