the host of y• Egipciās, when they being wea¦pened: {per}secute thy seruaūt{is}, & put theyr trust in their charettes, horsmē / & in the multitude of their men of warre. But yu lokedst vpon their host / castyng a thycke darkenes before them: & when they came into the depe / the wa¦ters ouerwhelmed them.
Euen so Lorde, let it go with these / that truste in the power & multitude of their men [unspec B] of warre in theyr charettes, arowes / & spea∣res / and knowe not, that thou onely art our God, whiche destroyest warres from the be∣gynnyng / and that thou art the Lord. O lift vp thyne arme nowe, lyke as euer trō the be∣gynning, & in thy power brynge their power to naught / cause theyr myght to fall in thy wrathe. They make theyr boste, that they wyll vnhalowe and defyle thy Sanctuary / and to wayst the tabernacle of thy name, & to cast downe the horne of thyne aulter with theyr swerde. Bryng to passe (O Lorde) that the pryde of the enemye maye be cut downe with his owne swearde, that he maye be takē wt the snare of his eyes in me / and that thou mayest smyte hi with the lyppes of my loue. O geue me a stedfast minde / that I maye de¦spyse him and his strength, & that I may de∣stroye hym.
Thys shall brynge thy name an euerla∣stynge remembraunce, yf the hande of a wo∣man ouer throwe hym. For thy power (O Lord) stādeth not in y• power of men, neyther hast yu any pleasure in the strength of horses. There was neuer proude persone yt pleased the, but in the prayer of y• humble and meke hath thy pleasure bene euermore.
O thou God of the heauens / thou maker [unspec C] of the waters / and Lorde of all creatures / heare me poore woman, callynge vpon the, & puttynge my truste in thy mercy. Remembre thy couenaunt / O Lorde, and mynister wor∣des in my mouth, and stablysh this deuice in my hert, that thy house maye contynue styll in holynes / and that all the Heythen maye knowe / that thou art God / and that there is none other but thou.
