A godly and zealous prayer, to be used of every Christian and dutiful Subject, for the preservation of our most sovereign Lady Elizabeth, by the grace of God, of England, France, and Ireland Queen: and in all causes as well ecclesiastical as temporal, next under God of the Church of England and Ireland supreme Governess.

Continue we beseech thee, (O most gracious Father and eternal God) this thine inestimable love, and undeserved favour unto us although we have justly by the means of our grievous contempt of thy graces, our innumerable wickednesses and immeasurable ingratitude deserved the contrary: yet for thy son Christ his sake, most gracious God and loving Father, lay not the multitude of our sins to our charge, but be merciful unto us, that with bitter tears sue unto thee for thy mercy, love, and fatherly favour.  
Uphold we beseech thee amongst us, as graciously thou hast done hitherto, the sincere preaching of thy Gospel, (O most mighty jehova) and give us grace without wavering, to hold fast the staff of thy blessed promises, and to believe without feigning the sacred testimonies contained in thy holy Law. Keep us good Lord under the wings of thy defence from the seditious and damnable doctrine of Antichrist, that man of sin, which exalteth himself above God, robbing him of his glory and honour, in making our Saviour Christ jesus, insufficient by his painful death and bloody passion, to purchase us the price of our redemption, and thereby to ransom us from the infernal lake of hell and damnation.  
Pluck the seals of ignorance we most heartily beseech thee (O most loving God and heavenly father) from the eyes of all Christian Princes, and at thy good pleasure give unto them the good feeling of thy grace, that by the divine w●rking of the same, they may perfectly understand, and faithfully believe thy holy Gospel. Make them of persecuting saul's, to become converted Paul's, that they with us, and we with them, may glory and triumph in the fall of Babylon, and study in all their and our actions, as it becometh redeemed Christians to advance and set forth the glory of thy holy name.  
And chiefly and especially, (O gracious God and loving father) we commend unto thee in these our prayers and supplications at this present, according to our bounden duties, the estate of thy chosen servant, our sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth. Be thou unto her as thou hast from the beginning to her last ending. O most heavenly father, a Bulwark of defence against all her and our enemies. Weaken and make feeble for thy son Christ his sake we beseech thee the perilous practi●es, and dangerous devices of all perverse and seditious Papists, which endeavour to withstand and resist thy truth, to persecute thee afresh in thy members, and to overthrow thine anointed. Stretch forth thy hand O heavenly Father, and ever defend thy handmaid from those devouring Bulls of Basan, which have bend their horns against her, hardening their hearts in their ungodliness, to work the confusion of so virtuous and godly a Princess. Keep thou (O good Lord) her highness from the murmuring of Dathan, Coran, and Abiram, which envy the godly estate of her government, and let their reward be shame and confusion, which imagine to work her highness any harm.  
Defend thou (O heavenly Father) by the power of thy providence, our happy Heaster, from the conspiracy of all hateful Hamon's, that thirst after the blood of the righteous, intending by treachery to work the spoil of thine inheritance, yea let their devilish devices be brought to nought, and let them perish in their ungodliness, that heave up their hands against thine anointed. Keep her far off good Lord we beseech thee, from all such ambitious minded Absalon's, as have determined to alter the estate of her most gracious government, and let their hire be shame and confusion that have conspired against her and thy people. give her highness power and strength from above, with victorious judith, to draw the sword, and to cut of the heads of all such drunken Holoferneses', as are become drunken with the devilish dregs of Antichrist, superstitious popery and treasonne: yea, let them be taken in their own snares, and fall into the pit which they have digged for the destruction of the innocent. thus we thy poor people shall rejoice in thy wondrous works and make our continual boasts of thy praises. Establish we beseech thee (O good Lord) the throne of her highness, make her an old and aged mother in the house of Israel, to advance the truth of thy testament to re-edify jerusalem, and to pluck up by the roots all such wicked weeds and pestilent plants, as are not grafted by jesus Christ, in the precious vineyard of his eternal truth. Endue her with wisdom from above, garnish her with the health of body and mind: and plant about her as thou hast done from the beginning, even to her last ending, wise and godly counsellors, that by their foresight and her gracious government, sin may be suppressed, virtue advanced, truth maintained, Idolatry defaced, and the horn of thine honour for ever be continually exalted. Increase the number of godly Subjects, and give us grace we beseech thee O eternal God, truly to serve and worship thee, to hate sin, to fly far from the fellowship of the ungodly, and to abound in all obedience, love and duty towards thee and her majesty. And then thou like a loving father and most gracious God, wilt mercifully stretch forth unto us the assured Sceptre of thy everlasting favour: double the days of our sovereign, to our exceeding joy and comfort. Multiply our peace, confound and overthrow all her and our enemies, as well foreign as domestical, power upon us plenti●lly inthiss life, the everlasting dews of thy mercy and grace, and in the world to come, make us partakers of those celestial joys which Christ jesus hath prepared for the number of his elect in his heavenly kingdom: the which God for his son Christ his sake grant us. Amen.
