IT behoveth all faithful people (O most good and gracious God) to extol and advance the kingdom of Christ with an exceeding joy, wonderful gladness, and most hearty endeavour: for so thy unspeakable goodness is both mightily declared, and we also are come to the full attainment of our salvation. Surely it is very requisite that all people & Nations should be in subjection to his government, and the world shall go best on our side, who be his peculiar heritage, and especial flock. ⟨image 73⟩We heartily require thee therefore (O our most puissant king) who art exalted into the high heavens, and unto the right hand of thy father to vouchsafe for to acquire us of the heinous faults we have grievously committed, and whatsoever sorrowful calamities and strange mishaps be like to fall upon us, put them of from our shoulders through thy inestimable mercy and mighty power, whereby thou thy self alone mayest bear rule and reign in our minds. And grant that all kings, all princes and great states that have authority upon earth, may unseperably cleave unto thee being the rightful and most true God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
