¶ A prayer out of the .xxj. Psalme.
1We confess with a singular joy (O most mighty God) that Jesus Christ our king being endued ⟨image 33⟩with power and honour after his resurrection, doth abide and live with thee. And forsomuch as he hath now obtained and gotten most largely whatsoever may be wished or desired, tending to most perfect and everlasting blessedness, it can not otherwise be but that very much of his salvation, gifts, and glory be shed abroad and light upon us also, which are his members. Of which felicity and most singular gift, although we acknowledge and confess our selves most unworthy, by reason of our wicked manners and ungodly life: yet forsomuch as we heartily repent us of them, we are nothing doubtful of his ready help, but do also most assuredly believe that he will once vanquish, and bring to nought so many as do advance and set themselves against his glorious Kingdom. Grant (we humbly beseech thee, most deer father) that their pestiferous devices being of none effect, thy high and famous power may at length be so known and manifested, as we may always show forth thy worthy praises and passing wondrous works, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
