Thy singular and most notable deserts extended towards us (O mighty God) in what case so ever we are,¹ whether it be prosperity or adversity, moveth us at all times to celebrate thy glorious name with great praises. Surely thou art always present to those that unfeignedly crave thy furtherance, and deliverest the miserable from careful and grievous calamities, and such as fly to thee for defence, thou doest fortify ⟨image 52⟩and enclose them with a guard of Angels. We therefore being sore oppressed and vexed with the fardel of most grievous mischiefs, are like to be led and carried away unto final destruction, without thy assistant help. Wherefore we heartily pray and earnestly require thee to raise up those that be fallen, and receiving us again into thy loving favour, thou will teach us the true fear, perfect worship, and sincere love of thee, so that we may have especially a pure conscience: bridle our tongue least it babble unadvisedly such things as be unseeming for thee or our own vocation, but let us in all our deeds decline from wickedness, and rightfully perform those things which thou willest us to do, and become very zealous desirers and earnest seekers of thy gracious peace: and as thou wouldest not have our souls to be redeemed with a common and simple price, so vouchsafe to bestow eternal salvation liberally & bountifully upon them, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
