damnable darkness, as my bother here doth say, He hath delivered, this realm of England godly bringing his subjects, into the true path way, Of their souls safeguard, if they now follow it wisely. And left them he hath, the same way still to fortify, His noble son Edward, such a kings of god elect As questyonles will, perform it in effect. Pray all to the lord, for the long continuance, Of his grace's life, in this worlds habitation. And that of his nobles, he have true maintenance, In the principles, of this most worthy foundation. That he may to Christ, bring us from desolation. Pray for queen Bateryne, & the noble lord protector With the whole counsel, that God be their director, BEnedictus dominus, Deus Israel, Which hath overthrown, the mighty Idol Bel, The false god of Rome, by power of the Gospel, And hath prepared, from the deep lake of hell, Redemptionem plebis sue. Et erexit cornu, of mercy health and grace, That cruel tyrant, now clearly to deface, Whose bloody kingdom, demynysheth apace, By the word of God, which lately hath take place. In domo david pueri sui, Sicut locutus est, the lord celestial, That Romish Antichrist, is like to have a fall, With his whole table, of sects diabolical, And now the number, will flourish over all, Prophetarum eius. Salutem exinimicis, now we may daily hear, The enemies of Christ with him doth witness bear Saul is become a paule, and preacheth every where, Now may we receive, most heavenly wholesome gear De manu eorum qui derunt nos. Ad faciendam, misericordiam, The son of our God, from his high glory came, To redeem the sin. of the children of Adam, And to remember, to faithful Abraham, Testamenti sui sancti. jusiurandum, which God hath made afore, Unto our fathers, he will keep evermore, Promesed he hath, if we regard his lore, forsaking the pope, with his damnable store, Daturum se nobis. Vt sine timore, from Romish tyrants free, The lord grant us grace, that we may speakers be, Of his holy word, and therein to agree, That in the Gospel, and christian liberty, Seruiamus illi. In sanctitate, and pureness of life, let us now travail, both maiden man and wife, All rightwise doings, in us be ever rife, That we persever, without debate or strife, Omnibus diebus nostris. To puer propheta, elected of the lord, King Edward the sixth, to have God's law restored, Folowest Iosias, thereof to take record, In all thy doings, and in God's holy word, Parare vias eius. Ad dandam scientiam, for men's health & safeguard Christ's holy Gospel, by these freely heard, Wherein doth consist, their life and full reward, With preservation, from dangerous icoparde, Peccatorum eorum. Per viscera, misericordiae, Christ our dear master, us daily oversee, Lest we here perish, in our myquyte. Our mediator, continually is he, Oriens exalto. Illuminare, sweet lord we the desire, To men in darkness, and in the popish mire, let not his baggage, thy faithful servants tire, But us deliver, from them and from hell fire. In viam pacis.
