Thy force and puissance (O most good and mighty god) is of so great a strength, that when thou movest and stirrest up thy ⟨image 104⟩self, they are immediately scattered from their place, and put to flight whosoever they be ye bear hatred to thy blessed name and glorious kingdom: wherefore, neither do we doubt but that at this time the power of Satan and his adherents (who cease not every where to overthrow thy faithful people) shall be dispatched and come to naught, even like unto smoke that vanisheth, and mists which pass away. And for this cause, there is laid up a great pleasure and exceeding comfort unto the faithful, whereof, we heartily require thee that we also may be partakers, and that thou wouldst ease us of the fardel of sin wherewith we are most grievously burdened, & that taking us unto thy gracious favour again, thou wilt indue us very largely with thy holy spirit. Seeing that thou art the father of the fatherless, and a revenger of such as be miserably oppressed, vouchsafe also to deliver us from the fetters of our iniquities, neither be thou any thing less our strong defence, then thou wert the children of Israels mighty protector in the wilderness. We be as thou well perceivest (by reason of ⟨image 104⟩our heinous sins) greatly disfigured: let therefore the bright favour and light of thy favourable countenance be present with us, whereby our minds may be made splendent & reformed unto the sovereign bless and highest felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
