Notwithstanding my duty of defending the truth / and love which I have first towards God / and then towards my country / constraineth me being thus provoked / to speak a few words more particularly of the form of prayer / that when the blemishes thereof do appear / it may please the Queens majesty / and her honourable Council / with those of the Parliament / whom the Lord hath used as singular instruments to deliver this realm from the hot furnace and iron yoke of the popish Egypt / to procure also / that the corruptions which we have brought from them (as those wish which we ⟨p. 136⟩being so deeply did and stained / have not so easily shaken of) may be removed from amongst us / to the end that we being nearlier both joined unto the sincerity of the gospel / and the policy of other reformed churches / may thereby be joined nearer with the Lord / and may be set so far from Rome / that both we may comfort our selves in the hope / that we shall never return thither again / & our adversaries which desire it / and by this too much agreement with them / and too little with the reformed churches / hope for it / may not only be deceived of their expectation / but also being out of all hope of that which they desire / may the sooner yield themselves unto the truth / whereunto they are now disobedient.

Notwythstanding my duetie of defending the truthe / and loue whych I haue first towardes God / and then towards my countrey / constraineth me being thus prouoked / to speake a fewe woordes more particularly of the fourme of prayer / that when the blemishes thereof doe appeare / it may please the Queenes maiestie / and her honourable Councell / wyth those of the Parliamente / whome the Lorde hathe vsed as singulare instrumentes to deliuer thys realme from the hotte furnaice and iron yoke of the popishe Egipte / to procure also / that the corruptions whych we haue broughte from them (as those wysh whych we ⟨p. 136⟩being so deepely dide and stained / haue not so easely shaken of) may be remoued from amongst vs / to the end that we being nearelyer both ioyned vnto the sincerity of the gospell / and the pollicy of other reformed churches / may therby be ioyned nearer wyth the Lord / and may be set so far from Rome / that both we may comfort our selues in the hope / that we shall neuer returne thether againe / & our aduersaries whych desire it / and by this too much agreement with them / and too little wyth the reformed churches / hope for it / may not only be deceiued of their expectation / but also being out of all hope of that whych they desire / may the soner yeelde themselues vnto the truth / whervnto they are now disobedient.
