Although (most good and mighty God) the Devil fret, the powers of the world stand up daily, and the flesh with all her servitors conspire against the kingdom of thy only son Jesus Christ our Lord: let us yet understand, yea, let us be persuaded through a constant faith ⟨image 9⟩that thou doest deride and contemn all such: who (so soon as it pleaseth thee) art able to destroy them in thy wrath and hot displeasure. But alack, seeing in this confidence we are oftentimes unstable and moveable, in so much as we (being led away by divers terrors) do obey thy commandments less than it becometh us, we beseech thee of thy favourable and bountiful goodness to be merciful unto us, so that we may ground our selves steadfastly upon this rock of faith, that thy son our king and redeemer hath in thee of all things the highest power and government, for when thou didst beget him, thou gavest all Nations to him, to rule and govern them by right of inheritance. Grant therefore, that we may once at length be so godly, wise, and so rightly instructed, as (serving thee with all reverence and humble fear) we be not at the last day like a potters vessel, consumed and brought to naught with the rod of thy indignation: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ALthoughe (moste good and myghtie God) the Deuill fret, the powers of the worlde stande vp daylie, and the fleshe wyth all hir seruitors conspire against the kingdome of thy onely sonne Iesus Christ our Lord: let vs yet vnderstande, yea, let vs be perswaded through a constant fayth ⟨image 9⟩that thou doest deryde and contemne all such: who (so soone as it pleaseth thée) art hable to destroye them in thy wrath and whote displeasure. But alack, seing in this confidence we are oftentimes vnstable and moueable, in so much as we (being led away by dyuers terrours) doe obey thy commaūdements lesse than it becommeth vs, we beséeche thée of thy fauourable and bountifull goodnesse to bée mercifull vnto vs, so that we may ground our selues stedfastly vpō this rock of faith, that thy sonne our king and redeemer hath in thée of all thinges the highest power and gouernement, for when thou didst beget him, thou gauest all Nations to hym, to rule and gouerne them by right of inheritaunce. Graunt therefore, that we maye once at length be so godlye, wyse, and so ryghtly instructed, as (seruing thee wyth all reuerence and humble feare) wée bee not at the last daye lyke a potters vessell, consumed and brought to naught wyth the rod of thy indignation: through Iesus Christ oure Lorde. Amen.
