Seeing that we are (O heavenly father) during this miserable life, wrapped in and compassed about with an infinite nun ber of perils, we direct our humble prayers and hearty petitions unto thee, to the intent thou wouldest stretch forth thy mighty arm to be our defence, and not suffer the great and very strong enemies of our salvation to prevail against us. When we are most busily vexed and afflicted of them (O good God) make it manifest that thou art our mighty protector & ready defender. There is no righteousness or purity in our works which we may vaunt and boast off in thy presence: we frankly acknowledge and confess that we have greatly strayed from thy holy precepts. Nevertheless yet pardon (according to thy accustomed wont and mercy) the ⟨image 31⟩grievous sins committed by us, and vouchsafe of thy gracious favour, to grant that we may hereafter live as becometh thy chosen, blessed, and innocent people, so that (on the other side) we may find thee elect, holy, and hurtless unto us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
