Although the ungodly (O most mighty God) seem to ruffle sometime so greatly, as they turn all things upside down, yet there is no cause why the faithful should be greatly afraid, forsomuch as thou hast taken the government of all worldly things into thy mighty protection, and guidest with thy excellent wisdom the state of the whole world: for whosoever they be which are assuredly persuaded in this point, they leave fear for such as be otherwise minded, while they themselves (being fully replenished with pure joy and perfect gladness) do extol thee with unceasing praises to the uttermost of their powers, and show forth thy famous glory by all means that can be devised: unto whom we also annex our endeavours with an exceeding cheerful courage, and also ⟨image 154⟩humbly require thee in our most fervent cries and earnest petitions, that as thou showedst thy self gentle and treatable unto Moses, Aaron, Samuel, and the remnant of thy most faithful priests, when they did invocate & call upon thy glorious name: give ear in likewise to us at this present, & defend thy sacred Church (which now standeth in great need of thy mighty assistance, if ever it wanted the same) no less with thy divine presence, good counsel, holy spirit and grace, then thou diddest help our fathers in times past with a pillar of fire, with clouds in the Sea, and in the most wide and large wilderness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
