god_n his_o ultimate_a end_n and_o his_o trust_n and_o affiance_n in_o god_n and_o not_o in_o man_n the_o foundation_n of_o all_o he_o do_v and_o then_o we_o pray_v for_o temporal_a blessing_n namely_o that_o god_n will_v be_v his_o defender_n and_o keeper_n defend_z and_z keep_v he_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o defend_v and_o keep_v we_o and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o give_v he_o the_o victory_n over_o all_o his_o enemy_n whether_o homebred_a or_o foreign_a and_o then_o as_o be_v most_o natural_a we_o pray_v for_o the_o whole_a royal_a family_n desire_v that_o they_o may_v prosper_v and_o be_v multiply_v and_o sure_o this_o be_v far_o more_o explicit_a and_o particular_a than_o that_o of_o the_o so_o often_o cite_v primer_n ut_fw-la regi_fw-la nostro_fw-la &_o principibus_fw-la nostris_fw-la pacem_fw-la &_o veram_fw-la concordiam_fw-la atque_fw-la victoriam_fw-la donare_fw-la digneris_fw-la after_o this_o we_o pray_v for_o all_o bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n the_o three_o order_n of_o clergy_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o god_n will_v enlighten_v they_o with_o true_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o his_o word_n and_o that_o both_o by_o their_o preach_a and_o live_v they_o may_v set_v it_o forth_o and_o show_v it_o according_o and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o instruction_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o timothy_n 4.16_o 1_o tim._n 4.16_o take_v heed_n unto_o thyself_o and_o to_o thy_o doctrine_n that_o they_o may_v be_v as_o john_n baptist_n be_v 5.35_o john_n 5.35_o a_o burn_a and_o a_o shine_a light_n teach_v as_o well_o by_o their_o example_n as_o by_o their_o instruction_n then_o what_o be_v not_o in_o that_o primer_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o endue_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n and_o all_o the_o nobility_n with_o grace_n wisdom_n and_o understanding_n to_o bless_v and_o keep_v the_o magistrate_n give_v they_o grace_n to_o execute_v justice_n and_o to_o maintain_v truth_n which_o in_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o militant_a church_n be_v thus_o express_v grant_v unto_o his_o whole_a council_n and_o to_o all_o that_o be_v put_v in_o authority_n under_o he_o that_o they_o may_v true_o and_o indifferent_o minister_v justice_n to_o the_o punishment_n of_o wickedness_n and_o vice_n and_o to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o thy_o true_a religion_n and_o virtue_n and_o then_o follow_v several_a prayer_n which_o be_v not_o in_o that_o primer_n which_o for_o brevity_n sake_n and_o because_o they_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v i_o will_v pass_v over_o and_o take_v more_o special_a notice_n of_o those_o that_o be_v prayer_n of_o charity_n that_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o bring_v into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n all_o such_o as_o have_v err_v and_o be_v deceive_v humanum_fw-la est_fw-la errare_fw-la humanius_fw-la condonare_fw-la though_o we_o hope_v and_o think_v we_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o none_o have_v yet_o convince_v we_o to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o as_o before_o we_o pretend_v not_o to_o be_v infallible_a and_o therefore_o as_o be_v liable_a to_o error_n ourselves_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o erroneous_a that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o then_o for_o our_o moral_n we_o be_v as_o prone_a to_o error_n of_o life_n as_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o pray_v that_o they_o that_o stand_v may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o other_o that_o be_v waver_v and_o totter_v may_v be_v help_v and_o comfort_v and_o keep_v from_o fall_v and_o they_o that_o be_v already_o fall_v may_v be_v raise_v up_o and_o because_o the_o devil_n that_o occasion_v the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n lie_v like_o a_o serpent_n in_o our_o way_n and_o a_o adder_n in_o our_o path_n to_o bite_v and_o trip_v up_o our_o heel_n we_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v tread_v he_o under_o our_o foot_n according_a to_o the_o assurance_n st._n paul_n give_v we_o in_o those_o very_a word_n and_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n shall_v bruise_v satan_n under_o your_o foot_n short_o and_o the_o first_o gospel_n 16.20_o rom._n 16.20_o it_o shall_v bruise_v thy_o head_n 3.15_o gen._n 3.15_o and_o thou_o shall_v bruise_v his_o heel_n then_o we_o come_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o danger_n necessity_n and_o tribulation_n and_o not_o content_a with_o so_o general_a a_o supplication_n we_o reckon_v up_o in_o eight_o or_o
