Another PRAYER for QUEEN MARY, and her SUPPOSED CHILD.
O Almighty Father, who didst sanctify the blessed virgin and mother Mary in her conception, and in the birth of Christ our Saviour thine only Son; also by thine omnipotent power didst safely deliver the prophet Jonah out of the whale's belly: defend, O Lord, we beseech thee, thy servant Mary, our queen, with child conceived, and so visit her in and with the godly gift of health, that not only the child thy creature, within her contained, may joyfully come from her into this world, and receive the blessed sacraments of baptism and confirmation, enjoying therewith daily increase of all princely and gracious gifts both of body and soul; but that also she the mother, through thy special grace and mercy, may in time of her travail avoid all excessive grief and pain, and abide perfect and sure from all peril and danger of death, with long and prosperous life, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
