Grant almighty God and most merciful father, seeing thou doest set forth unto us so clear and bright a glass wherein we may both behold thy providence and thy marvellous judgements that thou hast heretofore executed upon thine old people, that we also may fully persuade our selves that we are also under thy hand and protection: whereby we may so rest and settle our selves always, that what soever cometh unto us, we may still trust that thou wilt be our keeper and defender, always careful for our salvation: so that we may safely and with quiet minds call upon thee, and so cheerfully wait for all dangers in all manner of changes of this world, that we may stand stable in thy word which never faileth, and cleaving unto thy faithful promises, may nothing doubt but that Christ to whom thou hast given us, whom also thou wilt have to be the pastor of thy whole flock, is so careful over us that he will lead & bring all through this brunt of our battle how grievous and troublesome so ever, whiles we attain to that heavenly rest which by his blood he hath purchased for us.
