Vouchsafe

From the Middle English vouchen sauf, to warrant as safe. I found it again in my prayer this morning:

To thee, O Master that lovest all men, I hasten on rising from sleep; By thy mercy I go forth to do thy works, and I make my prayer to thee to help me at all times and in all things; deliver me from every evil thing of this world and from the pursuit of the devil; save me and bring me to thy eternal Kingdom. For thou art my Creator, thou dost inspire and vouchsafe every thought of good; in thee is all my hope, and to thee I ascribe glory, now and for ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen!

~ A prayer of St. Makary the Great (d. 390)

Ah! St. Macarius, as from yesterday. He must be a “vouchsafe” kinda guy. :)
