For this intent and purpose (O most mighty God) are we determined to honour & extol thee, because thou art always ready to hear those that call upon thy glorious name with a right sincere faith, and doest manifest thy presence by the bestowing of notable and excellent gifts. We render most hearty thanks unto thee for this cause chiefly, in that thou hast vouchsafed to choose unto thy self a Church out of this great number of us, wherein (seeing it is convenient that thou shouldest reign and show thy almighty power) we earnestly require thee, utterly to subvert all manner of ungodliness, and contrariwise maintain ⟨image 111⟩innocency and right pure religion. What earthly and fleshly thing of the world remaineth in us, let it forthwith be drowned, and cause thou all things (which by thy heavenly spirit thou hast bestowed upon us in our regeneration) to be throughly grounded in us: make thy righteous and elect servants like unto most strong pillars, but let such as inhabit the earth, which strive against thy holy name, and blessed doctrine, stagger and fall. Have a regard to this, we humbly beseech thee (O excellent father) that the fools may forsake at one time or other their folly, and let the wicked at length cease to abuse their power, which they seem to bend against godliness and thy sacred Gospel: do away their furious words, arrogant taunts, and rebellious blasphemies. Neither have thou (O good God) any respect in this case what our sins have deserved (which are very heavy and right grievous to be borne) neither are we ignorant of them, nor yet do we mistrust, but thou (for thy infinite mercies sake) wilt utterly blot those out, least we be enforced through the same, to drink dry the cup of thy most bitter wrath. Let ⟨image 112⟩so many as give themselves to naughtiness, drink of the same, yea make them to suck out all the dregs thereof, so that thy blessed church may have thy just judgements in perpetual remembrance, and extol them with continual praises, when as she shall see the horns of the ungodly broken, and such mightily preserved and highly set up as have altogether addicted themselves to righteousness & a perfect godly life, through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen.
FOr this intent and purpose (O moste mightie God) are we determined to honor & extoll thée, bicause thou art alwayes readie to heare those that call vpon thy glorious name with a right sincere fayth, and doest manifest thy presence by ye bestowing of notable and excellent giftes. We render most heartie thankes vnto thee for this cause chiefly, in that thou hast vouchedsafe to choose vnto thy selfe a Church out of this great number of vs, wherein (seeing it is conuenient that thou shouldest reigne and shewe thy almightie power) we earnestly require thée, vtterly to subuert all maner of vngodlinesse, and contrariwise maintein ⟨image 111⟩innocencie and right pure religion. What earthly and fleshly thing of the worlde remaineth in vs, let it forthwith be drowned, and cause thou all thinges (which by thy heauenly spirite thou hast bestowed vpon vs in our regeneration) to bée throughly grounded in vs: make thy righteous and elect seruauntes like vnto most strong pillers, but let suche as inhabite the earth, which striue against thy holye name, and blessed doctrine, stagger and fall. Haue a regarde to this, we humbly beséech thée (O excellent father) that the fooles may forsake at one tyme or other their folly, and let the wicked at length ceasse to abuse their power, which they séeme to bend against godlinesse and thy sacred Gospell: doe away their furious wordes, arrogant taunts, and rebellious blasphemies. Neyther haue thou (O good God) any respect in this case what our sinnes haue deserued (which are verye heauie and right gréeuous to be borne) neither are we ignoraunt of them, nor yet doe we mistrust, but thou (for thy infinite mercies sake) wilt vtterly blotte those out, least we be inforced through the same, to drinke drie the cup of thy most bitter wrath. Let ⟨image 112⟩so manye as giue themselues to naughtinesse, drinke of the same, yea make them to sucke out all the dregges thereof, so that thy blessed church may haue thy iust iudgements in perpetuall remembraunce, and extoll them with continuall prayses, when as she shall sée the hornes of the vngodlye broken, and suche mightily preserued and highly set vppe as haue altogither addicted thēselues to righteousnesse & a perfect godly life, through Iesus Christ our lord. Amen.
