THE PRAYER BEFORE THE Catechisme.
GRacious Father, who hast prouided the sincere milke of the Word for New borne babes in Christ; as thou hast strong meate for them that are of riper yéers, and iudgement, and hast commended to the dispensers of thy holy mysteries, as well the care of feeding thy tender Lambes, as thy well growne, and stronger sheepe: Guide me by thy holy spirit, that I may guide them in the paths of righteousnesse, and leade them to the waters of comfort, flowing from the fountaine of thy most pure and holy Word. Season their tender yéeres with true Religion; and powre into these new vessels the new wine of thy Gospell, that they sauour not of the caske of the olde Man. Open their hearts as thou openedst the heart of Lydia, that they may attend to those things that concerne their eternall saluation. Sit thou in the middest of vsus here assembled, as thou satest in the middest of the Doctors in the Temple, opposing, and answering them. Propound such Questions by me, and returne such Answers by them, as may cleerely expresse to our vnderstanding, and imprint in our memories the necessary points of sauing Truth, and foundations of Christian Doctrine; and may serue for the instruction of the ignorant, admonition of the learned, and the building vp of vsus all in our most holy faith; So be it, Amen.
