¹Seeing that thou (O most mighty God) hast vouchsafed thy dearly beloved Son our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ to sit at thy right hand, having a full, perfect, and sovereign power, insomuch as he doth rule and govern all things, neither shall there be any of his adversaries remaining, but may at length be cast under him as his footstool: ponder diligently we humbly beseech thee, after what sort the ungodly and most outrageous Antichristians advance themselves in these days, who dare openly say of him: we will not have this man reign over us, neither can they be any thing satisfied by showing forth this their outrageous anger after a most spiteful manner, both against thy blessed spirit, and also upon us thy chosen people: wherefore send out from heaven (O mighty GOD) thy puissant Sceptre and rod of thy great fury upon them, so that thy deer son may (by the holy ghost and sacred Gospel) be of sovereign authority, even in the middest of his deadly enemies. Grant also his faithful people to be of such a willing and ready mind, as they (being a very great number) ⟨image 177⟩may assemble and meet together for the defence of his glorious kingdom, not only with their most fervent prayers, but also by all that means they can possible imagine and devise. We truly are (by reason of our heinous sins) unworthy of so great and unspeakable a benefit, who have hitherto led our life nothing faithfully. Have no regard to us at all (O heavenly father) but unto thy solemn oath and promise, wherewith thou hast ordained thy deer son to be both a noble Prince, and also a loving priest in the true Church for the preservation thereof. Vouchsafe therefore in these our days, that the kings, rulers, & mighty powers of this wretched world, (who have so laid their heads together against him) may be utterly consumed with the fury of thy heavy displeasure, and do due execution upon these blasphemous and most dishonest adversaries, so as this sacred Dominion and Empire of the glorious Gospel may be greatly enlarged throughout the universal world, and that Jesus Christ thy deer son which seemeth to be in a manner altogether oppressed in us, may be right well known to lift up his head
