An other prayer out of the same Psalme.
Although the holy Scriptures do teach us every where that the heaven (O most good and merciful God) is thy dwelling place, yet the same do in such wise set out thy infinite goodness, as the Church is both called, and also is in deed thy sanctified house wherein thou most frequentest: at what time therefore we shall come together in the holy congregations, our earnest request is that we may be there with cheerful and very desirous minds.
