A FORM OF PRAYER To be Used Next after the Prayer in the time of War and Tumults, in all Churches and Chapels of London and Westminster.  
ALmighty and most glorious Lord God, the great Creator and Governor of all things, who, when thou didst divide the Nations, and determine the Bounds of their Habitation, wast pleased of thy especial Goodness to the Inhabitants of this Land, to encompass it with the Sea, as a Wall of Defence to us on every side; so that we are not, like the Nations about us, exposed to continual Invasion, and especially at this time, to the Ravage and Fury of the common Enemy and Oppressor: We bless thy Name for this happy Advantage which thy Providence hath given us for the Security of these Islands, and likewise for the timely Preparations which thou hast enabled us to make for the Guard of our Seas. We do not trust in our Naval Force, neither will our Ships save us: Vain are all these helps without thee, O God our Defence, and the Rock of our Salvation. Thou therefore who commandest the Winds and the Seas, and they obey thee, show thy Power, we beseech thee, in rendering them favourable to us in this Expedition. Be thou a present help to them that fight for us in all their Necessities. Gird them with strength unto Battle, subdue those that rise up against them. Bring them back with Victory and good Success; that we being delivered from the hand of our Enemies, may serve thee without fear, in holiness and righteousness before thee all the days of our lives, through jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
