An other prayer out of the same psalme.
Thy unspeakable goodness is such (O most mighty God) towards the congregation of thy faithful servants, that look whatsoever thou hast done hitherto for setting thy faithful people at liberty, the ⟨image 167⟩same also might she now both hope for, and also assure her self of, if she had abidden in the covenant that she made with thee. For even as the persecutors of the Israelites were sore vexed & at length oppressed through thy mighty power: so in likewise (when it shall seem good unto thee) let all such as be enemies to thy sacred Church and verity, be consumed with the force of thy invincible spirit. We now therefore require this especially at thy merciful hands, that thou wouldst (so long as we be strangers from thee in this wretched life, and are compassed about on every side with an infinite nun ber of perils) lighten the night of our darkness with the bright fire of thy blessed spirit, and vouchsafe to mitigate the heat of our manifold temptations, with the most sweet cloud of thy benign grace, whereby we may so purely and with such safety finish our journey through the deserts of this sinful life, as in the end we may rejoice, for being come unto thee with purged minds into everlasting tabernacles, through Jesus christ our Lord. Amen.
THy vnspeakeable goodnesse is such (O most mightie God) towards the congregation of thy faythfull seruaunts, that looke whatsoeuer thou hast done hitherto for setting thy faythfull people at libertie, the ⟨image 167⟩same also might she now both hope for, and also assure hir selfe of, if she had abidden in the couenant that she made with thee. For euen as the persecutors of the Israelites were sore vexed & at length opprest through thy mightie power: so in likewise (when it shall seeme good vnto thée) let all such as be enimies to thy sacred Church and veritie, be consumed with the force of thy inuincible spirite. We now therefore require this especially at thy mercifull hands, that thou wouldst (so long as we be straungers from thée in this wretched lyfe, and are compassed about on euery side with an infinit nū ber of perils) lighten the night of our darknesse with the bright fire of thy blessed spirite, and vouchsafe to mittigate the heate of our manifold temptations, with the most sweete clowde of thy benigne grace, whereby we may so purely and with such safetie finishe our iourney through the deserts of this sinfull lyfe, as in the ende we may reioyce, for béeing come vnto thée with pourged minds into euerlasting tabernacles, thorow Iesus christ our Lord. Amen.
