Thanksgiving for the Founder

I Give Thee Humble and Hearty thanks, O most merciful Father, for our Founder William of Wickham, and all other our Benefactors, by whose benefits, we are in this Colledge brought up, to Godliness and good Learning, and I beseech Thee to give us grace, so to use these Thy blessings, to the Glory of Thy Name, that we may become profitable members, in the Church and Commonwealth, and may be at last partakers, of the immortal Glory of the Resurrection, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen, Amen.
