We have not conceived hope of our salvation (O almighty God) any where else, then from thy most faithful promises, drawing out thereof only an assured consolation, if that at any time either the flesh, mans reason, the devil, or wicked men shall vaunt themselves any thing stoutly against us. We take a marvellous good courage against all these things, forsomuch as thou wilt most largely perform whatsoever thou hast faithfully promised, because, that even from the beginning, we have had thy faith in perfect remembrance, seeing it doth manifestly appear […] thou ⟨image 195⟩hast never deceived any that trust only in thee. Vouchsafe therefore that we may both day & night be unseperably annexed to this most strong rock, invincible fortress, and well cast Anchor. For inasmuch as we mistrust not but thou wilt perform whatsoever belongeth unto thee, this remaineth, that we execute with an exceeding fervent desire, the charge which is left unto us, so that we may (marvellous speedily) bestir our steppes and feet toward the fulfilling of thy blessed law. Cause thou us (O excellent father) we humbly beseech thee, to cut of and cast aside all delays, and that contrary to the expectation of the ungodly, who always cast lets to entrap us, we may be obedient to thy sacred precepts, so that all those which honour and love thee purely, may accompany us, that like as the earth is every where replenished with thy inestimable goodness, so the number of thy true and faithful suppliants may be daily more and more greatly augmented, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
