The
Preface
to
the
insuing
Praiers
and
Meditations
THE
Reader
may
easily
finde
the
Writers
weakenesse
:
yet
in
reading
perchance
he
may
finde
sowmewhat
,
though
it
be
but
simple
,
that
may
informe
his
conscience
,
and
stirre
vp
his
minde
to
better
meditations
.
By
vsing
that
is
good
,
our
inclinations
grow
to
greater
goodnes
;
as
by
the
bad
,
that
that
which
is
euil
becoms
worse
.
In
this
small
and
slender
Tract
of
mine
,
of
Prayers
on
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
on
the
Decalogue
,
or
Tenne
Commandements
.
The
first
containing
the
rule
of
all
our
Prayers
,
deliuered
by
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
who
taught
vs
how
,
to
whom
,
and
for
what
to
pray
.
This
Doctrine
being
the
fountaine
,
and
so
from
it
,
by
vs
,
there
may
flow
stremes
of
pious
Prayers
,
though
our
cesternes
are
but
shallow
,
yet
the
conduit
,
or
rather
Conductor
of
them
,
may
thereby
water
the
fields
of
our
soules
,
and
hearts
with
piety
,
felicitie
,
&
fertilnesse
,
that
so
our selues
and
our
posterities
may
receiue
encrease
of
all
spirituall
&
temporal
blessings
.
The
true
practise
of
Prayer
,
is
as
the
Path-way
to
heauen
,
the
guide
of
our
life
on
earth
,
the
remoouers
of
such
Remoras
,
and
rubbs
as
doe
hinder
vs
here
,
and
doe
stay
vs
from
eternall
happinesse
hereafter
:
For
our
true
beliefe
,
credendorum
,
of
things
to
bee
beleeued
,
which
we
call
the
Creede
,
is
Regula
&
via
vitae
,
the
rule
and
way
of
life
.
So
the
Decalogue
,
or
ten
Commandements
,
being
regula
faciendorum
,
the
rule
of
things
to
be
done
,
is
vita
viae
the
life
of
this
way
.
both
these
making
vp
by
feruent
,
frequent
and
faithfull
prayers
,
our
progression
vnto
eternall
life
.
This
as
a
gate
,
the
other
as
goles
vnto
eternall
glory
;
betwixt
these
two
,
Prayers
are
as
the
Sayles
,
&
the
holy
Spirit
as
the
wings
that
carries
vs
thorow
the
troblesome
waues
of
this
world
,
and
beareth
vs
vp
in
all
tentations
,
afflictions
,
and
calamities
.
In
the
vse
of
Prayers
,
as
of
the
other
parts
of
pietie
,
Humility
is
the
ground
,
Faith
the
foundation
,
Petition
and
thankesgiuing
the
walles
,
eleuated
Meditations
the
roofe
,
&
knowledge
ioyned
with
conscience
,
the
props
and
pillars
.
So
is
holy
prayer
made
scala
caeli
,
the
ladder
that
leades
vs
to
asscend
vnto
heauen
.
Prayer
then
being
the
precious
balme
of
Gilead
,
that
cures
the
festring
sores
of
our
sinnes
;
I
craue
pardon
to
publish
these
my
weake
conceptions
of
Prayers
and
meditations
;
Which
proceedeth
from
no
other
purpose
,
but
to
helpe
the
weake
and
ignorant
,
in
their
well
disposed
devotions
.
To
such
I
say
,
it
is
not
enough
to
pray
much
,
long
and
often
,
except
it
bee
done
with
a
regenerat
,
a
deuout
,
and
an
understanding
hart
,
although
the
saying
was
ancient
:
Breuis
oratio
penetrat
caelum
;
short
Praier
pierceth
the
heauens
.
Yet
it
is
neither
the
length
,
nor
shortnes
of
our
prayer
,
that
mooues
God
vnto
mercy
,
vnlesse
they
be
ioyned
with
a
godly
and
conscionable
vse
of
them
,
in
clensing
and
casting
away
our
corruptions
,
distractions
,
dulnesse
,
coldnesse
,
carnal
cares
&
vaine
imaginations
,
which
presse
vpon
vs
in
the
time
of
Prayer
,
when
it
is
not
the
voyce
,
or
the
sound
of
words
,
but
the
holy
affection
and
pure
desires
of
the
heart
,
with
the
assistance
of
Gods
holy
spirit
,
that
makes
our
prayers
vnto
God
profitable
,
and
powerfull
,
as
the
olde
verse
hath
it
.
Non
vox
,
sed
votum
;
non
cordula
musica
,
sed
cor:
Non
clamans
,
sed
amans
,
cantat
in
ore
Dei
.
Which
signifieth
thus
much
,
Not
voyce
,
but
vowes
;
not
musick
but
the
heart
,
Not
cr●es
but
loue
;
sweet
songs
to
God
impart
.
If
any
man
question
,
why
so
many
treatises
of
prayer
being
published
;
my selfe
or
any
other
should
set
foorth
any
more
;
therein
yet
I
conceiue
it
is
with
the
readers
,
and
specially
with
the
vsers
and
learners
of
Prayers
,
as
with
Phisitians
who
seeking
simples
to
cure
their
Patients
,
goe
not
onely
to
one
garden
,
medow
,
or
fielde
to
gather
them
,
but
vnto
many
:
for
in
some
places
there
grows
of
one
kind
,
in
some
another
sort
.
So
in
the
relish
,
vse
,
&
choise
of
prayers
,
which
is
that
herbe
of
grace
;
Some
desire
such
as
are
short
and
pithy
,
others
make
vse
of
them
that
are
of
good
length
&
waight
.
Besides
,
this
consideration
,
though
I
acknowledge
there
are
diuers
excellent
treatises
of
Prayers
,
yet
I
haue
seldome
seene
any
,
that
haue
closly
and
punctually
handled
the
Petitions
of
the
Lords
Prayer
,
and
the
parts
of
the
Ten
Commandements
,
with
a
strict
mixture
of
Doctrinall
Meditations
in
the
forme
,
and
to
be
vsed
as
praiers
,
containing
therein
their
contents
,
which
I
haue
indeauoured
to
doe
according
to
my
weake
skill
and
iudgement
.
First
,
for
mine
owne
exercise
,
and
then
for
the
use
of
such
as
shal
neede
,
and
desire
it
as
much
as
I
doe
.
Which
I
haue
done
the
rather
,
because
I
see
how
feareful
,
dangerous
,
and
common
a
thing
it
is
,
to
finde
such
multitudes
of
people
,
who
vsing
only
the
Lords
Prayer
,
or
reading
the
Tenne
Commandements
,
with
out
premeditation
or
knowledge
what
either
of
them
contains
,
do
yot
think
that
they
haue
sufficiently
serued
God
,
when
they
know
little
,
or
vse
not
that
aright
they
shold
know
,
and
doe
better
.
To
knowe
much
and
doe
little
,
doth
little
auaile
in
diuine
or
humane
things
:
to
doe
much
&
to
know
little
proues
vnprofitable
,
if
not
hurtfull
.
Yet
not
to
finde
fault
with
others
,
but
to
come
home
vnto
my selfe
:
for
these
my
Meditations
,
such
as
they
are
I
leaue
them
with
the
readers
and
vsers
of
them
,
to
the
direction
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
.

Our
Father
which
art
in
Heauen
,
Hallowed
be
thy
Name
:
O
Lord
God
,
most
high
&
●●uenly
〈◊〉
hou
art
our
Father
by
creation
.
Wee
are
thy
Children
by
Adoption
.
What
an
honour
and
happinesse
is
it
to
vs
miserable
Men
:
that
thou
our
mighty
God
,
vouchsafest
to
accept
and
call
vs
thy
Children
:
Hauing
Elected
vs
,
thou
hast
giuen
vs
a
great
,
a
glorious
,
and
an
euerlasting
Inheritance
.
Hauing
created
vs
of
nothing
,
thou
hast
yet
made
v●●
Heires
,
yea
Possessor●
of
thore
then
earthly
euen
heauenly
endowments
.
Our
earthly
mould
,
and
our
carthly
mindes
only
,
keepe
vs
from
this
heauenly
possession
.
Thy
mercifull
and
powerfull
prouidence
hath
prouided
it
;
our
finnefull
and
corrupt
nature
keepes
vs
from
it
.
Thou
(
O
gracious
Father
)
hast
giuen
vs
the
earth
,
and
al
things
in
this
world
to
gouerne
;
that
we
might
make
vse
of
it
for
thy
seruice
,
and
for
our
owne
sustenance
.
But
the
louing
of
this
earth
,
and
the
longing
after
earthly
things
,
keepes
vs
from
aspiring
and
attaining
to
thy
heauenly
Inheritance
.
If
as
sonnes
heere
on
earth
,
wee●
could
seeke
the
glory
of
thee
our
Father●
in
heauen
;
wee
should
sooner
and
bette●
obteine
the
blessings
both
of
Earth
and
Heauen
.
If
we
the●
could
consider
wherefore
thou
hast
chose●
vs
for
thy
children
and
so
shew
our
selue●
obedient
children
i●
keeping
thy
heauonl●
Commandement
w●
should
not
only
find
comfort
in
our
owne
soules
and
consciences
,
shunne
thy
wrath
and
the
shipwrake
of
our
soules
,
enioy
thy
blessings
,
and
avoide
thy
curses
,
but
bee
made
partakers
of
that
patrimony
,
which
thou
hast
prouided
for
thine
elect
children
.
But
alas
(
most
gracious
Father
)
wee
make
our selues
by
our
dayly
and
continuall
sinnes
vnworthy
to
be
called
thy
sons
,
and
most
vnworthy
to
receiue
the
inheritance
of
thy
children
.
Yet
thou
hast
sent
thy
only
begotten
Sonne
to
suffer
death
for
our
sinnes
,
to
restore
vs
thy
adopted
Sonnes
to
the
inheritance
which
wee
by
our
fallings
and
transgressions
had
forfeited
;
yea
,
to
a
farre
more
excellent
,
and
heauenly
inheritance
.
And
yet
,
as
disobedient
children
,
wee
haue
againe
and
againe
reuolted
from
thee
,
as
Prodigall
Sonnes
mis-spent
that
Patrimony
thou
hast
giuen
vs
,
wasted
in
luxury
and
lust
,
haue
beene
forced
to
feede
on
huskes
after
wee
haue
followed
sinne
and
Satan
.
And
that
which
is
worse
,
by
our
long
and
obdurated
sinnes
,
wee
doe
as
much
as
in
vs
lyeth
,
crucifie
the
Lord
of
life
,
our
elder
Brother
,
thy
best
beloued
Son
,
whom
thou
hast
sent
,
and
we
haue
sold
him
by
our
mis-beliefes
and
euill-liuing
.
As
Iudas
sold
him
to
the
Iewes
for
a
fewe
Talents
or
pieces
of
siluer
.
Thus
wee
of
Children
become
Rebels
,
and
of
Freeborne
made
our
selus
slaues
.
Yet
(
most
mercifull
Father
)
since
by
thy
owne
choisethou
hast
called
vs
to
bee
thy
Children
,
Haue
compassion
vpon
thy
weake
,
fraile
,
and
wandring
Children
;
bring
vs
backe
from
the
by-pathes
wherein
wee
haue
gone
astray
.
Restore
vs
to
innocency
and
to
thy
fauour
.
Renewe
in
vs
right
spirits
,
Mollifie
our
stony
hearts
,
and
giue
vs
fleshy
hearts
.
Set
thy
feare
before
our
eyes
,
so
wee
shall
by
thy
strength
honour
thee
Our
Father
which
art
in
Heauen
.
So
wee
by
thy
helpe
shall
hallow
and
honour
thy
hallowed
and
euer
honoured
Name
.
Let
vs
not
dishonour
thee
by
cursing
,
swearing
,
or
blasphemy
.
Thy
Name
is
,
as
thou
art
,
great
and
glorious
;
It
is
holy
as
thou
art
.
We
cannot
hallow
it
,
except
thou
make
vs
holy
,
who
of
our
selues
are
most
vnholy
.
O
sanctifie
vs
thy
Children
,
that
wee
may
hallow
thee
our
Father
vpon
earth
,
and
in
heauen
,
with
Halleluiahs
,
praise
,
and
glory
,
for
euer
&
euer
Amen
.
Thy
Kingdome
come
.
THy
kingdome
(
O
Lord
)
is
an
euerlasting
Kingdome
,
and
thy
Dominion
endureth
throughout
all
ages
.
The
earth
is
thy
footstoole
,
thou
fittest
in
the
highest
Heauen
,
and
the
Scepter
of
thy
power
stretcheth
ouer
all
the
earth
.
All
things
with
thee
are
present
,
as
well
that
is
past
,
as
that
is
to
come
.
And
yet
wee
poore
sinners
,
who
stand
still
in
thy
presence
,
doe
not
as
wee
should
,
seeke
thy
kingdome
:
that
it
should
come
vnto
vs
,
or
that
wee
by
Faith
and
Repentance
should
come
vnto
thee
,
that
wee
might
inioy
thy
kingdome
.
We
seeke
not
thy
kingdome
in
thy
word
to
doe
thy
will
:
we
seeke
it
not
in
thy
workes
,
to
glorifie
thee
,
our
Lord
&
Maker
.
Thou
excellest
in
eminence
,
whereby
thy
kingdome
in
heauen
and
earth
is
gouerned
.
Yet
the
kings
of
the
earth
conspire
against
thee
and
thine
Anoynted
.
O
make
them
yet
to
feele
thy
high
and
heauy
hand
,
that
they
may
seeke
thee
,
and
shun
the
suppression
of
thy
truth
,
Church
and
people
,
which
is
a
great
part
of
thy
kingdom
here
on
earth
.
Thy
flock
and
fold
of
thy
militant
Church
is
heere
on
earth
:
gather
them
together
,
shield
and
shelter
them
by
thy
out-stretched
Arme
,
that
they
may
make
thy
kingdome
known
to
be
as
it
is
,
great
and
glorious
.
O
suffer
not
the
sufferings
of
thy
Saints
still
to
continue
,
lest
the
enemies
of
thy
kingdom
grow
more
proud
and
presumptuous
.
Thou
in
thy
eternall
wisdome
and
counsell
considerest
,
that
the
chosen
children
of
thy
kingdome
must
be
as
gold
purified
in
the
fire
of
affliction
;
that
so
they
may
manifest
the
glory
of
thy
kingdome
;
●y
prayers
,
persecuti●on
,
patience
and
deli●erance
.
Yet
the
enemies
of
thy
trueth
,
who
seeke
their
owne
glorie
by
thy
disho●our
,
tread
downe
●hy
vineyard
,
to
the
ende
it
may
bring
forth
no
more
fruit
.
But
thy
Kingdome
●annot
bee
destroyed
,
●hough
the
members
●hereof
may
for
the
●ime
bee
defaced
.
Thou
canst
build
vp
●he
ruines
when
man
●annot
restore
it
.
Shew
thy selfe
a
Defender
,
as
thou
art
a
Builder
of
thine
owne
Kingdome
,
in
the
Church
and
Common
weale
.
Shew
vs
the
way
vnto
thy
Kingdome
.
Teach
vs
the
trueth
:
teach
vs
to
preserue
it
,
and
to
preferre
it
as
a
pillar
of
thy
Kingdome
,
before
the
safegard
of
our
owne
liues
:
So
shall
thy
Kingdome
of
thy
grace
come
,
and
bee
conserued
by
vs
;
that
we
may
come
vnto
thy
Kingdome
of
Glorie
.
Thy
Son
our
Sauiour
said
,
His
Kingdome
was
not
of
this
world
:
because
●t
was
not
temporatie
,
but
eternall
;
it
was
not
earthly
,
but
●eauenly
:
yet
his
power
being
thine
,
thy
Kingdome
is
heere
by
Creation
and
Preseruation
:
It
is
in
Heauen
by
all
fulnesse
of
glorie
and
●rayses
.
O
let
the
Kingdome
and
Scepter
of
thy
word
come
vnto
vs
;
rule
and
direct
our
hearts
heere
on
earth
,
that
wee
may
come
to
thy
Kingdome
in
heauen
:
That
heere
wee
may
obey
and
serue
thee
in
this
thy
kingdome
,
and
heereafter
enioy
thy
happinesse
,
and
giue
thee
glory

in
thine
euerlasting
Kingdom

Amen

Thy
Will

done
in
Earth
,
as
it
is
in
Heauen
.
Most
gracious
and
glorious
Soueraigne
,
●hy
will
and
thy
wisdome
are
the
same
:
●n
wisdome
hast
thou
●one
all
things
,
Thy
wisdom
hath
wroght
●ll
;
Thy
Word
hath
●euealed
thy
will
and
●hy
wisedome
.
Thou
●n
thy
wonderfull
workes
of
Creation
,
diddest
command
all
things
to
bee
done
,
and
it
was
done
.
Our
wills
(
good
Lord
)
are
weake
in
that
which
is
good
,
and
strong
to
doe
euill
.
In
Heauen
all
things
obey
thee
,
and
vpon
earth
Man
is
most
disobedient
to
thy
Maiestie
.
The
Earth
brings
foorth
fruites
for
the
sustenance
of
man
;
and
man
is
fertil
in
bringing
forth
sinne
to
thy
displeasure
and
dishonour
.
It
is
thy
will
,
that
wee
should
serue
thee
:
but
our
wilfull
desires
draw
vs
from
thy
seruice
:
So
in
earth
&
earthly
creatures
is
contention
and
corruption
:
In
Heauen
and
heauenly
minded
men
is
vnitie
,
concord
,
and
contentment
.
Heauen
giues
thee
glory
:
Earth
yeelds
vs
fruits
.
The
fruits
of
the
earth
not
well
and
thankefully
vsed
,
turne
to
the
diseases
of
our
bodies
&
foules
.
As
thy
good
will
hath
wrought
all
things
for
our
good
:
so
(
good
Lord
)
giue
vs
good
wills
,
to
doe
thy
will
,
whilest
wee
liue
heere
on
earth
〈◊〉
that
wee
may
make
i●
as
a
foot-step
to
a●
scend
vnto
Heauen●
Let
it
therefore
bee
our
chiefest
desire
to
conforme
our
willes
to
thy
blessed
will
〈◊〉
That
when
our
Pilgrimage
is
passed
heere
vpon
Earth
〈◊〉
and
wee
haue
passed
through
the
vale
o●
miserie
,
thou
mayes●
prouide
for
vs
a

in
Heauen
,
that
wee
may
bee
seated
with
thy

,
to
doe
thee
seruice

and
to
sing
vnto
thee
perpetuall
praises
.
Giue
vs
this
Day
our
daily
Bread
.
THIS
Day
(
O
Lord
)
as
all
other
daies
of
our
frail●
and
fading
life
,
being
short
,
and
a
space
wherein
we
still
commit
sinne
.
We
stand
in
need
of
sustenance
.
Our
daily
bread
;
and
food
being
the
mean●
to
maintain
our
liues
we
cannot
haue
it
except
thou
afford
it
〈◊〉
and
when
wee
haue
it
,
wee
doe
not
afford
thee
deserued
praises
.
Thou
hast
afforded
vs
plentie
,
and
yet
of
our
thankfulnesse
there
is
great
penury
.
Wee
ryot
in
excesse
,
and
suffer
thy
seruants
to
sustaine
wants
.
We
haue
not
onely
bread
,
food
,
and
rayment
,
but
all
things
necessarie
from
thy
liberall
hands
,
and
yet
wee
neither
returne
thee
laud
,
nor
to
our
needie
neighbors
supply
out
of
the
store
thou
hast
sent
vs
.
O
Lord
as
thou
hast
comforted
vs
with
thy
creatures
:
so
teach
vs
to
make
a
right
vse
o●
them
,
that
wee
abus●

i●
mispending

no●
restraine
our
Chari●
tie

in

thos●
who

necessitie
,
accordin●
to
the

which
in

thou
ha●

Wee
hau●
need
of
food
for
ou●
Soules
,
and
othe●
things
necessarie
,
a●
well
for
our
liues
a●
for
our
bodies
.
O
giu●
vs
(
good
God
)
thi●
day
,
and
at
all
other
times
,
what
is
conuenient
both
for
our
soules
and
bodies
:
and
therewith
graunt
vs
contentment
and
moderation
,
that
wee
may
be
satisfied
with
what
is
sufficient
,
and
not
seeke
things
superfluous
to
abuse
or
mispend
that
we
haue
:
So
wee
hauing
sufficient
,
may
not
onely
●ee
satisfied
,
but
may
do
good
therewith
to
our
owne
soules
,
and
spare
that
which
may
●ee
spared
vnto
the
●oore
,
forwhom
thou
hast
not
prouided
.
And
so
not
onely
this
day
,
but
all
the
dayes
of
our
liues
,
wee
may
be
good
Stewards
of
thy
blessings
,
and
true
Accomptants
of
thy
earthly
and
Heauenly
Treasures
.
Forgiue
vs
our
Trespasses
,
as
wee
forgiue
them
that
trespasse
against
vs
.
HOW
often
and
continually
wee
offend
thy
Heauenly
Maiestie
,
thou
(
good
God
)
onely
,
that
feest
all
things
,
doest
best
dilcer●e
.
Wee
sinne
hourely
,
and
therfore
haue
still
need
of
thy
pardon
.
Wee
often
desire
it
,
and
do
more
often
offend
:
Wee
desire
it
with
condition
,
yet
we
seldome
performe
the
condition
.
How
fearefull
is
our
state
when
wee
commit
sinnes
,
craue
pardon
,
promise
to
remitt
others
trespasses
,
and
yet
neither
avoide
the
euill
,
amend
our
liues
,
or
passe
by
with
pardon
the
smallest
harmes
wee
haue
from
our
Brethren
,
but
seeke
release
from
thee
,
and
reuenge
against
them
:
O
good
God
,
teach
vs
to
looke
backe
vnto
our
former
backeslidings
,
euen
in
this
behalfe
.
And
if
there
bee
any
whose
faultes
wee
haue
not
remitted
,
done
onely
against
our selues
.
Mooue
our
hearts
to
relent
,
and
to
bee
reconciled
as
farre
foorth
as
may
stand
with
thy
glory
and
the
good
of
thy
Church
.
If
the
cause
bee
such
as
may
not
bee
concealed
,
or
kept
from
question
:
Yet
let
not
our
particular
reuenge
be
the
ground
to
seeke
any
mans
ruine
.
But
so
teach
and
temper
our
hearts
to
distinguish
betwixt
priuate
spleene
&
publique
Iustice
,
thy
glory
,
&
our
owne
vaine
glory
,
wrath
or
displeasure
,
as
this
our
daylie
prayer
,
or
forgiuing
others
,
be
not
made
vnfruitfull
vnto
them
,
or
hurtfull
vnto
our
owne
soules
,
but
by
pardoninge
their
lesser
offences
thou
mayst
be
moued
to
pardon
our
greater
sinnes
,
and
that
for
thy
sake
,
and
the
safety
of
our
soules
through
Iesus
Christ
our
LORD
,
Amen
.
And
leade
vs
not
into
Temptation
.
But
deliuer
vs
from
euill
:
LEade
vs
not
,
or
rather
(
Gracious
God
)
suffer
vs
not
to
be
ledd
into
temptation
:
we
leade
our selues
,
our
Concupiscence
and
naturall
corruptions
leade
vs
,
The
flesh
,
the
World
and
the
Deuill
lead
vs
&
driue
vs
vnto
temptations
:
What
helpe
,
or
what
hold
haue
we
in
our selues
,
good
God
?
When
that
which
is
without
,
assayles
,
that
which
is
within
vs
is
more
ready
to
be
ouercome
then
to
withstand
:
Nay
,
our
inward
,
naturall
,
inbred
corruptions
,
giues
and
receiues
,
and
therefore
canot
withstand
these
assaults
.
Our
flesh
is
pampered
and
puffed
vp
with
Pride
.
Our
lusts
rising
from
our
naturall
instigations
of
the
flesh
,
and
prouocations
of
others
,
procured
by
internall
inflamations
,
and
externall
incensements
,
lead
vs
and
ouerwhelme
vs
with
temptations
.
When
we
(
good
Lord
)
as
we
are
directed
,
desire
thee
not
to
leade
vs
,
or
suffer
vs
to
bee
lead
into
temptation
:
we
therein
craue
thy
deliuerances
from
the
frailty
of
our
flesh
,
which
cannot
resist
,
but
rayseth
temptations
:
Our
Captiuity
comes
from
our
selu
,
our
Deliuerance
from
thee
:
Wee
are
daily
,
hourely
,
and
continually
assaulted
with
temptations
of
lusts
,
when
wee
doe
but
see
or
feele
that
wherein
we
delight
:
Of
pride
,
when
exalted
,
or
desiring
to
bee
exalted
,
wee
climbe
higher
then
our
strength
,
or
capacitie
can
reach
vnto
;
or
if
comming
vnto
it
,
and
comming
by
vngodly
meanes
vnto
it
:
we
fall
(
good
Lord
)
from
thy
grace
further
and
further
,
as
at
the
first
wee
fell
from
it
,
when
wee
sought
not
from
the
sacred
Counsels
of
thy
holy
Commandements
,
which
way
wee
should
walke
.
Our
Temptations
,
(
O
blessed
resister
and
restrainer
of
the
Tempter
)
are
,
either
sodaine
,
wherein
our
flesh
and
frailty
,
easily
suffers
vs
to
be
surprized
:
or
else
continued
;
and
importunate
,
wherein
wee
cannot
without
thy
heauenly
assistance
,
maintaine
the
Combate
,
or
continue
the
Conflict
.
In
all
these
wee
are
weake
,
and
thou
(
O
Lord
)
art
strong
;
strengthen
our
weakenesse
,
sustaine
vs
against
Sathan
:
Suffer
vs
not
to
bee
surprized
:
Repulse
him
by
re-uniting
thy
heauenly
Spirit
vnto
our
fraile
flesh
;
stregthening
vs
when
we
cannot
stand
,
and
restoring
vs
when
we
are
fallen
.
O
Lord
,
Thou
onely
art
able
to
deliuer
vs
from
dangers
both
of
body
and
soule
.
Our
temptations
comes
from
both
:
Our
naturall
corruptions
in
the
body
,
our
infused
contagions
in
the
soule
,
had
neede
of
thy
ayde
to
defend
and
deliuer
vs
from
temptations
.
Our
deliuerance
comes
from
thee
,
that
our
prayses
and
thanksgiuing
may
returne
vnto
thee
.
O
deliuer
,
saue
,
and
defend
vs
from
the
suggestions
of
Sathan
.
Amen
.
For
thine
is
the
Kingdome
,
Power
,
Glorie
,
and
Dominion
.
THe
Kingdoms
and
Territories
of
the
Earth
(
most
mighty
Lord
)
are
thine
in
Creation
,
power
,
praise
,
and
Dominion
.
It
is
thine
(
O
LORD
)
for
thou
hast
first
framed
it
:
It
is
thine
,
for
thou
dost
conserue
,
and
presetue
it
:
It
is
thine
,
for
thou
dost
rule
and
gouerne
the
Vniuerse
:
Thy
Sonne
hath
said
,
His
Kingdome
was
not
of
this
Worlde
,
because
he
would
not
rule
visibly
,
and
temporally
,
but
spiritually
and
eternally
.
Yet
thou
hast
giuen
him
power
in
heauen
and
in
earth
to
redeeme
sinners
,
and
to
saue
sinnefull
men
:
What
Kingdome
can
bee
greater
,
more
glorious
and
firme
?
What
power
can
bee
more
ample
,
or
so
beneficiall
?
What
glory
can
shine
more
in
and
vnder
the
firmament
of
Heauen
?
O
therefore
,
by
that
thy
power
bring
vs
vnto
this
thy
Kingdome
:
where
wee
may
haue
rest
without
trouble
,
comfort
without
contention
:
ioy
without
end
:
and
thou
mayest
receiue
kingdome
without
resistance
,
Power
without
diminution
:
Glorie
without
deniall
:
and
Dominion
without
disobedience
:
To
this
thy
Kingdome
,
by
thine
owne
power
bring
vs
to
giue
thee
glory
,
and
to
be
true
subiects
of
thy
dominion
:
for
thine
owne
,
for
thy
Sonne
,
and
for
thy
seruants
sake
,
Amen
.
One
Prayer
framed
vpon
all
the
parts
of
the
Lords
Prayer
.
MOst
mightie
God
,
most
mercifull
Father
,
Thou
art
not
onely
in
Heauen
by
thy
presence
,
but
in
Heauen
and
Earth
by
thy
power
:
Thou
in
thy
mercy
hast
vouschsafed
to
choose
and
accompt
vs
for
thy
children
.
Wee
by
our
transgressions
haue
failed
to
doe
the
duties
of
Children
.
Thou
art
in
heauen
and
beholdest
vs
;
We
are
on
earth
and
are
so
earthly
minded
,
that
we
cannot
behold
and
confesse
,
as
wee
should
thy
Maiesty
,
thy
mercie
,
and
thy
Iustice
:
Thy
Name
is
hallowed
and
holy
,
yet
we
take
thy
name
in
vaine
;
dishonour
it
,
and
thereby
destroy
our
own
soules
:
Thy
Kingdome
is
already
come
both
in
heauen
,
and
in
the
hearts
of
the
Regenerate
.
O
graunt
vs
regenerate
hearts
,
that
wee
may
come
vnto
thee
,
and
vnto
thy
kingdome
.
Thy
Will
(
O
good
and
gracious
God
)
is
that
they
whom
thou
hast
ordayned
to
bee
Saints
in
Heauen
,
should
bee
holy
,
and
so
serue
thee
,
to
doe
thy
will
here
on
earth
that
they
may
attaine
to
thy
heauenly
inheritance
.
But
alas
,
how
doe
wee
transgresse
the
will
,
breake
thy
lawes
,
and
follow
our
owne
willes
.
O
yet
here
make
vs
Ministers
and
fulfillers
of
thy
holy
will
,
that
hereafter
we
may
bee
partakers
of
thy
heauenly
possessions
.
Thou
giuest
vs
(
good
Lord
)
dayly
bread
,
foode
,
and
sustenance
;
wee
(
as
we
haue
neede
)
dayly
desire
the
continuance
thereof
.
Wee
come
with
hands
to
receiue
,
but
not
with
hearts
to
render
pray
●ses
for
these
thy
blessings
.
O
let
our
daies
to
come
be
as
full
of
thankefullnesse
,
as
those
past
haue
bene
of
vnthankefullnesse
.
Teach
vs
day
by
day
to
desire
not
onely
corporall
,
but
spirituall
foode
,
holyly
to
vse
and
not
fleshly
to
abuse
either
of
both
.
That
we
may
not
desire
our
meat
to
pamper
our
bodies
,
and
to
prouoke
them
to
lust
:
but
to
liue
soberly
,
to
take
sufficient
,
and
to
auoide
excesse
.
That
wee
seeke
not
spirituall
foode
onely
to
seeme
to
be
,
but
indeed
to
be
truely
religious
.
Our
trespasses
(
mos●
mercifull
Father
)
are
great
,
infinite
,
and
grieuous
.
Wee
come
to
thee
,
and
wee
cry
to
thee
for
forgiuenesse
:
Thou
,
O
Lord
art
ready
to
remi●
them
vpon
our
repentance
:
Wee
goe
o●
with
our
sinnes
,
bu●
not
with
sorrow
fo●
hauing
committed
them
,
with
promis●
of
pardon
vnto
other
who
haue
offende●
vs
;
and
yet
wee
for
giue
not
them
as
wee
desire
to
bee
forgiuen
.
This
is
the
cause
that
wee
neither
receiue
pardon
,
nor
amende
our
sinnefull
liues
:
And
this
is
the
cause
of
our
present
hardnesse
of
our
hearts
,
and
will
bee
of
our
future
greater
punishments
,
except
thou
in
thy
mercy
forget
and
forgiue
our
former
trespasses
,
make
vs
able
hereafter
to
amend
them
,
and
make
vs
charitable
to
forgiue
the
trespasses
of
our
brethren
offending
vs
,
as
we
doe
thee
:
It
is
not
thou
(
gracious
God
)
that
leadest
vs
into
temptations
,
but
wee
are
ledd
into
them
by
our
owne
lustes
and
infirmities
,
wee
fall
into
them
by
our
owne
fraileties
,
wee
are
inuited
by
the
inticements
o●
others
,
and
by
the
subtiltie
of
Satan
.
I●
thou
(
good
God
)
dost
suffer
and
no●
sustaine
vs
,
wee
no●
onely
receiue
,
bu●
runne
headlong
into
temptations
,
and
eue●
sincke
vnder
the
burthen
;
Before
wee
know
where
we
stand
,
we
fall
:
and
can
neither
withstand
,
nor
rise
vp
againe
,
except
thou
helpe
vs
:
O
bee
thou
our
supporter
&
strength
:
Arme
our
soules
,
our
hearts
,
and
our
consciences
,
so
shall
wee
bee
safe
vnder
thy
saluation
,
and
bee
couered
vnder
the
wings
of
thy
most
mercifull
protection
:
The
euills
that
come
to
vs
are
from
the
euills
that
are
within
vs
,
and
are
intertained
by
vs
:
The
euill
affections
of
our
hearts
threaten
to
pull
vpon
vs
corporall
,
temporall
,
spirituall
,
and
eternall
punishments
.
O
keepe
vs
from
the
euill
of
our
offences
and
sinnes
,
that
wee
may
shunne
the
euill
of
punishment
for
the
same
,
that
so
wee
may
not
feele
the
weight
of
thy
power
and
indignation
,
but
may
here
so
be
subiect
&
obedient
to
thy
Dominion
,
that
wee
may
hereafter
enter
into
the
ioyes
of
that
celestiall
kingdome
,
which
is
thine
,
and
which
thou
hast
prepared
for
such
as
truely
serue
thee
heere
,
and
shall
bee
blessed
Saints
in
heauen
,
Amen
.
Certaine

Prayers
and
Meditations
vpon
the
ten
Commandements

I
am
the
Lord
thy
God
that
brought
thee
out
of
Bon
dage
.
SInce
thou
,
O
Lord
GOD
,
great
and
glorious
,
hast
brought
vs
from
bondage
,
not
onely
corporall
,
but
from
spirituall
and
eternall
captiuitie
,
by
sending
thy
Sonne
,
our
Sauiour
,
to
suffer
for
our
sinnes
.
Suffer
vs
not
(
O
gracious
God
)
to
fall
againe
into
worse
then
the
Aegyptian
bondage
of
Idolatry
,
Infidelitie
,
Superstition
,
and
Ignorance
.
Teach
vs
only
truely
and
faithfully
to
adore
thee
our
euerliuing
God
,
and
our
God
that
giuest
life
.
Let
vs
not
(
O
Lord
)
doubt
,
or
distrust
of
thy
power
or
prouidence
,
but
that
our
faith
may
bee
firme
,
our
hope
assured
,
and
our
confidence
in
thee
alwaies
constant
,
to
expect
the
good
pleasure
in
performance
of
thy
gracious
promises
:
but
that
I
may
loue
and
honour
thee
aboue
,
and
more
then
all
creatures
which
are
corruptible
,
the
workemanship
of
thy
hands
,
and
which
as
they
haue
their
being
from
thee
,
so
they
can
not
bee
at
all
,
or
subsist
without
thy
sustentation
.
As
thou
art
.
(
O
Lord
)
graunt
that
wee
may
honour
thee
as
thou
art
our
God
,
that
wee
may
praise
thee
World
without
end
,
Amen
.
Thou
shalt
haue
no
other
Gods
but
me
.
THe
Heathen
,
O
LORD
GOD
euerlasting
,
giue
thy
glory
vnto
stickes
,
stones
,
and
other
imaginary
,
idle
,
vaine
,
and
euill
things
.
The
Infidels
and
vnbeleeuers
doe
either
openly
,
or
secretly
deny
thy
Deitie
,
and
diuine
incomprehensible
Majestie
.
The
ignorant
and
evill
instructed
people
,
though
they
by
custome
professe
somewhat
of
thy
seruice
and
power
,
yet
they
know
not
what
it
is
,
but
either
through
euill
instruction
,
or
for
want
of
instruction
,
know
not
,
or
care
not
how
to
keepe
thy
Commandements
,
O
Lord
,
teach
them
that
beleeue
amisse
,
the
wayes
of
truth
,
and
to
amend
their
errors
,
those
that
beleeue
not
,
touch
their
hearts
,
make
them
to
tremble
at
thy
terrors
,
and
diuine
Iustice
,
which
yet
they
feele
not
,
and
so
to
entertaine
Faith
,
that
their
soules
may
be
saued
.
Teach
vs
that
professe
thy
truth
to
practise
it
,
That
we
may
haue
none
other
Gods
but
thee
,
the
True
and
onely
Euerliuing
GOD
:
There
is
none
other
but
onely
thou
that
art
good
,
and
goodnesse
it selfe
.
How
then
shall
wee
stand
in
iudgement
before
thee
,
who
preferre
and
accompt
any
any
created
thing
before
,
or
in
comparison
of
thee
.
O
let
our
knees
and
hearts
bow
downe
before
thee
alone
,
with
faith
,
with
feare
,
and
with
acknowledgement
:
Then
we
shall
haue
none
other
Gods
but
thee
;
neither
follow
our
owne
fantasies
,
nor
the
corrupt
doctrine
of
such
as
misleade
others
.
Thou
shalt
not
make
vnto
thy selfe
the
Image
or
likenesse
of
any
thing
in
Heauen
above
,
or
in
the
Earth
beneath
,
or
in
the
Waters
vnder
the
Earth
:
For
,
&c.
AS
thy
power
,
O
LORD
is
greatest
,
and
thy
preheminence
aboue
all
thy
Creatures
in
the
heauens
,
and
in
the
earth
:
So
is
thine
Honour
so
precious
,
that
thou
wouldest
not
haue
it
giuen
to
any
thing
in
heauen
or
in
in
earth
.
Yet
(
good
Lord
)
our
natures
are
so
fraile
,
and
our
soules
so
sinfull
,
that
wee
fancie
and
frame
vnto
our selues
imaginary
worshippe
of
creatures
in
Heauen
,
in
earth
,
and
in
the
waters
,
by
their
similitude
and
likenesse
;
giuing
,
or
attributing
thy
glory
to
those
glowormes
being
false
and
fading
fantasies
of
our
owne
imaginations
:
Since
then
most
mighty
Maker
and
Monarch
of
heauen
and
earth
,
thou
seest
our
frailtie
to
fall
,
and
the
dishonor
of
thy
Maiestie
,
by
false
worship
;
by
framing
the
likenesse
of
any
creature
to
worship
:
O
suffer
vs
not
to
make
,
to
set
vp
,
or
to
adore
false
Gods
,
to
fall
before
them
,
to
place
any
power
,
or
hope
in
them
,
to
trust
to
our
owne
policie
or
power
:
to
depend
vpon
earthly
helpes
,
ioyes
,
or
delights
,
but
to
rely
onely
vpon
thy
strength
,
good
will
and
pleasure
:
That
nothing
in
heaven
aboue
,
in
the
earth
beneath
,
or
in
the
waters
vnder
the
earth
,
may
carry
vs
from
thy
true

and
seruice
,
which
is
our
safety
,
and
concernes
thy

,
to
whom
be
giuen
praise
without

and
Honour
without
Superstition
,
now
and
for

Amen

Thou
shalt
not
take
the
name
of
the
Lord
thy
God
in
vaine
.
O
Lord
GOD
most
mighty
and
merciful
,
since
thy
maiestie
is
so
high
,
great
,
and
glorious
,
how
carefull
should
wee
be
to
conserue
a
reuerend
and
awefull
estimation
of
thy
holy
name
,
as
to
honour
it
in
thought
,
word
,
and
deed
:
But
,
O
most
gracious
God
,
how
carelesse
are
wee
to
keep
thy
holy
Commandement
:
How
ready
by
irreligion
to
blaspheme
thy
holy
Name
with
oathes
,
curses
,
execrations
,
to
abuse
thy
holy
Attributes
,
in
forswearing
,
and
false
accusing
,
to
name
thee
(
O
our
good
GOD
)
in
our
mouthes
,
when
wee
haue
thee
not
in
our
hearts
,
to
dissemble
and
make
Hypocriticall
profession
of
thy
holy
and
true
Religion
,
without
any
care
or
conscience
to
put
it
in
practise
.
O
most
mightie
and
mercifull
God
,
we
beseech
thee
to
pardon
and
passe
by
our
profanenesse
,
in
taking
thy
name
in
vaine
,
our
impiety
in
blaspheming
thy
holy
name
,
our
rashnesse
in
naming
thee
without
inward
reuerence
,
or
remembrance
of
thy
power
,
honour
,
and
Maiestie
;
our
pronesse
to
mention
thy
Word
,
Workes
,
and
Worship
,
without
due
premed

and
consideration
.
O
teach
vs
when
wee
talke
,
thinke
or
inuocate
thy
holy
name
,
to
doe
it
with
conscience
,
faith
,
and
seare
,
when
we
thinke
on
it
,
to
cogitate
and
call
to
memory
that
wee
are
in
thy
presence
,
to
beleeue
that
wee
are
vnder

In

Pride

Hardnesse

O

without

by

Let

But

MOst

O

wee
slay

by

O

we
slay

by
extinguishing

not

Murther

In

by

following

who
seest

the
secret

Cleanse
these

Adultery

restraine
our

Cause

To

Gorgiousnes
&
Curiosity
of

Contaminating

wee

wee
onely

O

My
Mementoes
which
I
should
make
to
my selfe
.
-
1
THe
consideration
and
acknowledgement
of
my
sinnes
,
generall
,
and
:
particular
;
by
prayer
,
and
by
repentance
.
-
2
The
Examination
of
my
life
,
how
it
hath
beene
lead
,
either
in
goodnesse
,
or
in
loosenesse
of
liuing
.
-
3
Whether
I
haue
amended
or
continued
in
any
known
grosse
sinnes
.
-
4
What
they
are
,
how
they
haue
their
beginning
&
growth
-
5
What
resistance
I
haue
made
,
and
what
successe
that
hath
had
.
-
6
Whether
I
haue
repelled
those
sinnes
,
and
whether
they
haue
againe
returned
.
-
7
What
hopes
or
means
I
haue
to
banish
those
,
or
the
like
sinnes
?
-
8
Whether
my
prayers
befainter
or
stronger
;
more
frequent
or
seldomer
then
they
haue
beene
?
-
9
Whether
my
distractions
,
doubts
,
and
dulnesse
,
in
the
time
of
prayer
remaines
,
or
be
remooued
.
-
10
Whether
those
Passions
which
were
more
preualent
in
me
are
yet
pacified
-
11
Whether
I
cannot
yet
heartily
forgiue
,
and
pray
for
those
that
haue
iniured
mee
.
-
12
Whether
my
want
of
Loue
and
Charitie
to
my
Neighbours
be
yet
amended
?
-
13
Whether
I
haue
ioyned
Faith
with
Examination
,
and
that
with
Repentance
.
There
is
no
day
wherein
I
liue
,
but
I
should
call
my selfe
to
accompt
,
and
bestow
some
time
in
examination
of
my self
,
to
see
and
search
,
which
of
these
,
or
the
like
sinnes
I
haue
committed
,
which
of
them
I
haue
corrected
:
what
yet
remaines
to
bee
done
,
that
I
may
no
more
doe
them
:
And
if
I
can
fall
to
these
remembrances
by
exact
repetition
,
I
shall
sooner
come
to
repentance
:
If
I
cannot
altogeter
remember
them
,
yet
I
must
first
reade
them
in
these
,
or
the
like
lines
,
then
answere
to
euery
Article
,
as
if
I
were
examined
before
the
strickest
Iudge
for
any
capitall
offence
,
or
else
I
may
be
assured
I
shall
come
at
last
before
a
seuere
and
all-seeing
Iudge
,
who
knowes
and
will
iudge
all
:
when
I
haue
done
this
,
I
must
goe
to
prayer
for
the
remoouing
of
these
euills
;
the
continuance
in
doing
better
:
Or
if
I
finde
I
cannot
doe
it
,
I
must
still
pray
that
I
may
bee
able
to
doe
it
.
These
Meditations
and
the
Prayers
following
them
,
being
the
best
Medicines
to
cure
all
the
maladies
of
my
minde
and
soule
:
for
which
end
,
and
to
attaine
to
that
holy
and
happy
ende
,
It
is
necessarie
that
I
should
frame
vnto
my selfe
,
if
not
vnto
others
,
some
short
supplications
,
as
th●se
following
or
the
like
.
A
Prayer
for
performance
of
the
former
Points
.
O
Lord
GOD
,
my
sinnes
are
great
&
grieuous
,
many
and
infinit
in
number
:
they
are
so
many
that
I
cannot
reckon
or
remember
them
.
Those
that
I
doe
remember
,
which
are
the
fewest
in
comparison
of
the
rest
;
I
haue
not
confessed
or
acknowledged
as
I
should
doe
.
I
haue
not
examined
my
sinnefull
life
that
I
haue
ledde
,
nor
sought
amendment
of
the
same
,
I
haue
not
looked
into
the
beginning
or
grouth
of
my
sinnes
,
nor
how
I
haue
resisted
the
same
,
or
if
at
any
time
I
haue
done
it
,
yet
I
haue
fallen
more
backewards
then
I
went
forwards
.
My
hope
of
resistance
is
nothing
but
in
thy
power
and
mercy
,
O
therefore
most
mercifull
God
,
Graunt
me
power
not
onely
to
proceede
in
examination
,
but
in
amendment
.
For
my
prayers
good
God
which
should
be
the
pathway
to
thy
praise
,
and
the
steppes
to
my
saluation
;
they
are
feeble
and
slow
.
O
make
them
stronger
and
more
frequent
.
Take
from
me
in
my
prayers
distractions
,
doubting
,
and
dullnesse
.
Remooue
my
most
violent
passions
,
the
perturbers
of
minde
and
soule
.
Grant
me
grace
to
forgiue
them
that
wrong
mee
,
and
that
I
may
pray
for
them
that
persecute
mee
,
as
thy
sonne
my
Sauiour
did
and
hath
taught
mee
to
doe
And
as
thy
seruan●
Stephen
hath
shewed
me
an
example
:
Take
from
me
hatred
,
and
increase
in
mee
lou●
and
charity
:
Graun●
mee
grace
to
ioyn●
faith
with
examination
,
and
examination
with
repentance
:
And
that
I
may
be
the
better
able
to
do
this
and
all
other
good
duties
,
Giue
me
power
to
pray
vnto
thee
and
to
prayse
thee
:
So
be
it
Good
Lord
Amen

much
vnto
Canonicall
howers
as
they
call
them
,
in
the
publike
or
priuate
seruice
of
God
.
As
to
say
or
sing
Masse
at
such
houres
:
as
in
the
forenoone
,
at
the
howres
of
nine
and
eleauen
to
haue
Angular
Masses
whereof
many
in
one
Church
,
and
in
diuers
Corners
of
the
same
Church
at
the
same
time
:
To
tye
them
in
their
priuate
Deuotions
,
to
reade
or
rather
to
runne
ouer
the
Iesus
Psalter
,
and
other
manuall
bookes
heretofore
altogether
in
the
Lati●e
tongue
,
which
most
of
them
vnderstood
not
at
all
:
So
might
they
speake
as
Birdes
are
taught
to
speake
,
by
the
pronunciation
,
scarce
of
syllables
aright
;
sometime
saying
one
word
or
at
the
least
sounding
one
for
another
without
any
sence
or
signification
,
to
themselues
,
what
they
speake
:
But
of
latter
times
heere
in
England
(
though
not
so
in
other
Countries
,
where
the
Roman
Catholique
Religion
(
as
themselues
call
it
)
onely
hath
vse
and
force
heere
more
then
elsewhere
,
)
They
are
lately
tolerated
by
the
authority
of
the
Church
of
Rome
to
haue
some
few
prayer
bookes
both
in
Latine
and
english
,
but
which
of
both
they
do
most
vse
,
themselues
do
best
know
.
And
either
they
are
so
full
farced
and
stuffed
with
hymnes
,
short
versicles
;
some
without
conclusion
of
sence
,
and
in
most
,
the
sentences
so
shortly
and
suddainely
set
together
,
the
one
leaping
so
close
vpon
the
backe
of
the
other
,
that
hardly
can
they
remember
,
or
scarce
perceiue
what
they
say
.
Onely
they
are
made
to
beleeue
,
that
these
ready
,
but
raw
repetitions
may
serue
for
Gods
seruice
,
whereas
the
vnderstanding
should
be
aswell
supplyed
as
the
affection
,
in
performance
of
true
Religion
.
Heerein
is
their
excesse
ioyned
with
defect
:
Excesse
of
measure
in
heaping
many
words
not
well
weyed
:
Defect
in
the
conception
and
knowledge
of
what
they
doe
deliuer
:
Besides
there
is
an
exceeding
great
Error
allowed
and
taught
in
putting
them
not
onely
to
pronounce
those
prayers
so
peeced
,
which
must
needes
be
ouer
perfunctorily
thus
speeded
:
but
some
(
nay
many
)
I
may
say
most
of
their
prayers
are
directed
to
the
Saints
as
intercessors
,
whereof
some
were
such
as
in
their
liue●
were
scarce
holy
but
so
esteemed
,
and
yet
were
in
a
maner
deified
,
onely
because
they
adhered
to
the
Pope
of
:
Rome
Namely
(
amongst
others
)
Thomas
Becket
sometime
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
rebellious
to
his
Soueraigne
,
and
so
though
euill
slayne
therefore
Canonized
:
Prayers
allowed
by
publique
authority
printed
and
practised
euen
in
our
times
.
As
desiring
God
by
the
blood
of
this
Becket
to
make
the
poore
seduced
suppliant
to
ascend
where
Christ
ascended
.
They
making
in
those
common
prayer
bookes
more
prayers
to
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
then
to
our
Sauiour
himselfe
.
They
calling
on
her
to
beseech
God
the
Father
:
and
to
commaund
God
her
sonne
by
the
right
of
a
Mother
:
Which
with
many
other
most
gross
superstitions
,
aswell
in
their
publicke
,
as
in
their
priuate
Deuotions
,
themselues
cannot
deny
;
or
if
they
should
,
yet
their
bookes
are
extant
and
their
practises
perspicuous
,
Their
creeping
and
their
bending
and
bowing
of
their
Bodies
before
the
Images
of
some
but
supposed
Saints
.
The
adoring
of
the
Image
of
the
Crosse
and
crucifixe
,
with
other
,
but
said
to
be
but
hallowed
reliques
:
what
dishonor
it
hath
broght
to
the
Christian
Religion
,
and
what
danger
to
themselues
,
although
they
will
not
acknowledge
,
and
their
learnedest
Teachers
will
seeme
to
defend
or
to
excuse
:
yet
Intelligent
and
pious
men
who
are
not
seduced
by
Iesuits
and
Romish
Priests
,
or
so
vnhappy
as
to
be
bred
vp
in
their
Schooles
of
superstition
,
may
perceiue
though
they
wil
not
confesse
;
That
deuotion
without
true
vnderstanding
,
turnes
soone
vnto
superstition
:
That
feruor
without
Faith
,
and
beliefe
without
knowledge
,
makes
many
men
erre
grossely
,
and
offend
most
where
they
think
they
doe
best
:
Their
bookes
of
Meditation
are
in
many
parts
good
to
stirre
Deuotion
,
but
in
some
places
patched
with
superstition
.
If
this
Cockle
might
be
separated
from
their
Corne
it
would
proouemore
profitable
.
For
the
Protestants
profession
&
practise
of
Religion
,
wherof
I
professe
to
be
one
.
If
most
Protestants
would
be
as
feruent
,
&
as
frequent
in
their
Praiers
,
as
many
of
them
are
intelligent
in
that
they
pray
,
they
should
more
shun
sinne
,
and
shame
the
Romanists
;
who
yet
seeme
to
shun
them
by
being
more
deuoute
in
that
which
they
doe
lesse
vnderstand
,
and
are
far
more
frequent
in
Praier
.
And
if
there
were
more
zeale
joyned
with
Conscience
,
it
would
much
adorne
the
profession
,
&
make
it
most
excellent
as
it
is
in
deede
,
so
would
it
be
in
estimation
and
effect
.
But
no
profession
can
make
men
perfect
:
The
most
perfection
wee
haue
consists
or
is
consummated
in
practise
and
action
.
Peace
and
prosperitie
which
should
helpe
,
doth
yet
hinder
Devotion
.
It
begets
Pride
,
and
that
ingenders
presumption
:
Affliction
giues
instruction
,
gaines
humility
,
guides
the
Conscience
,
and
reformes
euill
liuing
:
Witnesse
,
nay
,
many
witnesses
heereof
,
were
the
persecutions
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
when
vnder
the
Tyrannies
and
bloudy
Massacres
of
the
Christians
,
by
the
Heathen
Emperours
,
Princes
,
and
Magistrates
:
the
Christians
liues
were
shining
lights
of
sanctitie
:
their
patient
and
constant
sufferings
,
causes
of
conuersion
to
many
men
,
who
before
knew
not
God
,
nor
what
Godlinesse
meant
:
Their
sinceritie
and
singlenesse
of
heart
set
vp
Trophees
for
themselues
,
and
made
them
Conquerors
ouer
their
cruellest
and
causelesse
Enemies
.
And
I
would
I
could
not
say
in
mine
owne
particular
,
for
my
poore
sinnefull
selfe
,
that
when
I
enioyed
the
World
as
I
did
most
wish
,
I
was
euer
then
worst
.
I
would
I
could
as
well
say
,
that
since
Aduersitie
came
,
I
became
better
:
yet
if
any
thing
worke
in
mee
,
or
in
others
,
amendement
,
it
must
be
Affliction
,
and
some
Aduersitie
.
Affliction
in
minde
for
sinne
:
and
a
touch
of
Aduersitie
for
the
same
.
O
therefore
that
so
I
may
doe
as
now
I
say
,
and
that
others
may
doe
as
I
wish
.
My
Prayers
(
I
hope
by
the
heauenly
assistancce
)
shall
be
,
That
yet
in
these
times
of
Peace
and
Prosperity
,
whilest
our
Protestant
Religion
(
the
best
,
because
the
truest
)
is
enioyed
and
established
,
might
by
Gods
permission
,
and
all
helping
power
in
these
serene
and
and
Sunshining
dayes
before
there
come
more
darkenesse
and
danger
,
cast
off
carelessenes
of
planting
Truth
,
supplanting
Errors
;
practising
of
Piety
,
preseruing
the
publique
peace
and
safetie
;
reforming
of
things
amisse
in
the
Church
&
Common-weale
,
which
cannot
be
done
withour
more
diligence
and
vigilancie
,
courage
,
prouidence
,
and
care
;
especially
by
setting
the
chief
watchmen
in
the
Church
and
State
more
closely
to
their
Stations
,
the
one
by
Doctrine
,
Discipline
,
and
Diligence
:
the
other
by
Counsell
and
Circumspection
to
prevent
perills
,
and
to
procure
the
peace
of
this
our
Sion
.
And
that
this
may
bee
performed
,
I
conclude
with
the
ensuing
Prayer
,
that
being
the
subiect
of
this
small
preceding
Treatise
.
A
Prayer
for
the
peace
and
prosperitie
of
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
his
Dominions
,
and
Subiects
.
MOst
mighty
,
gracious
,
and
merciful
God
who
hast
made
,
dost
gouerne
and
preserue
the
Heauens
,
the
Earth
,
and
all
the
Creatures
therein
contained
:
Be
mercifull
vnto
vs
most
miserable
and
sinnefull
creatures
,
who
were
ordained
for
thy
seruice
,
and
yet
doe
nothing
more
,
or
so
much
,
as
commit
sins
against
thy
sup●came
Majestie
:
Wee
haue
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
beene
polluted
with
originall
sinnes
.
Our
great
,
our
grieuous
,
and
our
out-crying
sinnes
call
vnto
thee
for
our
destruction
and
damnanation
.
But
because
thy
Mercy
is
aboue
all
thy
other
workes
,
which
yet
exceede
in
greatnesse
.
Wee
prostrate
our selues
before
thy
Throne
of
grace
;
beseeching
thee
for
thy
Sonnes
sake
,
and
for
thine
owne
goodnesse
sake
to
saue
vs
poore
sinners
,
who
desire
to
doe
thee
seruice
,
though
hitherto
wee
haue
gone
astray
:
and
walked
in
the
waies
of
wickednesse
:
Thou
hast
planted
thy
glorious
Gospell
of
truth
heere
amongst
vs
,
we
haue
professed
,
but
wee
haue
not
practised
it
as
we
should
,
yet
because
it
is
the
planting
of
thine
own
right
hand
:
suffer
not
our
sinnes
to
pluck
vp
the
same
:
but
rather
supplant
our
sinnes
and
thereby
strengthen
our
states
and
soules
:
To
this
end
(
good
and
gracious
God
)
looke
vpon
thy
seruant
our
Soueraign
whom
thou
hast
set
ouer
vs
:
inlighten
his
royall
heart
with
thy
sauing
Graces
of
knowledg
,
piety
,
counsell
,
care
,
prouidence
,
for
preseruation
and
aduancement
of
thy
truth
,
and
of
the
people
that
thou
hast
committed
to
his
charge
.
Giue
him
Zeale
,
fortitude
,
power
,
peace
and
protection
against
all
that
are
Enemies
to
true
Religion
,
and
to
those
Realmes
thou
hast
appointed
him
to
rule
:
Giue
him
a
discerning
heart
to
discouer
and
shun
all
dangers
,
and
all
that
bee
dangerous
to
him
and
to
his
Dominions
,
vnite
his
heart
in
loue
to
his
people
,
and
them
in
loyalty
to
him
.
O
LORD
,
preserue
thy
people
vnder
him
in
peace
:
Protect
them
from
forrayne
power
,
and
both
him
and
them
from
home-bred
conspiracies
,
and
all
other
mischieuous
machinations
:
Make
the
Prince
,
his
Magistrates
and
People
zealous
of
thy
seruice
and
glory
,
constant
and
carefull
in
keeping
thy
Commandements
:
couragious
for
defence
of
thy
Trueth
,
and
their
Countrey
:
Conscionable
and
Charitable
.
That
so
they
may
bee
still
thy
faithfull
seruants
and
thou
their
mercifull
God
:
So
shall
thy
glorious
Gospell
and
the
light
of
thy
Trueth
euer
remaine
amongst
vs
vntill
the
comming
of
thy
Sonne
Christ
Iesus
:
that
thou
mayest
raigne
ouer
vs
:
and
we
remaine
with
thee
in
eternall
Blisse
.
Amen
.
Amen

Good
Lord

A
Prayer
for
our
afflicted
Brethren
,
the
Protestants
beyond
the
Seas
:
MOst
gracious
and
merciful
Father
,
who
vsest
to
chasten
thy
Children
,
and
to
correct
whom
thou
louest
,
Haue
mercy
on
those
that
suffer
for
mainetenance
of
thy
trueth
:
Their
sinnes
haue
deserued
thy
punishments
,
and
yet
we
that
haue
sinned
as
much
,
if
not
more
,
haue
not
suffered
so
much
for
our
sinnes
:
Thou
hast
sent
thy
scourge
to
let
them
see
their
sinnes
.
Thou
hast
not
gone
out
with
their
hostes
,
but
hast
scattered
them
.
O
Lord
yet
heale
and
binde
vp
their
bones
which
thou
hast
broken
:
gather
them
together
,
and
now
thou
hast
taught
the
Princes
,
that
their
power
is
in
vaine
without
thy
protection
,
and
the
people
that
there
is
no
confidence
in
the
arme
of
flesh
,
giue
them
yet
confidence
in
thy
fauour
,
patience
in
aduersity
,
courage
to
fight
for
thy
Trueth
,
comfort
amidst
their
calamities
:
O
Lord
thou
doest
permit
thy
people
Israel
many
times
after
thy
long
sufferings
,
and
their
great
sinnes
to
bee
ouercome
by
the
Iebusites
,
Amalachites
and
Philistims
,
The
Arke
was
taken
,
and
they
cried
out
,
the
glory
of
Israel
was
departed
,
yet
thou
didst
send
helpe
,
when
there
was
no
helpe
nor
hope
in
Man
:
O
Lord
thou
hast
executed
Iustice
and
Iudgement
,
yet
leaue
not
thine
to
their
oppressors
,
and
when
thou
hast
dealt
with
them
according
to
thy
mercy
,
teach
them
thy
Statutes
;
that
they
may
know
thy
Testimonies
.
It
is
time
(
O
Lord
)
for
thee
to
worke
,
for
the
persecutors
of
the
Trueth
haue
destroyed
thy
Law
:
The
Kings
of
the
earth
band
themselues
,
and
the
Princes
are
assembled
together
against
the
Lord
and
his
annointed
.
O
yet
thou
Lord
of
Hostes
breake
their
bandes
in
sunder
,
and
cast
away
their
cordes
:
And
though
the
waters
rage
and
be
troubled
,
yet
let
thy
seruants
finde
and
say
;
the
Lord
of
hostes
is
with
them
,
and
the
God
of
Iacob
is
their
refuge
.
And
that
when
thy
seruants
,
our
persecuted
brethren
,
haue
receiued
comfort
and
deliuerance
;
they
may
reioyce
in
thy
mercies
,
sing
praises
vnto
thee
,
and
call
vnto
their
neighbors
,
to
behold
the
wonderfull
workes
thou
hast
done
for
them
,
to
make
it
knowen
vnto
the
world
.
It
is
thou
that
makest
wars
to
cease
:
It
is
thou
that
hast
broken
the
bowe
,
cuttest
the
speare
,
and
burnest
the
Chatiot
in
sunder
:
So
we
pray
for
them
and
for
one
another
:
Beseeching
thee
to
graunt
vs
these
requests
.
For
thy
Sonnes
sake
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
Amen
.
A

O

God
of
infinite
power
and
prouidence
,
who
after
thy
euer

bee
admired
and
praised
worke
of
creating
this
World
,
didst
ordaine
one
day
of
seauen
to
bee
kept
as
a
Sabboth
;
not
only
to
be
free
from
labour
and
trauell
,
but
to
be
wholly
dedicated
and
kept
holy
,
for
thy
seruice
in
Prayers
and
praises
,
to
be
offered
vnto
thy
Maiestie
,
as
an
incense
and
oblation
of
thankefull
acknowledgement
of
thy
most
great
might
and
mercies
;
in
creating
this
world
and
ordayning
man
to
gouerne
all
creatures
therein
conteyned
:
in
conseruing
all
these
thy
Creatures
for
his
vse
,
and
him
for
thy
seruice
,
in
giuing
him
light
of
Knowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
of
thy
Word
and
Commandement
:
and
of
the
things
hee
should
doe

or
leaue
vndone
.
As
we
receiue
these
thy
blessings
and
benefits
,
so
specially
on
this
day
,
which
thou
hast
selected
for
thy

.
O
Lord
settle

fit

for
it
,
and
grant
grace
not
only
vnto
vs
heere
present
,
but

the
publicke
state
,
and
to
particular
persons
in
other
places
:
not
only
to
rest
from
labours
on
this
day
,
but
to
shun
sinne
,
to
communicate
with
thy
seruants
in
thy

,
to

,
to
heare

where

to
come
vnto
thy
Congregations
,
and
where
thy
word
is
not
preached
,
to
vse
all
the
good
meanes
wee
may
for
maintenance
and
increase
of
knowledge
and
of
conscience
;
by
praying
,
reading
,
meditating
and
conference
.
To
this
end
(
good
Lord
)
teach
vs
to
cast
away
,
as
all
seruile
workes
,
so
sloth
,
euill
and
idle
company-keeping
,
prophane
speeches
,
with
other
euill
actions
and
thoughts
;
that
may
either
draw
vs
from
our
Christian
dueties
,
offend
thy
diuine
Maiestie
,
or
giue
euill
example
vnto
others
:
Make
our
hearts
and
Consciences
cleane
,
our
conferences
,
words
and
workes
holy
,
and
conuersation
vpright
and
pure
.
So
beginning
and
continuing
in
thy
seruice
this
day
in
such
sort
as
thou
requirest
,
wee
may
not
onely
sanctifie
this
,
but
all
the
rest
of
thy
Sabbaths
,
during
the
remayne
of
our
dayes
heere
vpon
earth
:
vntill
wee
come
to
that
Sabbath
of
Sabbaths
,
that
eternall
rest
:
reioycing
and
praysing
of
thy
Holy
and
Blessed
Name
in
the
highest
Heauens
:
wherein
grant
vs
the
assistance
of
thy
holy
Spirit
,
and
the
aide
of
thy
Sonne
our
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
.
Amen
.
A
Prayer
in
the
time
of
trouble
and
affliction
.
O
LORD
our
God
:
great
are
our
sins
,
and
heauie
are
our
visitations
:
yet
our
chastisments
are
nothing
answerable
to
our
corruption
,
wee
haue
sinned
much
and
thou
hast
suffered
vs
long
,
yet
though
our
sinnes
be
as
redde
as
scarlet
,
thou
hast
said
and
we
beleeue
that
thou
wilt
make
them
as
white
as
snow
.
Our
sinnes
do
fester
through
our
owne
Corruptions
,
cleanse
them
,
(
O
thou
the
soueraigne
&
sole
phisitian
of
our
soules
:
Since
thou
art
pleased
to
purge
vs
with
some
bitter
pills
that
vrge
vs
to
sweat
and
groane
yet
more
for
worldly
matters
then
for
the
offence
of
thy
diuine
Maiestie
.
Make
vs
therefore
first
sensible
of
our
sinnes
and
sorowfull
for
them
:
And
when
thou
hast
purged
vs
,
take
away
thy
punishments
:
Cure
first
our
soules
,
then
make
our
bodies
and
estates
sound
and
safe
:
Yet
againe
and
againe
bring
vs
backe
to
consider
and
see
from
whence
all
our
calamities
doe
come
,
Deliuer
vs
(
if
it
bee
thy
blessed
will
from
present
and
ensuing
dangers
,
or
else
graunt
vs
patience
to
vndergoe
whatsoeuer
thy
good
pleasure
shal
be
to
lay
vpon
vs
:
Renew
vs
and
then
restore
vs
to
thy
wonted
fauour
,
not
for
our
merits
but
for
the
merites
and
mercies
of
thy
beloued
Sonne
,
and
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
Amen
.
A
Prayer
when
publique
Calamities
approach
or
are
doubted
.
OOr
sinnes
(
O
Lord
)
haue
drawne
vpon
vs
thy
heauy
displeasure
and
greater
punishments
then
yet
we
feele
or
feare
,
for
wee
haue
multiplied
our
offences
,
and
yet
thou
hast
held
backe
thy
punishing
hand
,
wee
haue
not
been
allured
by
thy
merits
though
they
be
many
,
nor
admonished
by
thy
chastisements
sent
to
draw
vs
vnto
conformity
:
But
rather
thy
long
suffering
hath
made
vs
more
secure
,
hard
hearted
and
negligent
:
This
hath
caused
thee
sometimes
to
send
signes
of
thy
fearefull
wrath
,
as
sickenesse
,
vnseasonable
weather
,
want
of
meanes
to
maintaine
many
who
heretofore
haue
liued
well
:
Our
brethren
abroad
professing
the
same
Religion
suffer
many
heauy
pressuers
and
are
in
much
perill
,
wee
at
home
though
we
haue
long
enioyed
the
liberty
of
exercising
the
Religion
wee
professe
,
yet
our
coldnesse
and
carelessenes
in
practising
(
besides
our
many
other
sins
)
hath
hindered
the
propagation
of
piety
,
dishonored
thy
name
,
and
indangered
the
truth
:
O
Lord
,
yet
at
length
,
humble
vs
in
the
sight
and
sense
of
these
our
sins
:
Teach
vs
to
learne
,
consider
and
remember
,
that
for
such
,
if
not
for
lesse
sinnes
,
thou
didst
consume
Sodom
,
draw
the
deluge
ouer
the
whole
earth
,
and
destroy
,
almost
consume
at
an
instant
all
the
Creatures
of
the
World
.
Yet
neither
these
examples
nor
our
own
chastisements
haue
preuailed
to
perswade
vs
vnto
true
humiliation
,
repentance
and
amendment
of
life
:
But
now
of
late
when
thou
hast
sent
signes
in
the
ayre
,
inundations
of
waters
,
pestilence
,
pouerty
,
decay
of
trades
:
and
hast
found
amongst
vs
a
decrease
of
desire
to
doe
good
:
a
desire
to
deceiue
,
p●ide
of
hart
,
delicious
and
luxurious
liuing
,
periury
,
and
perfidious
dealing
,
profanation
of
thy
Name
,
Word
and
Sacraments
:
So
that
there
being
little
hope
of
better
beliefe
,
or
of
better
liuing
when
thy
sword
of
Iustice
is
ready
to
be
drawne
,
the
light
of
trueth
in
some
danger
to
be
diminished
;
and
wee
to
receiue
such
punishments
as
we
most
iustly
haue
deserued
:
Yet
consider
wee
are
the
workemanship
ordained
for
thy
seruice
:
And
though
the
Axe
should
be
put
vnto
the
tree
,
ready
to
out
of
our
liues
,
estates
and
sauing
knowledge
,
yet
correct
,
but
doe
not
(
for
thy
mercies
sake
)
confound
vs
;
reforme
but
do
not
destroy
vs
:
Make
vs
yet
new
creatures
:
O
spare
and
de●iuer
vs
from
the
euill
daies
to
come
:
Thou
desirest
not
the
death
of
sinners
,
but
rather
Conuersion
,
Let
vs
yet
liue
to
honor
thee
whom
we
haue
dishono●ed
;
Though
long
peace
and
much
plenty
hath
set
vs
a●●eepe
,
and
prouoked
vs
to
much
pride
and
presumption
,
yet
let
vs
with
Hezechiah
,
turning
to
the
wall
and
weeping
,
be
repriued
from
that
sentence
which
our
sinnes
haue
sent
out
against
vs
:
and
let
vs
learne
to
serue
thee
and
not
Sathan
:
So
being
preserued
by
thy
mercy
wee
may
yeeld
Honour
and
praise
to
thy
eternall
Maiestie
.
A
Prayer
against
the
raigning
sins
that
a
man
findes
to
remaine
in
himselfe
.
LOrd
God
,
how
senselesse
am
I
of
mine
owne
sinnes
,
that
cannot
see
nor
feele
those
I
daily
and
continually
commit
:
Some
are
secret
and
concealed
from
my self
which
I
know
not
or
cannot
conceiue
.
And
those
though
lesse
haynous
,
or
at
the
least
,
lesse
vnderstood
,
yet
too
heauy
for
me
to
beare
,
Other
greater
and
more
grieuous
by
mee
not
acknowledged
,
or
not
repented
:
and
amongst
many
more
that
I
passe
ouer
without
any
examination
of
my selfe
or
repentance
for
them
:
Those
cleaue
most
to
the
corruptions
of
mine
owne
nature
,
as
pride
,
selfe
conceit
,
and
other
sinnes
whereto
I
am
most
subiect
,
&c.
These
presse
mee
most
,
and
others
too
much
;
yet
pardon
mee
(
O
Lord
)
pardon
that
is
past
,
purge
me
from
them
for
time
to
come
,
cleanse
the
corruptions
of
my
nature
,
cure
the
Contagion
that
comes
by
euill
company
and
the
inticements
of
others
,
with
whose
fashions
,
wits
,
faces
or
flatteries
,
wee
are
seduced
:
And
for
mine
owne
inward
concupiscense
which
easily
sets
it selfe
on
fire
:
O
Lord
quench
it
with
the
cooling
and
comforting
giftes
of
Grace
,
sobrietie
,
temperance
and
circumspection
.
Bee
thou
(
most
gracious
God
)
that
good
Samaritan
,
to
poure
into
my
wounded
soule
the
oyle
of
thy
mercy
,
that
so
these
destroyers
of
my
soule
being
by
thee
destroyed
,
I
may
then
surely
say
,
O
Death
where
is
thy
sting
:
O
Hell
where
is
thy
victory
,
and
blesse
thee
,
who
hast
blessed
mee
with
thine
abundant
mercies
:
to
whom
bee
praises
and
glorie
for
euer
Amen
.
A
Prayer
necessary
to
be
vsed
often
O
LORD
God
most
mighty
mercifull
and
iust
,
who
hast
created
all
things
of
nothing
only
by
thy
power
and
word
,
who
hast
preserued
all
that
thou
hast
made
,
and
doest
saue
all
those
that
doe
faithfully
call
and
trust
on
thee
.
Wee
most
miserable
and
wretched
sinners
doe
confesse
vnto
thee
against
our selues
to
our
owne
shame
and
to
thy
glory
,
that
wee
were
borne
and
conceiued
in
sinne
,
that
wee
haue
liued
and
continued
in
sinne
:
that
our
whole
liues
haue
beene
nothing
else
but
a
heaping
vp
of
sinne
and
iniquity
against
thy
Holy
and
Heauenly
Maiestie
:
That
there
is
no
sinne
in
his
owne
nature
so
heynous
,
or
to
thee
so
displeasing
but
either
wee
haue
committed
or
else
wee
haue
a
pronenesse
to
commit
the
same
.
The
sinnes
of
our
youth
;
of
our
riper
age
and
of
our
later
,
euen
of
these
last
time
shaue
flowed
one
vpon
another
,
and
haue
polluted
our
soules
,
defiled
our
bodies
,
and
displeased
thy
Maiestie
,
so
that
there
is
nothing
due
vnto
vs
,
if
thou
shouldst
deale
with
vs
according
to
our
deserts
,
but
death
and
destruction
in
this
life
,
Hell
and
perdition
in
the
life
to
come
.
Whither
then
should
we
flie
for
succour
and
reliefe
:
If
we
goe
vnto
Man
,
his
breath
is
in
his
nostrils
:
that
perishing
he
perisheth
:
If
wee
goe
vnto
Angels
,
or
to
any
power
in
Heauen
,
they
haue
no
power
but
what
they
receiue●
from
thee
;
We
come
therefore
vnto
thee
,
whose
mercy
is
aboue
all
thy
workes
,
beseeching
thee
in
the
multitude
of
thy
mercies
to
haue
compassion
on
vs
.
And
in
that
loue
(
which
thou
shewedst
vnto
Mankind
,
in
sending
thy
Son
to
suffer
for
vs
,
and
to
saue
vs
sinners
,
that
thou
wouldst
by
his
blood
,
death
and
suffering
,
wash
away
our
sinnes
:
And
since
thou
hast
sent
him
to
Redeeme
vs
,
suffer
vs
not
to
be
destroyed
:
O
Lord
GOD
,
graunt
vs
penitence
and
true
repentance
for
our
sins
past
,
watchfulnesse
ouer
all
our
wayes
for

to

,
Care
to
keepe
thy
Comman

,

of
Satan
.
Humility

Charitie
towards

:
and

,
To
this
end
(
gracious

take
from

,
and
giue

and

beloued
of

.
Take
from
vs
hardnesse
of
heart
,
dulnesse
and
slownes
,
in
comming
to
thy
seruice
,
Neglect
of
those
Holy
duties
thou
requirest
vs
to
doe
:
Contempt
of
thy

,
Misbeliefe
,
Vnbeliefe
,
Despaire
and
doubting
of

:
Distrust
of

,
Faith

,
feruour
in

:
faithfulnesse
in
maintenance
of
thy

:
courage
to
lay
downe
our

for
the

of
thy

Gospell
:
thankefulnesse
for

:
a

in

cerity

Liberalitie
(
according

)
to
those
that
are
in

.
And
when
thou
hast
fitted
vs
for
thy
seruice
,
and
furnished
our
hearts
with
thy
good
graces
,
then
send
vs
the
ioy
of
thy
Holy
Spirit
,
a
detestation
of
our
former
euill
courses
,
delight
in
keeping
thy
Lawes
,
a
desire
to
bee
dissolued
in
thy
good
appointed
time
,
a
meditation
of
our
fraile
liues
,
and
a
preparation
for
our
vncertaine
deaths
:
And
now
(
O
blessed
Lord
)
wee
pray
not
for
our selues
alone
here
present
,
but
for
thy
despised
,
dispersed
and
distressed
flocke
throgh
the
face
of
the
earth
:
It
is
a
little
flocke
.
O
Lord
increase
it
:
It
is
dispersed
,
O
Lord
gather
them
together
into
thy
fold
:
It
is
despised

Lord
succour
defend
&
support
them
:
Let
not
the
wild
Boares
destroy
thy
Vineyard
;
nor
the
fat
Bulles
of
Basan
inuiron
and
ouerwhelme
thy
chosen

,
&
those
that
loue
thy
trueth
:
Thou
hast
heretofore
hedged
thy
Syon
,
Thou
hast
mightily
and
miraculously
defended
thy
chosen
Israel
:
Thy
hand
is
not
shortned
thy
power
is
still
the

:
Let
not
therefore
those
that
loue
not
thy

or
them
that
loue
it
,
say
;
where
is
now
their

Be

an

of

a

of
our
former
irreligious
life
That
so
when
wee
shall
part
from
this
place
,
wee
may
part
from
our
sinnes
,
but
not
from
sorrow
for
hauing
committed
them
;
but
may
leaue
them
and
leade
a
better
life
,
till
wee
bee
brought
from
death
to
that
life
where
sorrow
and
sin
raigneth
not
,
where
death
hath
no

,
and
where

This

A
Prayer
against
Pride
anger
and
Enuy.
O
LORD
God
who
seest
and
searchest
the
secrets
of
all
mens
hearts
;
Thou
that
knowest
how
subiect
I
am
to
Pride
,
Anger
and
Enuie
:
My
heart
(
good
Lord
)
is
puffed
vp
with
pride
,
it
swess
with
selfe
conceipt
,
vaine
glory
and
ostentation
:
I
take
too
much
pride
of
those
parts
of
my
Bodie
,
as
beautie
,
strength
and
stature
,
and
make
my selfe
beleeue
they
are
much
more
faire
and
fashionable
then
indeede
they
are
.
So
am
I
efflated
and
blowne
vp
like
a
bladder
with
conceit
of
mine
owne
knowledg
,
wit
,
vnderstanding
and
skill
,
making
them
greater
and
more
goodly
vnto
my selfe
then
they
are
or
can
bee
;
These
foule
faults
(
gracious
God
)
sometimes
I
finde
in
my selfe
,
but
nothing
so
often
as
I
commit
them
:
And
though
now
I
confesse
it
,
yet
I
haue
no
power
of
my selfe
to
forsake
this
sinne
,
by
which
our
first
Parents
fell
out
of
Paradise
,
and
we
his
sinnefull
Progeny
follow
the
same
steppes
,
and
are
ready
thereby
to
runne
headlong
vnto
Hell
.
O
yet
(
most
merciful
father
)
clense
me
from
this
corruption
,
cure
me
and
I
shal
be
cleane
,
graunt
me
a
lowly
,
penitent
and
humble
heart
:
Teach
me
to
thinke
worse
of
my selfe
for
my
sins
then
of
other
men
whose
faults
I
know
not
;
that
I
may
not
thinke
so
well
of
my selfe
to
contemne
others
:
O
teach
me
to
learne
meckenesse
of
thee
my
Sauiour
,
who
in
thy
humanitie
hast
ledde
vs
to
the
way
of
humblenes
and
meeknesse
both
of
thy
precepts
and
practise
:
Thou
hast
said
,
learne
of
me
for
I
am
meeke
,
O
sweet
Sauiour
,
what
precept
could
bee
sweeter
,
better
or
what
Example
could
bee
more
Holy
and
perfect
.
If
Lucifer
an
Angel
of
Heauen
could
not
bee
safe
but
was
cast
downe
from
thence
through
pride
and
arrogancy
:
How
should
I
bee
safe
whilest
I
commit
this
sinne
so
much
,
and
so
often
heere
on
earth
:
Purge
me
therefore
O
God
from
Pride
,
and
leade
me
by
thy
Heauenly
hand
vnto
Humility
,
and
lowlines
of
heart
:
Lord
God
how
much
am
I
ouerwhelmed
with
wrath
and
anger
,
how
suddainly
incensed
,
vpon
how
small
and
slender
occasions
am
I
moued
by
wrath
to
vse
reproach
,
and
to
seeke
reuenge
,
to
forsake
Charity
,
to
seeke
others
harme
,
and
to
aduenture
mine
owne
ruine
;
so
that
my
minde
cannot
be
peaceable
and
quiet
:
Sodainely
by
anger
,
reason
is
disturbed
,
loue
and
good
will
forsaken
,
Faith
broken
,
and
fury
drawing
mee
almost
to
madnesse
,
by
which
I
breake
the
bounds
of
Christian
Charitie
,
I
beseech
thee
(
good
Lord
)
(
who
feest
how
much
I
am
subiect
to
this
finne
)
make
me
more
patient
and
peaceable
,
suppresse
this
passion
of
anger
in
me
,
that
I
may
passe
by
small
offences
and
may
not
bee
sodainely
prouoked
vnto
impatience
:
O
Lord
infuse
into
me
moderation
and
modestie
,
temperance
and
sobriety
,
by
which
,
and
especially
by
the
assistance
of
thy
holy
Spirit
,
I
may
bee
able
to
master
anger
and
passion
,
the
furies
of
my
minde
,
and
the
enemies
of
my
Soule
,
And
if
anger
at
any
time
seize
on
mee
,
graunt
that
it
may
be
setled
on
the
zeale
of
thy
truth
,
and
the
seruice
of
thee
my
God
,
for
the
suppressing
of
superstition
,
and
the
seeking
to
vindicate
thine
honour
against
such
as
seeke
to
dishonour
thee
by
Atheisme
,
profanenesse
and
impiety
,
yet
so
as
I
sin
not
by
rashnesse
or
reuiling
,
but
by
making
a
difference
betwixt
the
persons
and
their
peruersenes
,
reseruing
Charitie
to
the
one
,
and
labouring
reformation
of
the
other
:
take
from
me
O
Lord
God
,
enuy
and
malice
,
suffer
me
not
to
fret
at
the
prosperity
of
any
,
no
not
of
the
wicked
and
impious
persons
whose
bounds
are
set
,
beyond
which
they
shall
not
bee
able
to
goe
,
much
lesse
let
me
enuy
them
who
walke
in
vpright
waies
.
But
if
through
offence
or
iniuries
I
haue
been
at
any
time
prouoked
to
proceede
against
them
yet
let
mee
not
continue
with
them
in
contention
through
dislike
or
disgust
to
wish
them
euill
:
But
teach
me
by
singlenesse
and
sincerity
of
heart
to
shunne
the
malicing
of
any
man
;
that
so
shewing
mercy
and
meekenesse
I
may
receiue
mercy
from
thee
that
art
the
Lord
of
mercy
:
to
whom
bee
giuen
Honour
and
glory
now
and
for
euer
Amen
.

from

and
lead

,
Feare

on
euery

,
my

&
Spirit

but
thy
holy

What

(
most

)
shall
I
render
vnto
thee
for

and
preseruation
:
But
that
I

And

,
and
to

thy
workes
vnto
the
people
,
to
sing
vnto
thee
prayses
for
this
thy
mercy
in
deliuering
me
from

danger
of
Death
;
And
now
that
thou
hast
restored

,
O

restore
mee
to
thy

:
And
as

I
may
bee

of

:
and
seeking
thy
glory
both
now
,
and

times
,
Amen

A
Prayer
for
the
mainetenance
of
Peace
.
O
LORD
God
most
mighty
and
gracious
:
Our
sinnes
are
great
and
grieuous
,
our
pride
,
malice
and
ambition
,
begets
contentions
,
whence
growes
Warres
and
Desolation
:
Blood-shedding
and
destruction
:
thou
that
art
the
Lord
of
Hostes
,
seest
it
is
in
the
hands
of
Princes
to
make
warres
,
but
it
is
in
thy
power
only
to
end
them
,
and
to
saue
thy
people
:
Great
are
the
gatherings
and
forces
already
of
armed
men
,
ready
to
destroy
one
another
,
and
great
is
like
to
be
the
slaughter
,
Except
thou
most
mercifull
God
,
be
pleased
to
pacifie
the
minds
of
the
Princes
,
and
of
the
People
,
and
to
saue
them
who
otherwise
will
fall
to
slaughter
.
Take
yet
(
most
gracious
God
)
thine
owne
Cause
into
thine
own
hand
,
help
thy
people
that
professethy
truth
,
lest
they
perish
:
Preserue
them
from
perills
:
Saue
,
good
Lord
,
such
as
serue
thee
in
truth
,
and
call
vpon
thee
in
sincerity
of
heart
:
Let
not
the
Mightie
ouerwhelme
thy
chosen
Children
,
but
either
let
the
Oppressors
feele
thy
power
,
or
make
them
to
incline
their
heartes
vnto
peace
,
and
so
saue
the
effusion
of
bloud
,
and
temper
the
hearts
of
Christian
Princes
that
they
may
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
truth
,
that
Mercy
and
Truth
may
meet
together
,
that
righteousnesse
and
peace
may
kisse
each
other
.
So
bee
it
,
good
Lord
.
