LOrde God deliuer me oute of this miserable & wretched lyfe , & take me among thy chosen : howebeit not my wyll , but thy wyll be done . Lorde I commit my spirit to thee . Oh lorde thou knowest howe happy it weare for me to be with thee : yet for thy chosens sake send me life and helth , that I may truely serue thee . Oh my Lorde God blesse thy people , and saue thyne enheritaunce . Oh Lorde God , saue thy chosen people of Englande . Oh my Lorde God defende this Realme from papistrye , and mayntayne thy true religion , that I and my people may prayse thy holy name .
