Bless good LORD, protect and defend thy Church wandering far and wide over the face ⟨p. 110⟩of the whole earth. Let thy mighty hand and stretched out arm encompass it, let thy Omnipotency be a brazen wall about it; lead it we beseech thee into all truth, concord and sincerity; save it from all schisms, errors and heresies; mightily fence it from bloody Tyrants, hellish Atheists and merciless Politicians.
Blesse good LORD, protect and defend thy Church wandring farre and wide over the face ⟨p. 110⟩of the whole earth. Let thy mighty hand and stretched out arme encompasse it, let thy Omnipotency bee a brazen wall about it; leade it we beseech thee into all truth, concord and sincerity; save it from all schismes, errors and heresies; mightily fence it from bloody Tyrants, hellish Atheists and mercilesse Polititians.
Comfort we beseech thee all those that be comfortless, and distressed with sorrow, need, sickness, imprisonment, banishment, slanderous ⟨p. 111⟩tongues, or any other cross or calamity. Especially good LORD, speak comfortably unto them in whose souls are the arrows of thine indignation, and the venom thereof drinks up their spirit, those that groan under the burden of a vexed conscience, and those that suffer persecution for the testimony of thy truth. LORD give them faith, patience and constancy to abide their trial, and a joyful issue to all their temptations.
