¶ A prayer out of the .Lxxiiij. Psalme.

¹IF it shall happen (O most mighty God) which we right well know doth oftentimes come to pass, that (by reason of the manifold sins which are by us oftentimes committed) we provoke thy wrathful indignation against us, and purchase the grievous scourges wherewith we be much chastised. Be ⟨image 109⟩mindful (we humbly beseech thee) of thy exceeding great goodness and loving promises, which thou knowest we have already laid hold of by faith, neither deliver thou our souls into the power of the outrageous adversaries of thy glory and our salvation. Forsomuch as they earnestly bend themselves about none other thing, but either to throw down thy excellent works, or to make void and of none effect the salvation of mankind, which with so great mercifulness thou hast purchased, let their enterprises be made frustrate, whose drifts tend to none other end but that thy glorious name may be blasphemed and very evil spoken of. Be mindful (we hum bly beseech thee) of the good things which thou hast hitherto bestowed upon us, neither cease to bring unto perfection the work of redemption that thou hast already mightily begun in us. Arise (O good god) and aide such with thy speedy helping hand, as unfeignedly call upon thee, that the fond devises of the ungodly have no success at all either against thy renowned glory or our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
