Shall I despair of your mercy, O God? Far be that from me. I am your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus. Give me grace, therefore, to await your leisure, and patiently to bear what you require. Most assuredly I know that you will deliver me when it pleases you, for I do not doubt or mistrust you. You know what is good for me better than I do. Hear me, O merciful Father! for the sake of your son, whom you willed to be a sacrifice for my sins; to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit be all honor and glory.
Lady Jane Grey (1537–1554)
