Vnto these good Lorde and vnto vs all thy miserable creatures, and subiectes of this realme geue grace, that we maye farther entre into a knowledge of oure selfes, and more depely vnderstande oure synnes, and infirmites, and more dilygentlye studye to amende them. Graunte good Lorde that the mercye thou haste promysed vs in Christe, we maye with an vnfayned hearte seke for, and with a sured and stedfast faithe vndoutedlye applye it vnto vs. So that from daye to daye euer mordyinge to oure selues we maye more lyue vnto the. And thus puttynge of, the olde man, we maye by the, put on the newe man whiche is created vnto thy licknes throughe our Lorde Iesus Christe, thy onely sonne. For whose sake good Lorde defende and kepe vs this yere and for euer. So be it.
