Seeing that the Church is thy blessed house wherein thou (O Lord God) art highly praised & greatly commended.¹ Vouchsafe we humbly beseech thee, that the foundation thereof be not made upon sand, but in a large plain ground situated upon the hills of thy most holy Saints, whose head and Chieftain is Christ. And to the intent thou (O good Lord) mayst continually abide therein, or the place of thy habitation to be wonderful pleasant and delectable, in which thou speakest things of very great importance, whereunto men have recourse from all parts and borders of the world, being augmented through the mighty preaching of thy blessed word, and is notably increased upon all men by the comfort of thy exceeding sweet promise: let her fame be very largely spread abroad, for that she hath no respect of persons or deserts, but cause all thy sanctified children (be they Jews or Ethnics, Lords or servants) to spring and grow up in the same together, through the steadfast and unremovable faith they have in Christ Jesus. For this was thy own purposed will (O most high & mighty ⟨image 133⟩God) even from the beginning, to gather some together out of divers nations of the world, through the most manifest declaration of strange & unknown tongues, by whom thou mightest be highly celebrated in pleasant songs and loud blasts of glorious Trumpets, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So be it.

SEing that the Church is thy blessed house wherein thou (O Lord God) art highly praysed & greatly cōmended.¹
