Deliver the Churches that are oppressed by Idolaters, Mahometans, 1or other Infidels and Enemies. Give all thy Servants, Prudence, Patience and Innocency, that suffering as Christians, and not as Evil-Doers, they may not be ashamed, but may glorify thee, and wait for thy Salvation, committing the keeping of their souls unto thee, in hope of a Reward in Heaven.

Deliver the Church from the Roman Papal Usurpations 1and Corruptions, dispel the deceits of Heresies, and false Worship, by the light of thy prevailing Truth; Unite all Christians in Christ Jesus, the true and only Universal Head: that by the true Christian Catholic Faith and Love, they may grow up in him, and may keep the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace; the strong receiving and bearing the Infirmities of the weak; Heal the divisions that are among Believers; Let nothing be done through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind; let each esteem other better than himself, and let all men know that we are Christs Disciples, by our fervent love to one another.
