[Praier, if it be compleat, is of pow'r]
Praier, if it be compleat, is of pow'r
To ouer-rule almightie Pow'r and Grace:
For, It can their Omnipotence procure
To doe what not? (if good) in any Case.
To ouer-rule almightie Pow'r and Grace:
For, It can their Omnipotence procure
To doe what not? (if good) in any Case.
But as Queene Hester came before her King,
Two Maids attending, to support her port,
Leaning on one, the other carying
Her Princely Traine, in most maiesticke sort.

Leaning on one, the other carying
Her Princely Traine, in most maiesticke sort.
So, Praier must attended be with Two,
Fasting, and Almesdeeds, commming to her King;
Then, what Shee will haue done, that will He doe;
Though Shee His Kingdome craue, or any Thing:
But when Shee comes not thus, the Act of Sinne
Is readier than Temptation to begin!
