More over, O Lord, we besech thee that thou wouldest strengthen
us with thine Holy Sprite, that we may faithfully travel in our state
and vocation without fraude or deceit : and that we may indevour
our selves to followe thine holy ordinance, rather then to seke to
satisfie our griedie affections or desire to gaine. And if it please
thee, O Lord, to prosper our labour, give us a mynde also to help
them that have nede, according to that abilitie that thou of thy
mercy shalt give us, and knowing that all good things come of thee,
graunt that we may humble our selves to our neighbours, and not
by any meanes lyfte our selves up above them which have not received
so liberal a portion, as of thvniercv thou hast given unto us.
