O Lord our God , most gracious & most glorious , which after long patience of the former times of ignorance , in these last daies by the hande of thy faithfull seruants , the Magistrates & Ministers in diuers Countries , hast remooued the vineyarde of thy Church out of that spirituall Egipt , the kingdome of Antechrist , and hast planted it with most precious Vines , euen with sundry great & famous Churches in the Gospell of thy Sonne , which thou hast caused to take roote and to fill the earth , to spread theyr boughes at length , & theyr branches a farre off . Thou O Lord knowest , how since the very first beginning of this thy great worke , the wilde Boares of Rome , with other like mightie beasts of that fielde , haue by all meanes endeuoured to breake through the bounds , and to pull vppe the fences which with thine owne right hand thou haddest made for them : not onely to lay open their grapes , for all mens plucking , but also by destroying the Kéepers , vtterly to roote and turne vp thy whole vineyard . Specially at thys time thou séeest O Lord , how greatly thy enemies doo stirre , and how those that hate thée and thy Church , doo beare theyr heades aloft . For the Pope , and popish states of Italie , with Phillip of Spaine , the Duke of Parma , Sauoy , and Loraine , and the trayterous Leagors of Fraunce , haue all bended and confederate themselues against thy people , plotting & counsayling together against thy secrete ones , how eyther by power or by trecherie they may destroy them , that there be no more a Church : and that from hencefoorth , the name of Protestants be not spoken of vpon earth . But thou O Lord God of our saluation , which sauest all those that retyre themselues vnder thy right hand , from such as rise vp against them : euen thou O God , our strength for thy promises , for thy truth , and thy sonne Christ Iesus sake , who by hys blood hath stablished a holy and euerlasting league betweéene thee and thy people , as alwaies hetherto , so now much rather , helpe wée beséech thée the whole body of thy Church generally , and euery more special societie or member thereof : most specially by name , embrace we pray thée with thy principall defence , thy most noble Churches , thys of Englande and the other of France and in them thy two beloued seruaunts , chiefe heads and Gouernours of the same , Elizabeth our gracious Queene , and Henrie the most Christian King . As for theyr enemies , O Lorde , and the enemies of thy elect people , fill theyr faces with shame , dishonour , and rebuke , dooing vnto them as thou diddest of old time to the aduersaries of thy people Israell , euen to Pharao , Iabin , Sisera and Senacherib : and of late to the Duke of Guise and Maine in Fraunce , and the Spanish inuaders of our Land in the great déepe . So cast out all theyr counsailes O God , and cause them to perrish and be ouerthrowne : but let those that loue thée , be as the Sunne in the increase of his strength , to the vtter abashment and astonishment of the wicked , to their occasionable enquirie after thy trueth , to the publique acknowledgement of thy iustice and power in the earth . And lastly to the stablishment of the thankfulnesse of the iust & the enlargement of thy praise in the mouthes of all thy Saints , through Iesus Christ our Lorde . To whom with thée the Father and the holy Ghost , one true eternall and euer liuing God , be all honour , praise , power & dominion , now and for euer . Amen .
