A little while after saie.
O God, although we were in extreame darke∣nesse, yet will we not feare: and though we should walke in the midst of the shadowe of death, yet will we dread none euill. For thou art with vs, thy rod and thy staffe doo comfort vs.
Now therefore that we lie in darknesse, be thou our protector, bring vs to thy light, and saue vs from vtter darkenesse, where is weeping and gnashing of teeth: that we may behold thee in that cleere light of the per∣petuall morning, where shall be no darknes, no night, nor need of anie candle or materiall light: but thou, Lord wilt inlighten vs with vnspekable glorie, So be it.
