¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing we wander so in this world, that our minds are easily encumbered and troubled and our judgement darkened when we do see the glistering power and prosperity of the wicked to be terrible both to us and to all others: Grant we beseech thee, that we lifting up our eyes unto the heavens, may remember always how great power thou hast bestowed upon that thine only begotten son, even to this end, that he should guide us and govern us by the power of his spirit, and should also defend us through his fidelity & protection: so that he should alter, change and transpose the whole world for our salvation, that so we may quietly rest under his defence, and fight forth our battle boldly and constantly, with such patience as he commandeth and commendeth, whiles that in the end we may attain that fruit of victory which thou hast promised unto us, and the which also thou wilt show unto us in thy heavenly kingdom. So be it.
