The fourth Prayer: wherein he prayeth for faith, for zeale and strength, to vndergoe Gods corrections, and to be deliue∣red from the dangers pre∣pared against him.
LOrd, I lift vp mine heart vnto thoe, my soule trusteth in thée, let me not be confounded: let not men haue their desires against mée: let thy blessings be powred downe vpon mee, let thy cup of comfort and saluation be filled vnto me, and let thy right hand be ready and outstretched to hold mee vp, and in thy prouidence furnish me with the hid treasures of thy loue.
So shall I sit safely vpon a sure rocke, and be furnished with such things as may pacifie such as now are importunate with mee for that which I cannot performe: and resting in danger of their cruelties, haue no other refuge, but to depend on thy mercy and prouidence, wherein (as in a safe sanctuary) I shall rest euermore preserued, vntill these dangers be ouer∣past.
