The Prayer.
Grant almighty God that seeing every one of us have our state limited, we may be well contented with our place and condition, and that when thou wilt humble us, we may willingly submit our selves unto thee, and suffer our selves to be governed by thee, & that we may never desire that height that should cast us down headlong to destruction. Again, we beseech thee to grant, that every one of us in our vocation may behave our selves so modestly, that thou mayst always have thine high authority amongest us. Furthermore, that we may seek nothing but to bestow our labour and travail to serve thee and our brethren to whom we are joined, that thy name may thus be glorified in us all, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Agayne, we besech thee to graunt, that euery one of vs in our vocation may behaue our selues so modestly, that thou mayst alwayes haue thyne high authoritie amongest vs. Furthermore, that we may seeke nothyng but to bestow our labour and trauayle to serue thee and our brethren to whom we are ioyned, that thy name may thus be glorified in vs all, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
21 And he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild Asses: they fed him with grass like Oxen, & his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the most high God did rule over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whom so ever he pleaseth.
