Chapter XXIX · PRAYER WHEN ONE ENTERETH INTO A NEW HOUSE.

O God our Saviour, who was pleased to enter in under the roof of Zaccheus, and didst bring salvation unto him and unto all his house; do thou thyself now also preserve unhurt from every harm them that have purposed to live here, and offer unto thee prayers and supplications through us unworthy ones, blessing those whose dwelling-place is here, and preserving their life without snares.

For to thee is due all glory, honour, and worship, with thine unbeginning Father, and with thy most holy, and good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
