to this thy poore creature in such extremitie, taking from him all
trembling and dreadful feare, and to give him a stoute courage in
the middes of all his present adversiteis.
And forasmuche as all things, O heavenly Father, be knowen
unto thee, and thou canst, according to thy good pleasure, minister
unto him all suche things as shal be necessarie and expedient ; let
it.please thee, O Lord, so to satisfie him by thy grace, as may seme
most mete unto thy Divine Majestie.
Receive him, Lord, into thy protection, for he hath his recourse
and accesse to thee alone ; and make him constant and hrme in thy
commandements and promises : and also pardon all his sinnes, both
secret and those which are manifest ; by the which he hath moste
grievously provoked thy wrath and severe judgements against him ; so
as in place of death (the which both heand all wehavejustlymerited).
