¶ A prayer out of the .xiiij. Psalme.
1Take away from thy deer children (O most mighty God) those notorious wicked Counsels and foolish ⟨image 24⟩imaginations, whereby we may surmise in our minds that thou art no God at all: and although thou knowest well enough that we have oftentimes erred & gone astray from the true path of righteousness, for which cause sake, we have very well deserved even like bread and most delicious meat, of them to be devoured and utterly consumed as are the most mischievous and furious enemies of godliness. We humbly beseech thee, that as thou hast promised to aid and assist the generation of these men, and all such as put their trust in thee, so thou wouldest not forsake us being thus extreme miserable & grievously afflicted. Let thy help appear and show forth it self out of the heavenly Zion, that when thou hast delivered us from the bondage and corruption of sin, death, and the Devil, thy beloved Church may not only be cheered and refreshed, but also be exceeding joyous, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
