Omnipotens and vndeuided trinitie
Sempiterne deus al honour be to thee,
Qui facis that by reason can not be thought,
Mirabilia magna for vs thou hast wrought,
Solus of these workes thou arte worker we se
Pretende so thy grace now of thy benignitie,
Super famulos tuos (for great is the nede)


Pontifices to excite therby thy flocke well to fede
et super cunctas persons of all degrees,
congregationes hauing as all men sees
illis commissas with errour spotted sore
spiritum gratiæ lord sende them all therfore
salutaris heauenly to haue the possession
et vt thou wilt kepe thē frō thy lawes trāgression
in veritate of fayth also and errours to destroye,
tibi complacient then and after heauen enioye,
perpetuum eis thy glory shine shall
rorem of thy grace, if thou on them let fall,
benedictionis in heauen that we maye be assurde,
infunde out thy grace, which for vs is procurde,
per Christum of his great benignitie,
dominum nostrū therfore euer praised mought be.
Amen.
