Chapter XXVIII Prayer at the Laying of the Foundation of a House
O God Almighty, who didst make the heaven in understanding, and didst found the earth on its firmness, thou builder and creator of all; look upon thy servant, name, who purposeth, in the might of thy strength, to erect a house for habitation, and to set it up with a building. Do thou stablish the same on a firm rock, and, according to thy divine evangelical voice, so found it that neither wind nor water, nor anything whatsoever may be able to injure it. Be pleased to bring it to completion, and deliver them that desire to live therein from every snare of the enemy.
For thine is the might, and thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
