Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Illumina quaeso , Domine , tenebras nostras , & totius noctis hujus insidias a me & omnibus fidelibus tuis , ab animabus praecipue , sed & a corporibus nostris repelle propitius per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O God , which hast prepared for them that love thee , such good things as pass mans understanding ; Pour into my heart such love towards thee , that I obeying thee in all things , may obtain thy promises , which exceed all that I can desire , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . ENcline thine ear unto me , O Lord , and hearken unto my words . Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness , thou that art the Saviour of them that put their trust in thee . Keep me as the apple of thine eye , and hide me under the shadow of thy wings , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , I cry unto thee , let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as Incense , and the lifting up of my hands be an Evening Sacrifice , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . The Lord is my Strength and my Shield , my heart hath trusted in him , and I am helped : therefore my heart danceth for joy , and in my song will I praise him . Amen . O Lord of all power and might , who art the Author and giver of all good things ; Graft in my heart the love of thy Name , increase in me true Religion , nourish me with all goodness , and of thy great mercy keep me in the same , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . LOrd , let me know my end , and then umber of my daies ; that I may be certified how long I have to live . Behold , thou hast made my daies as it were a span long , and my age is even as nothing in respect of thee : and verily every man living is altogether vanity . For man walketh in a vain shadow , and disquieteth himself in vain : he heapeth up riches , and cannot tell , who shall gather them . And now , Lord , what is my hope ? truly my hope is even in thee . Deliver me from all mine offences and make me not a rebuke to the foolish , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Domine ! Mea omnia & meipsum tibi dono offero , actionem & sermonem , quietem & silentium . Tantum me habeas & dūcas ; & manum & mentem & linguam , ad ea quae honesta sunt & tibi grata , moveas : & ab omnibus , a quibus abstinere praestat , abducas . Per & propter Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . TUESDAY . LOrd , preserve me , that neither this day , nor any day of my life I may walk in the counsel of the ungodly , stand in the way of sinners , or sit down in the seat of the scornful ; but that my delight may be in thy Law , O Lord , and my exercise in it day and night . Amen . O Sol Iustitiae , Pater & Origo omnium , tuo sydere afflari reviviscere ●est , tuo foveri lumine proficere est , tuis accendi flammis perfici est , abs● te deseri perire est . O ter felices , quibus mitis & roscidus exoreris . Bees me , O Domine Jesu , lumine tuo , & discute nebulas ignorantiae meae , & caliginem peccatorum meorum : ut non aberrans a via mandatorum tuorum , te sequar in lumen aeternum , per teipsum unicum Salvatorem & Redemptorem meum . Amen . O Lord , thou art my Assurance ; I humbly beseech thee preserve my foot from taking , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen .

O remember not the sins and offences of my youth , or my riper age : but according to thy mercy think thou upon me , O Lord , of thy goodness , and the merits of Iesus Christ my Saviour . Amen . Almighty God , who seest that we have no power of our selves to help our selves ; Keep me , I beseech thee , both outwardly in my body , and inwardly in my soul , that so I may be defended from all adversity which may happen to my body , and from all evil thoughts which my assault and hurt my soul , through Iesus Christ my Lord and only Saviour . Amen . HEarken unto my voice , O Lord , now I cry unto thee : have mercy upon me , and hear me . My heart hath talked of thee , Seek ye my face ; thy face , Lord , will I seek . O hide not thou thy face from me , nor cast thy servant away in displeasure . Thou hast been my succour , leave me not , neither forsake me , O God of my Salvation . Amen . At Evening , Morning , and at Noon day will I pray , and that instantly : Lord hear my voice . O deliver my Soul in peace from the practises that are against me . Amen . Let thy merciful ears , O Lord , be open to the prayers of me thy humble servant ; and that I may obtain my petitions , make me to ask such things as shall please thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . LOrd , let me not be confounded , for I have called upon thee . O how plentiful is thy goodness , which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee , and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee , even before the sons of men ! Lord , I trust in thee , have mercy upon me . My tears have been my meat day and night , while they daily say unto me , Where is now thy God ? But let them have no cause to say it any more , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . ALmighty God , which shewest to all men that are in errour , the light of thy truth , to the intent that they may return into the way of Righteousness ; Grant , I beseech thee , unto me and all them that are admitted into the Fellowship of Christs Religion , that we may eschew those things which are contrary to our profession , and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same , through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Domine Salvator , qui habes in potestate peccatum solvere , dicas mihi , oro , Exi de vinculis tuis , Exide nexibus peccatorum tuorum , & dicendo solve funes errorum meorum quibus circumdatus & ligatus sum . Etsi enim nequissimus sim omnium & detestabilis usu peccatorum , te tamen jubente liber ero . Amen . LOrd , give me grace that I may dwell under the defence of the most highest , and that I may abide under thy shadow , O thou Almighty : For thou art my hope and my strong hold ; in thee will I trust , through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O God , thou which declarest thy Almighty power , most chiefly by shewing mercy and pity , Give unto me abundantly thy grace , that I running to thy promises , may be made partaker of thy heavenly treasure , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O God , thou art my hope and strength , a very present help in trouble ; Confirm me , that I may not fear , though the earth be moved , and the hills carried into the midst of the sea : though the waters thereof rage and swel , and the mountains shake at the tempest of the same . O be in the midst of my soul , and I shall never be moved . Amen . O Lord , look upon me , and be merciful unto me , as thou usest to do to those that fear thy Name , Order my steps in thy word , and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me . Amen . Almighty God , give unto me , I beseech thee , a full increase of faith , hope , and charity : And that I may obtein that which thou dost promise , make me love that which thou dost command , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . LOrd , I call upon thee in the day of my trouble , in the night of my heaviness . O deliver me , and I will glorifie thee . Amen . O Lord correct me , but with judgement , not in thy anger , lest thou bring me to nothing . And grant that thy correction may amend me , and make me thine , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Respice me quoque , O Domine Jesu ! ut propria possim recognoscere peccata , & fletibus piis culpas solvere . Da quaeso lacrymas Petri : nolo laetitiam peccatoris . Utque hoc fiat , Respice tu , & des ut mihi etiam miserrimo peccatorum aliquis gallus cantet ; ut liberatus tibi cantem in secula seculorum . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , grand , I humbly beseech thee , that I may love all those things which thou commandest , and desire that which thou dost promise , that among the sundry and manifold changes of the world , my heart may surely there be fixed , where true joys are to be found , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . WEDNESDAY . O Lord , I have sinned , and dealt wickedly ; nay , offended in all thine Ordinances . Let thy wrath turn from me , for I am weak ; and hear my prayers , and deliver me for thine own sake , and the merits of my Saviour Iesus Christ. Amen . Gracious Father , without thee I can do nothing but sin ; nor can I confess it to have pardon but by thee . I was conceived and born in sin : And though thou didst wash me from that in the laver of Baptisme , yet I have since defiled my self again , and by many grievous actual sins , have made my self a sinner above all other men , considering the great measure of grace that thou hast given me . Lord , increase thy grace , and by it weaken first , and then cut off my resistance , that I may see , and confess , and hate , and forsake all my sins , and find mercy and salvation in the merits of my blessed Saviour Iesus Christ. Amen . O Lord , early this morning do I cry unto thee ; for in thy word is my trust . Hear me , O Lord , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , let me hear thy loving kindness betimes in the morning , for in thee is my trust . O shew me the way that I should walk in this day , and all the daies of my life ; for I lift up my soul unto thee in the mercies of Jesus Christ. Amen . Deliver me , O Lord , from all mine offences , and make me not a rebuke to the foolish . For man walketh in a vain shadow , and disquieteth himself in vain . But Lord , what is my hope ? truly my hope is even in thee : And there let it still continue acceptable in Iesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour . Amen . O Lord , look upon me in mercy ; In the greater mercy , because the calling and place I am in , must give a stricter account to thee . Look therefore upon me , O Lord , but not till thou hast nailed my sins to the Cross of Christ : not till thou hast bathed me in the Blood of Christ : not till I have hid my self in the Wounds of Christ , that so the punishment , which should else overtake me , may pass over me : then look , and say unto my soul , I have forgiven thee ; and by the work of thy mercy in my soul make me feel it , through Iesus Christ our only Lord and Saviour . Amen . O Domine , qui magnos greges perficis , & parvos per gratiam auges , pro amplissima benignitate tua copiose me consolare , & gregem meum mecum & pasce & conserva : per Jesum Christum summum Pastorem , et Salvatorem nostrum .

In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee ; for thou hearest me . Amen . Deliver my soul , O God , from lying lips , and from a deceitfull tongue . Amen .

Amen . O Lord , give me such grace as I may seek thee while thou mayest be found , and call upon thee while thou art near ; that I may detest and forsake the wickedness of my wayes , and the unrighteousness of my own imaginations : that I may return unto thee , and thou have mercy upon me in Iesus Christ my only Saviour and Redeemer . Amen . Teach me thy ways , O Lord , and I will walk in thy truth . O knit my heart unto thee , that I may fear thy Name . Amen .

HAve mercy upon me , O God , after thy great● goodness , and according to the multitude of thy Mercies do away mine offences . Wash me throughly from my wickedness , and cleanse me from my sin : For I acknowledge my faults , and my sin is ever before me . But let not this Evening take from me the light of the Sun of Righteousness , Iesus Christ my Saviour . Amen . O Domine , exaudire dignare preces meas in beneplacito tuo . In●micum ab actibus meis & cogitationibus virtute tua expelle . Multiplica mihi fidem , guberna mentem , spirituales cogitationes concede ( super stratum vigilanti , ) & ad beatitudinem tuam perducito , per Jesum Christum Filium tuum , & Salvatorem nostrum . Amen . Lord , I beseech thee , give me grace to avoid the infections of the Devil , and with a pure heart and mind to follow thee the only true God , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . LOrd , I offer up unto thee my Evening Sacrifice ; thy Sacrifice , even a troubled spirit , a broken and a contrite heart , which thou wilt not despise , in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Domine , supplex te oro , respice me , & purga mentem meam & cogitationes meas ab impuris concupiscentiis , & ab omni inquinamento carnis & spiritus , & ab omni diabolica operatione , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Domine , ineffabilem misericordiam tuam clementer ostende , & simul exue me a peccatis quae commisi , & eripe me a poenis quas merui , per Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O God , for as much as without thee I am not able to please thee , grant that the working of thy mercy may in all things direct and rule my heart , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , give me that grace , that I may remember thee upon my Bed , and think upon thee when I am waking . Thou hast been my helper ; therefore under the shadow of thy wings I will hope to pass through the darkness of this night , in the comfort of Iesus Christ my Lord and only Saviour . Amen . O Lord , make mine eyes prevent the night watches , that I may be occupied in thy words . Amen . O Lord , thou which hast made the night for man to rest in , as well as the day to labour ; Grant , dear Father , that I may so take my bodily rest , that my soul may continually watch for my deliverance out of this mortal life . And that my sleep be not excessive , according to the insatiable desires of the flesh , but sufficient to relieve and maintain nature ; to live and serve thee in all sober and godly conversation , through the aid and assistance of Iesus Christ my only Lord and Saviour . Amen . THURSDAY . O Hold thou up my goings in thy paths , that my footsteps slip not . Amen . Subveni Domine mi Jesu , & accingere gladium tuum circa femur Potentissime . Omnium Potentissime egredere : Occide me in me , ut vivam in te , & desinant inimici persequi me . Amen . O God , thou art my God , early will I seek thee : My soul thirsteth for thee , my flesh longeth greatly after thee , in a barren and dry land , where no water is . O satisfie this thirst with thy freshest waters of comfort , in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , have mercy upon me ; I have waited for thee : Be thou my arm in the morning , and my help in the time of trouble : that I may exalt thy Name which dwellest on high , that I may live in the stability of thy times , and that thy fear may be my treasure , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Almighty God and merciful Father , grant , I beseech thee , that as I do believe thy only Son our Lord to have ascended into the heavens ; so I , and all thy faithful Servants , may in heart and mind thither ascend , and with thee continually dwel . Amen . O God , the King of glory , who hast exalted thine only Son Iesus Christ with great triumph into thy Kingdom in heaven , I beseech thee leave neither thy Church , nor my poor self comfortless ; but send us thy Holy Ghost to comfort us , and exalt us unto the same place , whither our Saviour Christ is gone before , who liveth and raigneth with thee , one God world without end . Amen . HEar my prayer , O God , and hide not thy self from my petition . Take heed unto me and hear me , how I mourn in my prayer and am vexed . Give me strength and comfort in thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O God , the proud are risen against me , and the Congregation of factious men have sought after my soul , and have not set thee before their eyes . But thou Lord God art full of compassion and mercy , long suffering , plenteous in goodness and truth . O turn thee then unto me , and have mercy upon me : shew some token upon me for good , that they which hate me may see it , and be ashamed , because thou Lord hast holpen me , and comforted me in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Assist me mercifully , O Lord , in these , and all other my supplications and prayers , and dispose my ways towards the attainment of everlasting salvation , that among all the changes and chances of this mortal life , I may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help , through Iesus Christ our Lord.

Amen . Hold not thy tongue , O God of my praise ; for the mouth of the ungodly , yea , and the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me : And they have spoken against me with false tongues , they compassed me about also with words of hatred , and fought against me without a cause . But I give my self unto prayer ; Lord , forgive them , and hear me . Amen . O God which art the author of peace , and lover of concord , in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life , whose service is perfect freedome ; defend me and all thy servants in all assaults of our enemies , that we surely trusting in thy defence , may not fear the power of any adversaries , through the might of Iesus Christ our Lord.

Amen . Da mihi , Domine , dormitum abeunti requiem corporis & animae . Custodi me a caliginoso peccati somno , ab omni tenebrosa & nocturna mollitie .

En , qui nominis tui praetextu ex ignobilibus & obscuris clari & illustres effecti sunt , honore abutuntur , & contra te , qui honorem largitus es ; auden●que non audenda in sacro sancta mysteria tua injurii . Probos quantum possunt extrudunt , ut homines perditis moribus praediti summa cum quiete & licentia conturbent omnia . O Domine , exurge adjuva Ecclesiam tuam , & ne sinas animam meam in eorum Consilium descendere , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Lord , I will cry day and night before thee , let my prayer enter into thy presence , encline thine ear unto my calling ; for my soul is full of trouble , and my life draws nigh unto the pit .

O Domine , ne sit mihi inutilis pugna verborum , sed incunctan●is fidei constans professio . Conserva , oro , in me fidei incontaminatam religionem .

Miserae carnis meae infirmitatem tu nosti , qui finxisti me : Invisibilium hostium meorum vigilantiam tu nosti , qui vides eos ; Protegat me ala bonitatis tuae , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Lord , there is no hiding me from thy presence : For if I should say , the darkness shall cover me , then shall my night be turned to day . For the darkness is no darkness with thee , but the night is as clear as the day , the darkness and the light to thee are both alike . Therefore , O God , I present my self open before thee , O cleanse my soul , that it may rejoyce to be seen of thee in Iesus Christ. Amen . Die jam transacto , gra●ias tibi ago Domine , gloriam tibi tribuo , quod sine scandalo ; hymnis effero , quod liber ab insidiis diem transegerim , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Thy righteousness , O God , is very high , and great things are they which thou hast done for me . O God , who is like unto thee ? Thou hast brought me to great honour , and comforted me on every side . Therefore will I praise thee and thy righteousness , O God , and unto thee will I sing , O thou holy One of Israel . My lips will be glad when I sing unto thee , and so will my soul which thou hast delivered . My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long : for many are confounded & brought to shame that have sought to do me evil . O Lord , continue thy blessings to me , and multiply my thankfulness to thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , thou keeper of Israel , which in the watch over thy servants dost neither slumber nor sleep , be my keeper , and preserve me this night . O keep my soul. Amen . Lord , give me grace to make haste , and not prolong the time to keep thy Commandments . That I may call my own ways to remembrance , and turn my feet to thy Testimonies . And then at midnight will I rise and give thee thanks , because of thy righteous judgments , O Lord my strength and my Redeemer . Amen . Wo is me , that I am constrain●d to dwell with Mesech , and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar : For my soul hath too long dwelt among them that are enemies unto peace : Too long , O Lord , but that it is thy good pleasure to continue my dwelling in this vale of misery .

Amen . Linguae fraenum . LEt the words of my mouth , and the meditations of my heart , be alwaies acceptable in thy sight , O Lord my strength and my Redeemer . Amen . Lord , keep my tongue from evil , and my lips that they speak no guile : that so I may eschew evil and do good , seek peace and ensue it . Amen . O Lord , give me the mouth of the righteous , that it may be exercised in wisdom , and that my tongue may be talking of judgment . Amen . Lord , I have said in thy grace , I will take heed unto my waies , that I offend not in my tongue . Give me , O give me that grace , that I may take this heed , that I may keep my mouth , as it were with a bridle ; especially when the ungodly is in my sight , be it never so much pain or grief unto me .

Amen . O Lord , whatsoever thou shalt lay upon me , I will hold my peace , and not open my mouth , because it is thy doing and my deserving . Amen . O Lord , thou hast dealt graciously with thy servant according to thy word . For before I was troubled I went wrong , but now have I prayed that I may keep thy Law. And it is good for me that I have been in trouble , that so I may learn still to keep it better , in the mercies of Iesus Christ. Amen . I know , O Lord , that thy Judgments are right , & that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled . O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort , according to thy word unto thy servant , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen .

O God , the enemy cryeth so , and the ungodly cometh on so fast , that they threaten to overbear me , they are minded to do me some mischief , so maliciously are they set against me . My heart is disquieted within me , and the fear of death is fallen upon me . Fearfulness and trembling and an horrible dread hath overwhelmed me . And I said , O that I had wings like a dove , that I might flie away and be at rest : that I might make hast to escape the stormy wind and tempest . But be thou my helper , and I will magnifie thee , O Lord my strength and my Redeemer . Amen . O be thou my help in trouble , for vain is the help of man. Amen .

Especially , O Lord , bless and preserve me at this time from , ●c . that I may glorifie thee for this deliverance also , and be safe in the merits and the mercies of Iesus Christ my only Lord and Saviour . Amen . O Lord , thou hast fed me with the bread of affliction , and given me plenty of tears to drink . I am become a very strife to my neighbours , and mine enemies laugh me to scorn . But turn thee again , thou God of Hosts , shew me the light of thy countenance , and I shall be whole . Amen . Help me , O Lord my God , O save me according to thy mercy ; and then the world shall know that this is thy hand , and that thou Lord hast done it . Amen Lord Iesu , Amen . If my delight had not been in thy Law , I should have perished in my trouble . O continue my delight . Amen . Pestilentia . DEliver me , O Lord , from all my offences , and make me not a rebuke to the foolish . Take , I humbly beseech thee , thy plague away from thy people , for we begin to be consumed by means of thy heavy hand . And for Iesus Christ his sake lay neither me nor mine under this uncomfortable disease . Amen . O Lord , deliver me from the ●nare of the hunter , and from the noisome pestilence : O defend me under thy wings , and keep me safe under thy feathers , that I may not be afraid for any terror by night , nor for the arrow that flyeth by day ; for the pestilence that walketh in the darkness , nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day . Though thousands fall beside me , and ten thousands at my right hand , yet let it not come near me , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , thou art my hope , I beseech thee let no evil happen unto me , neither let any plague come nigh my dwelling ; but give thine Angels charge over me to keep me in all my wayes , O Lord my strength and my Redeemer . Amen . O let the sorrowful sighing of them whom thou hast visited come before thee ; and according to the greatness both of thy power and mercy preserve thou them that are appointed to die , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , I beseech thee favourably to hear the prayers of thy humble servant ; that I & my Family , which are justly punished for our offences , may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness from this and all other infection both of soul and body : that so we may live both to serve and to praise thee , to the glory of thy great Name , through Iesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour . Amen . O Almighty God , which in thy wrath in the time of King David didst slay with the plague of Pestilence threescore and ten thousand , and yet remembring thy mercy didst save the rest : Have pity upon us miserable sinners , that now are visited with great sickness and mortality ; and like as thou didst then command thine Angel to cease from punishing , so it may now please thee to withdraw from us this plague and grievous sickness , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord God , who hast wounded us for our sins , and consumed us for our transgressions by thy late heavy and long-continued Visitation , and in the midst of that Judgment remembring mercy , hast redeemed us from death : We offer up unto thee our selves , our souls and bodies ( which thou hast now delivered ) to be a living sacrifice unto thee . And here I offer up unto thee , most merciful Father , in the name of all thy people , all possible praise and thanks , and shall ever magnifie thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen . Morbus . O Lord , the sorrows of death compass me , and the snares of it are ready to overtake me . When thou wilt dissolve my tabernacle , thou alone knowest : therefore in this my trouble I will call upon thee my Lord , and will complain unto my God. O be with me at the instant of my death , and receive me for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Into thy hands I commend my spirit , for thou hast redeemed me , O Lord God of Truth . O Lord , thy hand is heavy upon me day and night , and my moisture is become like the drought in Sommer . I acknowledge my sin unto thee , O Lord , and my unrighteousness have I not hid . O Lord be merciful unto me . Amen . O Lord , hear my prayer , and with thine ears consider my calling , hold not thy peace at my tears . For I am a stranger with thee and a sojourner , as all my Fathers were . O spare me a little , that I may recover my strength before I go hence and be no more seen . Amen . O Domine , media vita in morte sumus , unde aut a quo quaerimus auxilium , nisi a te Domine , qui tamen pro peccatis nostris merito infensus es nobis ? Sancte fortis , sancte misericors Salvator , amarissimis poenis mortis aeternae ne tradas me . Ne projicias me in tempore aegritudinis meae , quum deficit virtus mea ne derelinquas me . Domine , ante te omne desiderium meum , & suspiria mea a te non sunt abscondita . Nosti , Domine , nosti intima Cordis mei ; ne quaeso occludas precibus meis aures misericordiae tuae . Quin parce mihi ô Domine sanctissime , ô Omnipotens Deus , sanctus & Salvator maxime misericors , dignissime & aeterne Iudex , ne sinas me in hora mea novissima pro● quocunque terrore mortis excidere a te . Amen , O Domine Salvator Jesu . O Lord , the snares of● death compass me round about , the pains of hell get hold upon me . I have found trouble and heaviness , but will call upon thy Name , O Lord ; O Lord deliver my soul. Deliver my soul from death , mine eyes from tears , and my feet from falling : that I may walk before thee in the land of the living . Amen . Thou , O Lord , hast chastened and corrected me , but not given me yet over unto death . Open me the gates of righteousness , that I may go into them , and give thanks unto the Lord. Amen . There is no health in my flesh by reason of thy wrath , neither is there any rest in my bones by reason of my sin . Yet , O Lord , be merciful unto me and heal me , even for thy Names sake . Amen .

And let me not live longer then to honour thee , through Iesus Christ. Amen . Bellum . O My God , though mighty Nations gather together on heaps , yet let them be broken in pieces : though they take counsel together , bring it to nought . For though they pronounce a decree , yet it shall not stand , if thou , O God , be with us . Be with us therefore , O God , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Blessed be thou , O Saviour of Israel , which didst destroy the assault of the Mighty man , by the hand of thy servant David , and gavest the Host of strangers into the hand of Ionathan ; shut up this Army in the hand of Israel , and let them be confounded with their power , and with their horsemen . Make them afraid , and consume their boldness and strength , that they may be astonished at their own destruction . Cast them down by the sword of them that love thee ; that we which love thy Name may praise thee and sing unto thee . Grant this for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord of Hosts , give us strength that we may follow on upon our enemies and overtake them , and not return till we have destroyed them . O gird us with strength unto the Battail , that we may smite them that they may not be able to stand , but fall under our feet . And when thou hast thus blessed us , make us fall down at thy feet , and ever worship thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord , Amen . O make the wars to cease in all the world , break the Bow , and knap the Spear in sunder , and burn the Chariot in the fire ; that men may be still and know that thou art God , that thou wilt be exalted among the hea●hen , and in the earth . Amen . Lord , be not far off , put us not to confusion , but go out with our Armies and prosper them , that we may not turn our backs upon our Enemies , while they that hate us spoil our persons , our honour , and our goods .

But , Lord , we humbly beseech thee forgive us our sins and deliver us , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Hast thou forsaken us , O God ? and wilt not thou , O God , go forth with our Hosts ? O help us against the Enemy , for vain is the help of man. O Lord help us . Amen .

And we humbly beseech thee to continue such thy mercies towards us , that all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and mighty Deliverer , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , bless the King , all his Commanders under him , and all his Souldiers . Cover all their heads , his especially , in the day of Battail .

And set a happy end , we humbly beseech thee , to all these Bloody distractions , and restore Peace and preserve Religion in integrity among us , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Paupertas . O Lord , when thou makest inquisition for blood , remember and forget not the complaint of the Poor . Arise , O Lord God , and lift up thy hand , forget not the Poor .

O praise the Lord ye that fear him , and magnifie him all ye of the seed of Iacob : For he hath not despised nor abhorred the low estate of the Poor , he hath not hid his face from him , but when he called unto him he heard him . O bow down thine ear and hear him still , O thou holy one of Israel . Amen . I am poor and needy , O God , make haste unto me : Thou art my helper and my deliverer , O Lord make no long tarrying . Amen . Dolor . LOrd , turn thee unto me , and have mercy upon me , for I am desolate and in misery . The sorrows of my heart are inlarged , O bring thou me out of my troubles .

Hear my crying , O God , give ear unto my prayer : from the ends of the earth , whither soever thou shalt cast me , I will call upon thee when my heart is in heaviness . O set me upon the Rock that is higher then I , to be my hope and a strong tower against my oppressors . Amen . Save me , O God , for the waters are entred into my soul. I stick fast in the deep mire where no stay is , I am come into deep waters , and the streams run over me . They that hate me without a cause are more then the hairs of my head , and they which would destroy me causless are mighty . O let not these water-floods drown me , neither let the deep swallow me up , and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me . Hear me , O Lord , for thy loving-kindness is great , turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies . Hide not thy face from thy servant , for I am in trouble , but draw near unto my soul and redeem it , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen .

O Lord , my sins have made me a rebuke to my neighbours , and to be laughed to scorn of them that are round about me . O suffer me not longer to be a by-word among the people .

And though all this be come upon me , suffer me not , O Lord , to forget thee , or to behave my self frowardly in thy Covenant , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Destroy their tongues , O Lord , and divide them , for I have seen cruelty and strife in the City . But I will call upon thee , O Lord , and thou wilt save me . Amen . O Lord , send down from heaven , and save me from the reproof of them that would swallow me . Send out thy mercy and truth , for my soul is among Lions , I lie among the children of men that are set on fire , whose teeth are spears and arrows , and their tongue a sharp sword . O deliver me , and I shall magnifie thy Name for ever . Amen . I am become a Monster to many , but thou art my sure trust . O be my Anchor for ever . Amen .

Amen . Fraudes . Dolus . O Lord , watch over thy servant ; for my familiar friends whom I trusted have laid wait for me . Be thou merciful unto me , O Lord , and deliver me from them : that even in this I may know thou favourest me , that mine Enemies are not able to triumph against me . Amen . Exalt thy self , O God , above the heavens , and thy glory upon all the earth . For men have laid a net for my steps , they have pressed down my soul , they have digged a pit before me . Lord , I desire not that they should fall into the midst of it themselves , but I beseech thee keep me out and deliver me , for thy mercy sake . Amen . Mine enemies lay wait for my soul , and take counsel together : They pursue me out of an opinion that thou , O God , hast forsaken me . But go not far from me , O God ; my God , haste to help me . Amen . O Lord , the proud have digged pits for me : They persecute me falsely , O be thou my help . They had almost made an end of me upon earth , yet suffer me not , I beseech thee , to depart from thy Commandments , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Lord , keep me from the snare which malicious men have laid for me , and from the traps of wicked doers . If they will not repent , let them fall into their own nets together , but let me ever escape them . Amen . O Lord , I pour out my complaints before thee : Consider them , for I am brought very low . O deliver me from my persecutors , for they are too strong for me . Amen . Templi ingressus . LOrd , I will come into thy house upon the multitude of thy mercies , and in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy Temple . O bless me that I may . Amen . Hear the voice of my humble Petitions , O Lord , when I crie unto thee in this place , when I hold my hands towards the mercy-seat of thy holy Temple , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for ever , and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings . O Lord , hear our desires , and give an heritage unto those that pray unto thee , and fear thy Name .

Amen . Serenitas . O Lord God , which for the sin of Man didst once drown all the world except eight persons● and afterward of thy great mercy didst promise never to destroy it so again : We humbly beseech thee , that though we● for our iniquities have worthily deserved a plague of rain and waters , yet upon our true repentance thou wilt give us such weather , whereby we may receive the fruits of the earth in due season ; and learn both by thy punishment to amend our lives , and for thy clemency to give thee praise and glory , through Iesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord , our iniquities testifie against us ; for our backslidings are many , and we have sinned against thee : yet , O thou hope of Israel , thou Saviour thereof in time of trouble , shew mercy fo● thy Names sake ; and on me especially . For why shouldest thou be as a stranger in my soul , or as a wayfaring man that turns aside to tarry but for a night ? O Lord be and dwell in the midst of me , for thy Name is called upon me . Leave me not O God of my salvation , but have mercy for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . For thy Names sake , O Lord. be merciful unto my sin , for it is great . Amen . O Lord Almighty , I acknowledge and confess I am not worthy to lift up mine eyes to heaven , much less to present my self before thee with any confidence that thou shouldest hear my pray●ers and grant my requests , if I consider my own deser●ing : For my Conscience accuses me , and my sins witness against me ; and thou art a just and an upright Judge , and wilt not justifie any sinner in his transgressions . O Lord , suffer me not to be swallowed up of death and desperation , but in the multitude of thy mercies pardon me , O Lord , for thy goodness sake . For though I am a worm and no man , yet thou art my Creator , and I am the work of thy hands ; yea , thou art my Father , and I thy Son : Thou my Shepheard , & I one of thy stragling Flock : Thou my Redeemer , and I one of thy People whom thou hast dearly bought : Thou my God , and I thy Creature . O correct me not in thine anger , O Lord , neither punish me according to my deservings , but remember my weakness as well as my sin , and have mercy upon me for my dearest Saviours sake Iesus Christ. Amen . Almighty & everlasting God , which hatest nothing that thou hast made , and forgivest the sins of all them that are penitent ; Create & make in me a new and contrite heart , that I may worthily lament my sins , and acknowledge my wretchedness , and obtain of thee the God of all mercie perfect remission and forgiveness , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Almighty & everliving God , which art alwaies more ready to hear then we to pray , and usest to give more then either we desire or deserve ; Pour down upon me most miserable sinner the abundance of thy mercy , forgiving me those things whereof my conscience is afraid , and giving me that which my prayer dares not presume to ask . Grant this for Iesus Christ his sake , our Lord and only Saviour . Amen . Grant , I beseech thee merciful God , to me thy sinful but humble servant pardon and peace , that I may be cleansed from all my sins , and serve thee with a quiet mind , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Lord , I beseech thee , free me from all my offences , and by thy bountiful goodness deliver me from the bands of all those sins which by my ignorance , frailty , or wilfulness I have committed . Grant this even for Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O God merciful Father , that despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart , nor the desire of such as besorrowful ; Mercifully assist my prayers that I make before thee in all my troubles and adversities whensoever they oppress me : and graciously hear me , that those evils which the craft and subtilty of the devil or man worketh against me be brought to nought , and by the providence of thy goodness so dispersed , that I thy poor servant being overcome by no temptation , nor hurt by any persecution , may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , of thy great goodness I beseech thee give me true repentance , and forgive me all my sins , negligences , and ignorances , and indue me with the grace of thy holy Spirit , that I may amend my life according to thy holy word , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O God , whose nature and property is ever to have mercy and to forgive , receive my humble petitions : And though I am tied and bound with the chain of my sins , yet let the pitifulness of thy great mercy loose me , and that for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Exaudi quaeso , Domine , supplicis preces , & confitentis tibi parce peccatis , ut pariter mihi indulgentiam tribuas benignus & pacem , per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum . Amen . Omnipotens Deus , qui aquam de petra produxisti , educ de duritia cordis mei compunctionis lachrimas ; ut peccata mea ita plangere valeam , ut remissionem eorum te miserante accipiam , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Almighty God , Father of our Lord Iesus Christ , Maker of all things , Judge of all men ; I acknowledge and bewail my manifold sins and wickedness , which I have from time to time most grievously committed , by thought , word , and deed against thy divine Majesty , provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against me . I do earnestly repent , and am heartily sorry for these my misdoings , the remembrance of them is grievous unto me , the burden of them is intolerable . Have mercy upon me , have mercy upon me , most merciful Father . For thy Son our Lord Iesus Christ his sake , forgive me all that is past , and grant that I may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life , to the honour and glory of thy Name , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Almighty God , and my most merciful Father , who of thy tender mercy hast promised forgiveness of sins to all them which with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto thee ; Have mercy upon me , pardon and deliver me from all my sins , confirm and strengthen me in all goodness , and bring me to everlasting life , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Piissime Domine , misericordissime Deus , sufficiat mihi quod hucusque peccavi , quod contempsi , quod foetoribus carnis meae satisfeci , jam nu●● te inspirante voveo me a nequitia mea conversurum . Adjuva , Domine , & des ut impleam , in & per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Gratiarum actio & Laudes . I Will magnifie thee , O Lord , for thou hast set me up , and not made my foes to triumph over me . O Lord , my God I cried unto thee , and thou hast healed me , thou hast kept my life from them that go down into the pit . Sing praises unto the Lord , O my soul , and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness . Amen . O my soul , be joyful in the Lord and rejoyce in his Sal●●●ion . All my bones shall say ; Lord , who is like unto thee , which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him : yea , the poor and him that is in misery from him that spoileth him . Amen . I will give thanks unto thee , O Lord , according to thy righteousness , and I will praise thy Name , O Lord most high . O Lord , thou art high and terrible , a great King over all the Earth ; thou hast subdued the people under us , and the Nations under our feet : therefore will I sing praises unto thee , O God , who art greatly to be exalted . Amen . Thy Vows are upon me , O my God , I will render praise unto thee ; for thou hast delivered my soul from death , and my feet from falling , that I may yet walk before thee , O my God , in the light of the living , and bless thee . Amen . Gratias tibi Deus ; Gratias tibi vera & una Trinitas , una & trina Veritas , trina & una Unitas . Gratias tibi Deus Pater , qui & Filium tuum ostendisti , & mihi Doctorem dedisti . O & semper des in misericordiis antiquis . Amen . My heart is ready , O Lord , my heart is ready , I will sing and give praise ; yea , I will praise thee among the People , and I will sing unto thee among the Nations . O let thy Mercy which is great unto the heavens● and thy Truth which reacheth unto the clouds , imbrace me and preserve me to thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . I will give thanks unto thee , O Lord , with my whole heart , I will speak of all thy marvellous works : I will be glad and rejoyce in thee , yea , my songs will I make of thy Name , O thou most highest . For thou hast maintained my right and my cause , thou art set in the Throne that judgest right . Lord , continue to be my defence against the oppressor , and my refuge in due time of trouble , that I may ever rejoyce in thy Salvation Iesus Christ. Amen . My trust is in thee , O God , and my heart is joyful in thy salvation . I will sing unto thee , O Lord , because thou hast dealt so lovingly with me ; yea , I will praise thy Name , O Lord most highest . Amen . O praise the Lord with me ye that fear him , magnifie him all ye of the seed of Iacob . My praise shall be of thee in the great Congregation , and my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear thee . Amen . What profit is there in my blood , when I go down to the pit ? Shall the dust give thanks unto thee , or shall it declare thy truth ? Hear , O Lord , and have mercy upon me ; Lord , be thou my helper . Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy ; thou hast put off my sackcloth , and girded me with gladness : therefore will I sing of thy praise without ceasing . O my God , I will give thanks unto thee for ever . Amen . I will alwaies give thanks unto thee , O Lord , thy praise shall ever be in my mouth . My soul shall make her boast of thee , O my God , and the humble shall hear thereof and be glad . For I sought thee , O Lord , and thou heardest me , and didst deliver me out of all my fear , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Let my mouth be filled with praise , and with thy glory every day . Amen . O Lord , who is like unto thee ? For thou hast shewed me great troubles and adversities● but thou wilt , I hope , return and quicken me , thou wilt return and take me out of this depth . Amen . I will thank thee , O Lord my God , with all my heart , and will praise thy Name for ever : For great is thy mercy towards me , and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost Hell. O deliver it still for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , I give thee humble and hearty thanks for the measure of knowledge which thou hast given me of thy truth ; for giving me a love to it , and thy Church : for quieting my soul in the midst of thy Churches distractions ; for the measure of rest and repose which thou hast given me in thee , whereas no true content is found without thee . Lord , I give thee humble thanks likewise for the temporal blessings which thou hast heaped on me ; the favour of my Leige Lord and Soveraign : the place to which thou hast raised me : the means which thou hast given me to do good . Lord , I cannot name all thy blessings , how shall I thank thee for them ? Lord , I will thank thee for them by honouring thee in them . O give a heart to desire all this , and grace to perform it ; that my sins may be forgiven me , and that I may be thine , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O praise the Lord , for he is gracious : O sing unto his Name , for it is lovely . I will give thanks unto thee , O Lord , with my whole heart , I will worship towards thy holy Temple , and praise thy Name ; and that because of thy loving kindness and truth , for thou hast magnified thy Name and thy Word above all things .

O Lord , I beseech thee , forgive mine enemies all their sins against thee ; and give me that measure of thy grace , that for their hatred .

Lord , I pray for them ; forgive them , for they know not what they do . Amen .

Amen . Be merciful unto me , O God , for mine Enemies would swallow me up , and many they are which fight against me , O thou most highest ; they gather together and keep themselves close , they mark my steps , because they lay wait for my soul. But when I was afraid I trusted in thee and when I cry , then shall mine Enemies turn back . This thou wilt make me know , when thou art with me : Be with me therefore , O Lord , and let me see deliverance . Amen . O Lord , let not them that are mine Enemies triumph over me , neither let them wink with their eyes that hate me either without a cause , or for thy cause . Amen . O Lord God , in thee have I put my trust , save me from all them that persecute me , and deliver me ; lest they devour my soul like a Lyon , and tear it in pieces while there is none to help . Lift up thy self , O God , because of the indignation of mine Enemies : arise up for me in the Judgment which thou hast commanded , that my help may still be from thee , O God , who preservest them that are true of heart . Amen . Have mercy upon me , O God , consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me , O thou that liftest me up from the gates of death . Amen . Hear my voice , O God , in my prayer , preserve my life from fear of the Enemy ; hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked , and from the rage of the workers of iniquity . They have whet their tongues like a sword , and shoot out their arrows , even bitter words : Lord , deliver me from them . Amen . Episcopatus . DE●s omnium fidelium Pastor & Rector , me Famulum tuum , quem Pastorem Ecclesiae Cantuar. praeesse voluisti , propitius respice : Da mihi , humillime peta , verbo & exemplo quibus p●aesum proficere . Ut una cum Grege mihi credito ad vitam perveniam sempiternam , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Deus mi , Pater clementissime , gratia tua ita in me operetur , ut sim humilis in recusando omne magn●m minist●●ium , subditus tamen in suscipiendo , ●idelis in servando , st●enuus in exequendo , i● regendo populo vigilans , in corrigendo vehemens , in amando a●dens , in sustinendo patiens , in moderando prudens : ut proiis quibus praesum Deo me interponam consulenti , opponam i●ascenti , in fiducia & meritis Jesu Christi Salvatoris nostri . Amen . O Lord , as the rain cometh down from heaven , and returns not thither , but waters the Earth , and makes it bud and bring forth , that it may give seed to the sower , and bread to him that eateth : So let thy Word be that goeth out of my mouth , let it not return to me void , but accomplish that which thou wilt , and prosper in the thing whereto thou hast sent it , that the people committed to my charge may go out with joy , and be led forth in peace to thy freshest waters of comfort , in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Son of God , thou which takest away the sins of the world , have mercy upon me in this heavy Charge . Amen . Rex . O Lord , grant the King a long life , that his years may endure as many ages : Furnish him with wise and safe Counsels , and give him a heart of courage and constancy to pursue them . O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness for him , that they may preserve him ; so will I alwaies sing praises unto thy Name , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , hear the King in the day of his trouble , that thy Name , O God of Iacob , may defend him . Send him help from thy Sanctuary , and strength out of Sion . Grant him his hearts desire , & fulfill all his mind . Set his heart firm upon thee , and upon other things , but as they are in and from thee : that we his Servants under thee may see with joy that thou helpest thine Anointed , and that thou wilt hear him from thy holy Heaven , even with the wholsome strength of thy right hand . And , O Lord , close not mine eyes till I see thy favour shine ou● upon him , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Ecclesia . O Lord , we humbly beseech thee to keep thy Church and Houshold continually in thy true Religion , that they which do lean only upon hope of thy heavenly grace , may evermore be defended by thy mighty power : And that I may humbly and faithfully serve thee in this thy Church , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Gracious Father , I humbly beseech thee , for thy holy Catholick Church , fill it with all truth ; in all truth with all peace . Where it is corrupt , purge it : where it is in error , direct it : where it is superstitious , rectifie it : where any thing is amiss , reform it : where it is right , strengthen and confirm it : where it is in want , furnish it : where it is divided and rent asunder , make up the breaches of it , O thou holy one of Israel . Amen . O merciful God , since thou hast ordered me to live in these times , in which the rents of thy Church are grievous ; I humbly beseech thee to guide me , that the divisions of men may not separate me either from thee or it , that I may ever labour the preservation of truth and peace , that where for and by our sins the peace of it succeeds not , thou wilt yet accept my will for the deed , that I may still pray , even while thou grantest not , because I know thou wilt grant it when thou seest it fit . In the mean time bless , I beseech thee , this Church in which I live , that in it I may honour and serve thee all the daies of my life , and after this be glorified by thee , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord thou hast brought a Vine out of Egypt and planted it ; thou madest room for it , and when it had taken root it filled the land . O why hast thou broken down her hedge , that all which go by pluck off her grapes : the wild boar out of the wood rooteth it up , and the wild beasts of the field devour it . O turn thee again thou God of Hosts , look down from heaven , behold and visit this Vine , and the place of the Vineyard that thy right hand hath planted , and the branch that thou madest so strong for thy self . Lord , hear me for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , except thou buildest the house , their labour is but lost that build it : and except thou , O Lord , keep the City , the Watchman waketh but in vain . It is but lost labour to rise early , and take late rest , and to eat the bread of carefulness , if thou bless not the endeavours that seek the peace and the welfare of thy Church . Therefore , O Lord , build thy Church and keep it , and take care for it , that there may be no lost labour amo●g the builders of it . Amen . O Lord our God , the great , the mighty , and the terrible God ; O thou which keepest covenant and mercy , let not all the trouble seem little before thee that hath come upon us , upon our Priests , upon the Houses built and dedicated to thy Name , upon the Maintenance for them that serve at thy Altar , upon our Kings , State , and People since that day of affliction . Thou art just in all that is brought upon us : For thou hast done right , but we have done wickedly . Yet , O Lord , have mercy , and turn to us again , for Iesus and his mercy sake . Amen . Respublica . O Lord , thou which bringest the counsels of the Heathen to nought , and makest the devices of the people to be of none effect , and castest out the counsels of Princes when they have offended thee : Have mercy upon this Kingdom , forgive the sins of this People ; turn thee unto them and bless them , that the world may say , Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord Iehovah , and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him to be his Inheritance . Lord , hear and grant for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Lord , bless this Kingdom , that Religion and Virtue may season all sorts of men : that there may be Peace within the Gates , and Plenty within the Palaces of it . In Peace I beseech thee so preserve it , that it corrupt not : In War so defend it , that it suffer not : In Plenty so order it , that it riot not : In Want so pacifie and moderate it , that it may patiently and peaceably seek thee , the only full supply both of Men and States ; that so it may continue a Place and a People to do thee service to the end of time , through Iesus Christ our only Saviour and Redeemer . Amen . O Lord , according to all thy righteousness , I beseech thee let thine anger be turned away from this City and thy People ; and cause thy face to shine upon whatsoever is desolate therein , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Pro Afflictis . O Let the sorrowful sighing of the Prisoners come before thee , and according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou them that are appointed to die , even for Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Regnum Angliae . BEnedic , Domine Deus omnipotens , Regnum hoc , ut sit in eo sanitas , castitas , victoria , virtus omnis , & gratiarum actio Deo Patri , & Filio , & Spiritui Sancto : et haec Benedictio maneat super hoc Regnum , & super habitantes in eo , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Iejunium . O Lord , the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me up , and the rebukes of them which rebuked thee , are fallen upon me : Therefore I wept and chastned my self with fasting , and that was turned to my reproof . I put on sackcloth also , and they jested upon me : they that sate in the gate also spake against me , and the drunkards made songs upon me . But , Lord , I make my prayer unto thee , & , I hope , in an acceptable time . O hear me in the multitude of thy mercies , which are in Iesus Christ our Saviour Amen . Quadragesima . O Lord , which for our sake didst fast fourty days & fourty nights ; Give us grace to use such abstinence , that our flesh being subdued to the spirit , we may ever obey thy godly motions , in righteousness and true holiness , to thy honour and glory , who livest and raignest one God with the Father and the Holy Ghost . Amen . Rogationes . STir up , I beseech thee O Lord , the wills of thy faithful people , that they plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works , may of thee be plenteously rewarded , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Iejunia quatuor Temporum . ALmighty God , the giver of all good gifts , who of thy divine Providence hast appointed divers Orders in the Church ; Give thy grace , I humbly beseech thee , to all those which are to be called to any Office and Administration in the same : and so replenish them with the truth of thy doctrine , and innocence of life ; that they may faithfully serve before thee , to the glory of thy great Name , and the benefit of thy holy Church , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Consecrationes . Ordinationes . O Lord , I am now at thy Altar , at thy work ; keep me that I lay not my hands suddenly upon any man , lest I be partaker of other mens sins : but that I may keep my self pure , in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Lord , give me grace , that as oft as they shall come in my way , I may put them in remembrance whom I have ordained , that they stir up the gift of God that is in them by the putting on of my hands , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Grant , O Lord I beseech thee , that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy Governance , that thy Church may joyfully serve thee in all godly quietness , through Iesus Christ our Lord.

And because it cannot continue in safety without thy succour ; preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Lord , I beseech thee , keep thy Houshold the Church in continual godliness ; that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities , and devoutly given to serve thee in good works , to the glory of thy Name , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Exilium . LOrd , send me not to the waters of Babylon , that I may have no cause to weep when I remember Sion : that no mans cruelty may lead me away captive , nor no mans scorn call upon me to sing in my heaviness . But that in my Country where I learnd to serve thee , I may live to honour thee all the daies of my life , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Martyrium . LOrd , make me remember the bones of thy Saints , how they lie scattered before the pit , even as when one heweth wood upon the earth . O Lord , mine eyes look unto thee , in thee is my trust , O cast not out my soul. And if my bones also must be broken , O Lord I beseech thee give me courage and abundance of patience , that no torment may make my faith fall away from thee , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Eucharistia . Quaecunque ab Infantia usque ad momentum hoc , sciens vel ignorans , intus vel extra , dormiens vel vigilans , verbis , factis vel cogitationibus , per jacula Inimici ignita , per desideria cordis immunda peccavi tibi , miserere mei , & dimitte mihi , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Almighty God and most merciful Father , give me I beseech thee that grace , that I may duely examine the inmost of my heart , and my most secret thoughts , how I stand before thee . Lord , I confess all my sins , and my unworthiness to present my self at thine Altar . But thou canst forgive sin and give repentance ; do both , Gracious Father , and then behold I am clean to come unto thee . Lord , make me a worthy receiver of that for which I come , Christ , and remission of sin in Christ : And that for his own mercy sake and thine . Amen . O Lord , into a clean , charitable , and thankful heart , give me grace to receive the blessed Body and Blood of thy Son , my most blessed Saviour , that it may more perfectly cleanse me from all dregs of sin ; that being made clean , it may nourish me in faith , hope , charity , and obedience , with all other fruits of spiritual life and growth in thee : that in all the future course of my life , I may shew my self such an ingrafted member into the Body of thy Son , that I may never be drawn to do any thing that may dishonour his Name . Grant this O Lord , I beseech thee , even for his merit and mercy sake . Amen . O Lord God , hear my prayers , I come to thee in a stedfast faith : yet for the clearness of my faith , Lord , enlighten it ; for the strength of my faith , Lord , encrease it . And , behold , I quarrel not the words of thy Son my Saviour's blessed Institution . I know his words are no gross unnatural conceit , but they are spirit and life , and supernatural . While the world disputes , I believe . He hath promised me if I come worthily , that I shall receive his most precious Body and Blood , with all the benefits of his Passion . If I can receive it and retain it , ( Lord , make me able , make me worthy ) I know I can no more die eternally , then that Body and Blood can die and be shed again . My Saviour is willing in this tender of them both unto me : Lord , so wash and cleanse my soul , that I may now and at all times else come prepared by hearty prayers & devotion , and be made worthy by thy grace of this infinite blessing , the Pledge and Earnest of eternal life , in the merits of the same Iesus Christ , who gave his Body and Blood for me . Amen . Almighty God , unto whom all hearts be open , all desires known , & from whom no secrets are hid : Cleanse the thoughts of my heart by the inspiration of thy holy Spirit , that I may perfectly love thee , and worthily magnifie thy Name , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Pater de coelis Deus , qui unigenitum tuum pro nobis ad mortem tradidisti . Fili Redemptor mundi Deus , qui sanguine tuo pretioso nos a peccatis abluisti . Spiritus Sancte Paraclete Deus , qui corda sanctorum tua gratia visitas & confirmas . Sacra , summa , sempiterna , beata , benedicta Trinitas ; Pater bone , Fili pie , Spiritus benigne : cujus opus vita , amor gratia , contemplatio gloria : cujus majestas ineffabilis , potestas incomparabilis , bonitas inaestimabilis : Qui vivorum Dominus es simul & mortuorum : Te adoro , te invoco , & toto cordis affectu nunc & in seculum benedico .

Amen . Misericors Pater , pro beneficiis quae mihi largiti sunt in terris Benefactores mei , praemia aeterna consequantur in coelis . Oro etiam ut cum his pro quibus oravi , aut pro quibus orare teneor , & cum omni populo Dei , introduci mihi detur in Regnum tuum , & ibi apparere in justitia , & satiari gloria , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Lord , consider my complaint , for I am brought very low . O Lord , how long wilt thou be angry with thy servant that prayeth ? O Lord give me grace and repentance , and thou canst not be angry with my prayer . O Lord , I am thine save me , and deliver me not into the will of mine enemies , especially my ghostly enemies . O Lord , I am thy servant , thy unprofitable wastful servant , yet thy servant . O Lord , set my accounts right before thee , and pardon all my mis-spendings & mis-reckonings . O Lord , I am thy son , thy most unkind , prodigal , run-away son , yet thy son . O Lord , though I have not retained the love and duty of a son , yet do not thou cast off ( I humbly beg it ) the kindness and compassion of a Father . O Lord , in thy grace I return to thee ; And though I have eaten draugh with all the unclean swine in the world , in my hungry absence from thee , yet now , Lord , upon my humble return to thee , give me , I beseech thee , the bread of life , the Body and Blood of my Saviour into my soul , that I may be satisfied in thee , and never more run away from thee , even for Iesus Christ his sake , that gave himself for me . Amen . Misericors Deus , Creator omnium hominum , qui nihil odisti eorum quae condidisti , nec vis mortem peccatoris , sed magis ut convertatur & vivat ; Miserere omnium Iudaeorum , Turcarum , Infidelium , & Haereticorum . Aufer ab iis ignorantiam , duritiem cordis , & contemptum verbi tui : & reduc eos , misericors Domine , ad Gregem tuum , ut serventur inter reliquias veri Israelis , ut fiat unum Ovile , & unus Pastor , Jesus Christus Dominus noster , qui vivit & regnat , &c. Amen . Tanquam pro Tribunali tuo tremendo ( ubi nullus erit personarum respectus ) reum memet peragens , ita hodie antequam praeveniat me dies judicii mei coram sancto tuo Altari prostratus , coram te & stupendis Angelis tuis a propria conscientia dejectus , profero improbas & nefarias cogitationes & actiones meas . Respice , oro Domine , humilitatem meam , & remitte omnia peccata mea , quae multiplicata sunt super capillos capitis mei . Quodnam enim est malum quod non designavi in anima mea : quin & multa & nefanda opere perpetravi . Reus enim sum , ô Domine , invidiae , gulae , &c. Omnes sensus meos , omnia membra mea pollui . Sed incomparabilis est multitudo viscerum tuorum , & ineffabilis misericordia bonitatis tuae , qua peccata mea toleras . Quare , ô Rex omni admiratione major , O Domine longanimis misericordias tuas mirificato in me peccatore : potentiam benignitatis tuae manifestato , clementissimae propensionis tuae virtutem exerito : & me Prodigum revertentem suscipito , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Lord God , how I receive the Body and Blood of my most blessed Saviour Iesus Christ , the price of my Redemption , is the very wonder of my soul , yet my most firm and constant belief upon the words of my Saviour . At this time they are graciously tenderd to me and my faith : Lord , make me a worthy receiver , and be it unto me as he hath said . Amen . Lord , I have received this Sacrament of the Body and Blood of my dear Saviour . His mercy hath given it , and my faith received it into my soul. I humbly beseech thee speak mercy and peace unto my Conscience , and enrich me with all those graces which come from that precious Body and Blood , even till I be possessed of Eternal life in Christ.

Pro Duce Buckinghamiae . GRacious Father , I humbly beseech thee , bless the Duke of Buckingham with all spiritual and temporal blessings , but especially spiritual . Make and continue him faithful to his Prince , serviceable to his Country , devout in thy Truth and Church : a most happy Husband and a blessed Father ; filled with the constant love and honour of his Prince , that all thy blessings may flow upon himself and his posterity after him . Continue him a true-hearted friend to me thy poor servant whom thou hast honoured in his eyes : Make my heart religious & dutiful to thee , and in and under thee true , and secret , and stout , and provident in all things which he shall be pleased to commit unto me . Even so , Lord , and make him continually to serve thee , that thou mayest bless him , through Iesus Christ our only Lord and Saviour . Amen . O most merciful God and gracious Father , the Prince hath put himself to a great Adventure , I humbly beseech thee , make a clear way before him : Give thine Angels charge over him , be with him thy self in mercy , power , and protection : in every step of his journey : in every moment of his time : in every consultation and address for action , till thou bring him back with safety , honour , and contentment , to do thee service in this place . Bless his most trusty and faithful Servant the Lord Duke of Buckingham , that he may be diligent in service , provident in business , wise and happy in counsels : for the honour of thy Name , the good of thy Church , the preservation of the Prince , the contentment of the King , the satisfaction of the State. Preserve him , I humbly beseech thee , from all envy that attends him ; and bless him , that his eyes may see the Prince safely delivered to the King and State , and after it live long in happiness to do them and thee service , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O most gracious God and merciful Father , thou art the Lord of Hosts ; all victory over our Enemies , all safety against them is from thee : I humbly beseech thee go out with our Armies , and bless them . Bless my dear Lord the Duke that is gone Admiral with them , that wisdom may attend all his Counsels , and courage and success all his Enterprises : that by his and their means thou wilt be pleased to bring safety to this Kingdom , strength and comfort to Religion , victory and reputation to our Country . And that he may return with our Navy committed to him , and with safety , honour , and love both of Prince and People . Grant this for thy dear Sons sake Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O merciful God , thy Judgments are often secret , alwayes just : At this time they were temporally heavy upon the poor Duke of Buckingham , upon me , upon all that had the honour to be near him . Lord , thou hast ( I doubt not ) given him rest , and light and blessedness in thee . Give also , I beseech thee , comfort to his Lady . Bless his Children , uphold his Friends , forget not his Servants . Lay open the bottom of all that irreligious and graceless plot that spilt his blood . Bless and preserve the King from danger , and from security in these dangerous times . And for my self , O Lord , though the sorrows of my heart are inlarged , in that thou gavest this most honourable Friend into my bosom , and hast taken him again from me ; yet blessed be thy Name , O Lord , that hast given me patience . I shall now see him no more till we meet at the Resurrection : O make that joyful to us and all thy faithful servants , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Senectus . O Lord , cast me not off in the time of mine Age , forsake me not now my strength begins to fail me . Amen . Forsake me not , O God , in mine old age , now I am gray-headed , until I have declared thy strength unto this Generation , and thy power to all them that are to come . Amen . O Lord , though thou hast shortned the dayes of my youth , yet cover me not with dishonour . Hide not thy self from me for ever , but remember how short my time is , and make me remember it , O Lord. Amen . O Lord , teach me to number my days , that I may apply my heart unto wisdom . Amen . O Lord , hide not thy face from me in the time of trouble ; for my dayes are consumed away like smoke , and my bones are burnt up like a fire-brand . My dayes are gone like a shadow , and I am withered like grass . Thou , O Lord , hast brought down my strength in my journey , and shortned my daies . But , O my God , take me not away but in the timeliness of my age , that I may continue to serve thee , and be faithful in thy service , till thou remove me hence . Amen . Tentationes . O Lord , as thou art faithful , so suffer me not , I beseech thee , to be tempted above that I am able , but give an issue with the temptation , that I may be able to bear it . Amen . Omnipotens Deus , respice preces meas , & libera cor meum a malarum cogitationum tentationibus , ut te miserante dignum esse possim Spiritus Sancti habitaculum , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Deus , qui diligentibus te facis cuncta prodesse , da cordi meo inviolabilem charitatis tuae affectum & nulla unquam tentatione mutabilem , per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum . Amen . Misericors Deus , da mihi in Fide tua constantiam , & in Charitate firmitatem , ut nullis tentationibus ab earum integritate possim divelli , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Carcer . O Lord , have mercy upon me , and bring my soul out of Prison , that I may give thanks unto thy Name , even in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , blessed is the man that hath thee for his help , and whose hope is in thee . O Lord , help me and all them to right that suffer wrong . Thou art the Lord which loosest men out of Prison , which helpest them that are fallen . O Lord , help and deliver me when , and as it shall seem best to thee , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , thine indignation lies hard upon me ; and though thou hast not ( for thy mercy is great ) vexed me with all thy storms , yet thou hast put my acquaintance far from me , and I am so fast in Prison that I cannot get forth . Lord , I call daily upon thee , hear and have mercy , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O Lord , thou which bringest the Prisoners out of captivity , while thou lettest the Runagates continue in scarceness ; Have mercy upon me , and deliver me out of the Prison and affliction in which I now am : and give me grace , that being free , I may faithfully and freely serve thee all the daies of my life , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . Confessiones . O Domine , in multis deliqui , & improbe egi , & tristitia affeci spiritum tuum sanctum . Exacerbavi viscera clementiae tuae , cogitatione , sermone , opere , noctu & interdiu , palam & in occulto , consult● & in consulto . O si constituas peccata mea in conspectu meo ; O si rationem a me exigas peccatorum in se non ignoscibilium , quae scienter commisi , quid faciam ? quo fugiam ? Sed O Domine , ne in furore tuo arguas me , nec in ira tua corripias me . Miserere mei , non solum quia infirmus sum , sed quia figmentum sum tuum . Obsecro t● , ne intres in judicium cum servo tuo : si enim iniquitates observaveris Domine , Domine , quis in judicio consistet ? Non ego certe , si quis alius . Ego enim sum peccati pelagus , & non sum dignus in coelum suspicere prae multitudine peccatorum meorum , quorum non est numerus ; probra , injuriae , &c. et mille praeterea nefandae passiones sunt , a quibus non destiti . Quibus enim non corruptus sum peccatis ? Quibus non sum constrictus malis ? Inutilis factus sum tibi Deo meo , & hominibus . Quis me in talia prolapsum suscitabit ? In te , Domine , confido , qui es Deus meus : esto mihi Salvator secundum viscera compassionis tuae , & miserere mei secundum magnam misericordiā tuam , & ne retribuas mihi secundum opera mea , sed converte te ad me , me ad te . Remitte omnia quae in te peccavi : serva me propter misericordiam tuam , & ubi abundavit peccatum , superabundet grat●● tua ; & laudabo & glorificabo te per omnes dies vitae meae . Tu enim es Deus poenitentium , & Salvator peccantium . Tibi gloria per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . Anniversaria . O Eternal God and merciful Father , with whom do rest the souls of them that die in thy faith and favour : Have mercy upon me , and grant that my life may be a preparation to die , and my death an entrance to life with thee . As upon this day it pleased thee to take my dear Father to thy mercy , whe● I was yet young . O Lord , he was 〈◊〉 servant , thy meek , humble , fai●hful servant : and I assure my self he is in rest , and light , and blessedness . Lord , while I am here behind in my pilgrimage , showre down thy grace upon me . Thou hast been more then a Father to me : thou hast not suffered me to want a Father ; no , not when thou hadst taken him from me . O be pleased to be a Father still , and by thy grace to keep me within the bounds of a Sons obedience . Thou hast given me temporal blessings beyond desert or hope ; O be graciously pleased to heap spiritual blessings on me , that I may grow in faith , obedience , and thankfulness to thee ; that I may make it my joy to perform duty to thee . And after my painful life ended , bring me , I beseech thee , to thy joyes , to thy glory , to thy self : that I and my Parents , with all thy Saints and Servants departed this life , may meet in a blessed glorious resurrection , ever to sing praises and honour to thee , in and through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Deus meus , respice servum tuum , & miserere mei secundum viscera misericordiae tuae . Scandalum ecce factus sum Nomini tuo , dum ambitioni meae & aliorum peccatis servio . Quin & hoc licet aliorum suasu , oblatrante tamen Conscientia perpetravi . Obsecro , Domine , per misericordias Jesu , ne intres in judicium cum servo tuo , sed exaudi sanguinem ejus pro me perorantem : nec hoc Conjugium sit animae meae Divortium a sinu tuo . O quanto satius f●isset si vel hujus diei satis memor , Martyrium cum Proto-martyre tuo potius perpessus essem , negando quod urgebant , aut non satis fidi , aut non satis pii amici mei . Pollicitus sum mihi tenebras peccato huic , sed ecce statim evolavit , nec lux magis aperta , quam ego qui feci . Ita voluisti Domine prae nimia misericordia tua implere ignominia faciem meam , ut discerem quaerere Nomen tuum . O Domine , quam gravis adhuc est memoria peccati hujus etiam hodie , etiam p●st tot & toties repetitas preces a tristi & confusa anima mea coram te profusas . O Domine miserere ; exaudi preces depressi & humiliati valde servi tui . Parce , Domine , et remitte peccata , quae peccatum hoc & induxerunt & sequuta sunt . Nam confiteor , Domine , iterum & eodem die revolventis anni , nec satis adhuc cautus , aut satis humilis factus in aliud grave peccatum incidi ; lapidatus iterum non pro , sed a peccato . Nunc plene suscita me , Domine , ne moriar ultra in peccatis meis ; sed des ut vivam , & vivens gaudeam in te , per merita & miserationes Jesu Christi Salvatoris nostri . Amen . O merciful God , thou hast shewed me much mercy , and done great things for me ; and as I was returning , instead of thankfulness , I wandred out of my way from thee , into a foul and a strange path . There thou madest me see both my folly & my weakness ; Lord , make me ever see them , ever sorry for them . O Lord , for my Saviours sake forgive me the folly , and strengthen me against the weakness for ever . Lord , forgive all my sins , and this ; and make me by thy grace , thy most true ; humble , and faithful servant all the daies of my life , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O misericors Pater , quo me vertam ? Qui & exeundo & revertendo peccavi contra te . Abii cum Prodigo p●●digus in longinquam regionem . Dissipavi substantiam meam , tuam luxuriose . Ibi primum sensi omnia consumpta , & me dignum non meliori quam porcorum consortio : Nec tamen aut vita illa immunda , aut fames gratiae , de reditu ad meliorem frugem vel cogitare fecit . Reversum jam ab itinere infausto ecce judicia tua , Domine , insequuntur me . Ignis corripit tecta sub quibus sum ; vidit enim Deus , nec multum distulit , sed ignis accensus est in Jacob , & ira ascendit in Israel . Et scelera ( non dubito ) mea conflagrationem Collegio minitabantur , & mihi . Nam dum igni extinguendo intentior sum , parum abfuit , quin ab igne extinguerer . Quam ecce misericordia tua , Domine , vix sine miraculo me flammis ●●puit . Nam dum amica manus astantis me vi quadam amovit , eodem instanti ex eodem loco , ubi pedem figere decrevi , prorupit inclusus ignis , in flammas subsidunt gradus , & ego , st ibi invenisset incendium , una periissem . O peccata mea nunquam satis deflenda ! O misericordia tua , Domine , nunquam satis praedicanda ! O poenitentia nunquam mihi magis necessaria ! O gratia tua , Domine , humillime & jugiter imploranda ! Surgo , ô Domine Pater , & ecce venio ; lento quidem & instabili gressu , sed venio , & confiteor : peccavi enim in coelum & contra te , nec dignus sum vocarifilius tuus . Sim , ô Domine , quid vis , modo tuus . Ablue peccata mea in sanguine Filii tui , ut sim tuus . Et concede obsecro , ut sicut tum terror , ita quotidie memoria ignis hujus exurat faeces omnes & reliquias peccatorum meorum : ut me cautiorē factum melior ignis charitatis & devotionis in amorem tui & in odium peccati accendat , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Domine misericors , glorificetur beatissimum nomen tuum : Ecce enim ego , dum pro Officio Regem sequor , & tui , & humanorum casuum immemor , & mihi praefidens , infausto in via saltu in terram infidam incidi , & Tendonem fregi . Levatus in curtum , Hamptoniam perveni . Cruciatus talis fuit , qualem nervi sentire solent . Et certe in febrem ferventiorem ipse angor conjecisset , nisi ingens defluxus sanguinis me ab illo metu liberasset . Magna infirmitate laboravi , et fere per biennium claudus incessi . Infirmitatem aliquam adhuc sentio , sed , gratiae immortales tibi , O beatissima Trinitas , usum satis perfectum Crurium dedisti mihi , & confirmasti praeter omnium expectationem , gressus meos . Dirigas nunc eos , O Domine , in viis mandatorum tuorum ut nunquam vel inter te & falsum cultum , vel inter te & mundum claudicem ; sed recta pergam , & viam testimoniorum tuorum curram , quum dilatasti cor meum . Oro itaque ne differas vel dilatationem cordis , vel confirmationem pedum in semitis justificationum tuarum , per & propter Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O Eternal God , and my most merciful Father , as this day the fury of the enraged multitude was fierce upon me and my house , to destroy me and to pillage it , it pleased thee in mercy to preserve both , and bring some of them to shame and punishment . I have sinned many ways against thee , O Lord , and this was a loud call of thine and a merciful to bring me to repentance , which I beseech thee give me grace to hear and obey . But what I have done to hurt or offend them , that should stir up this rage against me , I know not . Lord , in thy mercy look down upon me ; fill my heart with thankfulness for this great deliverance , and suffer me not to forget it , or the Examination which I took of my self upon it . And as for them and their like , let them not have their desire , O Lord , let not their mischievous imaginations prosper against me , nor their fury lay hold upon me ; lest they be too proud , and lest I end my wearie days in misery . Yet forgive them , O Lord , for they know not why they did it . And according to thy wonted mercy preserve me to serve thee , and let the same watchful Protection which now defended me , guard me through the remainder of my life . And this for thine own goodness sake , and the merits of my Saviour Iesus Christ. Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , I humbly beseech thee look down upon me in this time of my great and grievous affliction . Lord ( if it be thy blessed will ) make mine Innocency appear , and free both me and my Profession from all scandal thus raised on me . And howsoever , if thou be pleased to trie me to the uttermost ; I humbly beseech thee , give me full patience , proportionable comfort , contentment with whatsoever thou sendest , and an heart ready to die for thy Honour , the Kings Happiness , and this Churches Preservation . And my zeal to these is all the sin ( humane frailty excepted ) which is yet known to me in this particular , for which I thus suffer . Lord , look upon me in mercy , and for the merits of Iesus Christ pardon all my sins many and great , which have drawn down this Judgment upon me , and then in all things do with me as seems best in thine own eyes : and make me not only patient under , but thankful for whatsoever thou dost , O Lord , my strength and my Redeemer . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , after long imprisonment I am now at last called to answer ; I most humbly ●eseech thee to strengthen me through this Tryal , to preserve the patience with which thou hast hitherto blessed me through this affliction . Suffer no course language , or other provocation to make me speak or do any thing that may mis-become my person , mine age , my calling , or my present condition . And Lord , I beseech thee , make me able to clear to the world that Innocency which is in my heart concerning this Charge laid against me . Grant this , O Lord , for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . O merciful Lord , I have had a long and a tedious Tryal : And I give thee humble and hearty thanks for the wonderful strength that I have received from thee in the bearing up of my weakness . Lord , continue all thy mercies towards me , for the storm gathers and grows black upon me , and what it threatens is best known to thee . After a long Tryal I am called to answer in the House of Commons ; and that not to Evidence , but to one single man's report of Evidence , and that made without Oath . What this may produce in present or in future , thou knowest also . O Lord , furnish me with patience and true Christian wisdom and courage , to bear up against this drift , and send not out thy storms to beat upon me also ; but look comfortably upon me to my End , in and through the merits of Iesus Christ my Lord and only Saviour . Amen . Prayers added since the restoring of this Book to me , which was taken from me in a search by Mr. Prinne May 31. 1643 : and with much difficulty restored unto me Nov. 6. 1644. O Domine , ad Adventum tuum secundum paratus sim , ne talem me non invenias , qualem voluisti invenire , qui omnia pro me passus es , ut invenires talem , cui non supplicia inferres , sed praemia redderes sempiterna . Amen . O Domine , cum Christi adjutorio sic agere studeam , ut te tam pium Dominum , non solum hospitem recipere possim , sed etiam perpetuum habitatorem habeam , per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum . Amen . O AEterne Deus , auxilium tuum imploro , ut veram discretionem , et perfectam charitatem praestare mihi pro tua pietate digneris , cui est gloria & imperium cum Patre & Spiritu Sancto in secula seculorum . Amen . O Domine misericors , qui tanta mihi beneficia concessisti , des insuper mihi cum omni humilitate fidem rectam tenere , charitatem integram cum omnibus hominibus conservare , mundo corde & casto corpore tibi Domino meo servire usque ad finem vitae serio laborem , ut post labores desiderabilem illam vocem audire possim ; Euge serve bone , intra in gaudium Domini tui . Amen . Meditationes praeparantes ad Mortem . O Lord , quicken and comfort my soul , for I have sinned against thee . Lord , I call to mind all the years of my life past in the bitterness of my soul for my sin . My misdeeds have prevailed against me , O be thou merciful unto my sin ; O for thy Names sake be merciful unto my sin , for it is great . Amen . Namely and especially , O Lord , be merciful unto me , &c. Herein O Lord be merciful unto thy servant . O Lord , lay not these , nor the rest unto my charge . O let the depth of my sin call up the depth of thy mercies , of thy grace . Lord , let it come , that where my sin hath abounded , grace may supe●abound . Lord , I believe , help thou my unbelief . O Lord , though thou kill me , yet will I put my trust in thee . Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death , yet will I fear no evil . For I hope verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living . O let this Cup pass from me ; nevertheless , if it may not pass from me , but that I must drink of it , thy will be done . Thou art the Lord , do what seemeth good in thine own eyes . For I will take it as the Cup of Salvation , and give thanks to thy Name , O Lord. O Lord , grant that all the dayes of my appointed time upon earth I may wait when my Changing shall come . O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave , and keep me secret until thy wrath be past , and appoint me a time in which thou wilt remember me ! Say unto my soul , O say it now , I am thy Salvation . Command my spirit , whenever thou wilt command it , to be received up to thee in peace . O bid me come unto thee : say unto me , This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise . Lord thus , and now let thy servant depart in peace , that mine eyes may see thy Salvation . O Lord , thou blessed Trinity , three Persons and one God , have mercy upon me . I commend my self into thy hands as to a faithful Creator . Lord , receive thine own Creature , not made by any strange God , but by thee the only living and true God. Despise not , O Lord , the work of thine own hands . I am created to thine own Image and likeness ; O suffer not thine own Image to be defaced , but renew it again in righteousness and true holiness . I commend my self into thy hands , as to a most gracious Redeemer : For thou hast redeemed me , O Lord God of Truth . O Lord , I am the price of thy Blood , of thy most precious Blood ; O suffer not so great , so unvaluable a price to perish . O Lord , thou camest down from heaven to redeem that which was lost ; suffer not that to be lost which thou hast redeemed . I commend my self into thy hands , as to my most blessed Comforter . O Lord , I am weary and heavy laden , and I come to thee to be refreshed by thee . Behold , O Lord , I have been the Temple of thy holy Spirit ; I have I confess , strangely polluted it ; yet destroy me not , but dedicate me anew , and sanctifie me to thy self yet once again . O Lord , I wear thy Name : 't is thy Name that is called upon me . For thy Names sake therefore be merciful unto me . O spare , Lord , if not me , yet thine own Name in me . And do not so remember my sin , O Lord do not , as that in remembring it , thou forget thine own Name . I have desired to fear thy Name , to love and to honour thy Name . And I now desire to depart this life , in the Invocation and Confession of thy Name . Lord , I confess it and call upon it , O come Lord Iesu. Amen . Peccavi O Domine ! Sed non negavi te : O nunquam praevaleat Inimicus ut negem . Sed credo ; O Domine adauge fidem , & non confundar in aeternum . Sed spero ; et quae spes mea nisi tu solus ? suscipe me secundum eloquium tuum , & non confundar ab expectatione mea . Sed praeparavi & direxi cor meum ad te quaerendum : & etiamsi non secundum munditiem Sanctuarii , tamen linum fumigans , & quassam arundinem nec extinguas nec frangas , O Domine Jesu . Sed patienter sustineo castigationem tuam , & taceo quia tu fecisti . Sed remitto debitoribus meis , et tu pollicitus es remissionem remittenti . Sed projicio me in te ; ne te subtrahas , & venientem ad te ne ejicias foras . Sed in Nominis tui confessione & invocatione opto decedere . Quare non propter me , O Domine Jesu , aut quicquam mei , sed propter temetipsum . Propter Nomen tuum . Propter gloriam Nominis tui , & veritatem tuam . Propter misericordias tuas multas , magnas , mirificas . Propter Christum Mediatorem , & Spiritum Paracletum , suscipe reversum ad se , & revertentem ad te . Amen . Et ideo ô Domine Deus meus ! Inter te & me . Christum Sacerdotem , Agnum , Sacrificium . Inter Satanam & me . Christum Regem , Leonem , Triumphum . Inter Peccatum & me . Christi Innocentiam in vita . Inter Poenam peccatorum et me . Christi Satisfactionem , Passionem , Sanguinem . Inter defectum Iustitiae et me . Christi Iustitiam , Obedientiam absolutam . Inter defectum ad Praemium & me .

Inter accusationem Satanae vel propriae Conscientiae , et me . Christum Advocatum . Inter Concupiscentiam & me , Christi Charitatem ostendo , offero , commemoro . Acceptum habe Domine , propter . Christum ipsum . Amen . Peccavi O Domine ! Sed non abscondo peccatum . Sed non excuso . Sed ultro fateor . Sed recogito in amaritudine animae . Sed meipsum propter peccata in te odi : des gratiam , ut judicem & vindicem ; ut non sine venia exeam e vita hac mihi miserrima . Amen . O Lord , I have not only sinned , but provoked thee with many and grievous sins ; yet , I beseech thee , remember that I am bnt flesh , even a wind that passeth and cometh not again . Et plus potest ad salutem misericordia Servatoris , quam ad perniciem nequitia mei peccatoris . Amen . O Domine Jesu , non habebas tu quare morereris , & mortuus es pro me : ego habeo quare , des gratiam ne dedigner mori , et paratus sim. Amen . O Domine Jesu , propter illam amaritudinem quam pro me miserrimo sustinuisti in Cruce ; maxime in illa hora , quando nobilissima anima tua egressa est de benedicto corpore tuo , deprecor te miserere animae meae in egressu suo , & perduc eam in vitam aeternam . Amen , Pro Infirmis . DEus , sub cujus nutibus vitaenostrae momēta decurrunt , suscipe quaeso preces meas pro aegrotantibus famulis tuis , pro quibus humillime misericordiae tuae auxilium imploro . Ut reddita sibi sanitate , gratiarum tibi in Ecclesia tua referant actiones , per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum . Amen . Visitatio Infirmi . EXistimas ne ? Nullum morbum aut crucem casu evenire cuiquam , vel temere . Quin immitti a Deo , citra cujus Providentiā neminē morbo laborare ? Deum autem sapientissimum , ut nihil unquam permittat contingere , nisi quum expedit ? Expedire itaque tibi morbum hunc vel crucem , quem vel quam tibi nunc immisit Deus . Porro Deum Paterno erga nos animo esse . Patrem autem , sive indulgeat sive castiget , aeque Patrem esse : nec minore , & forsan majore hoc quam illud amore facere . Bona tibi diu dedisse , nunc mala dare ; sed nec mala haec , nisi ut majoris boni causa sint , nempe ut redeas ad illum . Gratiae esse hoc , quod toties a te repulsus , tamen nec sic deferat ; quin visitet te denuo , & requirat te . Si sic ; subdes hac in re Divinae voluntati voluntatem tuam , sacrificium omnium ( post Christi ) Deo gratissimum . Confiterisne ? Non tam bene vixisse te quam oportuit ? imo vixisse te male , saepeque & graviter peccasse ? Estne peccatum aliquod praeter vel supra caetera ? vel suntne peccata aliqua , quae gravent Conscientiam tuam , ut peculiaris Absolutionis beneficio tibi sit opus ? Estne scrupulus aliquis circa ea quae sunt Fidei , vel Religionis ? Recogitasne annos elapsos vitae tuae in amaritudine animae tuae ? Cuperesne majorem pro iis amaritudinem sentire , quam sentis ? & gauderesne si sentires ? & doletne quod majorem non sentias ? Petisne illuminari de iis quae ignoras , vel oblitus es , ut de iis poenitere possis ? & poenitetne id etiam quod vel ignoras , vel oblitus es ? Estne propositum si vixeris judicandi ●e , & vindicandi in teipsum quod deliquisti ? Estne propositum si vixeris emendandi vitam , & devitandi tum media , tum signa eorum quae hactenus peccasti ? Hoccine sancte promittis ? An petis de hoc promisso admoneri te libere ? Credisne ? Quae in Symbolo sunt Fidei Christianae semel Sanctis traditae ? Te servari non posse nisi ea credas ? Laetarisne & gratias agis Deo , quod in hac Fide natus es , vixisti , & jam morieris in ea ? Petisne ipse , & visne nos tuo nomine a Deo supplices petere , ne deficiat in te Fides haec ad ipsum , atque adeo ne in ipso mortis articulo ? Petisne etiam ut fructus Fidei hujus , & praecipue Mortis Jesu Christi , utcunque in vita tua periit , tamen ne pereat in morte ? Si te sensus defecerit , aut dolor seu debilitas eousque pertulerit , ut quaedam tibi excidant contra Religionem , seu Praecepta ejus , visne haberi pro non dictis ? & renunciasne iis tanquam non tuis ? Remittisne ? Illis , qui te quocunque modo laeserint , sicut tibi vis remitti ? Petisne a Deo ut ipse quoque illis remittat ? Remittisne illis satisfactionem ad quam tenentur ratione illorum , quibus te verbo vel facto laeserunt ? Visne hoc illis , qui in te peccarunt , tuo nomine significari ; Te illis quantum in te est noxas omnes remisisse ? Remissurusne esses si graviora & plura in te deliquissent ? Gauderesne si plures jam haberes quibus remittere possis , quo inde uberius tibi remissio peccatorum tuorum a Deo impertiri possit ? TU ipse si quos laesisti , petisne ab iis veniam , ut & tibi remittant ? Ecquos imprimis commeministi , & vis significari illis hoc tuo nomine ? Quum remissio nulla sperari potest peccatorum contra octavum vel nonum praeceptum Legis Divinae , nisi fiat restitutio . Paratusne es restituere illis rem , quibus in re familiari ; & illis famam , quibus in fama detraxisti : idque sine dolo , & dila●ione ? Recordarisne qui tandem sint ? Symbolum Apostolicum .

O Lord merciful and gracious , this thy People are preparing to build a place for thy Service : Accept I humbly beseech thee their present Devotion , and make them perfect both in their present and future duty ; that while thou givest them ease to honour thee , they may with the greater alacrity go on in thy Service . And now , O Lord , I have by thy mercy and goodness , put to my hand to lay the first stone in this Building : 't is a Corner-stone , make it , I beseech thee , a happy Foundation , a durable Building . Let it rise up , and be made , and continue a House of Prayer and Devotion through all ages ; that thy People may here be taught to believe in Iesus Christ the true Corner-stone , upon whom they and their souls may be built safe for ever . Grant this for the merit of the same Iesus Christ our most blessed Lord and Saviour . To whom with the Father and the Holy Spirit , be ascribed all Power , Majesty , and Dominion this day and for ever . Amen . Prayers upon sundry Publick Occasions . MOst gracious God , we humbly beseech thee , as for this Kingdom in general , so especially for the High Court of Parliament , under our most Religious and Gracious King at this time assembled ; that thou wouldest be pleased to bless and direct all their Consultations , to the preservation of thy Glory , the good of thy Church , the safety , honour , and welfare of our Soveraign and his Kingdomes . Lord , look upon the humility and devotion with which they are come into thy Courts . And they are come into thy House in assured confidence upon the merits and mercies of Christ ( our blessed Saviour , ) that thou wilt not deny them the grace and favour which they beg of thee . Therefore , O Lord , bless them with that wisdom which thou knowest necessary to speed , and bring great designes into action ; and to make the maturity of his Majesties and their Counsels , the happiness and the blessing of this Common-wealth . These , and all other necessaries for them , for us , and thy whole Church , we humbly beg in the Name and Mediation of Iesus Christ our most blessed Lord and Saviour . Amen . O Eternal God and our most gracious Father , thou art the Lord of Hosts , and the strength of all Nations is from thee : If thou keepest not the City , the Watchman waketh but in vain . And no Victory can wait upon the justest Designs , upon the wisest Counsels , upon the strongest Armies , if thou teach not their hands to warre , and their fingers to fight . Thou art the steady hope of all the ends of the earth , and of them which go and remain in the broad sea . Lord , at this time we need thy more special Assistance both by Land and Sea ; and ●or the mercy of Christ deny us neither . Be with our Armies , and the Armies of our Allies and Associates by Land ; be with our Navy at Sea. Be not from the one , nor from the other in power and in great mercy , until thou hast brought them back with honour and a setled Peace . Lord , turn our Enemies sword into their own bosome : For we sought Peace and ensued it ; and while we did so , they did more then make themselves ready to battel . We are thy servants , truly and heartily sorry for our sins . Lord , forgive them , and then we will trust upon thee , that thou wilt pour down all thy blessings upon this & all other designes and actions of this State , undertaken for thy glory , the honour of our most gracious King CHARLES , and the peace and welfare of this Church and Common-wealth . Grant this we humbly beseech thee , for Iesus Christ his sake our only Mediator and Advocate . Amen . Most gracious God , we humbly beseech thee pardon and forgive all our many , great and grievous transgressions . We may not hope thou wilt take off thy punishments , until thou hast forgiven our sins . We may not think thou wilt forgive our sins , until our humiliation and repentance come to ask forgiveness . We have been too slow to come , and now thou hast apparell'd thy Mercy in Justice , to force us to thee . Lord , we believe , but do thou increase our Faith , our Devotion , our Repentance , and all Christian Vertues in us . At this time the viols of thy heavy displeasure drop down upon us , and while we smart under one Judgment , thou threatnest the rest . The Pestilence spreads in our Streets , and so as if it sought whom to devour . No strength is able to stand against it , and it threatens to make Families , nay , Cities desolate . While the Pestilence eats up thy People , we hear the sound of War , and the Sword calleth for such as it would devour . In the mean time the heavens are black over us , and the clouds drop leaneness ; and it will be Famine , to swallow what the Pestilence and the Sword shall leave alive , unless thou send more seasonable weather to give the fruits of the earth in their season . Our sins have deserved all this and more , and we neither do nor can deny it . We have no whither to go but to mercy . We have no way to that , but by the Alsufficient merit of thy Son our blessed Saviour . Lord , for his merit and mercies sake look down upon us thy distressed servants : Command thine Angel to stay his hand , and remember that in death we cannot praise thee , nor give thanks in the pit . Go forth with our Armies when they go , and make us remember that all our strength and deliverance is in thee . Clear up the Heavens over us , and take not from us the great plenty with which thou hast crowned the Earth : but remember us , O thou that feedest the Ravens when they call upon thee . Lord , we need all thy mercies to come upon us , and thy mercies are altogether in Christ , in whom , and for whose sake we beg them of thee , who livest and reignest in the unity of the Spirit , one God , world without end . Amen . O Eternal God and most merciful Father , we humbly beseech thee be merciful unto us , and be near to help us in all those extremities which our sins threaten to bring upon us . Our Enemies are strengthened against us , by our multiplied Rebellions against thee . And we deserve to suffer whatever our Enemies threaten . But there is mercy with thee that thou mayest be feared . O Lord , shew us this mercy , and give us grace so to fear thee , as that we may never be brought to fear or feel them . And whensoever thou wilt correct us for our sins , let us fall into thy hands , and not into the hands of men . Grant this for Iesus Christ his sake our only Mediator and Redeemer . Amen . O Eternal God and most gracious Father , we have deserved whatsoever thy Law hath threatned against sinners . Our Contempt of thy Divine Worship is great , and we hear thy Word , but obey it not . Forgive us , O Lord , forgive us these and all other our grievous sins . Give us light in our understanding , readiness and obedience in our will , discretion in our words and actions ; true , serious , and loyal endeavours for the peace and prosperity of Ierusalem , the unity and glory of this Church and State : that so we may love it and prosper in it , and be full of grace in this life , and filled with glory in the life to come , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O most merciful God , we give thee praise and thanks for the wonderful ceasing of the late raging Pestilence in the chief City of this Kingdom and other places . Lord , shew us yet fa●ther mercy , and look upon all parts of this Land with tender compassion . Keep back the destroying Angel , that he enter not into places that are yet free , nor make farther waste in those which are already visited . Comfort them that are sick , preserve them that are sound , receive them that die to mercy , that living and dying , they and we may continue thy faithful servants , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O most gracious God and loving Father , we have felt thy manifold mercies , no Nation more : and we have committed sins against thee , few Nations greater . Enter not into judgment with us , O Lord , but for Christ and his mercy sake , pacifie thine anger , and save us from the malice and cruelty of our Enemies . They are our crying sins that have called them upon us . Let it be an addition to thy wonted mercy , to restrain their fury . To this end , Lord , p●t thy bridle into their mouths , and thy bit between their teeth . Frustrate their designes● and let them find no way in our Seas , nor any path in our Floods : but scatter them with thy tempest , & follow them with all thy storms ; that we being delivered by thy hand , may bless and honour thy Name , devoutly serving thee all our daies , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Lord , thou gracious Governour of all the Kingdoms of the Earth : Look down , we beseech thee , in mercy upon this Realm , & upon all other Reformed Churches . Save and deliver us and them from the hands of all such as threaten our destruction . Protect the person of our Gracious Soveraign , direct his Counsels , go forth with his Armies , be unto him and to us a wall of brass , and a strong tower of defence against his and our Enemies ; that so we being safe through thy mercy , may live to serve thee in thy Church , and ever give thee praise and glory , through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , all peace and strength of Kingdoms is from thee : and lineal Succession is thy great blessing both upon Princes and States ; the great means to preserve unity , and confirm strength . We therefore give thee humble and hear●y thanks , as for all thy blessings , so especially at this time for thy great mercy and loving-kindness to our dread Soveraign , his Royal Queen , and this whole State , in giving her Majesty hope of her long desired Issue , thereby filling their and our hearts with gladness . Lord , go along with thine own blessings to perfect them . Be with her in soul and in body , preserve her from all dangers . Keep her safe to and in the hour of Travel , that there may be strength to bring forth her Joy and our Hope . And make her a joyful Mother of many Children , to the glory of thy great Name , the happiness of his Majesty , the security of this State , and the flourishing of the Church and true Religion amongst us . Grant this , even for Iesus Christ his sake our only Lord and Saviour . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , since lineal Succession is under thee , the great security of Kingdoms , and the very life of Peace . We therefore give thee most humble and hearty thanks for the great blessing which thou hast again begun to work for our Gracious King CHARLES and this whole State , in giving the Queens Majesty further hopes of a desired and happy Issue . And as we give thee humble and hearty thanks for this , so we pray thee to perfect this great blessing thus begun , to preserve her from all dangers , and to be with her by special assistance in the hour of Travel . Lord , make her a happy Mother of succesful Children , to the increase of thy glory , the comfort of his Majesty , the joy of her own heart , the safety of the State , and the preservation of the Church and true Religion among us . Grant this even for Iesus Christ his sake our only Saviour and Redeemer . Amen . O most merciful God & gracious Father , thou hast given us the joy of our hearts , the contentment of our souls for this life , in blessing our dear and dread Soveraign , and his vertuous Royal Queen with a hopeful Son , & us with a Prince in thy just time and his to rule over us . We give thy glorious Name most humble and hearty thanks for this . Lord , make us so thankful , so obedient to thee for this great mercy , that thy goodness may delight to encrease it to us . Encrease , it good Lord , to more Children , the prop one of another against single hope . Encrease it to more Sons , the great strength of his Majesty and his Throne . Encrease it in the Joy of his Royal Parents , and all true-hearted Subjects . Encrease it by his Christian and happy Education both in Faith and Goodness : that this Kingdom and People may be happy in the long life and prosperity of our most Gracious Soveraign and his Royal Consort . And when fulness of daies must gather time , Lord double his Graces , and make them apparent in this his Heir and his Heirs after him , for all Generations to come , even for Iesus Christ his sake our Lord and only Saviour . Amen . O most gracious God and loving Father , we give thee , as we are bound , most humble and hearty thanks for thy great mercy extended to us and this whole State , in blessing the Queens Majesty with a happy Deliverance in and from the great pains and perils of Child-birth . We humbly beseech thee to continue and encrease this Blessing : to give her strength , that she may happily overcome this , and all dangers else : that his most Gracious Majesty may long have joy in her happy life : that she may have joy in his Majesties prosperity ; that both of them may have comfort in the Royal Prince Charles , the new-born Princess the Lady Mary , and with them in a hopeful , healthful and succesful Posterity : that the whole Kingdome may have fulness of joy in them ; and that both they and we may all have joy in the true honour and service of God : that both Church and Kingdom may be blessed , and their Royal Persons filled with honour in this life , and with eternal happiness in the life to come , even for Iesus Christ his sake our only Lord and Saviour . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , we give thee all humble and hearty thanks for our most Gracious Soveraign Lord King Charles ; both for the gentleness of thy hand in a disease otherwise so troublesome and fearful . And for the mercifulness of thy hand in taking it off : so soon , and so happily . We know and acknowledge before thee our sins , and what grievous punishments they have deserved . But Lord we beseech thee still to remember us in mercy , and long to bless our Gracious King with life and heal●h , and strength , and happiness ; and above all with the fear of thy holy Name : that so he may continue under thee , and over us , a Father of the State , a Patron of the Church , a Comfort to his Royal Queen , till he see his Childrens Children , and peace upon Israel . Grant this good Lord , even for Iesus Christ his sake . Amen . Most gracious God and loving Father , we give thee all humble and hearty thanks for thy great mercy in blessing the Queen's Majesty with a happy Deliverance in and from the great pains and peril of Child-birth . We humbly beseech thee to continue thy mercies towards her , that she may happily overcome this and all other dangers ; that his most Gracious Majesty may long have joy in her most happy life , & both of them comfort in the Royal Prince Charles , & the rest of their Princely Issue ; particularly in the new-born Prince the Duke of York , that they all may prove a healthful , hopeful , and a succesful Posterity ; that both Church and Kingdom may have fulness of joy in them . That their Majesties Royal Persons may be filled with honour in this life , and with eternal happiness in the life to come . And this even for Iesus Christ his sake our only Saviour and Redeemer . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , by whom alone Kings reign , thou Lord of Hosts , and giver of all Victory , we humbly beseech thee to guard our most Gracious Soveraign Lord King Charles ; to bless him in his Person with health and safety , in his Counsels with wisdome and prudence , and in all his Actions with honour and good success . Grant , blessed Lord , that Victory may attend his designes , and that his liege People may rejoyce in thee ; but that shame may cover the face of thine and his treacherous Enemies . Give him , blessed Father , so to settle his Subjects in Peace , and the true fear of thy Divine Majesty , that he may return with joy and honour , and proceed long to Govern his Kingdoms in peace and plenty , and in the happiness of true Religion and Piety all his daies . These blessings , and whatsoever else shall be necessary for him , or for our selves , we humbly beg of thee , O merciful Father , for Iesus Christ his sake our only Mediator and Redeemer . Amen . O Eternal God and merciful Father , by whom alone Kings reign , thou Lord of Hosts and Giver of all Victory : We humbly beseech thee both now and ever to guide & preserve our most gracious Soveraign Lord King CHARLES . To bless him in his Person with health and safety ; in his Counsels with wisdom and prudence , and in all his Actions with honour and good success : especially against those his Traiterous Subjects , who having cast off all Obedience to their Anointed Soveraign , do at this time in Rebellious manner invade this Realm . Grant , Blessed Lord , that Victory may attend his Majesties designs , that his Liege People may rejoyce in thee ; but that shame may cover the faces of thine and his treacherous Enemies , Enable him ( blessed Father ) so to vanquish and subdue them all , that his Loyal Subjects being setled in Peace and the true fear of thy holy Name , he may return with joy and honour , & continue to Govern his Kingdomes in peace and plenty , and in the happiness of true Religion and Piety all his daies . These blessings , and whatsoever else shall be necessary for him , or for our selves , we humbly beg of thee , O merciful Father , for Iesus Christ his sake , our only Mediator and Redeemer . Amen . Quotidie . O Lord , forgive me all my sins that are past . O Lord , strengthen me against all Temptations , especially the Temptations of , &c. O Lord , fill my heart with thankfulness : and I do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for the great deliverance of me from the rage and fury of the Multitude . O Lord , let the same wings of thy merciful protection be spread over me all the daies of my life . O Lord , give me a faithful , a patient , a penitent , a persevering heart in thy service ; that so I may with comfort daily nay hourly expect when my Changing shall come . So Amen , Lord Iesu. Amen . Absolutio . OUr Lord Iesus Christ , who hath left power to his Church to Absolve all sinners , which truely repent and believe in him , of his great mercy forgive thee thine offences . And by his Authority committed to me , I Absolve thee from all thy sins , In the Name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Ghost . Amen . Admissio in Ecclesiam . GOd , who of his mercy hath given you grace to give your self to his Church ; Preserve aud keep you in his Truth , free both from Superstition and Prophaneness . The Lord bless and keep you . The Lord make his face shine upon you , and be merciful unto you . The Lord lift up his countenance upon you , and give you peace in Conscience , and constancy in Truth . And by the power of Ministration committed to me by our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ , I Readmit you into the Fellowship of his Church , in the Name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Ghost , Amen . His Grace's Speech , according to the Original , written with his own hand , and delivered by him upon the Scaffold on Tower-hill , Jan. 10. 1644. to his Chaplain Dr. Sterne , now Lord Arch-Bishop of York . Good People , THis is an uncomfortable time to preach ; yet I shall begin with a Text of Scripture , Heb. 12.2 . Let us run with patience that race which is set before us : Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith , who for the joy that was set before him , endured the Cross , despising the shame , and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. I have been long in my Race , and how I have looked unto Iesus the Author and Finisher of my Faith , he best knows . I am now come to the end of my Race , and here I find the Cross , a death of shame . But the shame must be despised , or no coming to the right hand of God. Iesus despised the shame for me , and God forbid that I should not despise the shame for Him. I am going apace ( as you see ) towards the Red sea , and my feet are upon the very brink of it : An argument ( I hope ) that God is bringing me into the Land of Promise ; for that was the way through which he led his people . But before they came to it , he instituted a Passeover for them . A Lamb it was , but it must be eaten with sowre herbs , Exod. 12. 8. I shall obey , and labour to digest the sowr herbs , as well as the Lamb. And I shall remember it is the Lords Passeover . I shall not think of the herbs , nor be angry with the hands that gathered them ; but look up only to him who instituted that , and governs these . For men can have no more power over me then what is given them from above , S. Iohn . 19. 11. I am not in love with this Passage through the Red-sea , for I have the weakness and infirmity of flesh and blood plentifully in me . And I have prayed with my Saviour , Ut transiret calix iste , that this cup of red wine might pass from me , S. Luke 22. 42. But if not , Gods will , not mine , be done . And I shall most willingly drink of this cup as deep as he pleases , and enter into this Sea , yea , and pass through it in the way that he shall lead me . But I would have it remembred ( Good people ) that when Gods servants were in this boisterous Sea , and Aaron among them , the Egyptians which persecuted them , and did in a manner drive them into that Sea , were drowned in the same waters , while they were in pursuit of them . I know my God , whom I serve , is as able to deliver me from this Sea of blood , as he was to deliver the three Children from the Furnace , Dan. 3. And ( I most humbly thank my Saviour for it ) my resolution is , as theirs was : They would not worship the Image which the King had set up , nor will I the Imaginations which the People are setting up . Nor will I forsake the Temple and the Truth of God to follow the bleating of Ieroboams Calves in Dan and in Bethel . And as for this People , they are at this day miserably misled : God of his mercy open their eyes , that they may see the right way . For at this day the blind lead the blind ; and if they go on , both will certainly into the ditch , S. Luke 6. 39. For my self , I am ( and I acknowledge it in all humility ) a most grievous sinner many ways , by thought , word , and deed : And yet I cannot doubt but that God hath mercy in store for me a poor penitent , as well as for other sinners . I have now upon this sad occasion ransacked every corner of my heart ; and yet I thank God I have not found among the many , any one sin , which deserves death by any known Law of this Kingdom . And yet hereby I charge nothing upon my Judges : For if they proceed upon proof by valuable witnesses , I or any other Innocent may be justly condemned . And I thank God , though the weight of the Sentence lie heavy upon me , I am as quiet within as ever I was in my life . And though I am not only the first Archbishop , but the first man that ever died by an Ordinance in Parliament , yet some of my Predecessors have gone this way , though not by this means . For Elphegus was hurried away and lost his head by the Danes ; Simon Sudbury in the Fury of Wat Tyler and his fellows . Before these S. Iohn Baptist had his head danced off by a lewd Woman : And S. Cyprian Archbishop of Carthage submitted his head to a persecuting sword . Many examples great and good ; and they teach me patience . For I hope my Cause in heaven will look of another die , then the colour that is put upon it here . And some comfort it is to me , not only that I go the way of these great men in their several Generations ; but also that my Charge , as foul as it is made , looks like that of the Jews against S. Paul , Acts 25. 8. For he was accused for the Law and the Temple , i. e. Religion . And like that of S. Stephen , Acts 6. 14. for breaking the Ordinances which Moses gave , i. e. Law and Religion , the Holy Place and the Law , ver . 13. But you will say , Do I then compare my self with the integrity of S. Paul and S. Stephen ? No , far be that from me . I only raise a comfort to my self , that these great Saints and Servants of God were laid at in their times as I am now . And it is memorable that S. Paul , who helped on this accusation against S. Stephen , did after fall under the very same himself . Yea , but here 's a great clamour that I would have brought in Popery . I shall answer that more fully by and by . In the mean time you know what the Pharisees laid against Christ himself , S. Iohn 11. 48. If we let him alone , all men will believe on him : Et venient Romani , and the Romans will come , and take away both our Place and the Nation . Here was a causeless cry against Christ , that the Romans would come . And see how just the judgment of God was . They crucified Christ for fear lest the Romans should come ; and his death was it which brought in the Romans upon them ; God punishing them with that which they most feared . And I pray God this clamour of Venient Romani , of which I have given no cause , help not to bring them in . For the Pope never had such a Harvest in England since the Reformation , as he hath now upon the Sects aud Divisions that are amongst us . In the mean time , by honour and dishonour , by good report and evil report , as a deceiver and yet true , am I passing through this world , 2 Cor. 6. 8. Some particulars also I think it not amiss to speak of . 1. And first , this I shall be bold to speak of the King our gracious Soveraign : He hath been much traduced also for bringing in of Popery . But on my Conscience ( of which I shall give God a present account ) I know him to be as free from this Charge as any man living : And I hold him to be as sound a Protestant according to the Religion by Law established , as any man in his Kingdom ; and that he will venture his life as far and as freely for it . And I think I do or should know both his affection to Religion , and his grounds for it , as fully as any man in England . 2. The second particular is concerning this great and populous City ( which God bless . ) Here hath been of late a fashion taken up to gather hands , and then go to the great Court of the Kingdom , the Parliament , and clamour for Justice ; as if that great and wise Court , before whom the Causes come which are unknown to the Many , could not or would not do Justice but at their appointment ; a way which may endanger many an innocent man , and pluck his blood upon their own heads , and perhaps upon the Cities also . And this hath been lately practised against my self : the Magistrates standing still and suffering them openly to proceed from Parish to Parish without check . God forgive the setters of this , withall my heart I beg it : but many well-meaning people are caught by it . In S. Stephens case , when nothing else would serve , they stirred up the people against him , Act. 6. 12. And Herod went the same way : when he had killed S. Iames , yet he would not venture upon S. Peter , till he found how the other pleased the people , Acts 12. 3. But take heed of having your hands full of blood , Esai . 1. 15. For there is a time best known to himself , when God above other sins makes Inquisition for blood . And when that Inquisition is on foot , the Psalmist tells us , Psal. 9. 12. that God remembers ; but that 's not all , he remembers , and forgets not the complaint of the poor , i. e. whose blood is shed by Oppression , ver . 9. Take heed of this : 'T is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God , Heb. 12. but then especially , when he is making Inquisition for blood . And with my prayers to avert it , I do heartily desire this City to remember the Prophecy that is expressed Ierem. 26. 15. 3. The third particular is the poor Church of England . It hath flourished , and been a shelter to other neighbouring Churches , when storms have driven upon them . But alas now it is in a storm it self , and God only knows whether or how it shall get out . And which is worse then a storm from without , it is become like an Oak cleft to shivers with wedges made out of its own body . And at every cleft profaneness and irreligion is entring in ; While ( as * Prosper speaks ) men that introduce profaneness are cloaked over with the name Religionis Imaginariae , of Imaginary Religion : for we have lost the Substance , and dwell too much in Opinion . And that Church , which all the Jesuits machinations could not ruine , is fallen into danger by her own . 4. The last particular ( for I I am not willing to be too long ) is my self . I was born and baptized in the bosome of the Church of England established by Law. In that Profession I have ever since lived , and in that I come now to die . What clamours and slanders I have endured for labouring to keep an Uniformity in the external Service of God , according to the Doctrine and Discipline of this Church , all men know , and I have abundantly felt . Now at last I am accused of High-treason in Parliament , a crime which my soul ever abhorred . This Treason was charged to consist of two parts , An endeavour to subvert the Laws of the Land : and a like endeavour to overthrow the true Protestant Religion established by Law. Besides my answers to the several Charges , I Protested mine innocency in both Houses . It was said , Prisoners Protestations at the Barre must not be taken . I must therefore come now to it upon my death , being instantly to give God an account for the truth of it . I do therefore here in the presence of God and his holy Angels take it upon my death , that I never endeavoured the Subversion either of Law or Religion . And I desire you all to remember this Protest of mine for my innocency in this , and from all Treasons whatsoever . I have been accused likewise as an Enemy to Parliaments : No , I understand them , and the benefit that comes by them too well to be so : But I did dislike the misgovernments of some Parliaments many wayes , and I had good reason for it ; for Corruptio optimi est pessima . And that being the highest Court , over which no other hath jurisdiction , when 't is misinformed or misgoverned , the Subject is left without all remedy . But I have done . I forgive all the world , all and every of those bitter Enemies which have persecuted me ; and humbly desire to be forgiven of God first , and then of every man. And so I heartily desire you to joyn in prayer with me . O Eternal God and merciful Father , look down upon me in mercy , in the riches and fulness of all thy mercies . Look upon me , but not till thou hast nailed my sins to the Cross of Christ , not till thou hast bathed me in the blood of Christ , not till I have hid my self in the wounds of Christ ; that so the punishment due unto my sins may pass over me . And since thou art pleased to trie me to the uttermost , I most humbly beseech thee , give me now in this great Instant , full patience , proportionable comfort , and a heart ready to die for thine honour , the Kings happiness , and this Churches preservation . And my zeal to these ( far from arrogancy be it spoken ) is all the sin ( humane frailty excepted , and all incidents thereto ) which is yet known to me in this particular , for which I come now to suffer : I say in this particular of Treason . But otherwise my sins are many and great ; Lord pardon them all , and those especially ( what ever they are ) which have drawn down this present judgment upon me . And when thou hast given me strength to bear it , do with me as seems best in thine own eyes , Amen . And that there may be a stop of this issue of blood in this more then miserable Kingdom , O Lord , I beseech thee give grace of repentance to all Blood-thirsty people . But if they will not repent , O Lord confound all their devices , defeat and frustrate all their designes and endeavours upon them , which are or shall be contrary to the glory of thy great Name , the truth and sincerity of Religion , the establishment of the King and his posterity after him in their just Rights and Priviledges , the honour and conservation of Parliaments in their just power , the preservation of this poor Church in her Truth , Peace , and Patrimony , and the settlement of this distracted and distressed People under their Ancient Laws , and in their native Liberties . And when thou hast done all this in meer mercy for them , O Lord , fill their hearts with thankfulness , and with Religious dutiful obedience to thee and thy Commandments all their dayes . So , Amen Lord Iesu , Amen . And receive my soul into thy bosom . Amen . Our Father which art in heaven , &c. The Lord Archbishop's Prayer , as he kneeled by the Block . LOrd , I am coming as fast as I can . I know I must pass through the shadow of death , before I can come to see thee . But it is but Umbra mortis , a meer shadow of death , a little darkness upon nature : but thou by thy Merits and Passion hast broke through the jaws of death . So , Lord receive my soul , and have mercy upon me : and bless this Kingdome with peace and plenty , and with brotherly love and charity , that there may not be this effusion of Christian bloud amongst them , for Iesus Christ his sake , if it be thy will. Then he layd his head upon the Block , and after he had prayed to himself , said aloud , Lord receive my Soul , which was the signal given to the Executioner . FINIS .
