A prayer in danger of death.

MOst mercifull Sauyor, inligh∣ten mine eies that I may neuer fall a sleép in death, least mine enemie say, I haue preuayled agaynst him. They that persecute me wil be glad if I fall: but I haue fastened my hope in thy mercy. Enter not into iudgement with thy seruant, for no man liuing shalbe iustified in thy sight. I will looke before me at the Lord who is alwayes in my sight, for he is at my right hand, to keép me y^t I be not moued. My hart is glad, & my tongue reioiceth, & more ouer my flesh, shall rest in hope.
