The Prayer.

O Lord God, mighty and mercifull, thou ri∣dest upon the heavens, as it were upon an horse, thou art the Father of the Fatherlesse, and defendest the cause of the widdow; have merey upon thy holy Church; and since her Lord and Spouse is gone up on high, even to his holy habi∣tation, leave us not comfortiesse, but send the holy Ghost in assistances and gifts to dwell a∣mongst us; that by his ayd, we may escape death spirituall, and the bitternesse of the temporall. Send a gracious raine, even the dew of thy Di∣vine favours upon thine inheritance, to refresh us in our wearinesse and sadnesses. Make thy people innocent & chast as the dove▪ and besides the beauty of internall sanctity, let thy Church be covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold, decked and assisted with exteriour ad∣vantages, as may best promote thy honour and the services of Religion. Let all the Princes and lands of the earth, stretch their hands out unto thee, O God, and confesse thy mightinesse and thy ho∣nour; that the Gospell going forth into all lands, peace and all thy blessings may follow it, and

thy praise be multiplyed from generation to ge∣neration, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
