Forsomuch as (O heavenly father) during the time we live in this transitory world amongst frail mortal creatures, of Godly true dealing and faithful persons, there is marvellous great want, whereas, contrariwise, men may see a wonderful company of ungodly persons, deceitful men, flatterers, & such as be great talkers, and speak very proud words: we pour out our humble prayers before hand, unto thee, who art our refuge, beseeching thee, that thou wouldest not so weigh and regard those things which we have frowardly committed against thee, as to give us over unto the lust and fury of wicked and lewd men, according to our ⟨image 23⟩just deserts. But rather (for thy great mercies sake, which is marvellous ample and exceeding large) arise, and with thy mighty power, deliver those that trust in thee, from the snares, deceit, and subtle wiles which the enemies of all godliness do practise and imagine continually against them: that whilst thou art their defence & mighty preserver from the wicked and most cursed generation, all men may understand thy promises and words to be both garnished with a singular and unspeakable verity, and also most pure and uncorrupt from every sport of deceivableness and vain losing, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
