Sith thou art my Father, I cannot but expect a happy end of all my estates having already received ⟨image 147⟩of thy mercy, the assured pledge of salvation (forgiveness of sins) But Lord, grant especially that this thy grace in Jesus Christ, may be unto me a comfort, and light all the days of my life, especially in the darkness of my death, to retain and hold me fast in the hope of my salvation, that with a lively faith at my last gasp I may speak these words of my Saviour upon the cross, (Into thy hands, (O Father) I ⟨image 147⟩commend my spirit,) whereby my soul also inwardly may hear the same Christ saying unto me, as unto the poor penitent thief (Son, rejoice, this day thou shalt be with me in Paradise) so that full of peace, by the effects of thy spirit, I may cheerfully leave my body to the earth, assured of the resurrection, and that my soul may, by the angels, be guided to the rest of the blessed, and vouchsafe, O Lord, to do ⟨image 148⟩the like favour to all men, even as I crave these things, in the prayer which thy Son hath taught me. [Our father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, world ⟨image 148⟩without end. Amen. Likewise (my God) increase in me, faith working every good work, and give me grace constantly to persevere, and thereof to make confession even to my last gasp, saying. [I believe in God the father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the holy Ghost, borne of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Ponce Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried, he ⟨image 149⟩descended into hell, the third day he rose again, from the dead: he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy-Ghost, the holy Catholic Church. The communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins. The resurrection of the flesh, and the life everlasting.]
