O Holy and Eternal Jesus who hast begotten us by thy word, renewed us by thy Spirit, fed us by thy Sacraments, and by the dayly mini∣stery of thy word: still go on to build us up to life eternal. Let thy most holy Spirit be present with me and rest upon me in the reading [or hearing] thy sacred word; that I may do it humbly, reverently, without prejudice, with a minde ready and desirous to learn and to obey; ••hat I may ••e readily furnished and instructed to every good work, and may practise all thy holy laws and commandments, to the glory of thy holy name, O holy and eternal Jesus. Amen.
