And if at any ⟨p. 278⟩time, as it is ordinary with Gods children, it shall please thee to exercise me with any cross, disgrace, slander, discountenance, loss of goods, disease of body, terror of soul, or the like, I pray thee ever sweeten & sanctify them unto me by thy blessing: & grant that I may ever obediently with all peace of heart, & patience of spirit submit to thy will & wisdom therein; being fully assured that to me, which am in Christ, the sting, curse and poison of them is most certainly pulled ⟨p. 279⟩out by the Passion of thy Son.

And that all things, even the rage of Satan, the malice of men, the miseries of this life, nay even the sins of my soul, in an holy sense, by thy blessings shall turn unto my everlasting good.
