The Prayer.
VVHether it were thy will, O heavenly Father; that thy precept to the Jewes, of rosting the Lambe whole, who did secretly insinuate unto us; that halfe-Services please not thee; that the Sacrifices of our soules, without the body, or the body alone, without the soule, are disliked; or, whether by it, thou didst typifie that thou hatest division, schisme, partialities, and delightest in perfect, intire unity; or, whether thou didst intimate both these: I humbly beseech the for Jesus Christ his sake, that I may please thee, both with my soule, and with my body; and that I may ever be defended, and preserved from any singularity, defection, and obstinacy, and may by thee be strengthned to keepe the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace. Amen.
