The Prayer.
O Great God, who art highly to be praised, who hast manifested thy power and thy mercy in the constitution, propagation, and de∣fence of thy Holy Church, by the miraculous as∣sistances and effects of thy Holy Spirit, insomuch that the Kings of the earth marvailed to see such things, and were astonied and suddenly cast down, acknowledging the powers of thy King∣dome, and submitting to thy lawes with faith and obedience: be pleased, according to thy gra∣cious promise, to uphold the same for ever, let not the gates of Hell prevaile against thy Church, be thou known in her palaces as a sure refuge, make her the joy of the whole earth, and let her be glad and rejoyce because of thy judgements, so shall we praise thee in the midst of thy Tem∣ple, wayting for thy loving kindnesse, that accor∣ding as thy name is, so may thy praise be, infinite and eternall, world without end. Amen.
