O gracious Father, as in our godly endeavours, we intend thy service and not our own; so grant (good Lord) that in the doing thereof, we may alwayes have thy will for our war∣rant, thy law for our levell, and thy commandments for our direction. Give us grace (dear Father) to shun and avoid all those things (be they never so good in mans sight) which thou ei∣ther hatest or hast no plea∣sure
in: And that we be not blinde servers of thee, run∣ning after our own inven∣tions: grant us true under∣standing and knowledge of thy word, which is the glass of thy will; that seeing therein both thy will and our own weakness, we de∣sire thy grace to perform that which thou hast com∣manded us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
