Answer:

It would mean Please or Thank you

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Elizabethan respect the Ps and Qs, the would say i pray you to bring for me a chair, which they actually want to ask you respectfully to bring them a chair.

This is to say that the word pray was used to express sentimental understanding or expressions.
