Let him be under thy protection and governance, O heavenly
Father ; and although he be sicke, yet thou canst heale him ; he
is cast downe, but thou canst lift him up ; he is sore troubled,
but thou canst send redresse ; he is weak, thou canst send strength ;
he acknowledgeth his uncleannes, his spots, his filthines, and
iniquities, but thou canst wash him and make him cleane : he is
wounded, but thou canst minister most sovereigne salves ; he
is fearful and trembling, but thou canst give him good courage
and boldnes : To be short, he is, as it were utterly lost, and as a
strayed shepe ; but thou canst cal him home to thee againe.
