Seeing that thou (O most mighty God) hast taken upon thee to be a guide and companion for the godly, to the intent they should not stray from the true path of righteousness and a prop to shore them up if peradventure they should fall by mishap: and moreover, inasmuch as these thy promises have been hitherto so firm and stable, that there was never found any godly person so destitute of thy favourable good will, but had all things necessary for the preservation of his life. Therefore assuredly hoping and faithfully trusting in thy merciful promises, we humbly beseech thee not to punish us, as the sins we have committed against thee do merit and deserve, but pardon them (for thy excellent mercies sake) to such as fly unto thee for ready help: and vouchsafe to bestow (upon those that trust only in thy goodness) thy blessed will and sacred laws to be printed and engraven within their hearts, to the intent they may continually meditate and⟨image 57⟩ talk of the same, neither let them be variable and inconstant touching the execution thereof. Suffer not the glittering and famous fortune of the ungodly (who bear unreconcilable hatred and deadly food to thy faithful servants) to remove us any thing at all from the right way, but so inflame and lighten our souls with thy holy spirit, that we may quickly perceive them to be utterly wiped out, and fallen into most extreme and endless torments: but indue thou us with firm strength and perfect health (according to the confidence we have reposed in thy faithful promises) and grant that we may be delivered from imminent calamities and the spiteful enemies of our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
