Forsomuch as it is thy gracious will and pleasure (O most good and merciful God) that our saviour Jesus Christ thy deer son should show forth his notable power over all creatures, and set in such wise on thy right hand, as at length the force of all his outrageous enemies may be like a footstool cast under him: our earnest request is that he would now set out and publish his mighty power in this great needful time of the Church. Let him raise unto himself willing and forward labourers for such a noble, excellent, and most commodious a work, who being inflamed with the zeal of his honour and dignity, may establish the truth of his doctrine, amend mens manners, and set up integrity of life amongst thy faithful people. For, seeing we heartily acknowledge and humbly ⟨image 178⟩confess that we have both defiled and polluted our selves by divers innumerable and most grievous crimes, we earnestly beseech thee to absolve us of them, through the expiation of Christ our mediator and high priest, which thing unless he doth it, who is ordained a priest for us after the order of Melchizedek, we can none other ways obtain the same.

Give sentence in such wise upon the wicked people, that at what time thy straight justice shall be seen, known, and manifestly perceived, all men in general may lift thee up with perpetual praises, according to thy worthy deserts, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let him rayse vnto himselfe willing and forward labourers for such a noble, excellent, and moste commodious a worke, who being inflamed with the zeale of his honor and dignitie, may establishe the truth of his doctrine, amend mens maners, and set vp integritie of life amongst thy faythfull people.
