Let thy favourable and loving countenance (O most mighty God) shine upon us, from whence cometh all consolation, ⟨image 47⟩joy, and gladness unto thy beloved servants: and seeing we crave for thy ready help, bring utterly to naught the subtle inventions, crafts, deceits, and layings await of the violent force of our enemies. Surely most great, most beautiful, and most joyful is the sweetness of thy inestimable goodness which thou hast laid up for those that repose their whole trust in thee: that the sins therefore which we have lewdly committed seclude us not from the same, we heartily beseech thee to cleanse and purify us with thy gracious favour. For if we once obtain this, there is no doubt, but that we shall be both hidden, and also defended from all imminent mischiefs, under the tabernacle & strong defence of thy mighty protection, so as we boldly and steadfastly persevering in thy blessed love, may at length be brought and conveyed unto thee, being the pillar and chief stay of our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
