Thy only begotten son our Lord Jesus Christ (O most good and merciful God) is worthy to be commended by all means possible that can be devised, who hath above all things uttered and set forth him self elegantly and after a beautiful ⟨image 70⟩manner, in the form of excellent virtues, and shape of pure holiness, using a most gentle manner of persuasion, both in his teaching and exhortation, and bringeth all things under his divine power and omnipotent government, through the puissant sword of his blessed word, and efficacy of his incomparable force: who hath from time to time showed himself a very great lover of righteousness, & a most extreme enemy of iniquity. But whereas we sinful wretches as a chaste spouse in wedlock were handfasted to such & so puissant a one as he is, have defiled our selves through sundry and manifold spots of corrupt vices. Therefore our earnest request is, that thou wouldest cleanse us with hearty repentance and thy blessed spirit, whereby the wicked and lewd desires that be grafted in us, being once forgotten, we may altogether aspire unto the love of this most delectable bridegroom, & that through our labour laid together in stead of our fathers, who are now already gathered unto him, many more faithful children may be begotten unto him a new, with whom we may always set out and celebrate his ⟨image 70⟩famous honour and most noble praises, through the self same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
