We earnestly require thee therefore to keep us (through the grace and favour of our Lord Jesus Christ) in the obedience of thy most holy will, and call us back from our innumerable & most grievous sins, vouchsafing finally to preserve thy blessed church, not verily for her own deserts sake, but for the honour of thy most glorious name.

And like as thou hast of old time spared thy people (whom thou determinedst to destroy) at Moses intercession, even so pardon and forgive us all manner of crimes and faults that we have offended thee in, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
