O Lord our God, most gracious & most glorious, which after long patience of the former times of ignorance, in these last days by the hand of thy faithful servants, the Magistrates & Ministers in divers Countries, hast removed the vinyeard of thy Church out of that spiritual Egypt, the kingdom of Antichrist, and hast planted it with most precious Vines, even with sundry great & famous Churches in the Gospel of thy Son, which thou hast caused to take root and to fill the earth, to spread their boughs at length, & their branches a far off. Thou O Lord knowest, how since the very first beginning of this thy great work, the wild Boars of Rome, with other like mighty beasts of that field, have by all means endeavoured to break through the bounds, and to pull up the fences which with thine own right hand thou hadst made for them: not only to lay open their grapes, for all men's plucking, but also by destroying the Keepers, utterly to root and turn up thy whole vineyard. Specially at this time thou seest O Lord, how greatly thy enemies do stir, and how those that hate thee and thy Church, do bear their heads aloft. For the Pope, and popish states of Italy, with Philip of Spain, the Duke of Parma, Savoy, and Lorraine, and the traitorous Leagors of France, have all bended and confederate themselves against thy people, plotting & counseling together against thy secret ones, how either by power or by treachery they may destroy them, that there be no more a Church: and that from henceforth, the name of Protestants be not spoken of upon earth. But thou O Lord God of our salvation, which savest all those that retire themselves under thy right hand, from such as rise up against them: even thou O God, our strength for thy promises, for thy truth, and thy son Christ jesus sake, who by his blood hath established a holy and everlasting league between thee and thy people, as always hitherto, so now much rather, help we beseech thee the whole body of thy Church generally, and every more special society or member thereof: most specially by name, embrace we pray thee with thy principal defence, thy most noble Churches, this of England and the other of France and in them thy two beloved servants, chief heads and Governors of the same, Elizabeth our gracious Queen, and Henry the most Christian King. As for their enemies, O Lord, and the enemies of thy elect people, fill their faces with shame, dishonour, and rebuke, doing unto them as thou didst of old time to the adversaries of thy people Israel, even to Pharaoh, jabin, Sisera and Senacherib: and of late to the Duke of Guise and Maine in France, and the Spanish invaders of our Land in the great deep. So cast out all their counsels O God, and cause them to perish and be overthrown: but let those that love thee, be as the Sun in the increase of his strength, to the utter abashment and astonishment of the wicked, to their occasionable inquiry after thy truth, to the public acknowledgement of thy justice and power in the earth. And lastly to the establishment of the thankfulness of the just & the enlargement of thy praise in the mouths of all thy Saints, through jesus Christ our Lord. To whom with thee the Father and the holy Ghost, one true eternal and ever living God, be all honour, praise, power & dominion, now and for ever. Amen.
