Defend us from our foes and Thine.
V. Thou shalt open my lippes, O Lord.
R. And my mouth shall shew forth Thy prayse.
V. O God, make speed to saue me.5
R. O Lord, make hast to help me.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the H[oly] Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and euer10
shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Hymn.
The wakefull Matines hast to sing
The unknown sorrows of our King:
The Father's Word and Wisdom, made
Man for man, by man's betraid;15
The World's price sett to sale, and by the bold
Merchants of Death and Sin, is bought and sold:
Of His best freinds (yea of Himself) forsaken;
By His worst foes (because He would) beseig'd and taken.
