Finally, O Lord God, most deare Father, we beseech thee to
graunte unto us also, which are here gathered together in the name
of thy Sonne Jesus, to heare his worde preached, that we may
acknowledge truely, and without hypocrisie, in how miserable a
state of perdicion we are in by nature, and how worthely we pro-
cure unto our selves everlasting damnacion, heaping up from time
to time, thy grievous punishmentes towarde us, through our
wicked and sinful life, to the end, that (seeing there remaineth no
sparke of goodnes in our nature, and that there is nothing in us,
as touching our first creation, and that which we receive of our
parents, mete to enjoy the heritage of God's kingdome) we may
wholly render up our selves with all our hearts, with an assured
confidence unto thy dearly beloved Sonne, Jesus our Lord
