[praier is the moste holy and diuine sacrifice]

praier is the moste holy and diuine sacrifice,
that man here in earth vnto god may present,
prayer with repentaunce is the due and perfect seruice,
that withstandeth the diuill, and his cursed entent,
pray to god, trust in him, but fyrst be penitent.
for as a sound shippe saue them that be therein
so praier with repentaunce, saue frō drowning in sinne.
