flesh is weak.—John 15;5.—1 Pet. 5;8.—Luke 22;31, 32.—Eph. 6;12.—Prov. 1;10.—Gal. 5;17.—James 1;14.—John 15;19.

128. How do you conclude your prayer?
“For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever.” That is, all these we ask, because thou art our King and almighty, art willing willing and able to give us all good (Ps. 5;2): and all this we pray for, that thereby not we, but thy holy name, may be glorified for ever (Ps. 115;1).

129. What doth the word “Amen” signify?
