An other prayer out of the same psalme.
Whilst we call to our remembrance and think upon the riches (O most good and merciful God) of thy loving promises, we are wonderfully stirred up to celebrate thy name with singular praises, which then augmenteth a more vehement desire, when we find by experience that thou doest very faithfully perform whatsoever thou hast promised to bestow upon us. Thou verily hast given us hitherto many things, and that truly without our deserts, ⟨image 173⟩yet there be many remaining, which we earnestly require may very speedily be accomplished. Thou hast begun to deliver us from the hands of our cruel enemies, and let this lucky beginning proceed to a further success: we be now so far forth exempted from sin, that (so long as we truly believe in thee) they shall not be imputed to us unto death. But yet for all that are we hitherto still oppressed with them: let us therefore by thy high and mighty power, shake of their yoke daily more and more. Forsomuch as thou art the first founder of thy sons Kingdom (who is the true David) have a regard therefore, (we humbly beseech thee) to set forth & make famous the light thereof amongest all Nations, and that he may purely & with great devotion be honoured and called upon by us in especial, whereby thy sacred Church may do things nobly for the advancement of thy glory, and not be plucked back by the enemies of ungodliness from the right path of perfect religion, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
