An other prayer out of the same Psalme.

Such as belong to thy heritage, and are the true Israel, must needs confess with us (O most mighty God) that unless we had been preserved and holpen by thy singular favour and mighty power, we should have been swallowed up and utterly consumed to nothing more then once, by the fierce enemies of our salvation. For if we look for help else where to succour us, we know assuredly that it is of no force at all. The violence and outrage of those men which do grievously assault us, is like most swift streams of water that do suddenly overflow the fields, whose outrageous cruelty may be fully compared to the fierceness of brute beasts, which men also use such crafty and covert snares to trap us in, as the fowlers and hunters are nothing comparable unto them herein, but seem very simple, & far their inferiors. Wherefore (according to our bounden duty) we render condigne thanks unto thee, forsomuch as thou hast hitherto delivered thy ⟨image 215⟩simple and feeble flock from so great perilous dangers, and request this at thy merciful hands, that thou wouldst in likewise not suffer thy sacred Church hereafter to be overthrown, neither by outrageous violence, nor yet through subtle deceit, so as our assured confidence in thee may be daily more and more greatly augmented and mightily increased, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
