OH Almighty God and heavenly Father, which by thy great wisdom and power, hast created and made heaven and earth, the Sea, and all things contained therein, and hast made man thy most principal and excellent creature, and given him wisdom to rule and govern all other Creatures, with commandment to serve and honour thee, and to do such works as are most acceptable to thy godly will. And of thine abundant grace hast endued thy servant, a good brother of our Company with that pitiful mind to consider his poor and needy brethren, and to be the donor of this blessed Charity, whereby both I, and others poor and needy aged, are daily relieved. And as I do acknowledge the same to proceed of thy grace, so I give thee most high and hearty thanks therefore, and with my whole heart, I humbly beseech thee, to bless the true Catholic Church here in Earth, and in it this Church of England, and long to preserve our noble Queen, with her honourable Counsel, and to prosper our Company, the Marchanttaylors in general, and every particular member of the same, and to assist them with thy continual favour, to show more such deeds of mercy and pity, for relief of the poor distressed, for the which thou hast promised, of thy mercy special reward, by the mouth of jesus Christ our Saviour. And likewise I beseech thee. Oh Lord to keep and preserve this noble City of London, and to prosper it with thy blessings of health, and wealth, under our most godly and peaceable Prince, and to give unto all the Companies, and members of the same, thy grace to show themselves always thankful, in doing such works as are best pleasing to thy divine Majesty. Grant this Oh Father, for jesus Christ thy dear sons sake, to whom with the holy Ghost the Comforter, three persons in one eternal godhead, be all hononr, dominion, power, and glory, both now and for evermore. Amen.
