Phi. O heavenly and most merciful father, we most humbly beseech thee for thy sons sake Jesus Christ our Lord, have pity upon this thy creature, and ⟨p. 358⟩succour him in these horrible assaults and temptations of the devil. Deliver his soul in these extreme necessities from all the internal army. Send him down strength from above, that he may be able to resist his enemy, and to stand steadfast in the time of this his temptation. Be thou his strong rock, castle, shield, tower, and defence, that he in this great trouble being preserved from the tyranny of his enemies▪ through thy godly grace assistance & help: may continue in the true and christen faith unto his lives end, and afterward be received into thy heavenly kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
