¶ A prayer out of the .xciij. Psalme.

When as we right well consider (O most mighty God) that the world was made of thee to abide exceeding firm and unmovable,¹ who doest govern the same with so great constancy and in such perfect order, as we verily know thy excellency, might, and noble power thereby. Wherefore we take heart to us, and persuade our selves most assuredly, that thy loving promises shall be of no less assurance to stick unto, then the nature of things teacheth us, that thy glorious kingdom is both strong and unmoveable. Although therefore the cruel enemies of our salvation do vaunt themselves against us, fret exceedingly, & continually dash us together with the surges of their irefulness and grievous temptations, and rise up against us like huge waters, and tempestuous seas, yet our assured hope is that thou wilt defend us with thy invincible power and exceeding great might. Vouchsafe therefore, that both this faith may always be printed in our ⟨image 145⟩minds, and also that thy good and notable promises which thou hast made unto thy blessed Church, may not only come to pass, but also (being bestowed upon it) may long time be preserved in the same, so that thy most famous goodness and unspeakable mercy may be published more and more throughout the universal world, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Although therefore the cruell enimies of our saluation doe vaunt themselues agaynst vs, fret excéedingly, & continually dashe vs togither with the sourges of their yrefulnesse and gréeuous temptations, and rise vp against vs like huge waters, and tempestuous seas, yet our assured hope is that thou wilt defende vs wyth thy inuincible power and excéeding great might. Vouchsafe therefore, that both this fayth maye alwayes bee printed in oure
