An other prayer out of the same psalme.
Notwithstanding we do right well consider (O most mighty God) that our force and counsels are very simple, yet we doubt not but that we thy blessed Saints and elect vessels, are provoked to pour out our earnest prayers and woeful cries continually before thy divine Majesty, and to repose our whole confidence in thee only. Be thou therefore prest and ready (who art very meek and loving, and also endued with most bountiful mercy and goodness) to hear them that call uncessauntly to thee for speedy help. Before all things teach us thy most perfect ways, ⟨image 132⟩so that (all dissimulation and hypocrisy being laid apart) we may very purely and with much sincerity obey thy blessed commandments. And like as nothing is able to match thy Godhead, so our earnest desire is that all mortal men should know and duly reverence the same: which thing shall be done, if, as thou hast oftentimes delivered thy loving servants from most dangerous perils: so thou wouldest at this present have an especial regard unto them, by increasing their strength and making their perfect deliverance more ample, at what time the most puissant enemies of mans salvation rise up mightily against thy faithful people. Publish we humbly beseech thee, this famous and notable sign, to the intent that when as the cruel adversaries of thy glory shall right well understand the same, they may in good earnest unfeignedly turn and be converted unto thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
