to have received them of thyne onely goodnes, even so we beseche
thee, for thy deare Sonne Jesus Christs sake, to graunt us alwayes
thyne Holie Sprit, whereby we may continually growe in thankfulnes
towardes thee, to be led into all traeth, and comforted in all
our adversities. O Lord, strengthen our faith : kindle it more in
fei-ventnes, and love towardes thee, and our neighbours for thy sake.
Suffer us not, moste deare Father, to receive thy worde any more
in vaine, but grant us alwayes the assistance of thy grace and Holie
Sprite, that in heart, worde, and dede, we may sanctifie and do
worship to thy Name.
Helpe to amplifie and increase thy Kingdome, that whatsoever
thou sendest, we may be heartly wel content with thy good pleasure
and will.
