O Lord of Hosts, Almighty and eternal God, whose high and glorious name is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords: hear from heaven thy dwelling place the prayers and supplicatious of us thy servants, assembled together to sight thy battles against the enemies of thy truth and gospel, many in number and most maliciously bent are they that are risen by against us: But if thou (O Lord) be with us, we will not fear what man can do against us; As our hope of help is in thee, so let our help and assistance be from thee, send thy blessed Angels to keep us in all our ways, direct and prosper our counsels, encourage our hearts and strengthen our hands, grant us victory in the day of Battle, and perfect thy strength in our weakness, strike the hearts of our enemies with thy terrors, disperse their numbers, make vain their devices, and glorify thy power and wisdom in our safety, and their conversion or confusion, O Lord of Hosts convert them in thy mercy, or avenge upon them their Treason and disloyalty towards thine anointed, Our dread sovereign, return into their bosoms the blood of our brethren, which they have shed with cruelty, and upon their heads the mischiefs which they have wrought, wash away the guilt of all our sins by the blood of thy son Jesus Christ, which was shed as a ransom for us all; sanctify our hearts by the grace of thy holy spirit, that our sins cause not the removal of thy presence from us, sanctify our camp, and dwell therein, and grant the event and success of this our present warfare, m●y be the advancement and establishment of the true ancient Catholic, Apostolic Protestant Faith, the rooting out of popery, Idolatry and superstition, the conversion of this rebellious seduced Nation unto loyalty and obedience of thy gospel, the honour and contentment of our gracious sovereign King CHARLES, the settlement of peace in this desolate kingdom, and the glory of thy great and fearful name, and that for the merit of thy only son Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
