The booke of common prayer, and administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the Church of England.

Saluum me fac. Psal. xij.

HElpe me Lord, * 1.1 for there is not one godly man left: for the faithful are minished from among the children of men.

They talke of vanitie euery one with his neighbour: they doe but flatter with their lips, and dissem∣ble with their double heart.

The Lord shalt root out all de∣ceitfull lippes: and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

Which haue said, with our tongue we will preuaile: wee are they that ought to speake, who is Lord ouer vs?

Now for the comfortlesse troubles sake of the needy: and because of the deepe sighing of the poore.

I will vp (sayth the Lord:) and will helpe euery one from him that swelleth against him, and will set them at rest.

The words of the Lord are pure words: euen as the siluer which from the earth is tried, & purified seuen times in y^e fire.

Thou shalt keepe them, O Lord: thou shalt preserue him from this generation for euer.

The vngodly walke on euery side: when they are exalted, the children of men are put to rebuke.
