¹The hatred, armies, deceits, and pernicious devices of the fierce enemies of our salvation (O almighty God) do so daily increase, that we are enforced to cry upon thee continually. Whose whole drifts tend to none other purpose then to pull us from thee, and that there might not any person be found, which should either trust in thee, or purely call upon thy blessed name as he ⟨image 127⟩ought to do. For our own flesh, our senses, and ungodly men have together with the fierce rulers of darkness, conspired against thy sacred Church, and finally all earthly and worldly affections and ability have lift up themselves to overthrow the same. Wherefore our earnest request is that thou wouldest not keep silence, neither hold thy peace, nor yet be in quiet: for like as thou hast of old time overthrown the Egyptians, Midianites, Canaanites, and Philistines, for the safeguard of the Israelites: even so at this day deliver thou those which have wholly committed themselves to thy faithful protection and government, whose force, puissance, and salvation, is laid up in thee only. Bridle thou so the boldness of our outrageous enemies (or rather of thine) to the intent all men may perceive that thou only art the God, whom (rejecting all manner of superstitions) they ought wholly to worship and purely call upon, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
