Lord God deliver me from this miserable and wretched life, and take me amongst thy chosen, howbeit not my will but thy will be done, for I commit my spirit unto thee. O Lord thou knowest how happy it were for me to be with thee, yet for thy chosen's sake send me life and health, that I may truly serve thes. O my Lord GOD, bless thy people and save thine inheritance: O Lord save thy chosen people of England: O my GOD defend this realm from Papistry, and maintain thy true religion, that I and my people may praise thy holy name, for thy Son Jesus Christs sake.
