An other prayer out of the same Psalme.

Whosoever addict themselves to honour thee (O most mighty God) with faith and pure devotion, are bound to render immortal thanks to thy glorious name, which they ought to pay unto thee in all places, every year without ceasing, every day, and every hour. The puissant force of thy great goodness extended towards us is manifested in such wise, as all men must needs confess that thou art no less merciful then invincible. For although thou art said to have placed thy kingly Court and Palace in the highest coasts of the Heavens, notwithstanding thou submittest thy divine providence to every base thing which lieth hid in the lowest part of the earth, insomuch as nothing can be done either in heaven or earth, but is clearly and most plainly seen of thee. For seeing therefore we perfectly understand that such things ⟨image 185⟩as be done of us are not unbeknown to thee, and that it is always thy accustomed manner to raise up the poor and needy (so they believe unfeignedly in thee) out of the foul and filthy dust, to more noble & most renowned Kingdoms: who also doest often cause the childless and barren women to have a plenteous household, we do with great humility lamentably require this at thy favourable hands, that thou wouldest be merciful unto the calamities thy blessed Church is now in, so as it may at length (by thy good means) be most noble & right famous, which yet goeth bestoubered with filth and dust, and whereas she seemeth to have left child bearing, let her be glad with a perfect and substantial joy for the number of her most faithful sons, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
