Amen.

IV.

GOd who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that for mans frailnesse; we cannot alwayes stand uprightly. Grant to us the health of body and soul; that all those things which we suffer for sin, by thy help we may well passe and overcome, through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Grant this Heavenly Father for Jesus Christ his sake our Lord,

Amen.

IX.

LOrd we beseech thee, let thy continual pitty cleanse and defend thy congregation, and because it cannot continue in safety without thy succour, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodnesse, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
