¶ In the time of dearth & famin.
O God heavenly father, whose gift it is that the rain doth fall, the earth is fruitful, beasts increase, and fishes do multiply. Behold we beseech thee, the afflictions ⟨image 140⟩of thy people, & grant that the scarcity & dearth (which we do now most justly suffer for our iniquity) may through thy goodness be mercifully turned into cheapness and plenty, for the love of Jesus Christ our Lord: to whom with thee and the holy ghost. &c.
