Yea lord which passeth all wonders, & is far above mans power to perceive therein thy working, thou diddest cause the huge, ⟨image 32⟩and great dragon of the seas, the horrible Leviathan, and Behemoth, the main whale fish, to swallow up and devour, thy servant Jonah, to keep him iii. days and iii. nights in the dungeon of his belly the dark hellicke grave to a living man, Thou diddest cause that great monster, to carry him to the place, that thou haddest appointed, and there to cast him up save, and able to do thy massage. Now also O heavenly father, beholder of all things, to whom only belongeth vengeance, thou seest & considerest how thy holy name by the wicked worldlings, and blasphemous Idolaters is dishonoured, thy sacrate word, refused, forsaken and despised, thy holy sprite provoked, and offended, thy chosen temple polluted, and defiled, Tarry not too long ⟨image 33⟩therefore, but show thy power speedily upon thy chosen household, which is so grievously vexed, & so cruelly handled by thy open enemies, Avenge thy own glory, and shorten these evil days, for thy elects sake. Let thy kingdom come of all thy desired, & though our livings, hath offended thy majesty, as we do confess unfeignedly (O Lord) that we have all sinned, our kings, princes, priests prophets, and people, All we together, with our parents fathers & mothers, have most grievously, infinitely, passing all measure, and number with our hard flintishe hearts, our dissolute, and careless life, without all shame and repentance for sin, offended, transgressed, trespassed, sinned, and committed most horrible wickedness, so that we have worthily deserved, ⟨image 33⟩the uttermost of thy plagues and terrible vengeance. Yet for thy own glory (O merciful Lord) suffer not the enemy of thy Son Christ, the romish Antichrist, thus wretchedly to delude, and draw from the our poor brethren, for whom thy Son once died, that by his cruelty, after so clear light, they should be made captives to dumb Idols, and devilish Inventions, of popish ceremonies, thereunto pertaining. Suffer him not to seduce the simple sort with his fond opinion, that his false gods, blind mumbling, feigned religion or his foolish superstition, doth give him such conquests, such victories, such triumph, and so high hand over us.
Yea lord which passeth al wonders, & is far aboue mans powre to perceiue therin thy workinge, thou didest cause the huge, ⟨image 32⟩and greate dragon of the seas, ye horrible Leuiathan, and Behemoth, the main whalefish, to swalow vp and deuoure, thy seruaūt Ionas, to kepe him iii. dayes and iii. nightes in the dongeon of his bealy the darke hellicke graue to a liuinge man, Thou didest cause that grete monster, to carie him to the place, yt thou haddest apointed, and ther to cast him vp saue, and able to do thy massage. Now also O heauenly father, beholdor of all thinges, to whome only belongeth vengeaunce, thou seest & considrest how thy holy name by the wicked wordlinges, and blasphemous Idoloters is dishonorid, thy sacrate woorde, refused, forsaken and dispised, thy holye sprite prouokede, and offended, thy chosene temple polluted, and deffilede, Tarie not tooe longe ⟨image 33⟩therfore, but show thy powre spedelye vpon thy chosen household, which is so greuously vexed, & so cruelly handled by thy open enemyes, Auenge thy owne glorye, and shorten these euell dayes, for thy electes sake. Let thy kingdom come of all thy desyred, & though oure liuinges, hath offended thy maiesty, as we doe cōfesse vnfaynedly (O Lorde) that we haue all sinned, our kings, princes, prestes prophetes, and people, All we together, wyth our parētes fathers & mothers, haue most greuously, infinitely, passing all mesure, and number with our harde flintishe hartes, our dissolute, and careles lyfe, withoute all shame and repentaunce for syn, offendid, transgressid, trespassid, synned, and cō mitted most horrible wickednes, so yt we haue worthely deserued, ⟨image 33⟩the vttermoste of thy plages and terrible vengeaunce. Yet for thy owne glorye (O mercifull Lord) suffer not the enemye of thy sonne Chryste, the romyshe Antichrist, thus wretchedlye to delude, and draw frō the our poore brethern, for whome thy sonne once died, that by his crueltie, after so cleare light, thei shold be made captiues to domme Idoles, and deuelysh Inuentions, of popyshe ceremonies, therunto pertayning. Suffer hym not to seduce the symple sort with his fonde opinion, that his false gods, blind mumbling, fayned religion or his folishe supersticion, doth geue hym suche conquestes, suche victories, suche triumphe, and so high hand ouer vs.
