Again,1 he sayeth we have no Prayers. He thinketh we meet together like wild men, or rather like brute beasts. You know he speaketh untruly. Behold the Suffrages, the Psalms, the Lessons taken out of the old and new Testament. Consider the form and order of our Churches. We make humble confession of our sins, we hear especial comfortable places of Scripture, which show us how merciful God is, to them that truly and earnestly repent. We give thanks to God for his mercies and ⟨p. 32⟩blessings which he poureth upon us. We pray him to continue his goodness towards us, and to lead us into all truth. We pray for the Queens Majesty, for all that are in authority, for all the people, for those which suffer affliction, for all that either obstinately, or ignorantly refuse the comfort of the Gospel. To be short, with one mind, and with one mouth, we praise God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the people say Amen. Why should Pope Pius report untruths? what meaneth he to say we have no Prayers? Is it because we have not his Latin Prayers? The people do not understand them, they are like the chirping of Birds, and the tinkling of Cymbals: thanks be to God for the Prayers which we have, and grant that we may hold them unto the end.
Againe,1 he saieth wée haue no Prayers. He thinketh we méete togither like wild men, or rather like brute beastes. You knowe hée speaketh vntruely. Beholde the Suffrages, the Psalms, the Lessons taken out of the olde and newe Testament. Consider the fourme and order of our Churches. We make humble confession of our sinnes, we heare especiall comfortable places of Scripture, whiche shewe vs howe merciful God is, to them that truely and earnestly repent. Wée giue thankes to God for his mercies and ⟨p. 32⟩blessings whiche he poureth vppon vs. We pray him to continue his goodnesse towards vs, and to lead vs into al truth. We pray for the Queenes Maiestie, for al that are in aucthoritie, for al the people, for those whice suffer affliction, for al that either obstinately, or ignorantly refuse the comfort of the Gospell. To bée shorte, with one minde, and with one mouth, we praise God, euen the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, and al the people saye Amen. Why should Pope Pius reporte vntruthes? what meaneth he to saye we haue no Prayers? Is it because we haue not his Latine Prayers? The people do not vnderstāde them, they are like the chirping of Birdes, and the tinckling of Cimballes: thankes bée to God for the Prayers which we haue, and grant that we may holde them vnto the ende.
