Præcatio

Elizabeth that braunch of perfect blisse
We call our queene for whom we all must pray
raigne golden showers of peace vppon this land
[that she in peace may weare the English crowne]
and lett thy Angells lead her vp and downe
that she in peace may weare the English crowne
this makes me still to pray vppon my knee
and curst be he that praies not after me
the lord preserve the howse of Salusburye

Amen

Ro Chester
