But deliver us from evil.
From sin and shame, from the malice
and fraud of the Devil, and from the
falseness and greediness of men, from all
thy wrath, and from all our impurities,
good Lord deliver thy Servants.
Do not reserve any thing of thy wrath
in store for us; but let our sins be par∣doned
so fully, that thou maiest not
punish our inventions. And yet if thou
wilt not be intreated, but that it be ne∣cessary
that we suffer, thy will be done:
Smite us here with a Father's rod, that
thou maiest spare us hereafter: let the
sad accidents of our life be for good to
us, not for evil; for our amendment,
not to exasperate or weary us, not
to harden or confound us: and what
evil soever it be that shall happen, let us
not sin against thee. For ever deliver us
from that evil, and for ever deliver us
from the power of the evil one, the great
enemy of mankind; and never let our
portion be in that Region of Darkness in
that everlasting burning which thou hast
prepared for the Devil and his Angels for
ever.
