¶ A prayer out of the .xvj. Psalme.
Forsomuch as we are so poor (O most deer father of heaven) and thou so exceeding rich in all things,1 and thy works most noble and plentiful, surely nothing is given unto us, nor any thing at all in our power whereby we may either merit or increase thy most blessed estate and felicity: but yet seeing that our whole trust and affiance dependeth on thee only, we humbly present our selves, and fall down before thy divine Majesty, beseeching thee to preserve us from those evils which environ & compass us about on every side. And our heinous sins wherewith thou well perceivest unto be overladen, being pardoned, grant that as thou art become our rightful inheritance, so we may whol• set our joy and delight in thee aga••, and account it a most pleasant comely thing to set forth ⟨image 26⟩and commend thee only and none else: instruct thou us, counsel thou us, & be thou always before our eyes, least we swerve at any time from the right way, so that we may with great joy (during this mortal life) remain and abide in thee, and after the most and glorious resurrection be partakers of those everlasting & perfect pleasures, which we believe do consist only in thy most mighty will and power, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
