An other prayer out of the same Psalme.

Seeing that thy blessed Church (O most mighty God) is so vexed with the cruel enemies of thy glorious name and blessed doctrine, we repose our whole confidence in thee only, and fly for succour under the shadow of thy wings: we acknowledge and confess that it is our parts to direct our supplications perpetually unto thee, when thou only and none else art able to redress our good cause. We do not deny but that our deserts are marvellous wicked, insomuch as we should very justly be altogether destroyed with these present calamities: who have nothing faithfully performed that which in name and outward show hath been of us professed. But it is thy nature, O good God, (forsomuche as thou art mercy and very goodness it self) not to cast off those which fly unto thee for succour. Send down thy aiding hand from heaven (we humble beseech thee) whereby thou mayst deliver thy faithful people from the reproaches of ungodly and wicked ⟨image 91⟩persons. The Antichristians roar against thy blessed Church like Lyons, and their hot burning fury against thy holy word increaseth daily more and more. Show forth thy self therefore (O excellent father) and cause thy glory wherewith thou art renowned above all other, to be manifestly known. Rend the nets, fill up the ditches, and make the deceits of none effect, which they practise against the sacred Gospel, whereby our mind may daily more and more be strengthened heartily to confess, courageously to extol, and above all things to exalt thy wonderful praises uncessauntlye, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
