Pardon us (we humbly beseech thee) neither suffer thou us to repose our trust in the force & power of any creature: but grant that we having thy wonderful mercy in experience, may perfectly rejoice, and rightfully take pleasure in the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

But thy ordinaunces are most sure with a marueylous inuiolable constancie. Wherefore right happie and blessed are those people who haue chosen
