The confidence (O most mighty God) which the Godly repose in thee, hath ⟨image 48⟩this notable and singular property, that it maketh no man ashamed thereof, nor defraudeth any person of his just desire: the same therefore doth greatly enforce us to crave thy ready help, that thou wouldest always be our puissant strength, strong defence, assured stay, valiant Captain, and most provident nourisher. Moreover we know right well, that (by reason of our manifold sins) the malicious enemies of thy glorious name and our salvation, have every where laid snares, traps, and ambushes for us. Therefore do we commit our whole spirit and life to thy faithful custody, and put them into thy hands to be strongly defended: forsomuch as thou seest our innumerable infirmities, and how we are always environed and compassed about with the violent force of our fierce enemies: be merciful therefore to our sorrowful estate, and help us presently without any delay. And as thou hast both life and death in thy puissant hands, grant that we thy faithful servants may live and rest with thee for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
