The second branch, But deliver us from evil.

The second branch, But deliuer vs from euill.

Together with the fruit of Righteousness (which is to be sanctified by the Spirit of thy Son) give us also the free reward which thou hast promised to all that are ⟨p. 475⟩found in him. Hale and pull us, as a beast that sticketh in the mire, out of the miserable condition whereinto sin hath plunged us, the curse of the Law, Hell, Death, and Condemnation; and from him that hath the power of death, that is to say, the Devil. So make us happy and blessed, through the communion of the Blessedness which is in thee, that even now in some measure we may have our part in all, and so much as is able to fall into this life: where the testimony and assurance of thy love, and the having and enjoying (in and from thy love) of all the good things of this present life, both for necessity and Christian Delight, Maintenance, Health, Credit, Friends, Comfort of Wife, Children, Servants, a Blessing upon our Labours, the fruit of Magistracy and of Government, and good order in the World, together with the sanctifying of all things, even our very troubles and crosses of this life, unto our good, so as thou in thy Mercy hast appointed for us, Peace of conscience and Joy in the Holy Ghost, do excel: and by these degrees, as it were by so many steps and stairs make us to climb up to that perfect and eternal Happiness, which is reserved for thy Saints in Heaven, when Hell, Satan, sin, weakness, shame trodden under foot, we shall be all spiritual and glorious, and reign as Kings with thee for evermore.
