O Almighty God king of kings and Lord of Lords,¹ which by thy divine ordinance hast appointed temporal rulers to govern thy people according to equity and justice, and to live among them as a loving father among his natural children unto the advancement of the good and punishment of the evil, we most humbly beseech thee favourably to behold Edward thy servant our king & governor, & to breath into his heart through thy holy spirit, that wisdom, that is ever about the throne ⟨p. xvi⟩thy Majesty, whereby he may be provoked, moved and stirred, too love-fear and serve thee, to seek thy glory, to banish Idolatry, superstition and hypocrisy out of this his realm, and unfeignedly to advance thy holy and pure religion among us his subjects unto the example of other foreign nations. O Lord defend him, from his enemies, send him long & prosperous life among us, & give him grace not only in his own person godly & justly to rule, but also to appoint such magistrates, under him, as may be likewise affected both toward thy holy word & toward the common weal that we his subjects living under his dominion in all godliness, peace & wealth, may pas the time of this our short pilgrimage in thy fear, & service, unto the glory of thy blessed name, which alone is worthy all honour for ever and ever. Amen.

O Almyghtye God kyng of kinges and Lord of Lords,¹
