If the kingdom of God be not worthy to be ⟨image 93⟩promoted, yet the kingdom of Satan is worthy to be overthrown. Now is that acceptable and joyful time come amongst us, even now God hath visited his people: now the harvest is great and plenteous. Al the world this day longeth, and groaneth after the Gospel. Let us therefore altogether, direct our prayers to the Lord and master of the harvest.

We beseech thee most merciful father, for thy Son Jesus Christs sake, as thou hast plentifully increased thy harvest, & brought it to a ripeness in these our days, so send out labourers, to get it in, that it be not spilt. Gather in all thy sheep that lie straying without a heard. Lighten the hearts of thine adversaries, that they may know the time of their visitation, and see that blessed hope, whereunto thou haste called them. That all the world with one mouth, and one mind, may know and glorify thee, the only true and living God, and thy Son Jesus Christ to whom with thee, and the holy Ghost, be all honour and glory.
