WE are bounde (O moste mightye God) for thy singuler deserts ex∣tended towards vs, to prayse thée continually, with minde, heart, & all our whole power, rendring condigne thanks vnto thy diuine maiesty, vnlesse we will like vngratefull persons, forget all those thinges which thou hast hitherto be∣stowed vpō vs. First thou hast freely offred vs forgiuenesse of sinnes, by Christ, and re∣generation throughe his precious bloud: herevnto is added doctrine, sacraments, bo∣dily life, and whatsoeuer else apperteyneth to the preseruation both of the outwarde and inwarde man. But wee heartily ac∣knowledge that we haue notwithstanding moste filthily abused all these thy excellent benefites, for we haue done nothing fayth∣fully that aunswereth fully to our calling. We nowe therefore do humbly beséech thée to pardon our gréeuous offences and lewd behauiour, amending our corrupt maners and the dishonest life which we haue led hi∣therto. Deale not with vs after our sinnes, neyther reward vs according to our iniqui∣ties. Wilt thou (seing that singuler louing kindnesse and mercie preuayleth with thee)

bée alwayes reuengeable? or correct and chastice vs in thy furie? Remember that thou art our father, and therefore earnestly do we desire thee to shewe forth a fatherly affection towards such as both honour and worship thée. It is not vnbeknowne to thy diuine Maiestie that we are dust, and (vn∣lesse thou be present with vs) the vaynest things that euer were made: we are more lither then grasse and flowers. Regard not therefore our lewde and wicked factes, but way rather the league made betwixt thée and vs, and deliuer thy faythfull people from the hands of thy cursed and most mis∣chieuous enimies, so that we may magnifie thy wonderous workes, with the glorious Aungels, and all holy men for euermore, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
