Have mercy upon us (O good God) deliver and rescue us from the Gates of death, least we be swallowed up therewith: being aided and holpen by thee, we shall show forth thy worthy praises in the congregation, namely, because our trust hath not been reposed in thee in vain. Arise therefore, and suffer not impiety, unrighteousness, and sin to prevail against us, but grant also, that we bearing well in mind our own estate and condition, may with a modest and lowly mind, be always obedient to thy will and pleasure, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
