Lord, which art the fountaine of all wisedome and knowledge,
seing it hath pleased thee to give me the meane to be taught in
my youth, for to learne to guide me godly and honestly all the
course of my life ; it may also please thee to lighten myne understanding
(the which of it selfe is blinde), that it may comprehend
and receive that doctrine and learning which shalbe taught me : It
may please thee to strengthen my memorie to kepe it well; it
may please thee also to dispose myne hearte willinglie to receive it
with suche desire as apperteineth, so that by myne ingratitude,
the occasion which thou givest me, be not lost. That I may
thus do, it mav please thee to powre upon me thvne Holie .Sprit,
