O Mighty God, from whom cometh all our righteousness, who of thy goodness art wont to give ear to those ye cry earnestly unto thee, and bring them out of straightness & adversity into a sweet state ⟨image 12⟩of freedom & liberty: we humbly beseech thee not to despise thy faithful servants ye cry and call unto thee for help, nor suffer our glory (which is true and perfect godliness) to be brought into contempt of any, although he be a great potentate and mighty ruler of this world. We have in deed sinned against thee, yea & that very grievously: but nevertheless of thy infinite mercy & clemency, provide that vanity and lying overcome us not, nor yet prevail any thing at all against us, but as thou hast elected & chosen unto thy self those whom thou wilt have saved, so grant that the grace and favour of thy loving countenance may in such wise shine upon us, as we may be glad and rejoice even at the prosperity and welfare of our enemies: vouchsafe (O good Father) that we being grounded on an excellent and perfect faith, may take very great pleasure in thee only, and trusting also in thy mighty protection, may dwell safely in thee and with thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
