A Prayer for HIS MAJESTIES Preservation and Safety, in this His present imminent Danger.  
OMnipotent God, upon whose alone disposition all things depend; We aclowledge and bewail before thy divine majesty, that our walking unworthy of the late light of the Gospel, and glorious presence amongst us; hath most justly begot thy dereliction, and the giving of us up unto our own vile and corrupt affections,( the seed-plots of our growing calamities) and put the Sword of thy justice, into the hands of cruel men, and skilful to destroy.  
Hence O Lord( through thy just anger) it comes to pass, that thy House, thy beautiful House lies wast, that thine Anointed, our King, his feet are fast in the stocks; and that he is pointed out by men of Belial unto death, and destruction: Our sins( O Lord) the great and crying sins of this Nation are the fountain of these, and all the miseries which flow upon us: We beseech thee, through thine infinite mercy, by the power of thy grace, to stay the course of our sins, to divert the torrent of thy overflowing judgments, and to pardon our transgressions; O remember not against us former iniquities; let thy tender mercy speedily prevent us, for we are brought very low; Help us O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and purge away our sins for thy names sake: return, O Lord, return unto the place of thy worship, and let the light of thy countenance shine again upon the face of thine Anointed; make up the breaches of thy Church, and restore His Majesty; O let the sighing of the Prisoner come before thee according unto the greatness of thy power, preserve thou him who is appointed to die; And now( O Lord) that he is in the power of his Enemies, let his life be precious in thy sight; and make it so in theirs also: Remember him, O Lord, concerning this, and wipe not out the good deeds which he hath done for thy house, and the offices thereof; and because the King trusteth in the Lord, therefore through thy mercy( O most High) let him not miscarry: take from them who have a will to hurt him, power; and from them that have power, take away a will: assuage the fury of their malice, we beseech thee, and convert the cruelty of their hatred,( as thou didst Esau's towards Jacob) into the duty of loyal affection: Thou( O Lord) who onely canst still the raging of the Sea, and the madness of the People; frustrate their intendments, change their purposes, divert their power, alter their wills: And, as to rescue the life of thy Prophet, thou didst first smite the Syrians with blindness; and after didst open their eyes and show them, that there were more with him, than those that were against him: So we beseech thee to defeat the bloody Contrivances, and change the cruel resolutions of those whose design is to take away the Life of thine Anointed our sovereign Lord King charles; show unto their Consciences the great guilt of so horrible impiety; let the power of thy word prevail over the power of their wills; teach them, that thy permission unto such sinful actions doth no way warrant thy approbation, but manifest thy forsaking of them: Therefore( O Lord) in mercy unto His Majesty; unto them, unto us, and unto the three kingdoms, oppose powerful impediments, and sufficient hindrances unto their perverse purposes; awe them with thy fear, and make them afraid to stretch forth their hands against thine Anointed. And thou( O Lord) who hast the sole direction, and limitation of sin; and onely canst bring good out of evil; bring good out of the evil of these mens sin; bring good thereout unto thy Church, Safety and Honour unto His Majesty, and Peace and tranquillity unto these kingdoms, by subduing the affections of His People under thy Vicegerent, by restoring them unto their former, loyal, and Christian subjection unto Him, and by uniting all His Subjects in the fast bond of mutual love, and Christian kindness one towards another.  
Thou( O Lord) who gavest thine onely begotten son for thy Church, hear our Prayers for thy Church, and for thy Churches sake; hear us for our sovereign the nursing Father of this Church, and that for thy Words sake, and for thy Christs sake, Unto whom with thee, and the Holy Ghost, be ascribed all praise, power, and dominion, now and for ever, Amen.
