¶ Or thus.
O God merciful father, which in the time of Heliseus the Prophet, didst suddenly turn in Samaria, great scarcity and dearth into plenty and cheapness, and extreme famine into abundance of victual: have pity upon us, that now be punished for our sins with like adversity, increase the ⟨image 140⟩fruits of the earth by thy heavenly Benediction: And grant that we receiving thy bountiful liberality, may use the same to thy glory, our comfort, and relief of our needy neighbours, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
