O let not the unthankfull importunities, and tumultuary violence of some mens Immoderat demands, ever betray Me to that degenerous and unmanly slavery, which should make Me strengthen them by My consent in those things which I think in My conscience to be against thy glory, the good of My subjects, and the discharge of My own duty to Reason and Justice.
Make me willing to suffer the greatest indignities and injuries they press upon Me, rather then commit the least sin against My Conscience.
Let the just Liberties of My people be (as well they may) preserved in fair and equall waies, without the slavery of My soul.
Thou that hast invested Me by thy favours, in the power of a Christian King, suffer Me not to subject My Reason to other mens passions, and designes, which to Me seem unreasonable, unjust and irreligious: So shall I serve thee in the truth and uprightness of My heart, though I cannot satisfie these men.
Though I be driven from among them, yet give Me grace to walk, alwaies uprightly before thee.
Lead Me in the way of Truth and Justice, for these, I know, will bring Me at last to peace and happiness with thee; though for these I have much trouble among men.
This I beg of thee for my Saviours sake.
