Antichrist with all his adherents do imagine none other thing in their mind against thy sacred Church (O most good and merciful God) then mischief and most wicked devices: but whereas they make a goodly show to the intent they would be accounted godly and religious, yet in very deed they imagine nothing but lies, going astray from thee, even from their birth, having always hitherto marvellous great delight in erroneous things. Now at length are they desirous to spew out and ⟨image 92⟩cast forth their venom which they (like the Adder) have kept in a readiness, neither could they so be charmed with the sayings of the holy Scriptures, as to cease from their own lewd desires. Surely (O heavenly father) we are not they that deserve not to be destroyed by them for our evil deeds and lewd behaviour, for so much as (through thy excellent mercy) we have well known the way of truth and life, albeit we have continually started aside therefrom, & given our selves to vain imaginations & wicked desires. But deal thou with us according to the glory & honour of thy name, and vouchsafe to yield unto us not that which we have deserved, but that which by thy promises behight us. Overthrow, grind to powder, and utterly make void the subtle devices, outrageous force, and devilish power of the enemies of thy glorious name and sincere doctrine, so that the godly may perfectly rejoice when as they see thee take their cause in hand, and shall perceive that their is some fruit of righteousness, while thou dealest by upright judgement, through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen.
