There is none other force (O most good and merciful God) besides thine, wherein thy faithful people may have their rock, their fortress, shield and place of refuge in a readiness. But should thy godliness make any account of us who be vile dwarfish men? For both we and all our doings shall fade away like a shadow and mere vain thing, unless thou of thy excellent mercy be present and deliverest us, from the dangers that are without measure laid every where for us: who then can otherwise escape the subtle crafts and wily imaginations wherewith the enemies of mankind doth daily assail us? Our earnest desire ⟨image 248⟩is therefore to have thee lay to thy helping hand, whereby we may divers times celebrate thy worthy praises with new songs and ditties. Neither do we only require this, that those things may thrive with us which appertain to this life and a worldly prosperity: for, although these commonly be of great weight, yet do we account it a greater blessedness, if thou verily wilt so show thy self to be our god, as in deed thou art, through Jesus christ thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee evermore world without end. Amen.
