A Praier .

OH almightie , euer liuing , & most merciful Lorde God the dere father of our lord and sauiour Iesus Christe , and through him our most gratious good father , whose prouidence is ouer al , whose wisdom and righteousnes is sene ouet al , as thi mercy , euen in the middest of most miseries is tasted of all . In dede we haue deserued most horrible plages , by reason of our vnthankfulnes , contempt and slaundrous abusing of thy most holy gospel , which most plenteously & putely thou diddest geue vs , with such a Prince to propagate and set furth the same , as neuer sith England was Christened , was known the like . We I say haue deserued , not onely the taking awaye of this our deare Prince , and the benefite of the mistery of thy pure gospel , but also all other most terrible plages , that can be deuised : for great and hainous are our offences , & therfor iust thou Psa , cxix . art , & righteous are thy iudgements if ( as thou hast begunne ) thou shalt continue to poure out vppon vsthy searful plagues and indignations . But gratious Lorde , in thine anger , bicause thou art accustomed to remember Psal. ciii . merci , and ful wel knowest , wherof we are made , & what we at able to beare : we besech the which art rich in mercy , and plentiful to all Roma . x. them that cal vpon the , that for thi names sake through Christ , thou woldest correct vs acording to thy swete Psal. vi . mercye , and not in thy soure fury & indignation . Much better it is for vs ( deare father ) and more tollerable , that we should yeld our selues into ●● . Samu. xxiiii . thy handes , to be chastened of the , then to fall into the hands of thy enemies , as Dauid praied . For great is thy mercy , against the , against the Psalm. li. only haue we sinned , and broken thi holy commaundements . But louing Lord , and almightie God , & father wel thou knowest , we haue not sinned against the deuil , the world , the pope & his prelates , neither against the quenes highnes , and politik maiestrates of the Realme , so that iustly haue thei no right or power to punish vs . How be it thou mayest iustly vse them as thi fearse rodde against vs . But good God and heauenly father , against them haue we not behaued oure selues , that rightly and iustly , thei can be thought to punish vs : Yea , rather thei wishe , that with them horribly we would displease and sinne against thee , for nothing shuld it greue them , if we were horrible rebels against the , blasphemers of thi name , idolaters , worshippers of stockes and stones , false seruers of the , adulterers , theues , dronkerds murtherers , glottons , oppressours , and altogether ouerwhelmed in mischief . But this is our sinne , and offence against them : bicause we prech , beleue , and confesse the , God the father Iohn . xvii , to be the true and only God , & Iesus Christ thi dere sonne to be the i. Cor. viii only Lord , Sauiour , Bishop , Prist , & mediatour : and the holy spirit to be Math. i. Heb. vii . i. Tim. iiii Iohn . xiiii xv . & . xvi . Psal. cxix . the only comfortor , viuificator , coum celour and master of all truth , & thy written worde , to be the lantern of our feet , the sufficient doctrine of our saluation . This dere Lord is a sinne against them : bicause we wil not serue the , after the tradicions of men . But as in thy worde , by thy sonne and Apostles , thou hast taught vs , there i. Tim. iii fore are thei angry , wroth , and persecute vs . If we wold worship bread Heb. vii . ix . & . x. instead of Christ , cast of our care and Crede of the satisfactori and propiciatory sacrifice , whiche thy sonne our Lorde , did make once for all , in his owne body himselfe , to the perfect sanctifying foreuer , of all that shal be saued : and come and bi their propiciatory sacrifices in that idoll the masse . Yf we wold cast of thy commaundements , to folow good intentes , to serue the in a tong we know not , to prai vnto sain tes , to bie pardons , to runne a pilgrimage gate going , to offer candels & tapers to images , to bie trentals , dirigies : to say as they say , and do as thei do , submitting our selues to the faith of the Antichristian popysh & diuelish church , cleane contrary from the faith of thy catholicke and true church , which is grounded and builded vpon thi dear child Iesus Christ , who as he is the foundation , so is he 1. Cor. iii. the fulnesse of al , whereof we al receyue , & the very glew which coupleth Ephe. i , & knitteth together euery one of vs , to grow & go forwardes into a Collos. i. perfect man , being made of thee vnto Iohn . i. vs , wisdome , righteousnes , sanctifying , and redemption , that our reioysing Ephe. iiii . might be in him , which also is our head , from whom commeth our i. Cor. i. life , by the woorkyng of his spirite , which is kept alwaies aliue in vs , so Ephe. i. long as we sucke of the bloud & natural ioyse which descendeth from our head into the members , that is to Phil. ii . say : so long as we stycke and abyde by his written word & Gospell , not suffering the same to putrifie & corrupt , by admitting false gloses and expositions of mens own braynes & deuises , not contained in thy booke of the Byble . I sai deare Lord , if we would do thus , leauing the water in the wel of life , & drink of their dyrtie dygged pittes and cestorns , then shoulde we haue peace with them , then would not the diuel rage , then would the world wrestle no more against vs , then wold the Pope & his prelates promote vs , then wold the quene be mercifull , & the Magistrats our good masters , euen as thy deare child saith : If you wer of the world , Iohn . xvi the worlde woulde loue his owne . Here therfore looke downe , O merciful father towards vs , and a fearce iudge towards al such our enemies , as are not to be conuerted , for they are no lesse thine enemies then ours ▪ so that in perse cuting vs , they persecute the , and punish the. For this word which we preach , beleue and confesse , is not our worde , but thy word , not our expositions or construinges , but the expositions and construinges of thy holye Spirite . This geare the deuyll can not abyde , but would haue this place , and be to vs a god . The Pope & his prelats wold raigne in mens consciences , and for gods word , they woulde haue vs to beleue theyr stynckyng tradicions , councels , decrees & lies . The quene and Magistrates , in place of thy son Iesus Christ , woulde place their abhominable idol of bread : in place of our prest , after the order of Melchisedecke , they would place preestes after the order of Baal & Antichrist . In steede of Christes sacrifyce , they wold thrust out vnto vs , an horrible sacriledge , and spoylyng thy sonne Iesus Christ of his glory . If then this be a synne , to stycke to the our God & father , to stycke to thy Christ our Lord , alone sauiour , perfect preest , prophet , bishop , sacrifice , propitiation , propiciatorie , and Medyatour , thy holi spirit our doctour , comfortour , viuificatour , expositour of thy word : and thy written word & gospel , our only square , rule , and line to serue the by : If it be a syn to preach this , beleue this , and after our callinges , euery one of vs to confesse & protest this : then Lorde thou art a synner which commaundest and requirest this of vs . Wherfore awake ( O Lord our God ) sanctifie thy holye name , whiche they blaspheme . Stablishe and strengthen thy kyngdome , which they disturbe in vs , & worke parfectly thy wyl , which thei go about to hinder in vs , and suffer not thy selfe to be troden vnder fote of them , because of the greuousnes of our synnes , for they ( O Lord ) do not punish in vs our synnes , but they seke to suppresse , and wholi to take away thy holye worde ▪ which doth worke in vs : that thou shouldest not be trulye worshipped , & that thou myghtest haue no people to preach the , beleue in the , and confesse the. Oh vouchesafe therefore to heare mercifully , and to graunt graciousli this our poore complaint , deare father of mercy , which hast bydden vs Psal. l. in our nede to cal vpon the , and dost promise that thou wylt heare and helpe vs , so that we shal praise thy name . For Christes sake therfore , in whome thou art well pleased , although in vs for our manifold syns thou hast iust cause to be displeased ( but great is thy mercie ) for his sake ( I saye ) in this our neede helpe vs , in such sorte , as most may be to thy glorye , our consolation , conuercion of suche as are to be conuerted , and subuertion , confusion , and eternall shame of such as seeke thy dishonour , and ar not to be conuerted . For thine is the kingdom , the power & the glory , for euer & euer

Amen .
Another Praier

O Almightite , eternal , and euerliuing Lord , the eternal father of our Lorde Iesus Christ , thou great & moost fearful God , thou that kepest couenaunt & merci , with theim that loue the , and seke to do thy commaundmentes : yea thou , that ( as the Prophet saith ) euen in thy wrath thinkest Abac. iii. vpon mercy : cast doune thy louinge countenaunce vpon thy pore flocke that doth professe the here in England : and regarde the mischief that is imagined against vs .

Consider ( Lord ) howe thei counsail and conuent , against the doctrin , and pore members of thi deare sonne Iesus Christ . We are certaine , that it was thou , which diddest confound the crueltie of the tiraunt Haman , Hest. vii . the enemy of thy people , ouerthrowing him in the mischief that he him self had imagined . And we sureli be leue ( Lord ) that thi hand ( as the prophet saith ) is not shortned , but that Esaye . lv . thou art alwaies hable to healpe , al though our ambicious pride , our vnsaciable couetousnes , our carnal life our careles securitie , & other vnspekeable most greuous offences , haue separated vs from thee , & our sinfull infidelitie hath caused the to turne thy face from vs , & not to heare vs . we confesse Lord , that we haue sinned excedingli , we haue bene disobedient Dani. ix . & gon backe from thi preceptes & iudgementes : we wold neuer faithfully folow thy seruantes the Preachers , whyche spake vnto vs in thy name truly as thou commaundest them , but rather we gaue eare to the enchauntings of the popish charmers , & folowed the vaine enticements of the wicked world , liuing & waloing in the lustes , delites & appetites of our fraile flesh and carnal securitye , flattering our selues in such faults & naughtines , wherein we put our pastime & feliciti . wherfore this crosse ( yea rather this cursse ) is iustlye for our vnthankfulnes poured vpon vs . Vnto vs ( O Lorde our God ) belongeth open shame & confusion , but yet vnto the pertaineth mercye and forgeuenes . we haue sinned ( o lord ) and done wickedlye agaynst all thy righteousnes : yet let thy wrathfull displeasure be turned away ( we beseche thee ) from vs thy feable flock and poore miserable afflicted congregacion , And in thys ( O LORD ) shal thi goodnes be declared , magnified , and pray sed , if thou be mercifull vnto vs myserable wretches , which are not rich in good workes . iiii . Esd●● viii . Be not alwayes wroth at vs ( O lord ) but spare thi people , and haue mercye vpon thyne owne congregacion . O be mercyfull vnto vs .

Beholde Lorde , howe thyne enemies haue entred thine enheritaunce , Psa ▪ lxix . and daylye defyle thy holy temple . Se how thy word is shut vp , & with holden from thy congregacion , so that thi flocke is like to famish for lacke of foode . Lo , we are become an open shame to our neighbours , yea a veri scorne & laughing stocke to al that dwel about vs . O remember not our old sinnes & offences , but haue mercie vpon vs , and that quickly , for cls we are come to great miserie ▪ Helpe vs ( O Lord our sauiour ) for the glori of thine own name : Let not the enemies triumphe ouer vs , lest they saye , that we haue no God .

O regarde the sorowfull sighyng of the prisoners that lye in bandes for thy glorious gospel and wordes sake , & let their teares ascend vp into thy presence : & according to the greatnes of thy power , preserue & strengthen those that ar appointed to the slaughter , for professyng of thy holy worde & name . Suffer not Math. vii the dumme dogges to turne againe , & with their teethe to teare in pieces , the true teachers of thy holy word . Suffer them not to sucke the bloud of such as haue purely preached thi truth . Suffer not the swynish sorte of Sodomites , to treade in the myre that precious pearle the gospell of thy glory , the only schole and learning of our saluation . O Lord , suffer Gen , xxvi not these proude Philistines , to stoppe vp thy swete springes of lyuing water , & instede therof to make vs drink perforce , of their stincking puddles of abhominable popyshe masses & mens imagined traditions . Suffer not the stout sturdie rammes with their filthie fete , to tread doun & trouble the pure pasture , & faire Ezechiel . xxxiiii . fountaine of thy holy word , prepared to fede & refresh thi flock withal . Suffer not the sede of Antichrist , the sonnes of perdicion , to sette vp them selues , & their owne vaine inuencions to be embraced & honoured instede of the. Suffer not them ( O Lord ) to bring this thy churche of England backe agayne , in to the blinde bondage of that bloudy Babilon , the bawdye beast of Rome . And for as much as the harts of Prin ces , magistrats , & gouernors ar in thi hand , suffer not lord , these subtil forcerers , so to be witch & enueagle the quenes highnes ( whom thou , hauing for our vnworthines & hainous offences taken thy blessed seruaunt & confess our Edward the .vi. our late most christen king & Gouernour from vs , hast of thy wonderful power , placed in the roial seate of this realme ) from the hearing & readyng of thy blessed woorde , whereat she bothe might & ought to learne her duetie . Suffer them not ( for thy mercyes sake , O lord ) to withstand the truth , & to kepe her grace backe , from the knowledge of thy gospel , which is the onli rote , wherof true faith springeth : no more than thou suffredest their auncient grandfather Elimas the Acte . xiii . Sorcerer , to preuaile against Paule , preaching to the prudent grouernor Sergius Paulus , whom the said Elimas sought to turne away from the faith . O lord open the eies of the nobiliti of England , & strengthen their harts with thy spirite of strength & magnanimiti , that thei become no more subiects to the proud popish prelates , & shameles shauelings the Angels of satan , not be made their slaughtermen and sheadders of gyltles bloud ( as in times past ) in murthering thy prophets & ministers , & so prouoke thy wrath & vengeance , to the vtter confusion of this English realm & nacion ▪ whom thou hast adourned , & mercifulli blessed with so mani bounteous gyftes : But as thou dyddest moue the harts of the princes & nobiliti of Hierusalem , to help & deliuer Ieremithi prophet . from the handes Iere. xxvi of the prests , which cried out vpon him , & sought his death , because he earnestlie & sincerelie preached thi word , euen so lord stir vp the hartes of our nobiliti & magistrats , that thei maie be vnfained fauourers of thy truth , & of the teachers therof , and so to kepe their hands cleane from innocent bloud . Geue grace , O Lord to the counsail of England , that thei may faithfully fauour thi blessed Bible : & endue them with the spirit of thy counsail , to occupie them selues in the studie therof , according to the counsaile of the most noble kyng Dauid : Be ye learned you that iudge the earth : so as they being our guydes & gouernours , mai serue the in feare & trembling , and apply their endeuours to gouerne according to thi rule , and ordinaunce . Put thi spirit of strength , vertue , boldnes ▪ sobrietie and loue ( O gracious Lord ) into the harts of the states of this realme , aswel the nobilitie & gentilmen as the commons of the same , that they al together agreeing in thi truth , repenting them of theyr horrible sinnes , wher with thei haue most greuously offended thi hie maiestie , & linking their hartes together in a vniforme concord , peace & christian loue of minde faithfully one to another , hauing the alwaies before theireies , & beigaided with the most mighty protection of thi stretched out arme , suffer not thi holi sacred word nor thi blessed & most confortable sacraments , after this lamentable sorte to be blasphemed & banished awaye from vs , by these bloudy Edomites , & shauen swarme of Sodomites , the chaplaines of Baal , our popish pestiferous prelates , nor thy realme & heritage of England & Calise with the dominions and members of the same , to be deuoured , ouertunned , betraied , nor brought to slauery or confusion , through domestical or foraine cruell warre , or by ambicious coulourable meanes of craftie confederacie , subtil fetches , rauenous desires , or forceable power of vnnaturall forainers & straunge nacions , deuised or brought in by the sleighti enticements or traiterous conspiracie , of popish prestes and their adherentes ( the enemies of thi glorious gospel ) vnder pretence of honour , frendshyp , common weale , & safegarde of the realme , which haue the befor their eies ▪ but secretli mind or not regarde the daunger of subuersion & ruine of thi realme & people of England , for the aduauncing & settyng vp of their god Moasim . in their abhominable idolatrous masses , and other supersticious wykednes , & to the entent to restore Antichrist of Rome the deuils vicare vpon earth , into hys pristine tirannous power , & estate here in England again , to sit in the consciences of thi people , & ( his wound , whiche the stroke of thi mighti spirituall sword gaue him here among vs , being healed again ) to make hauocke of thi chosen flocke , whom thou boughtest with the price of thi deare sonne our onli sauiour Iesus Christes most precious heart bloude . And although ( O Lord ) our froward necligence , our impenitent behaucour , & carnal disobedience towards thi holy law , haue caused the iustly to take the libertie & fre vse therof awai from vs , & leaue vs ▪ to our selues in the sluttish swine tubbes and dirtie dregges of idolatrie , supersticion and barborous ignoraunce : Although our stubburnes & wilful repyning against the gospel like gouernement , and prudent procedings of our most learned , merciful , wife , louing , & natural English christian soueraygne liege lord thi seruaunt Edward the .vi. late king & gouernour of this realme , deserueth an insolent mocker , an enemie of thi truth & testament , an vnnatural forainer , & a merciles oppressor to haue rule & gouernment ouer vs : albeit our couetous cloining , beastlishe bribing , extreme extorcioning , deuylish deceiuing , spightful spoyling , & rauenous robbing of our natural brethren & countrimen , iustly demerite the inuasion of bloudi tiraunts , and proud straungers , to spoile and strip vs of al that is our own , house , land , goodes , substaunce & liberti , although the adultrie , fornication , filthy whoremonging , rude ribawdrye , and lycencious life of vs Englishmen , in abusing other mens wiues , & defiling virginity , might occasion the rauishing & defilyng of our wiues , daughters and maidens , bi pocky papists , forain fraikes , & lecherous epicures , that contemne chast mariage , & puritye of life : although our proude lokes , our parcial parttaking , and contempt of our poore brethren , & nedy neighbours : albeit ( I say ) our petuerse persecuting , merciles murthering , & shameful sheading of innocent bloud , prouoke iust recompence of tirannie , murther , & bloudshed vpon vs , by the hands of stout straungers and braue souldiours : & generally , although our manifold sinnes , infidelitie , & wikednes haue vndoutedly earned & deserued ( O Lord ) thi terrible curse & vengeaunce ▪ for breaking of thy most sacred holi law and blessed commaundements , to be poured vpon vs , in town and in fielde , vpon our bodies & children , vpon the frutes of our grounde , our cataile and al that we haue : yea & though we deserue to be dryuen out of our natural countri , and to be beaten downe , & slame of our enemies , & to be plaged withal the curses mencioned in the blessed boke of thi seuere De. xxviii law & iustice ( as we euen from the bocome of our hartes confesse , we haue don in dede ) yet O most gracious lord whose mercy is aboue al thy works , & hast promised by thi prophet , that in Eze. xviii what hour soeuer a sinner groneth , & repenteth him of his sinnes , thou wilt gracioussi heare him , & remember his sinnes no more . we thi miserable creatures , most humbly be sech thi fatherly goodnes & mercy ▪ bi the merites of thi deare sonne our Lord Iesus Christ , forgeue vs our wickednes , forsake vs not , leaue vs not as Orphanes , confortles & helples .
