Another prayer out of the same psalme.
Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ (O most good and mighty God) suffered marvellous bitter punishments, and extreme painful torments for the salvation of mankind. For when he had laid the sins of the world upon himself, it behoved him to be vexed so fiercely and outrageously, as he might suffer the full punishment for them all. Finally, being nailed unto the Cross, he spent his most sweet life for us, unto whom he hath, by that means purchased pardon & forgiveness of sins, thy loving friendship, and eternal life, if we shall faithfully believe his sacred doctrine and blessed gospel. But alas, as we be very weak in faith, so are we lightly forgetful of such great and manifold benefits: yea we rather live as men unworthy of the redemption that was of so mighty a price unto our most innocent lord. For which cause we bewail this calamity in thy presence (O heavenly father) humbly praying and earnestly beseeching thee not to suffer us to be utterly ⟨image 36⟩destitute of the fruit of our Lord Jesus Christ his Cross and death, who liveth and reigneth with thee evermore world without end. Amen.
