The Devotions of Bishop Andrewes. Vol. I 45Profession

I believe that Thou hast created me; despise not the work of Thine own hands;-- that Thou madest me after Thine image and likeness, suffer not Thy likeness to be blotted out;-- that Thou host redeemed me in Thy blood, suffer not the cost of that redemption to perish; that Thou host called me Christian after Thy name, disdain not Thine own title; that Thou host hallowed me in regeneration; destroy not Thy holy work;-- than Thou halt grafted me into the good olive-tree, the member of a mystical body; the member of Thy mystical body, cut not off. O think upon Thy servant as concerning Thy word, wherein Thou hast caused me to put my trust. My soul hath longed for Thy salvation, and I have good hope because of Thy word.

[I pray] forthe prosperous advance and good condition of all the Christian army, against the enemies of our most holy faith; for our holy fathers, and all our brotherhood in Christ; for those who hate and those who love us, for those who pity and those who minister to us; for those whom we have promised to remember in prayer; for the liberation of captives; for our fathers and brethren absent; for those who voyage by sea; for those who lie in sickness. Let us pray also for fruitfulness of the earth; and for every soul of orthodox Christians. Let us bless pious kings, orthodox high-priests, the founders of this holy retreat, our parents, and all our forefathers and our brethren departed.
