This prayer is about 400 years old, but then again...

8. A Prayer for the Clergie. 

O Everlasting King of glorie, that sendest the Ministers of thy word as thine Embassadours,
to treat with men about the peace of their soules, give them (O Lord) such instructions that 
they may deliver their messages boldly, uprightlie,& to the good both of thy kingdome, & of those 
to whom they are sent. They are those heavenly purseuants that run upon the errands of our saving 
health: They are Angels that goe and come betweene thee and us: guide therefore their feete, 
that sinne may lay no stumbling blockes before them to make them fall ; nor that forgetting the 
high honour in which thou hast placed them, they bee cast downe for their pride, into the pit of 
darkenesse. And sithence (O God) thou hast placed them on thy holy hil (the Church) as beacons, 
give them grace that (with the 7. wife virgins)their lights may never goe foorth, but still burne 
brightly to arme thy people against the invasion of that enemie of mankind the divel and his army, 
that day & night seeketh to devoure him. Wipe away al mists of errors from their eies, that seeing 
thee cleerely, they may teach others how to behold thee truely. They are Pastors over thy flocks : as 
they have the names of Shepheards, so let them have the natures to feede the sheepe comitted to 
their charge, & not to fliece them. And as they breake unto vs the bread of life (which thou 
sendest, imploying them but as the stewards, or almoners of thy housholds) so graunt (O Lord) 
that we may not suffer them to starve for earthly bread, but that like brothers wee may relieue them, 
like children wee may reverence them, like Lambes of thy fold we may love the shepheards of thy 
fields, and like sworne souldiers to the crosse of Christ, wee may live and die with them under his 
glorious banner. Amen.
