An other prayer out of the same Psalme.
Seeing that we be perpetually tossed (O almighty God) with the most deep sea of temptations, neither are able of our selves to match them, there is good reason why we do not without just cause require thee speedily to help and succour our woeful miseries. But, if thou (who art both a rightful judge and perfect arbiter of our causes) wouldst consider all things whatsoever we have grievously offended thee in, and earnestly mark the same, who were able (I pray thee) to stand before thy tribunal seat? Seeing therefore thy mercy is notable and infinite, our earnest desire is that we may in such wise depend only thereupon, as the iniquities which we have committed, might be redeemed thereby, who are nourished daily and hourly in this hope alone, trusting ⟨image 227⟩that thou wilt never be forgetful of the true Israel, which is thy holy and blessed Church. Grant us therefore (we humbly beseech thee) to obtain at thy favourable hands, pardon and remission of sins, as a sound and sincere fruit of this steadfast confidence, through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen.
