The Praier.

Q.
O Gracious GOD, that grant'st the just Desires
Of Soules whose zeal to thee by Faith aspires:
Sith onely those doo worthily receive
The Sacred, Supper which thy Son did leave;
Who first by Faith, with strict examination,
Doo sound themselves by vpright conversation:
Give vs the grace, so to examine (then)
Our Faith and Life as appertains.

A.
AMEN.
