An other prayer out of the same psalme.
Such as repose their whole trust and confidence in thee only (O almighty God) have put themselves under the shadow of thy assurance and fortress of thy most strong defence, where they may be in safety from all the assaults of the enemies, and preserved from every pernicious thing that may annoy them. When as wicked men (being undoubtedly members of the devil and his Catchpolls) shall practise any evil thing against them, they shall at no time be left destitute of Gods assured help and faithful promise, for he will quickly defend them as a mighty strong shield. And when most grievous temptations, which happen daily, do rage on every side, whereby an infinite number of mortal men fall down headlong into everlasting damnation: what soever they are which have assured themselves in their hearts and prayed unto the Lord: thou art my God, and thou art the thing I only trust in: evil shall in no wise happen unto these kind of men, but they shall remain steadfast and without ⟨image 141⟩fear when others fall and come to naught.

And therefore we humbly require thee (O excellent father) to vouchsafe that we may not be secluded from partaking of so great good things, but that we may in such wise love thee, and so repose our whole trust in thy divine Majesty, as we may seek none other refuge and pillar to stand by, but thee only, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

And when most gréeuous temptations, which happen dayly, doe rage on euery side, whereby an infinite number of mortal men fall downe hedlong into euerlasting damnation: what soeuer they are which haue assured themselues in their heartes and prayed vnto the Lord: thou art my God, and thou art the thing I onelye trust in: euill shall in no wise happen vnto these kinde of men, but they shall remaine stedfast and without
