O Almightie and most gracious God, wee heartily thank thee for the sweete sleepe and comfortable rest which thou hast giuen vs this night: and for asmuch as thou hast commanded by thy holy word that no man should be idle, but all occupied in godly and vertuous exercises, euery man according to his calling: we most humbly beseech thee, that thine eyes may attende vpon vs
dayly defend vs, cherish, comfort and gouerne vs, and all our counsails, studies & labours, in such wise, that we may spend and bestow this day according to thy most holy will, without the hurting of our neighbors, and that we may deligently and warily eschew and auoid all things that should displease thee, set thee alwayes before our eyes, liue in thy feare, working that which may be found accepteble before thy diuine Maie stie, through Christ our Lord, Amen.
