let thy strenghe, O Lord, susteyne our weaknes, that we beinge de-
fended with the force of thy grace, may be savely preserved against
all assaultes of Satan, who goeth abowte continually like a roaringe
lyon, sekinge to devoure us. Encrease our faith, O mercifull
Father, that we do not swarve at any tyme from thy heavenly
worde, but augment in us hope and love, with a carefull kepinge
of all thy commaundementes, that no hardnes of harte, no
hypocrisie, no concupiscence of the eyes, nor intysementes of the
worlde, do drawe us away frome thy obedience. And seinge
we lyve nowe in these moste perillous tymes, let thy Fatherly
providence defende us against the violence of all our enemies,
