Conclusion of the Sixteenth Century (Continued)
We are also most solemnly bound to pray to the Most High for them, that He will constantly keep them in this purpose, and further give them wisdom and understanding, so to rule their country and people that all may work toward and promote the peace of the subjects and the honor of God; that He may also give them such believing hearts that they may truly know what God has set them here for, and, finally, walk before Him in such a God-fearing manner, that at the last day (when the crucified Jesus Christ will appear with His mighty angels, in the clouds of heaven, as an almighty Potentate, Victor and glorious King, to execute vengeance upon all those who have not known God, and have not obeyed the Gospel) they may also be glorified with all God's saints, and appear with the elect believers in the resurrection and the revelation of the heavenly glory, to be clothed with the same, by the power of Christ, and with Him to inherit the imperishable glory in perfection, and possess it forever and ever, without end. Amen.
