PRAYERS to be used in all Cathedral, Collegiate, and Parochial Churches, and Chapels, within this Kingdom, during this time of Public Apprehensions from the danger of Invasion, and to be added to the daily Office both Morning and Evening, immediately after the Prayers for the King, and for the Royal Family. By His Majesty's special Command. For Repentance. ALmighty God and most merciful Father; We miserable Sinners do here humbly acknowledge before Thee, That we are unworthy of the least of all thy Mercies. We confess, O Lord, in the bitterness of our Souls, that we have grievously sinned against Thee; that all Orders of Men amongst us, have transgressed thy righteous Laws; that we have hitherto rendered both thy Mercies and thy judgements ineffectual to our Amendment. It is of thy mere Mercy, O Lord, that we are not consumed; for which our Souls do magnify and bless thy Name. O God, who hast hitherto spated us, to the end, that thy Goodness might lead us to Repentance; let it be thy good pleasure, to give unto us all that godly sorrow, which worketh Repentance to Salvation, not to be repent of; that thou mayest turn from thy heavy displeasure against us; and mayest rejoice over us to do us good, through the Merits and Mediation of jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour. Amen. For the King. O Almighty God, the blessed and only Potentate, We offer up our humble Supplications and Prayers to thy Divine Goodness, beseeching thee in this time of Danger to save and protect our most gracious King; Give thy Holy Angels Charge over Him; Preserve His Royal Person in Health and Safety; Inspire him with Wisdom and justice in all His Counsels; Prosper all His Undertake for thy Honour and Service with good Success; Fill His Princely Heart with a Fatherly Care of all his People, and give all his Subjects grace always to bear Faith and true Allegiance to His Majesty, that both King and People joining together to promote thy Glory, and conscientiously discharging their Duties in their several Stations, may all give Thee Thanks and Praise for thy most mighty Protection, and for all other thy great Mercies vouchsafed to Us, through jesus Christ thy Son, our Saviour. Amen. For Peace, and Unity. O Lord God, our only hope in time of need; Save and Deliver us we humbly beseech Thee from all those Dangers that threaten us; Give Peace in our days, O Lord, if it be thy will, and prevent the Effusion of Christian blood in our Land; Reconcile all our Dissensions, and heal all our Breaches: Preserve that Holy Religion we profess, together with our Laws and Ancient Government; Unite us all in unfeigned and universal Charity one towards another, and in one and the same Holy Worship and Communion; That with one heart and one mouth we may glorify thy Holy Name, and show forth thy praise from Generation to Generation: And this we beg for the sake of jesus thy Beloved, in whom thou art well pleased; to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory now, and evermore. Amen. The Collect appointed for the fifth Sunday after Trinity, and that for the fifth after Epiphany, or either of them may here also be used. His Majesty's Pleasure is, That these Prayers be forthwith Printed. Whitehall the 11th day of October, 1688. Sunderland, P. London, Printed by C. Bill, H. Hills, and T.
