1O Lord, father and gouernour of all my whole life, leaue me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them. 2Who will set scourges ouer my thoughts, and the discipline of wisedome ouer mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances and it passe not by my sinnes: 3Least mine ignorances increase, and my sinnes abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine aduersaries, and mine enemie reioyce ouer mee, whose hope is farre from thy mercy. 4O Lord, father and God of my life, giue me not a proud looke, but turne away from thy seruants alwaies a haughty minde: 5Turne away from mee vaine hopes, and concupiscence, and thou shalt hold him vp that is desirous alwaies to serue thee.
