[5]

  9. "GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God: that the devout prayers of blessed David, the Confessor and Bishop, may in such wise succour and defend us, that we which on this day observe his festival, may follow his constancy in the defence of thy true religion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen." [25]
