O Almighty and most Merciful Father, who by thy great Power and Wisdom hast created all things, and by thine inestimable Love, and most bountiful Goodness dost sustain and provide for the same; especially for Man, whom thou hast made after thine own Similitude; and for his good haste not only made all other Creatures, but also hast ordained and commanded that one man should be helpful to another: according to which thy Providence thou hast stirred up the mind of HENRY CHICHLEY sometime Archbishop of Canterbury, for the relief of the distressed and increase of learning and Godliness, to Found this our College endowed with liberal Maintenance for thy Servants; We yield Thee all humble and hearty thanks, for this thine inestimable Bounty and Fatherly goodness most humbly beseeching Thee, that the remembrance of these thy benefits may never slip out of our minds; but that we may daily grow more and more in thankfulness towards Thee, and rightly use these blessings which Thou hast bestowed upon us, by the hand of thy Servant, both to thy honour and glory, and the profit of the Church and Commonwealth wherein Thou hast placed us. ●rant this, O dear Father, for the love of thine only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; to whom with Thee, and the Holy ●host, be all honour and praise, now and for evermore. Amen. For Benefactors. MOst bountiful Lord God, who of thine especia●● goodness hast ordained Ma●● not only to receive, but dispen●● thy Benefits; We further give ●hee praise and thanks, for all ●●her thy worthy Inst●●uments, ●y whose hands thou ●ast been pleased to be good unto us, Such as were Reginald Poo●● Archbishop of Canterbury; Sir William Peter; Robert Honywood, Doctor of Laws; Richard Bartlet, Doctor of Physic; Thomas Gwynne, Doctor of Laws; Mr. E●ward Napper, together with all other our bounteous Benefactors, whose Names and Mem●rys we shall ever honour and record, in Testimony of our Thankfulness, for these and every other of thy daily Blessings, by thy Providence thus continued and multiplied unto us. And now hereunto grant, O gracious Father, that neither our abuse of these thy Favours cause thee to blast what we have received, nor our unthankfulness provoke thee, to shut up the hearts of future Successions from us. But let this Place, which Thou hast founded and endowed for thine own ●lory, be still the fruitful Mother of more happy Children; who both by their Knowledge may confirm the People's Faith, and by their Lives inflame their Charity. Be it so, for his sake, whose unspeakable Bounty gave us himself, even Jesus Christ, thy Son our Saviour; to whom with Thee, and the Holy Spirit, be ascribed all Honour and ●lory, throughout all, ●enerations for evermore. Amen.
