Another prayer out of the same Psalme.

The sins truly which we have committed, deserve not that we should obtain so much favour and help at thy hand: but our earnest desire is that these things may happen unto us even for the glory of thy most renowned and excellent name. Forsomuch as therefore none other God is to be sought out or found, who may be compared with thee either in power, or goodness, garnish thou us with holiness, and ⟨image 29⟩gird• us about with such strength, as we may once be led out and utterly delivered from imminent dangers, and obtain full triumph and conquest over the enemies both of thy glory and our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
