¶ For Pacience.

When thou livedst in this world (O Lord) Christ, thou showedst thy self a mere mirror of perfect patience suffering quietly not the spiteful words, but also the cruel deeds of thy most cruel enemies forgiving them & praying for them, ⟨image 33⟩which most tyranlike handled thee. Give me grace (O thou most meek and loving lamb of God) to follow this thy patience, quietly to bear the slanderous words of mine adversaries, patiently to suffer the cruel deeds of mine enemies, to forgive them, to pray for them, yea, to do good for them, & by no means to go about once to avenge my self, but rather give place unto wrath, seeing that vengeance is thine, and thou wilt reward, seeing also that thou ⟨p. 32⟩helpest them to their right that suffer wrong, that I thus patiently suffering all evils, may after ward reign with thee in glory.
