Almightie God and most mercifull Father, we do not present our
selves here before thy Majestie trusting in our owne merites or
worthynes, but in thy manifold mercies, which hast promised to
heare our Prayers, and graunt our requestes which we shall make
to thee in the name of thy beloved Sonne Jesus Christ our Lord :
who hath also commaunded us to assemble our selves together in
his name, with ful assurance that he \vyll not onely be amongst
us, but also be our mediator and advocate towards thy Majestie,
that we may obteyne all thinges which shall seme expedient
to thy blessed wyll for our necessities. Therfore we beseche
thee, most mercifull Father, to toume thy lovynge contenance
towardes us, and impute not unto us our manyfold synnes
