and that of an all-knowing, all-seeing Fa∣ther: it ought to be done with the reue∣rence, humilitie, obedience, loue, and confidence of a child. If in the name of a sonne it ought to be done as that sonne vsed to doe it; saying with an absolute re∣signation: Father if it may be, if it be agrea∣ble to thy diuine will; if it be expedient for my eternall good; grant this or this &c. If otherwise, not my will but thyne be done.

Let vs then humbly intreate that heauenly fa∣ther, in the name, and by the merites of that most dearely beloued sonne, be it for thinges necessarie for the bodie or soule; but let it still be done with perfect resigna∣tion to his blessed will and pleasure, saying as we were taught by him; Father if it may be, let this or this be done, or this or this be taken away. Howbeit not my will, but thy holy will be done.
