Let us seek no stranger of another nation, no hypocrite which shall bring1 in again all papistry, hypocrisy, and Idolatry. No diabolical minister which shall maintain all devilish works and evil exercises. But let us pray that God maintain and2 continue our most excellent king here present, true inheritor of this our realm, both by nativity, and also by the3 special gift and ordinance of God. He doth us rectify in the liberty of the Gospel, in that therefore let us stand. State ergo in libertate, qua Christus nos liberavit. Stand ye in4 the liberty, wherewith Christ hath made us free. In Christs liberty we shall stand, If we so live that we profit. If we cast away all evil, fraud and deceit, with such other vices, contrary to Gods word. And in so doing we shall not only prolong and maintain our most noble kings days in prosperity: but also we shall prosper our own lives, to live not only prosperously, but also godly.
