Almighty, and most merciful Lord, the only life and health, of all them that trust in thee, which workest salvation in thy elect, aswell by sickness as other wise, and therefore bringest them very low, and yet restorest to health again: look down with thy pitiful Eyes upon thy servant Edward our King, and upon this Realm of England, professing thy word & holy name, and as thou diddest most favourably deliver King Ezechias from extreme sickness, and prolongedst his life for the safeguard of thy people the Israelites, & defendedst them and the City from the Tyranny of the Assyryans: so we most entirely appeal to thy great mercies, graciously to restore the health and strength again of thy seru●●●t Edward our Sovereign Lord, that as tho● haste begun by him the rooting out of Error, Idolatry & Superstition, and the planting of true Religion, true worshipping & verity: so it may please thy merciful goodness, long to preserve him for the confirmation & establishment of the same, and also for the saulfgarde and defence of this Realm, from all outward & inward Enemies, for the glory of thy holy name. Look not herein (O Lord) upon our deserts, which for abusing thy word, and sinfulness, deserve great punishments, but upon thy plentiful mercies, which rejoicest to heal the greatest miseries. Be no less favourable (O Lord) at this present, to Edward our king, restoring thy true religion: then in times passed to Ezechias reforming thy Religion. Be no less merciful to England thy Church now: then in those days to jury thy Church than. But as thy heavenvly grace hath been more revealed in these days by the coming of thy dear Son our Saviour and master christ, and preaching of the Gospel: so it may please thy fatherly love and goodness, to bestow upon us more abundance of the same favourable grace and mercy, according to thy will in this our humble request. Do this O most merciful Father for thy own names sake, and for the merits and death of thy Son our only mediator and redeemer jesus Christ.  
Amen.
