Prayer.
O God, who this day vouchsafest to refresh
and excite the devotions of thy Church
by the glorious Festival of its principal Foun∣ders,
thy Son's great Apostles, S. Peter and
S. Paul! Grant us, we beseech Thee, both
humbly to adore thy powerful Providence in
rendring frail men so firm a rock of saving
truth, that the gates of hell neither have nor
can prevail against it; and duly submit to that
eminent Authority of the supreme Bishop of
the Christians, which thy infinite Wisdom has
ordain'd, as the fittest means to establish order,
and preserve unity in thy Church: through our
Lord, &c.
