Opening Pr*yer

O Lord of he$ven $nd e$rth, Cre$tor $nd M$ker of $ll things visible $nd invisible; I,
though unworthy, by thy $ssist$nce c$ll upon thee, through thy onely begotten
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, th$t thou wilt give unto me thy holy Spirit, to direct me
in thy truth unto $ll good. Amen.

Bec$use I e$rnestly desire perfectly to know the Arts of this life $nd such things
$s $re necess$ry for us, which $re so overwhelmed in d$rkness, $nd polluted with
infinite hum$ne opinions, th$t I of my own power c$n $tt$in to no knowledge in
them, unless thou te$ch it me: Gr$nt me therefore one of thy spirits, who m$y
te$ch me those things which thou wouldest h$ve me to know $nd le$rn, to thy
pr$ise $nd glory, $nd the profit of our neighbour.

Give me $lso $n $pt $nd te$ch$ble he$rt, th$t I m$y e$sily underst$nd those
things which thou sh$lt te$ch me, $nd m$y hide them in my underst$nding, th$t I
m$y bring them forth $s out of thy inexh$ustible tre$sures, to $ll necess$ry uses.
And give me gr$ce, th$t I m$y use such thy gifts humbly, with fe$r $nd trembling,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, with thy holy Spirit. Amen

Spirit C*ll

Omnipotent $nd etern$l God, who h$st ord$ined the whole cre$tion for thy pr$ise
$nd glory, $nd for the s$lv$tion of m$n, I beseech thee th$t thou wouldst send thy
Spirit Ph*leg of the M*rti*n order, who sh$ll inform $nd te$ch me those things
which I sh$ll $sk of him; or, th$t he m$y bring me victory in b$ttles. Nevertheless
not my will be done, but thine, through Jesus Christ thy onely begotten Son, our
Lord. Amen.
Closing Pr*yer

For$smuch $s thou c$mest in pe$ce, $nd quietly, $nd h$st $nswered unto my
petitions; I give th$nks unto God, in whole N$me thou c$mest: $nd now thou
m$yest dep$rt in pe$ce unto thy orders; $nd return to me $g$in when I sh$ll c$ll
thee by thy n$me, or by thy order, or by thy office, which is gr$nted from the
Cre$tor. Amen.
