For this thy sons sake, by whom I am bold to come unto thee, which appeareth now in thy sight, making continual intercession for us, have mercy upon me (O thou mighty god) and forgive me all my sins which I have un righteously committed against thee in thought word, or deed.

Therefore I come unto the O Lord my God, desiring thee for Christ'S sake to renew in me a right spirit, that I may receive strength and ableness to do thy will, and to stand against all the crafty assaults of the devil, that they may have no place in me, but that the old man, which I bear about in my body may be crucified, & daily die in me, that the lusts of sin may utterly be destroyed, that I may evermore be renewed in the spirit of my mind, that the life of christ may always appear in me.

Remove from me vanities and lies, take fro me the lusts of the body. Let not the desires of uncleanness take hold upon me, & give me not over unto an unshamefast and obstinate mind: but hold me always under thy nurture and correction.

Therefore (O Lord) I come unto thee, requiring mercy in thy sight, and the assistance of thy grace, that I may be strengthened with might in the inward man, and be armed with thy holy armour, which is the breast plate of righteousness, the shield of faith the hope of salvation for an helmet, and the sword of the spirit which is thy holy word, that I may stand perfect in all that is thy will, and be found worthy (through christ) to receive a crown of life, which thou hast promised to all them that love thee in pureness of mind. O Lord, plant in me true obedience to thy holy law that the cares of this world choke not thy word in me. Keep me also from the deceitfulness of riches, and all uncleanly desires, that all virtues may be planted in me. Good Lord give me grace to walk before thee all the days of this my pilgremag with a good conscience and pure mind that when thou shalt appear to reward every man according to his deeds, I may rejoice and not be made ashamed of thee at thy coming.

O let all worldly things be vile unto me for thee. Let me not be merry with the joy that is without thee, & let me desire nothing beside the. Make me to lift my heart oftentimes to the. And if I chance to fall or slip, make me to think on the and be sorry with a stedefaste purpose of amendment, O Lord I give over myself into thy holy hands, desiring the for Christ'S sake, that I may remain under thy mighty protection, and strong defence of thy power, and that thy holy angel may always pitch his tent round about me, and keep me in all my ways.

O lord, who shallbe able to quench it, & we for our parts, O lord, do confess that we be worthy of all the plagues that thou hast devised agaist us, oh most mighty god, yet nevertheless, we beseech the most merciful father unworthy to be called thy children, look not upon our deserts, or worthiness, but upon thy favourable mercy, which thou hadst in the old time upon the children of Israel, if they repented unto thee, oh lord thou didst preserve them and kept them from captivity of all other nations, & didst ever proved them a faithful governor or ruler. And furthermore most merciful father although they were destroyed for their wickedness, & left but a small people, yet nevertheless, when they turned unfeignedly to thee, thou O lord ever gavest them the victory over all their enemies, so that they might devil as brethren together, peaceably in their- own land, which thou gavest them. Thou art the same lord, & thy mercy endureth for ever, and now O lord we that seek to do thy will, being but a small people, do beseech thee of thy great mercy, for jesus Christ's sake our only peace maker to turn away thy great wrath; and terrible indignation, which we have deserved in this realm of England, and show thy compassion upon us good Lord, as thou diddest upon the children of Israel in the old time, though not for our sakes O Lord which have deserved thy wrath, but for thy most mighty & glorious names sake, O lord: for if thou shouldst destroy us, and bring us to desolation, as we have deserved, them should thy most mighty name, and thy holy word be evil spoken of through us in all the world Wherefore we beseech the most merciful father, to nurture and correct us, not as we have deserved, but with thy favourable mercy, not in thy fury, but with thy fatherly pity and deliver us not over into the hands of our enemies, neither take not thy holy word from us, O Lord, and here we confess unto thee, O lord all our wickedness, the which are more in numbered then the hears of our head and they press us so down, O Lord, that our hearts almost faileth us, & we dare scarcely presume unto the.  
Yet nevertheless, through CHRIST which is our righteousness, and hath pacified thy wrath we are bold to come unto thee, O lord being sorry for our faults, even from our very hearts, desiring thee for his death and passions sake, which is our only mediator and redeemer: to forgive us all our sins: that ever we have committed either in thought, word or deed, & now, O lord, we give over ourselves into thy holy hands, and with all our hearts do desire to do whatsoever thou wouldst have us to do, beseeching thee, O lord to assist us with the grace of thy holy spirit, that we hence forth may live according to thy most godly and blessed will, & that we may labour and study to serve the in newness of life, & that we may willingly take up the cross and follow thy steps, O lord Chryst all the days of our life. And furthermore, O Lord, we beseech thee to give us grace to be thankful in our conversation, and living, for all the great benefits that we have received at thy hand, so that we may enjoy them to thy glori, and our comfort. first, we thank thee, O Lord of thy great mercy and recreation. Secondli, we thank thee, O lord, that when we were fallen into destruction, through our consenting to the subtlety of the enemy, thou of thy great mercy dyddeste by jesus christ raise us up again.

Furthermore we thank thee, O Lord for Mary our Queen, which thou hast given us to be our ruler & governor under thee, whom thou hast delivered us by thy wisdom through thy great power & mighty arm, from the hands of all her enemies, we beseech thee, O Lord, to give her wisdom from thy holy heavens, & from the throne of thy majesty, that she may rule all that thou hast made her governor of, according to thy most holy & blessed will, oh lord & that she may labour & desire to follow all things that are written in thy holy law, all the days of her life, & that she may through thee, O Lord, be established in her kingdom, & overcome all her enemies & ours, as these most godly and virtuous women. Deborah and judith did, who by their godly conversation with prayer and obedience through thee O Lord overcame the enemies of the children of Israel in the old time.

¶ A prayer necessary to be said at all times.  
O Bountiful jesus, O sweet Saviour O christ the son of God, have pity upon me mercifully hear me and despise not my prayers. Thou hast created me of nothing, thou hast redeemed me from the bondage of sin, death, and hell neither with gold nor silver, but with thy moosle precious body once offered upon the cross, and thine own blood shed once for all for my ransom, therefore cast me not away, whom thou by thy great wisdom hast made, despise me not whom thou haste redeemed with such a precious treasure. Nor let my wickedness destroy that, which thy goodness hath builded. Now whiles I live, O jesus have mercy on me, for if I die out of thy favour, it will be to late afterward to call for thy mercy, whiles I have time to repent, look upon me with thy merciful eyes, as thou didst vouchsafe to look upon Peter thine Apostle, that I may bewail my sinful life and obtain thy favour, and die therein. I reknowledge the if thou shouldest deal with me according to very justice, I have deserved everlasting deeathe.  
Therefore I appeal to thy high throne of mercy, trusting to obtain God's favour, not for my merits, but for thy merits, oh jesus, who hast given thyself an acceptable sacrifice to thy father, to pease his wrath, and to bring all sinners truly repenting and amending their evil life into his favour again. Accept me O Lord among the number of them that shallbe saved, forgive my sins, give me grace to lead a godly & innocent life, grant me thy heavenly wisdom, inspire my heart with faith, hope, and charity give me grace to be humble in prosperity, patient in adversity, obedient to my rulers, faithful unto them that trust me dealing truly with all men, to live chastely in wedlock, to abhor adultery, fornication, and all uncleanness, to do good after my power unto all men, to hurt no man that thy name may be glorified in me, during this present life, & that I afterward may obtain everlasting life thorough thy mercy and the merits of thy passion. Amen.

Keep me lord, from the sleyghtie invasion of the old wily serpent.
