Make the same soft (we heartily pray thee) with the inspiration of thy good grace and holy spirit, neither suffer us to strive and struggle against thy blessed commandments, like unto the stifnecked Jews, who would so often times put thee to the trial of thy mighty power: but seeing it was not their hap to enjoy the promised land, grant (for thy infinite mercies sake) that we may at length be permitted to enter into the haven of eternal felicity after our long and daily ⟨image 147⟩travail, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
