An other prayer out of the same psalme.
There is nothing that doth more relieve and comfort our feeble minds being in great distress and extreme calamities (O most good and merciful God) then the Anchor of faith, which dependeth most steadfastly upon thy excellent goodness. Wherefore, seeing that not without just cause we burn and fry in our lewd vices, we resort unto thy divine Majesty, and (being marvellous sore burdened with the grievous fardel of our most heinous sins) do daily call upon thee for thy assistant and ready help. Send us aid from heaven we humbly beseech thee, otherwise we shall not be in safety from the Lions, Spears, Darts, and deceitful tongues, wherewith Satan doth marvellously afflict thy holy Church. Advance thy self, and make thy infinite power most manifest in taking us out of our enemies hands. For so thy unspeakable clemency and notable faithfulness (which far surmount the Clouds and glorious heavens) shall appear bright in their own excellent greatness, and we in giving due thanks for our deliverance, will joyfully sing double praises to thy glorious name for evermore, through Jesus ⟨image 90⟩Christ our Lord. Amen.
