MOst omnipotent MAKER and GVIDER of all Worlds Masse, that onely searchest and fadomest the bottome of all hearts-conceits, and in them seest the true ori∣ginall
of all actions inten∣ded: Thou that by thy fore∣sight doest truely discerne, how no malic of reuenge, nor quittance of iniurie, nor desire of bloodshed, nor greedines of lucre hath bred the resolution of our now set-out Armie, but a heedfull care, and a wary watch, that no neglect of foes, nor ouersuertie of harme, might breed either danger to vs, or glory to them.
These being the grounds, thou that didst inspire the mind, we humbly beseech thee with bended knees, prosper the worke, and with
the best fore-windes, speed the Iourney, giue the vic∣torie, and make the returne the aduancement of thy glory, the trump of thy Fame, and suertie of thy Realme, with the least losse of English blood. To these deuout petitions, Lord giue thy blessed graunt, A∣men.
