Moreover the number of thy notable benefits are so great, as not only matter to the publishing of thy glory is ministered every where, but also that it doth in a manner overwhelm such as think thereupon any thing earnestly, as they can readily find neither beginning nor yet end for the setting forth of thy glorious name, without the wonderful assistance of thy holy spirit. Which thing ⟨image 236⟩(so long as it is duly considered of our parts) we do earnestly require in our daily prayers, that especially in the sacred assemblies, we may with most pure faith set out thy worthy praises, yield thee thy true worship, and publish thy renown with a pure life and holy conversation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
