And hast delivered them out of great perils, & now also behold (O holy king) that we for our many & great sins be pressed and in our enemies subjection, fall down in or misery for lack of strength, and that this stubborn and unclean person goeth about to defile thy holy place, which is dedicate here in the earth to thy holy name (for other wise thy house is in heaven a place that no man can come unto) I say be thou cause of thine own good will that hast given this glory to thy people in dedicating this place unto thee, lay ⟨image 130⟩not to our charge the uncleanliness of thees men nor correct us for the unhallowing of that thees wicked persons may not boast in there minds and a advance with there tongues that they have destroyed our holy temple, as they do tread under foot all other temples that thou hatest, put out our sins & strike away our faults and now show thy mercy. Let us have thy mercy shortly and make the months of them that be fallen and broken praise thee and give us peace.
