But like as we put our trust and confidence in thee only, so our earnest desire is, that thou wilt succour and defend us. We do not lay forth our own cause before thee, as though we had committed none of these things whereof they accuse us, but are persuaded that thou (of thine own mercy) wilt pardon and forgive us the same, through the intercession of Jesus Christ our Mediator. Wherefore we humbly require and earnestly ⟨image 14⟩beseech thee to stand up for to be our helper, that thou wilt also direct, and as a most strong shield defend us that those evils may fall from us, and light upon the authors of all temptations, deceits, & maliciousness, so as we may on the other side praise thee and set forth thy glorious name with all possible & studied commendations, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
