¶ The first forme of prayer . 1.

VP O sinfull soule , and looke vpon the Lorde of light , and lyfe : sée thine owne state : how thou art clothed with ignorance , sinne and shame : how thou art deformed , an abominable filthie , and ouglye Monstar : a caytife and a bond slaue to Sathan : a fleshly beast and a foole : vnworthy to lyft thy head toward the seate and maiestie of our God : or to stand in the assembly of the wyse . Therfore shake off thy earthly stuggishnes : and get thée before the Lorde of grace and mercy , in lowlines and repentaunce , hée is full of fatherly pitie and compassion and will not refuse thée : submitte thy selfe with teares : and he will accept thée : he will forgeue thée thy sinnes , and enritche thée with wisedome beautie and glory . Therfore tarye not , and thou shalt be blessed .

¶ O spare me a little , and suffer me to recouer my strength O Lord , before I goe from hence and be no more seene .

TO thée O Lord , belongeth mercye and forgeuenes : Bowe downe thy fatherly eye , O God , and pitifullye beholde the dampnable state of mée thy wretched and sinfull seruaunt , which am vnworthy , but through thy incomprehencible mercye , once to thinke , much lesse to lifte my head and voyce toward thy heauenly seate and maiestie . Therfore in the bowelles of thy fatherly loue and pitie , I beseche thée O déere Father for Christ Iesus sake thy swéete Sonne our Sauiour , to mollifie my hart with thy grace , that humbly confessing my manifold sinnes and wickednes , and from the botome of my hart throughly repentinge the same . I maye by thaide of thy holy spirite , frame and gouerne the rest of my lyfe in the wayes of thy commaundementes , that iustified in thy grace , I may with the rest of thy chosen sainctes , geue continuall prayse and thanks vnto thy eternall maiestie , through Christ our déere Lorde and Sauiour : Who with thée and the holy Ghost , reigneth in vnitie of glory and power sanctified for euer and euer . Amen .

Psalmes .

BLessed are they that walke in thy lawes O Lord , for they are , vndefiled in the waye .

Blessed are they that kéepe thy testimonies : sekinge thée in the truth of their hart .

I make my humble petition vnto thée , with my whole hart : O be mercifull vnto me according to thy word .

Instructe my hart in thy wisedome , teach me O Lord , and lead me forth in thy pathes : open my lippes to publish thy prayse , exalting the glory of thy maiestie with thanks geuing . For thou art the Lord our God , thou haste fashoned and made vs , and not we our selues .

We are thy people , whom thou hast prepared in the secrets and power of thy wisedome .

We are thy shéepe whom thou preseruest , and fillest with the bountie of thy blessing .

The heauens & earth with all the things in them contayned , are the workes of thy hands O God , framed , wrought , gouerned and preserued , by thy omnipotent wyll and power .

All thinges depend of thée O Lord , and without thée is no beinge .

Lord thou hast bene our refuge from one generation to another , before the mounteynes weare brought forth : or euer the worlde was made : thou art our God from euerlasting , and world without ende .

Be mercifull vnto me therfore O my god : let me come before thy presence with songes of thankesgeuinge , reioycing in thée O Lord the strength of my saluation .

My soule cleaueth fast vnto the dust , O quicken thou me according to thy truth , facioninge my harte , after thy Testimonies , for therein is lyfe .

O turne awaye myne eyes from vanitie , and my harte from coueteousnes , and quicken me in the wayes of thy statutes O God .

Thou art gratious O Lord , make me obedient vnto thy word , for thy mercy endureth for euer .

GRatious and righteous art thou Lorde , thou teachest sinners in the way : her est them when the cal vpon thée and sauest them in thy mercye .

Great is thy mercy O Lord , full of compassion longe suffering and ready to forgeue , plenteous in goodnes and truth .

Thy mercifull kindnes is euer more and more toward vs : thy truth O Lorde is euerlastinge .

Myne eyes are lookinge towarde thée O God , paciently waitinge for thy mercy wherin I trust .

Hide not thy face from me O Lorde , for I am in trouble : O hast thée to succour me .

Deale with me according to thy name , O God , sweete is thy mercy , O deliuer me , for I am weake and helpelesse , my hart is wounded within me : my comforte is in thy worde O Lord .

Vnto thée O Lord doe I lifte vp my soule : in thée is my trust , let me not be confounded , neither , let the enemie triumphe ouer me .

Leaue me not in dessolation and misery O Lord , least th' enimie hath cause to saye , that thou hast forsaken me , and lefte me to the will of his tirrannye .

Here me , O Lord , in the multitude of thy mercyes , and in the truth of thy saluation deliuer me .

I goe hence lyke the shadow of a clowd , and am driuen awaye as the grasse hopper .

My beautie wythereth as the haye , and my glory fadeth as the flower of the féelde .

As the whéele ronneth her course , so passe I through this vale , caryinge nothing with me , neither haue I time to behold the things I haue .

My lyfe is but a spanne longe , I am euer lookinge into my graue : for the place wherin I now florish , is redy to refuse me , neither will it receaue me any more .

O Lord teach me to consider the shortnes of my dayes , and sapplie my hart to wisedome .

Thou art of my inheritaunce the onely portion : I haue chosen thée for my parte , forsake me not O God .

Thou art alwayes by me , thou O Lorde hast holden me vp by my right hand .

Whom haue I in heauen but thée , neither is there any in earth that I desire , but onely thée O Lord .

My flesh and my harte are weake , and euer fayling , but thou God art the strength of my soule , and my porcion for euer .

Be thou my strong holde O Lord , wherevnto I may alway resorte : thou hast promised to helpe me , thou art my house of defence and my Castle .

Rydde me O Lorde and deliuer me in thy righteousnes : Incline thine eare to me and saue me .

Through thée haue I bene holden vp , euer sithens I was borne : thou art he that toke me out of my mothers wombe : my prayse shal be alwayes of thée .

Call to remembrance thy tender mercies which haue bene euer of olde .

Remember not the sinnes and offences of my youth : but according to thy mercy thinke thou vpon me O Lorde for thy goodnes .

Cast me not out of thy presence , forsake me not in my weakenes , but comfort me in thy mercy O God .

Sh●we me thy wayes , teach me thy truth , and lead me forth in the pathes therof O Lorde .

Teach me thy statutes , O God & quicken me with thy grace for thou Lord art my Sauiour , in thée onely is my hope and trust foreuermore .

Go not farre from me O God : God hast thée to deliuer me .

Take me out of the myre that I sinke not , O saue me from theym that hate me : Yea out of the handes of the vnrighteous and cruell man , Lord deliuer me .

Let not the water flooddes of sinne and sorowe drowne me , let not the depe swallowe me vppe , let not the pitte shutte her mouth on me , O my Sauiour .

Drawe nighe vnto my soule and saue it , O deliuer me because of thy righteousnes .

Holde vp my goinges O Lord , and guide my footesteppes in thy pathes that I slippe not .

I call vpon thée O Lorde , for thou wilte here me : incline thyne care vnto me , and harken vnto my wordes .

Shew thy maruailouse louing kindnesse , thou that art of them that trust in thée , the gracious Lord and Sauiour .

When my harte is in heauines , I will from the endes of the earth , call vpon thée O God , and thou shalt set me vpon thy rocke , for thou art my hope and stronge Tower against the enimie .

I wyll dwell in thy tabernacle for euer , and my trust shal be vnder the couering of thy winges O God .

Thou hast geuen a tooken to such as feare thée , that they may triumphe because of thy truth .

Thou O Lord herest the desires of thy seruauntes , and geuest an heritage to theyme that feare and loue thy name .

Therefore are thy beloued deliuered , here me O Lord and helpe me .

O stablish me according to thy word that I may lyue , and let me not be disapoynted of my hope .

Holde thou me vp and I shal be safe , yea my delight shal be euer in thy statutes .

Thou O Lorde art my defence and my shield , my trust is in thy worde .

Therfore wyll I goe forth in the strength of thy grace , makinge mention of thy righteousnes .

Then will I ioyefully singe to thée , O my God : for thou art my refuge my mercifull Lord and Sauiour .

THou O God sendest raygne vpon thyne inheritaunce , and refreshest it when it is weary .

Thy congregations shall dwell therein , for thou . O Lord , hast prepared for the poore .

Thou hast geuen thy word , O God , great is thy beautie and power of thy messengers , let righteousnes possesse the land O lord .

Yea Lord let thy gratious light of thy mercifull countenaunce , shyne vpon thy people .

Geue knowledge of the wayes to the simple : let all nations see the saluation of thy Sainctes .

Let all tongues and kinreddes prayse thy name O God , and reioyce , for thou wilt iudge thy folke in the righteousnes of thy truth .

Thy kingdome is ouer al , make thy name knowne , from one end of the earth to the other .

Thou art our God O Lord , and thou onely art to be praysed : which helpest vs in our distresse , and fillest vs with thy benifittes .

Thou art our God , euen the God from whom commeth saluation : thou art our Lord and God by whom we scape death and distruction .

O thinke vpon thy congregation whom thou hast redemed and purchased of olde .

Thinke vppon the tribe of thine inheritaunce , and mount Sion wherein thou haste dwelte .

Suffer not thaduersary to triumphe , that blasphemeth thy name , plucke thy hand out of thy bosome and consume theyme .

Lifte vp thy féete , thou that maiest distroy euery enimie , which meaneth to do euill in thy sanctuary .

Let thine enemies be scattered , O Lord arise and vanquishe theyme for euermore .

Make them to vanishe lyke the smoke that they be no more sene : yea let the glory and power of the vngodly perishe at thy presence O God , so , that it may haue no more place vpon earth .

Let their table be made a snare to take theym selues withall : and let the thinges that should haue bene to there wealth be an occasion of there distruction .

Let their eyes be blind and sée not , and euer bowe downe their backes .

Power out thine indignation vpon them , and let all thy wrathfull displeasure take hold of theim .

Let them fall , from one wickednes to another , and not come vnto thy righteousnes .

Let them be wyped out of the Booke of lyfe : and not be written amonges the righteous .

Let all theym be ashamed and consumed that seke after the soules of the Innocentes : yea let theym perishe without redemption , that , for hatred to thy name , immagine myschéefe to thy Sainctes .

Thou art our God and Kyng of olde , the helpe that is done vpon earth , it is thou thy selfe that doest O Lord .

O deliuer not the soule of thy turtle Doue vnto the multitude of her enimies , forget not the congregation of the poore for euer .

Geue victory vnto thy people , deliuer them , and make them to dippe their féele in the bloud of thyne enymies .

Looke vpon thy couenaunt O God , let not the simple goe awaye ashamed , but let the poore reioyce & be merry in that there Sauiour :

Let the righteous geue thankes , in thabundaunce of peace , and prayse thy name , O Lord for euer and euer . Amen .

CHAP. XVII . of Iohn .

THese things spake Iesus , and lift vp his eyes to heauen , & said , Father the houre is come : glorifie thy Sonne , that thy Sonne also may glorifie thē , As thou haste giuen him power ouer all fleshe , that he shulde giue eternal life , to all them that thou hast giuen him . And this is life eternal , that they knowe thee to be the onely verie God , and whome thou hast sent . Iesus Christ . I haue glorified thee on the earth : I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to do , And now glorifi me , thou Father , with thine owne selfe , with the glorie which I had with thee before the worlde was . I haue declarede thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the worlde : thine they were , and thou gauest them me , and they haue kept thy worde . Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me , are of the . For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me , and they haue receiued them , and haue known surely that I came out from thee , and haue beleued that thou hast sent me . I pray for them : I pray not for the world , but for them which thou hast geuen me : for they are thyne . And all mine are thine , and thine are mine , and I am glorified in them . And now am I no more in the worlde , but these are in the worlde , and I come to thee . Holy Father , kepe them in thy Name , euen them whom thou hast geuen me , that they may be one , as we are . Whyle I was with them in the world , I kept them in thy name : those that thou gauest me , haue I kept , and none of them is lost , but the childe of perdition , that the Scripture might be fulfilled . And nowe come I to thee , and these thinges speake I in the worlde , that they might haue my ioye fulfilled in them selues . I haue geuen them thy worde , and the worlde hath hated them , because they are not of the worlde , as I am not of the world . I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the worlde , but that thou kepe them from euill . They are not of the world , as I am not of the worlde . Sanctifie them with thy trueth : thy word is trueth . As thou didest send me into the world , so haue I sent them into the worlde . And for their sakes santifie I my selfe , that they also may be sanctified through the trueth . I praye not for these alone , but for them also which shall beleue in me , through their worde . That they all may be one , as thou , O Father , art in me , and I in thee : euen that they may be also one in vs , that the world may beleue that thou hast sent me . And the glory that thou gauest me , I haue geuen them , that they may be one , as we are one , I in them , and thou in me , that they may be made perfect in one , and that the world may knowe , that thou hast sent me , and hast loued them , as thou hast loued me . Father , I will that they which thou hast giuen me , be with me euen where I am , that they may behold my glory , which thou hast geuen me : for thou louedst me before the foundation of the world . O righteous Father , the world also hath not knowne thee , but I haue knowne thee , and these haue knowne , that thou hast sent me . And I haue declared vnto them thy Name , and wyll declare it , that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me , may be in them , and I in them .

WE acknowledge and prayse thée O glorious God almightie , maker of heauen and earth . Creatour of all thinges visible and inuisible .

To thée O Lord , all powers doe bowe , heauen and earth with all that is in them , are gouerned by thy will , as obedient to thy commaundement .

Eche thinge doth testifie thy glorye and power , O God .

The Angelles and Sainctes continually crye vnto thée , Holy art thou , holy art thou , holy art thou , which was , is , and euer shal be .

The Patriarches and Prophets with thy chosen Sainctes and witnesses , haue testified and taught thy holy truth will and maiestie .

They haue witnessed the promised Messias , his incarnation , and natiuitie

His Baptisme and annoynting , his workes , and doctrine , his apprehension and examination . His death and passion , his resurrection , and ascention .

The procéedinge of the holy Ghost the promised comforter .

Who purchasing our hartes , by the operation of thy grace , fashioneth the same , to beleue the premisses .

And that thy déere Sonne Christ Iesus through his bloud and righteousnes : hath deliuered vs from the cursse of the lawe , reconcilinge vs to thy fauour .

So that being called through frée grace and adoption , we are made coheires with him whereby we call Father .

He sitteth on thy right hand , gloryfied with maiestie and power our all .

He maketh continuall intercession for sinners : tyll the number of thy chosen be filled .

Then shall the ende come , Heauen and Earth shal be disolued , the liuinge shal be changed , the dead shall arise : and he shall come with glory to iudge them bothe .

Him with thée O Father , we prayse and glorifye : by whose merittes and righteousnes thou hast opened the kyngdome of Heauen , to thine electe , wherfore , O Lorde helpe thy seruauntes . Whom thou hast redéemed with the precious bloud of thy Sonne .

Make vs to be numbred , with thy chosen to enioye , the glory and blisse euerlasting .

Saue thy people O Lord , and blesse thine

inheritage .

Gouerne vs , and guide vs , and defend vs , against the world and Sathan .

Communicate thy grace vnto vs , that we beinge filled with thy giftes O Lorde , maye euermore prayse thy name with continuall thankesgeuinge .

Circumsise our harts with thy grace , that beinge decided from this witching world : we may wholy cleaue vnto thée , O Lord .

Lift vs vp out of the myre O God , that we sinke not in corruption . Deliuer vs O Christ our Sauiour , from sinne and death , that we may possesse the kyngdome which thou hast prepared for thy Sainctes .

O Lord haue mercy vpon vs , haue mercy vpon vs Lord , and let the light of thy countenaunce shine vpon vs.

Make vs to put our trust in thée O Lord , so shall we neuer be confounded .

Arme our hartes with humilitie and pacience O God , that cleauinge fast vnto thée , we maye despise and vanquishe , the malice , wrath , assaultes , and persecutions of Sathan and this wicked worlde . For in thée is our helpe comforte and saluation .

¶ Prayers .

O Mercifull Lord and louinge father , that for performance of thy mercy promised , in the secret purpose of thine inserchable will and power : didest send thy déere Sonne to take vpon him our fleshly shape & substaunce : in whom thou art pleased , and by whose merites and righteousnes thou art pacified , toward such of Adames losse children , as thou hast chosen and called to saluation , throughe fayth and holy conuersation in Christ Iesus . As it hath pleased thy deuine maiestie of thy frée grace and goodnes , to reueale thy selfe vnto vs wretches by the working of thy holy Spirite in beleuing the Gospel of thy Sonne : So be it thy will O louing Father , pardoninge our frailties , to haue mercy vpon vs : ayding our infirmities with the power of thy grace , against the concupisence of the filthy flesh , against the illusions of the foolish world , and against the craftle suggestions of Sathan : that we be not ouercomed nor hurted therby , but fastened in thy Sonne , to growe in all maner of godlines , to that heauenly perfection that is requisite in thy sainctes , for the glorifyinge of thy name : wherby we may possesse the glorie , blisse , and eternall lyfe which thou hast promised and performest to all them that thou art willing to saue , in the bloud and righteousnes of thy swéete Sonne , Christ the Sauiour : to whom with thée and the holy Ghost , reigninge in vnitie of maiestie power and glory be all prayse honour and thankes for euer more . Amen .

O Déere Father for thy swete Sonnes sake Iesus Christ our mercifull Lord and Sauiour , haue mercy vpon vs. And in the bowelles of thy fatherly goodnes and pittie , here vs sinners : here vs good Lorde , and for the glory of thy name graunt our humble petitions . Which we offer vnto thy deuine maiestie , throughe Christ our redéemer and aduocate .

O Mercifull Lord and louing Father that of thine inserchable prouidence , goodnes and power , dydest prepare the glorious globe of heauenly light , to walke and appere in the bondes of thy commaundement , to the vniuersall comforte , preseruation and blisse of man in this transitory beinge , and the rest of thy creatures , comprehended within the compasse of the transitory and visible heauens Geue vs thy frayle and drerie seruauntes the light of thy heauenly grace , so to shyne in our hartes , that leading our liues in pure holines and vertue : we maye ioyefully féele the presence of thy diuine maiestie in our soules to the inuincible , gladnes , strength , peace , and saluation of the same : throughe thy déere Sonne Christ Iesus our Sauiour , reyguing with thée and the holy Ghost , in vnitie of maiestie , eternall honour and glory , praised and halowed for euermore . Amen .

O Mercifull Lord and louing Father , looke fauorably vpon me thy frayle & wretched creature : humble my harte to the repentant confession of my sinnes , geue me the helpe of thy holy spirite to amend my lyfe : and O Lorde , guide and blesse all my thoughtes , workes , and words , with thy heauenly grace , that in all things obaying thy wil . I may worthely , through Christ giue honor , glory & praise to thée o father , in this & in the world to com amen

O Father of grace , mercy , and comforte , thou knowest my wantes and imperfections , reforme me , and blesse me , preserue me . In thy tuition , make me obedient , faythfull and diligent in my vocation , euer reioycinge in thée O Lord , through my Sauiour Christ : in whose bloud and righteousnes thou hast purchased thy chosen saincts to beleue in thy promises to their saluation , wherby iustified in thy mercy , we are bolde notwithstanding thodiouse bourden of our sinnes , through thy déere sonne Iesus , to call vpon thy most glorious maiestie as he hath taught vs saying with humble and ioyefull hartes .

¶ Our father which art in heauen halowed be thy name , thy kyngdome come , thy wil be done in earth , as it is in heauen : geue vs this daye our dayly bread : forgeue vs our trespasses : as we forgiue them that trespasse against vs. And lead vs not into temptation , but deliuer vs from euill , for thou onely art Kyng , thou onely art mightie , thou onely art glorious , praysed in thy workes for euer more . Amen .

O Lord saue thy Church , and blesse thy congregations .

Lord make thy name knowen and feared throughout all the worlde , and let all nations professe Christ the Sauiour in the truth of thy Gospell .

Lord destroye th'enimies of thy word , And defend the louers of the same .

Geue vs plentie of true Preachers and Ministers of thy worde .

And make vs habundant in good workes . Lorde comforte the poore .

And make the ritche plentifull in charitie .

Lorde blesse thy people with grace .

That in all thinges they maye séeke the glory of thy name .

Blesse me O God , and preserue me in thy fatherly tuition : powre forth th'abundante bountie of thy good gyftes vpon my poore familye and children .

That in the ritches of peace , ioye , and loue , we maye prayse and magnifie thy name , to the which be all honour and thankes for euer and euer . Amen .

❧ The second forme of prayer .

O Lord make humble my harte to confesse my sinnes wherein I haue miserably offended , and wretchedly declined , from thy most holy wyll and maiestie : so that I am not worthy to present my selfe before thée O God : but it lyketh thée of thy endlesse pitie to receaue sinners whensoeuer the turne vnto thée , it lieth in thy wyll to conuert vs. Turne vs therfore O Lord , and turne thou vnto vs and haue mercy vpon vs : set vs at libertie in thy grace , lose our hartes from worldly affections and purge vs from thillusions of the same , strength en vs against Sathan : comforte and instruct our weake blindnes , with thy holy spirite , that we maye open our mouthes through Christ our Sauiour , to prayse thy name O God with thankesgeuing , to the which be honour and glory perpetuall . Amen .

¶ Learne to knowe and serue the Lorde , O my soule : for it is louely to prayse and extoll the name of our God .

Psalmes .

THou broughtest a vine out of Egipte , thou threwest out the Hethen , O Lorde , and didest plante it in their habitations where takinge roote it prospered , and filled all the Land .

The hilles were couered with the shadow therof , and the bowghes of it weare as the Cedar trées .

She streatched out her branches into the Sea , and her sprayes into the Riuer .

Plenteous was her frute , thy people dranke of her grapes , and weare refreshed .

Thou thy selfe tookest charge therof O Lorde : with thine owne handes dydest thou fence it round about , and semest to take high pleasure there in .

How is it then come to passe , that her hedges are all broken , her frythes are troden downe , her grapes be common to the spoylers ?

Yea the wilde Boore doth roote it vp , and the wilde beastes of the féelde deuowre it .

Turne thée againe , O Lord God of hostes , loke downe and sée thy vyneyarde , which thou thy selfe with thy right hand haddest planted , makinge the branches of it beautifull and stronge for thine owne pleasure , and for the plentifull commoditie of thy seruauntes .

It is cutte downe and brent , the distroyers haue spoyled it , and layde it wast in despite of thée , O Lord . Behold O God where once thou tokest pleasure , and where thy people weare refreshed , it is now mored vp , by the swine of the aduersaries , and is become the harbroughe of Wolfes and Foxes .

Heare O thou Shepeheard of Israell , thou that leadest Iosephe lyke a sheepe , thou that sittest on the Cherubins : sture vp thy strength O Lord , and helpe thy seruauntes : distroys these men of malice .

O Lord how long wilt thou be angrye ? shall thy ieolosie burne like fyre for euer ?

Turne againe , O God , & shew vs the light of thy countenaunce , and we shal be whole .

O remember not our sinnes , but haue mercy vpon vs : and that sone , least we fale into misery .

Helpe vs O Lord , for the glory of thy name : O our Sauiour deliuer vs , be mercifull to our sinnes for thy names sake .

O let the sorowfull sighinges of thy prisoners come before thée : according to the greatnes of thy power and mercy , preserue thou those , O God , that are appoynted to dye .

O Lord howe longe wilt thou be angrye with thy seruauntes : howe longe wilt thou fede thiem with the bread of sorowe , and giue them plenteousnes of teares to drinke ?

Thou hast made them a verie strife vnto there neighbours : and there enimies laughe them to scorne .

Tunre thée againe O Lord God of hostes , shewe vs the light of thy countenaunce and and we shal be whole .

Poure out thine indignation vpon the Heathen , and vpon them that feare not thy name , for they haue deuoured thy seruaunts , and layd wast thy dwelling place .

And for the blasphemie wherewith they haue refiled thy maiestie , reward thou them O Lord seuenfolde in there bosomes .

O my God distroye thine enimies , make them like vnto a whéele , lyke dust before the wynde , and lyke drye strawe in the flame .

Let thy wrath be kindled against them , O Lorde , lyke the fyre that bourneth vp the woodde , and as the flame that cousumeth the mountaynes .

Persicute them with thy tempest , teare them asonder with thy thunder boltes , distroye them with thy stormes , make thē to mealt in desperation , for feare of thy maiestie , O God most highe .

Let them be confounded and vexed euer , more and more , let them , be ashamed , and knowne , that thou whose name is Iehoua , are th' onely most high God of power and maiestie ouer all .

Then we that be thy people and the shepe of thy pasture , shall reioyce and be gladde , praysing thy name , O Lord , withmelodie and thankesgiuing , from generation to generaton world without end . Amen .

BLessed are the people that reioyce in thée O Lord , they shall walke in the light of thy countenaunce and be ioyefull .

There delight shal be dayly in thy word , and in thy righteousnes shall they make their hoast .

For thou art the glory of there strength , and in thy louing kindnes , shalt thou O Lorde make sure their habitation and honour .

Thou art there Lord and defender , there Kyng and onely Souiour .

Whosoeuer dwelleth vnder thy defence O most highe shall abyde vnder the shadowe of th'almightie .

For thou wilt send from Heauen , to saue vs from the reprofe of them that would eate vs vppe .

We will saye vnto thée O Lord , thou art our strong holde , and our hope , our God in whom we trust and reioyce .

Thou shalt be mercifull vnto vs , O God : for our defence is vnder the shadowe of thy winges : yea Lord thou shalt deliuer vs from the snare of the hunter and cruell man , from the plague , and from the noisome pestilence .

Thou wilt send forth thy mercy O God , our hope and comfort is in thy truth , we dwell among the Wolues and Foxes , our soules are among the Lions .

Thou Lord wilt make vs glad throughe thy workes : and the remembraunce of thy benifittes shall make vs ioyefull in geuinge thankes .

When the vngodly are gréene as grasse , florishinge in their wickednes , as the Baye trée , then shall they perishe in there thoughts , and in there workes shall they be distroyed for euermore .

The righteous shall florishe like a Palme trée , and shall spread like a Cedar in Libanus .

Such as be planted in thy house , O Lord , shall continually prosper in the courtes of thy habitation : they shal be beautified with all maner of blessinges : and standing in the glory of thy presence shall extoll and prayse thy greatnes for euermore . Amen .

CHAP. VIII . to the Romaines .

NOw then their is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus , which walke not after the flesh , but after the Spirite . For the Lawe of the Spirite of lyfe which is in Christ Iesus , hath freied me from the Lawe of sinne and of death : For ( that that was imposible to the Law , in as much as it was weake because of the flesh ) God sendinge his owne Sonne , in the similitude of sinfull flesh , and for sinne , condemned sinne in the flesh , That the righteousnes of the Lawe might be fulfilled in vs , which walke not after the flesh , but after the Spirite . For they that are after the flesh , sauour the thinges of the flesh : but they that are after the Spirite , the thinges of the Spirite . For the wisedome of the flesh is death : but the wisedome of the spirite is lyfe and peace , Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God : for it is not subiect to the Law of God , neither indede can be . So then they that are in the flesh , cannot please God . Now ye are not in the flesh , but in the Spirite , because the Spirite of God dwelleth in you : but if any man hath not the Spirite of Christ , the same is not his . And if Christ be in you , the bodie is dead , because of sinne : but the spirite is lyfe for righteousnes sake . But if the spirite of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead , dwell in you , he that raised vp Christ from the dead , shal also quicken your mortal bodies , because that his Spirite dwelleth in you . Therfore bretherne , we are detters not to the flesh , to liue after the flesh : For if ye liue after the flesh , ye shall dye : but if ye moreffye the dedes of the bodie by the Spirite , ye shall liue . For as many as are led by the spirite of God , they are the sonnes of God . For ye haue not receiued the spirite of bondage to feare againe : but ye haue receiued the spirite of adoption , whereby we crye Abba Father . The same spirite beareth witnesse with our spirite , that we are the children of God . If we be children , we are also heires , euen the heires of God , and heires annexed with Christ , if so be that we suffer with him , that we maye also be glorified with him . For I count the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glorie , which shal be shewed vnto vs. For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of god shal be reueled . Because the creature is subiect to vanitie , not of it owne will , but by reason of him , which hath subdued it vnder hope , Because the creature also shal be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God . For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also , and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present . And not onely the creature , but we also which haue the first frutes of the Spirite , euen we do sigh in our selues , waiting for the adoption , euen the redemption of our bodie . For we are saued by hope : but hope that is sene , is not hope : for howe can a man hope for that which he seeth : But if we hope for that we see not , we do with patience abide for it . Likewise the spirite also helpeth our infirmities : for we know not what to praye as we ought : but the spirite it selfe maketh request for vs with sighes , which can not be expressed . But he that searcheth the hartes , knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirite : for he maketh request for the Sainctes , according to the will of God . Also we know that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God , euen to them that are called of his purpose . For those which he knew before , he also predestinate to be made like to the Image of his Sonne , that he might be the first borne amonge manye bretherne . Moreouer whom he predestinate , them also he called , and whom he called , them also he iustified , and whome he iustified , them also glorified . What shall we then saye to these thinges ? If God be of our side , who can be against vs ? who spared not his owne Sonne , but gaue him for vs all to death , how shall he not with him giue vs all things also ? Who shal laye any thing to the charge of Gods chosen ? it is God that iustifieth , who shall condemne ? it is Christ , which is dead , yea or rather which is risen againe , who is also at the right hand of God , and maketh request also for vs. Who shall seperate vs from the loue of Christ ? shall tribulation or anguish , or persecucion , or famine , or nakednes , or perrill , or sworde ? As it is written , For thy sake are killed all daye longe : we are counted as shepe from the slaughter , Neuerthelesse , in all these thinges we are more then conquerers through him that loued vs. For I am perswaded that neither death , no , lyfe , nor Angels , nor principalities , nor powers , nor thinges present , nor thinges to come , Nor height , nor depth , nor any other creature shal be able to seperate vs from the loue of God , which is in Christ Iesus our Lorde .

¶ Prayers .

Not onely wyth the knowledge of thy heauenly will and maiestie , but also with faythfull obedience to thy worde , in which beinge taught and guided by the powre and grace of thy holy Spirite : we maye walke in righteousnes before thée all the dayes of our lyfe : through Christ thy déere Sonne our Sauiour : to whome with thée and the holy Ghost be all prayse honour , glory , and thankes , for euermore , Amen .

Therfore let vs be mery in him and geue thankes .

THy handes haue fashoned and made me , O God : according to thy mercifull kyndnes thou hast geuen me vnderstanding of thy worde .

The same is my comforte in trouble : it quickeneth me at the harte : they that loue thy name are glad when they sée me : because I put my trust in thy word .

O let thy mercifull kindnesse be my comforte , according to thy worde . Yea let thy mercifull kyndnesse come vpon me , that I may liue after thy commaundementes , for therein is my delight .

Take not the loue of thy Lawe from me , O Let my harte faythfully trust in thy word , least I perishe in my trouble .

I am thine , O saue me , let me not shrinke from thy worde , kepe my féete from fallinge and my thoughtes from euill wayes , O Lorde .

Shew me the light of thy countenaunce , O God : and stablishe me in thy statutes : that if trouble and heauines take holde of mée : my féete slippe not from thy testimonies .

O deliuer me from the wrongfull dea , linges of men , that in the safetie of peace , I may applie my selfe wholy to thy Lawe , for the great comforte of thy people , O God .

When the multitude of them that hate me for thy cause , do gether themselues together to confound me , thou shalt deliuer me with thy right hand , O Lorde .

The righteousnes of thy worde is euerlastinge : thou art the defendour and Sauiour of thy people : there enimies shal be dispersed : and in there owne inuentions perish for euermore .

Thou shalt avenge thée of them , O God , thy gracious mercye and truth to thy seruauntes is euerlastinge , for thou wilt not fayle them in there troubles .

Blessed are thy whom thou chastenest and teachest in thy Lawe , thou geuest them pacience in time of aduersitie : vntill the

pitte be didgged for the vngodly .

Thou preseruest the soules of the sanctes : O Lorde make vs feruent in loue , towarde thée : and to hate the thinge that is euill : then wilt thou with thy right hand deliuer vs from the handes of the vngodly and deceiptfull men .

Correcte vs Lorde in thy mercy , and giue vs not ouer vnto death : remember vs according to thy fauour , that thou wast wont to beare vnto thy people , visite vs with thy saluation , O God .

Though we be sometimes afrayde , yet is our trust in thée , O God , neither haue we care what flesh is able to worke against vs.

In thy word Lord , will we reioyce : and comforte our selues in thy promise , our trust is in thée alone , O God , we feare not the power of men .

The offeringe of a frée harte wyll we geue thée , O God , praysing thée with comfortable songes of thankesgeuinge .

Open vnto vs the gate of righteousnes , O God , that we may sée the felicitie of thy Sainctes , and reioyce in the gladnes of thy chosen , and geue thankes with thine inheritance .

We will thanke thée , O God , thou hast heard vs , and art become our saluation : thou onely art to be praysed , O Lorde , thou art gratious , and thy mercy endureth for euer .

PRayse the Lord , O my soule : and all the secrettes of my harte prayse ye his holy name .

Prayse the Lord , O my soule , and forget not his benifittes .

He forgeueth thée thy sinnes , and healeth all thine infirmities .

He saueth thy lyfe from distruction , and crowneth thée with mercy and louing kindnes .

He satisfieth thée with the plentie of his blessinges , and cherisheth thée in th' aboundance of his fatherly bountie and goodnes .

He executeth righteousnes and iudgement , he deliuereth thoppressed , and saueth the poore from the tirrany of the mightie .

He sheweth his wayes vnto his seruants , and guideth his people in the wayes of his commaundementes .

He is full of mercy and compassion , long sufferinge and of infinite goodnes and truth .

He will not alwaye be chidinge , neither kepeth he his anger for euer .

He dealeth not with vs after our sinnes , neither doth he reward vs accordinge to our iniquities .

For loke how high the heauen is in comparison of the earth : so great is his mercye toward them that feare him .

Loke how wide also the east is from the weast , so farre hath he set our sinnes , asonder .

Yea like as a Father pitieth his déere childe : euen so is he a mercifull Lord to them that feare him .

For he knoweth wherof we be made , he remembreth , that we are but dust .

The dayes of man are but as grasse and florisheth as the flower of the féelde : for so sone as the wind goeth ouer it , it is gone , and the place therof knoweth it no more .

But the mercifull goodnes of the Lorde endureth for euer and euer vpon theym , that feare him , and his righteousnes vpon their childers children .

Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt , and thinke vpon his commaundements to do theym .

The Lordes seate is in heauen , and his kyngdome ruleth ouer all .

O prayse the Lorde ye Angelles of his , ye that excell in strength : ye that fulfill his commaundements , harken vnto the voyce of his wordes .

O prayse the Lorde all ye hostes , ye seruauntes that do his pleasure :

O speake good of the Lorde all ye workes of his : in all places of his dominion : prayse the Lorde O my soule .

CHAP. II . to the Ephesians .

ANd you hath he quickened , that weare dead in tresspasses and sinnes , wherein , in time past ye walked , according to the course of this world , and after the prince that ruleth in the aire , euen the spirite , that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience , Among whom we also had our conuersation in tyme past , in the lustes of our flesh , in fulfilling the wil of the flesh , and of the minde , and were by nature the children of wrath , as well as others . But God which is riche in mercy , through his great loue wherwith he loued vs. Euen when we were dead by sinnes , hath quickened vs together in Christ , by whose grace ye are saued , And hath raysed vs vp together , and made vs sitte together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus , That he might shewe in the ages to come the excedinge riches of his grace , through his kindnes towarde vs in Christ Iesus . For by grace are ye saued through fayth , and that not of your selues : it is the gifte of God , Not of workes , least any man should boast himselfe . For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes , which God hath ordeined , that we shoulde walke in them . Wherfore remember that ye beinge in time past Gentiles in the flesh , and called vncircumcision of them , which are called circumcision in the flesh , made with handes , That ye were , I saye , at that time without Christ , and were aliantes from the common wealth of Israell , and were straungers from the couenantes of promesse , and had no hope , and weare without God in the world . But nowe in Christ Iesus , ye which once were farre of , are made nere by the bloud of Christ . For he is our peace , which hath made of both one , and hath broken the stoppe of the particion wall . In abrogatinge through his flesh the hatred , that is , the Lawe of commaundements which standeth in ordinances , for to make of twayne one newe man in himselfe , so making peace . And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one bodie by his crosse , and slaye hatred therby , And came , and preached peace to you which were a farre of , and to them that were nere . For through him we both haue an entraunce vnto the Father by one spirite . Nowe therfore ye are no more staungers and foreners : but citizens with the Sainctes , and of the householde of God , And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets , Ieuss Christ himselfe beinge the chiefe corner stone , In whom all the building coupled together , groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord . In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the spirite .

¶ Prayers .

O Mercifull Lord and louing Father , that of the incomprehensible riches of thy mercie , towarde the disobedient and losse children of Adam , ( who seruing Sathan after the blinde and vnbrideled lustes of the vile flesh were caried away through sinne and ignoraunce to dampnation . ) Hast reconciled vs to thy fauour through grace and adoption in Christ Iesus the righteous , by fayth and holy conuersation in whom : we are deliuered from eternall death and destruction : Haue mercy vpon vs , yea Lord haue mercy vpon vs : and for loue of thy swete sonne our Redéemer , defend vs against the power of the distroyer , & with thy mightie hand lyft vs vp out of the fylthie puddle , and deathfull corruption of this abhominable world , purifying our harts with thy grace , that , we , beinge wholy inclined to heauenly desires : may growe perfecte in all holines , and aboundinge in the good workes , which thou hast prepared for thy Sainctes to walke in , for the glorifiinge of thy name : we may growe an acceptable Temple , for thy continuall dwelling in vs. O Lorde : to th'inspeakeable peace and comforte , and to the euerlasting blisse and saluation of our soules : Through Christ our Sauiour . Amen .

LOrde let not the darkenes of ignoraunce , comprehend vs.

Leade vs by the continuall light of thy grace to worke righteousnes .

Let vs not slepe in sinne , O God . Quicken our weake soules against earthly sluggishnes .

Geue vs the heauenly reast of thy inspeakable peace , O Lord .

And nurrishe vs with thy grace to saluation .

Pitiefully here our complaintes O déere Father .

And graunt our requestes for thy swéete Sonnes sake our Sauiour .

O Mercifull Lorde and louing Father , remember th'infirmities of thy frayle seruauntes , assistinge our weake soules with thy grace , that in all things we may , loue , honour , and obeye thy heauenly wyll and maiestie , waking and walkinge in the pathes of righteousnes , to the scope of perfecte holines , contemning this witchinge world withall her foolishe illusions , for the true glorifyinge of thy name , through Christ Iesus our Sauiour . Amen .

LOrde comforte , the nedye , the sicke , the prisoned , the tormented , the distressed and helpelesse with the presence of thy grace , and haue mercy vpon theym .

Make vs all ioyefull in thée , O God , with thankesgeuing through Christ Iesus . Amen .

¶ Lorde into thy handes I committe my bodye and soule , receaue me to thy tuition , O God .

❧ The fourth forme of prayer .

AWake out of thy swinish slomber , O sily soule : shake off the deathfull slouth of this earthye trunke : and watche for the Lorde which is at hand : prepared to iudgement : Cease not to praye , for the forgeuenes of thy sinnes , labour feruently in thy dutie , then shalt thou be clothed with mercy and righteousnes , to enter in , as a beautifull geast , with that ioyefull Bridegrome to the feast of eternall mirth and dilicacye : there to dwell in ioyes for euer more .

O Mercifull Lorde and louinge Father , without whose ayde and mosion , I am not able to sturre one member toward heauenly seruice , the bourden of this slowe , and sinfull fleshe doth so ouer charge my weake soule : according to thy Fatherly pitie loke vpon me , O God , and quicken my dull spirite with thy grace , to rise out of this myrie puddle , and to come before thy presence , in humble repentaunce , crauinge thy mercy for my miserable sinnes and wickednes : and beinge released in the bloud and righteousnes of Iesns Christ , I maye ioyefully serue honour , and prayse thy eternall maiestie : through the déere Sonne my mercifull Lord and Redemer : to whom with thée and the holy Ghost be all glory and thankes for euer . Amen .

Prayse the Lorde O my soule .

I Wyll alwayes geue thankes vnto the Lorde , his prayse shall euer be in my mouth : My soule shall make her boast of him , the humble shall here therof and be glad .

O prayse the Lorde with me , and let vs magnifie his name together .

I sought the Lord and he heard me , yea he deliuered me out of all my feare .

They that haue an eye to him are lightened , and there faces shall not be ashamed

The poore crye vnto the Lord , and he heareth theym : yea and saueth them out of all there troubles .

The Angel of the Lorde , tarieth rounde about theym that feare him , and deliuereth theym .

O taste how gratious the Lorde is : blessed is the man that putteth his trust in him .

O feare the Lorde , ye that be his Saincts : for they that feare him lacke nothinge .

The Liones do lacke and suffer hunger : but they that seke the Lorde , shall want no maner of thinge that is good .

Thou man that desirest to liue and sée good dayes : kepe thy tongue from euill and thy lippes that they speake no guile , eschue euill and doe good , seke peace and folowe it .

The eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous , and his eares are open to there prayers .

His countenance is against them that do euill : to roote out the remembraunce of them from the earth .

The righteous crye , and the Lorde heareth them , and deliuereth them out of all their troubles .

The Lord is nighe to them that are of contrite harte : and will saue such as be of humble spirite .

Great are the troubles of the righteous , but the Lord deliuereth them out of all .

Misfortune shall slaye the vngodly : and they that hate the righteous shal be destitute ,

The Lorde deliuer the soules of his seruauntes , and all they that put there trust in thée shal be blessed for euermore .

REioyce in the Lord ye that be righteous : for it becommeth well the Iuste to bée thankefull .

Prayse the Lord with harpe : sing Psalmes vnto him with Lute and Instruments of ten stringes .

Singe vnto the Lord a new songe , sing prayses lustely vnto him with a louely courage .

For the word of the Lord is true and all his workes are faythfull .

He loueth righteousnes and iudgements , the earth is full of the goodnes of the Lord .

By the word of the Lord weare the heauens made , and all the hostes of theym by the breath of his mouth .

He gathereth the water , of the Sea together , as it weare on a heape , and layeth vp the depe as it weare in a treasure house .

Let all the earth stande in feare of the Lorde , stand in awe of him all ye that dwell in the worlde .

For he spake and it was made , he commaunded and it stode fast .

The Lorde bringeth the counsayle of the Heathen to naught , and maketh the deuises of the people to be of none effecte , and casteth out the determinations of princes .

The counsayles of the Lord shall endure for euer , and his determinations are euerlastinge .

Therfore blessed are the people , whose God is the Lorde Iehoua : yea blessed are they that haue chosen him to be their inheritance .

The Lorde loketh downe from heauen , and beholdeth all the children of men , from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all them that dwell vpon the earth .

There is nothinge that can be saued by the multitude of an host : neither is any mighttie man deliuered by much strength .

An horse is a vayne thing to saue a man : for he shall not deliuer him by his great force , neither helpe him with the swiftnes of his foote .

Beholde how fatherly the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him , and howe louingly he embraseth all those that put their trust in his goodnes .

He deliuereth their soules from death , and féedeth them in the tyme of dearth .

Let euery soule patiently wayte for the Lorde our Sauiour , who commeth to deliuer his people , then shall the righteous reioyce and be gladde .

Quicken my soule , O God , let thy mercy embrace me , let thy holy spirite comforte me , So shall I be saued in thy grace , to magnifie and prayse thy name for euer and euer , Amen .

CHAP. IIII . to the Ephesians .

I Therfore , beinge prisoner in the Lord , praye you that ye walke worthie of the vocation whereunto ye are called , with all humblenes of minde , and mekenes , with long suffringe , supportinge one another throughe loue , Endeuoringe to kepe the vnitie of the spirite in the bond of peace . There is one bodye , and one spirite , euen as ye are called in one hope of your vocation . Their is one Lorde , one fayth , one Baptisme . One God and Father of all , which is about all , and through all , and in you all . But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace , accordinge to the measure of the gift of Christ . Wherefore he sayth , when he ascended vp on hye , he lead captiuitie captiue , and gaue giftes vnto men . Nowe , in that he ascended what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest parte of the earth ? He that descended , is euen the same that ascended , farre aboue all heauens , that he might fill all thinges ) He therfore gaue some to be Apostles , and some Prophets , and some Euangelistes , and some Pastours , and Teahcers , For the gatheringe together of the Sainctes that for the worke of the ministery , and for the edification of the bodye of Christ , Till we all mete together ( in the vnitie of faith and knowledge of the Sonne of God ) vnto a perfite man , and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnes of Christ . That we hence forth be no more children waueringe and caried about with euerie winde of doctrine , by the deceyte of men , and with craftines , wherby they laye in waite to deceaue . But let vs followe the truth in loue , and in all thinges growe vp into him which is the head , that is Christ . By whom all the bodye being coupled and knitte together by euery ioynt , for the furniture therof ( accordinge to the effectuall power , which is in the measure of euery parte ) receaueth increase of the bodie , vnto the edifying of it selfe in loue . This I saye therfore and testifie in the Lord that ye henceforth walke not as other Gentiles walke , in vanitie of their minde , Hauing their cogitation darkened , and beinge straungers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them , because of the hardnes of there hearte : Which being past feling , haue giuen them selues vnto wantonnes , to worke all vncleanenes , euen with gredines . But ye haue not so learned Christ . If so be ye haue heard him , and haue ben taught by him , as the truth is in Iesus , That is , that ye cast of , concerninge the conuersation in tinie past , the olde man , which is corrupt through the deceiuable lustes . And be renewed in the spirite of your minde , And put on the newe man , which after God is created in righteousnes , and true holines . Wherfore cast of lyinge , and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour for we are members one of another . Be angry , but sinne not : let not the Sunne go downe vpon your wrath , Neither giue place to the Deuill . Let him that stole , steale no more : but let him rather labour and worke with his handes the thing which is good , that he may haue to giue vnto him that nedeth . Let no corrupt communication procede out of your mouthes , but that which is good to the vse of edifying , that it may minister graco vnto the hearers . And griue not the holy Spirite of God by whom ye are sealed vnto the daye of redemption . Let all bitternes , and anger , and wrath cryinge and euell speaking be put away from you , with all maliciousnes . Be ye courteous one to another , and tender harted , forgiuiuing one another , euen as God for Christs sake forgaue you .

¶ CHAP. IIII . of Ieremie .

O Israell , if thou returne , returne vnto me , saith the Lord : and if thou put awaye thine abhominations out of my sight then shalt thou not remoue . And thou shalt sweare , The Lorde liueth , in truth , in iudgment , and in righteousnes , and the nations shal be blessed in him , and shall glory in him . For thus saith the Lorde to the men of Iudah , and to Ierusalem , Breake vp your fallowe grounde , and sowe not amonge the thornes : bee circumcised to the Lorde , and take awaye the foreskinnes of your hartes , ye men of Iudah , and inhabitantes of Ierusalem , least my wrath come forth like fyre , and burne , that none can quenche it , because of the wickednes of your inuensions . Declare in Iudah , and shew forth in Ierusalem , and say , Blowe the trumpet in the land : crye , and gather together , and say , Assemble your selues , and let vs go into strong cities . Set vp the standert in Zion : prepare to flee , and stay not : for I will bring a plague from the North , and a great distruction . The Lion is come vp from his denne , and the distrdyer of the Gentiles is departed , and gone forth of his place to laye thy land waste , and thy cities shal be destroyed without an inhabitant . Wherfore gird you with sackecloth : lament , and howle , for the fierce wrath of the Lorde is not turned backe from vs. And in that daye , saith the Lorde , the harte of the Kyng shall perish , and the harte of the Princes and the Priestes shal be astonished , and the Prophetes shall wonder . Then sayd I , Ah Lorde God , surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem , sayinge , ye shall haue peace , and the sword perceth vnto the hart . At that time shall it be sayd to this people and to Ierusalem , A drye winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth toward the daughter of my people , but neither to fan nor to clense . A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places , and now will I also giue sentence vpon them . Behold , he shall come vp as the cloudes , and his charetes shal be as a tempest : his horses are lighter then Egles . Woe vnto vs for we are destroyed . O Ierusalem , wash thine hart from wickednes , that thou maiest be saued : how long shall thy wicked thoughts remaine within thee ? For a voyce declareth from Dan , and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim . Make ye mension of the heathen , and publishe in Ierusalem , Beholde , the scoutes come from a farre countrey , and crye out against the citees of Iudah , They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde , because it hath prouoked me to wrath , saith the Lord . Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these thinges , such is thy wickednes : therfore it shal be bitter , therfore it shall perce vnto thine harte . My bely , my bely , I am peined , euen at the very harte : mine harte is troubled within me : I can not be still : for my soule hath harde the sound of the trumpet , and the alarme of the battell . Destruction vpon destruction is cryed , for the whole land is wasted : soddenly are my tentes destroyed , and my curteines in a moment . Howe long shall I se the standart , here the sound of the trumpet ? For my people is foolish , they haue not knowne me : they are foolish children , and haue none vnderstandinge : they are wise to do euill , but to do well they haue no knowledge . I haue loked vpon the earth , and lo , it was without forme and voyde : and to the heauens , & they had no light . I beheld the mountaines and lo , they trembled and all the hilles shoke . I beheld , and lo , there was no man . and all the birdes of the heauen were departed . I beheld , and lo , the fruitefull place was a wildernes , and all the cities therof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord , and by his fierce wrath . For thus hath the Lord sayd , The whole land shal be desolate : yet will I not make a full end . Therfore shall the earth mourns , and the heauens aboue shal be darkened , because I haue pronounced it : I haue thought it , and will not repent , neither will I turne backe from it , The whole citie shal flee , for the noyse of the horsemen and bowe men : they shall go into thickets , and clyme vp vpon the rockes : euery citie shal be forsaken , and not a man dwell therein . And when thou shalt be destroyed , what wilt thou do ? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet , though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde , though thou paintest thy face with coullours , yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine : for thy louers will abhore thee and seke thy life . For I haue heard a noyse of a woman trauailinge , or as one laboringe of her first child , euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes : wo is me nowe for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers .

THe Lorde hath plesured his people , and helpeth the meeke harted .

He healeth the contrite in harte , and byndeth vp their woundes .

He rayseth theym vp that are fallen , he is louinge to euery man : and his mercy is ouer all his workes .

He fulfilleth the desire of them that feare him , he heareth their crye , and helpeth theim .

❧ Suffrages .

A Prayer for grace to repent , and amend our lyfe .

OH Lord God , and heauenle father , which art a iust Iudge to punnish all theym , that doe continewe to offend thée : as thou art a Father most pitiefull to receiue to mercie all those , which geue ouer themselues to thée : shewe me thy grace and fauour so , that I maye be toutched with inward hatered of my sinnes , and that in the place of flatteringe my selfe to slepe in sinne , I may be so cast downe in harte , that the rather I maye truely with mouth confesse most humbly to geue thée , the honour , glory , and prayse due vnto thy holy name : and that , as thou doest instructe vs thereunto by thy holy word , so ( for thy names sake ) make that the same may so lighten and cleare our conscience , that in due examination of all oure whole lyfe , we maye learne to be angrye and displeased with all our former and corrupt liuinge . Oh that it maye please thée to drawe neare vnto vs , in addressinge and guiding our foote steppes , in the true and perfitte waye of obedience to thy holy lawes and commaundements . Send thy holy Angell to pitch his tent round about vs , that Sathan and his infernall armye , neuer preuayle against vs : but alwayes with stronge fayth we maye throughe Iesus Christ withstand all his craftie subtilties , malice , and snares : knowing vndoubtedly that thou neuer forsakest theym that put there trust in thée . Oh let vs not be lead by th'infirmitie of our vntoward flesh , but strengthen vs by the vertue of thy holy spirite . Suffer vs not to lye vnder thy heauie wrath & vengeance through hipocrisie , but rather toutche vs so inwardly , that we maye without ceassinge , sighe and grone vnto thée , by true and vnfayned repentaunce . And although we be not alwayes so well disposed , to aske and praye , as we ought to doe , yet ( good Lorde ) for thy names sake , stretche out thy mightie hande , that by the gracious workinge of thy holy Spirite , our mindes and hartes may be drawne , from al earthly and corrutible thinges , so that our prayers may procede of an earnest and inward affection , neuer presuminge to come before thée with a double harte , knowinge that whosoeuer asketh or prayeth for any thinge of thée , not askinge in fayth , shal not opteyne . Increase our fayth therfore ( Oh mercifull Father ) that we presently maye liuely féele the benifites of remission and pardon of all our sinnes , throughe the merites and death of Christ Iesu our Sauiour : and so worke in vs for euer hereafter to liue in the feare of thée , and to stand in awe of thy displeasure : that thou maiest continew our mercifull Father world without end . Amen .

¶ A prayer for th'aide of God to a holy lyfe .

O Moste mercifull Lorde God almightie , that of thine inserachable power and wisedome , dydest create all thinges of nothinge , in obedience to thy rule and commaundement : amonges the which it pleased thy gracious will , not onely to make me a resonable creature in the celestiall forme of man kinde : but also , ( where , by my naturall propertie state and inclination I was conceiued and borne to ignorance and sinne , and thereby to death and dampnation . ) So to limite the tyme and place of my byrth into this worlde , that in vnitie of Baptisme , comunion , and healthfull doctrine with thy Saincts , I am gouerned and taught , to knowe , to professe , to honour and to serue thine omnipotent maiestie , true and eternall God reigninge in trinitie of persons inseperablie knitte in vnitie of dietie , power , eternitie and glory : and also instructed in the truth of the Gospell of thy swéete Sonne Iesus Christ my Sauiour : throughe fayth in whome I féele that blissefull operation of thy heauenly grace , by the effusion of thy holy spirite , as the frée benifite of thy mercie wherby I am called with the rest of thy chosen children , to th'undoubted hope of eternall lyfe and saluation : so that earst being farre from thée through blindnesse and sinne : I am nowe by grace and adoption in Christ the redéemer , brought nere and reconciled to thy fauour , as a Sonne . Therfore as one yet inuironed , with many sorowes , pereiles , wretchednes and calamities , a middest the swarmes of innumerable ennymies visible and inuisible , that are prepared to spoyle me , euen to eternall destruction : I call for thy helpe , O God : which onely arte , the sure and inuincible fortresse wherin I may be saued . Streatch forth thy mightie hande , O Father , and geue me a ioyefull victory against the power of the malicious enimie that worketh to spill , whatsoeuer thou would est haue saued . From the bothome of the déepe I crye vnto thée O Lorde to succour me : and for loue of thy deere Sonne my Sauiour to deliuer me , from the power of darkenesse and ignoraunce : and by thy holy spirite to guide and lead me in the light and pathes of heauenly grace and knowledge : that findinge this transitory and shorte lyfe to be but a troublesome passage ( besette with many stormes , perels , and deceiptes to perdition ) and cleauing fast vnto thée and despising all earthly pompe , and vanities : I maye passe throughe it to the porte of perpetuall peace and saftie : there to possesse the triumphant , and eternall ioyes which are prepared for thyne electe : sanctified throughe fayth in Christ Iesus our swéete Sauiour , to whom with thée and the holy Ghost be all prayse honour and glory for euer and euer . Amen .

But in all my wayes , thoughtes , pourposes and procedinges , remember me to beholde , and dulye to consider : wherence I came , and whether I must : wherof I consist , and why I am borne to this world : the shortnes and frayltie of my lyfe : the foolishe vanities of this deceiueable world , which with all her gawdes doth passe away , as a shadowe : and so to esteme the same : that my harte and minde beinge altogether inclined to the loue of heauenly thinges : I may by the helpe of thy holy Spirite , dedicate my selfe wholy a quicke and spirituall sacrifice to thy deuine maiestie , mortified in the flesh , through faithfull and holy conuersation in Christ my Sauiour : to whom with thée and the holy ghost be all prayse honour and glory for euermore .

O Most merciful Lord God almightie onely which art gracious and good : as by thy diuine will and power this childe was formed and made a liuinge creature tonsisting of bodye and soule in the wombe of his mother , from whom he is departed into this worlde , by naturall byrth , weake and impotent , of frayle and sinfull substance : by his owne propertie inclinde , to ignorance , and sinne : and nowe enuired with thousands of malicious , mightie and subtil , ennimies both bodely and ghostly , which wayte for the seducinge and leadinge of him to perell , death and destruction , whereunto all man kinde is prone and ( weare it not for thy mercifull grace and tuition ) sone ouercome .

O Most grocious Lorde God almightie , which hast power ouer all : thou geuest , and at thine owne pleasure takest awaye : Thou O God hast made vs , and not we our selues : thou hast limitted our scope , beyonde which we cannot passe : man is a vayne thinge and trauayleth in miserye : and of all his laboures , glory , state and ritches , ( which vanishe as smoke ) he hath no parte in the end : all his pompe forsaketh him : his soule will no longer dwell in him : but forsaketh him and leaueth him to death , to be clothed with dust and ashes , for therence hée came , and thether returneth with spede . But the soule of the faithfull liueth in peace , and reioyceth in th assurance of eternall lyfe and felicitie : for the fruition whereof he shal be againe clothed with his former tabernacle , renued and raysed to glory and immortalitie , to reigne with Christ the redéemer of thine electe , in the perpetuall presence of thy most glorious maiestie , triumphing in peace and blisse euerlastinge .

O Most gracious Lorde God , and Kynge almightie iust and euerlastinge , vpon whose wyll dependeth , the rule , staye and direction of all thinges both in Heauen and in earth : geuinge men power and dominion ouer the people and nations of the worlde : to whom , beinge obedient to thy most holy will and commaundementes : thou geuest wyse , carefull , industrious , vertuous , happie , and prosperous , Kynges , Princes , Rulers , and magestrates : to rule and to gouerne , to the peace , blessinge , comforte , and wealth , of the same : But the vnrighteous people , lasciuius , contempteous , Idolatrous , superstitious , blasphemous , and Rebellious against thy worde and maiestie , shal be deliuered ouer to the handes and tuition of foolishe , Idle , dissolute , negligent and vnfortunate Princes , Rulers and gouernours : by whose brutishe , disorder , losenes and folye , the state , beautie , strength , and bondes of peace , Iustice , loue and gouernement , shal be neglected , broken , disturbed , spoyled , and by intestine hatereds and discordes : or elles , by foren vanquishmentes and discomfitures , distroyed : whereby both land and people , are lefte a praye , to th' inuasion , spoyle and rauine , of the gréedye and victorious distroyer : who in his mercilesse rage executeth the plagues of thy iust wrath , O Lorde , so that neither man woman , childe , beast , foule nor féelde , scapeth the stripes therof . Their countryes , Townes , Cities and dwellings , burnt spoyled , rent torne and made waste : Iustice , Lawe , discipline , nurture , ciuill feloship , honest artes and exercises , Religion , knoweledge and feare of thée , scorned , banished , and persecuted : And the land beinge fylled , with abhomination , beastly tyrrany , slaughter , bloud , robbery , thiuery rapyne , and murther , the people kylled , strangled , starued , spoyled and mocked : bound and caried away to be solde ( as beastes ) in the markette : to seruitude and slauery , there to consume theire dayes in miserable thrall and sorowes : the kyngdome and inheritaunce transported to the possession of the distroyer : who raysed in thy wrath , and armed with the power of thy displeasure : ministreth due punnishment , for the sinne and disobedience , of eche reuoltinge nation that falleth away from thée , and will not be reconciled to grace : witnesse of all the states , Empires , kyngdomes , tongues nations peoples and kyndreds of the earth , from the beginninge of the world to this day . But in these later dayes : specially of the Iewes Egiptians : Armenianes , Grecians , Italiens , Hungariens , Poloniens , and others : whose seruile thrall and calamities , ought neuer to be out of our remembraunce : which should moue vs continually to beholde , the blessinge of thy loue , and the heauie sorowes , of thy displeasure . Wherefore in the haboundaunce of thy mercies and louinge kindnes , and for loue of thy déere Sonne : whome throughe the gifte of thy grace , we professe in the truth of his Gospell , we beseche thée O mercifull Father , fauourably to loke vpon this Realme and people , of Englande : Turne not awaye thy face , O Lord , take not thy grace and holy spirite from vs : let vs still enioye the blisse and coumforte of thy louing countenaunce : kepe vs in the waye , and couer vs vnder the shadowe of thy winges : suffer vs not to be taken from thée : make vs to folowe and to put our whole trust and confidence in thée , then shall we be safe : Thy mightie hand O God , geueth the victory : and in the power of thy fauour shall the ennimie be vanquished , and his strength brought to nothinge . Saf is the Citie where thou Lorde art the watchman : but who so standeth out of thy tuition , he is a redye praye to the distroier : Therfore go not farre from vs , O God . For thine electes sake weare the heauens and the earth , withall their implements , fourmed and made of nothinge : for their preseruation and mayntenaunce , was rule and gouernement deuised and stablished , and for theire sakes , are Empires , kyngdomes , countries , and nations , preserued , saued and blessed : and for iniury and ignominie done to theym and to thy truth and holy name , are they changed , plagued , subuerted and distroyed . Great is thy mercy and compassion O Lorde , longe sufferinge and redye to forgeue : beholde vs , O Father and haue mercy vpon vs : remember not our inquities , nor the iniquities of our forefathers : take not iust vengeance of our sinnes : neither reward thou vs after our deserts : spare vs good Lord , and for thy swete Sonnes sake Christ Iesus our Sauiour haue mercy vpon vs : yea Lord haue mercy vpon vs and vpon our posteritie , holding continually thy holy hand ouer vs , and blesse vs : Increase our faith , and make our children and childers children obedient to thy worde , and through holy conuersation in thy Sonne our Redéemer , make vs and theym acceptable vnto thy selfe , O God : that beinge sanctified in fayth and loue toward thy heauenly wyll and maiestie , we and they may be deliuered from thy wrathfull displeasure , for euermore . Poure forth haboundaunce of thy grace and blessinge vpon our Queene , that in the fulnes of thy gratious fauour , shée maye haue longe lyfe in health and happpye dayes : ayded with faythfull , verteous and prudent Counsailours , and ministers , to do all things to the nurishing and maynteynaunce of true Religion and vertue : Increase the light of thy Gospell and the number of faythfull and godly preachers and ministers of thy word , whose industrye and labour , by the peace and tranquillitie of thy Church , maye largelye augment the number of thy Sainctes : to the glory of thy name , and to the ioye and blessinge of the land and people . For the preseruation and continuaunce wherof , in the bowelles of the fatherly care and fauour remember vs , O louinge God : leaue neither vs nor our posteritie headlesse , neither put vs ouer to the yoke of a straunge , nor Irreligious Prince : But after the blissefull dayes of this thy gracious handmayde our Queene ( whom O Father let it please thée to preserue in happye and ioyefull state to th'end ) geue peace and concord to thy people , with a verteous wise , godly , and fortunate Prince , whose constant , zeale , care , industrye , and indeuoure , toward the cherishinge and aduauncement of thy truth and glory , may purchase thy fatherly loue and furtheraunce , to fill the land and people , with all maner of blessinges , as thy heauenly wisedome knoweth necessary , where beautified with vertue and godlines , it shall prosper and triumphe , in continuall peace and victory , geuinge honour and gladsome thankes to thy glorious maiestie , that with thy déere Sonne our Lord and Sauiour , and with the holy Ghost , reignest in vnitie of power , glory , and dominion : praysed for euer and euer .

In euery souldier that in this worlde , taketh in hand vnder his Capitayne to fight , it is required , that he be stoute , valiaunt , and manly , that when they pinche of the battayls commeth : hée then proue mightie and couragious in fight , in assured hope of triumphant victory . Euen so ( oh good Lorde ) it is required in euery of vs which professe thy holy Gospell , that we shewe our selues manfull in fight for the defence of the same : that when , by thy prouidence the brunte of persecution is kyndled and ministred vnto vs , we may then shew our selues as true and faythfull Christians , to fight that good fight for an eternall triumphe and victory : In geuing and offeringe vp our owne bodies , for a sacrifice vnto the Lorde our God , who is euer readye to strengthen theym that put theire full trust in him . Oh good Lorde graunt for thy names sake vnto vs such plentie of thy grace , that when tyme requireth , as we doe beleue in harte to iustification , euen so by mouth we maye make true confession to saluation , that the frute of the same may be to vs in the latter daye , ioye comforte and eternall consolation , throughe Iesus Christ by whose death and merites , we are made inheritours of his euerlastinge kyngdome .

CHAP. XXI . of Iohn .

AND I sawe a newe heauen , and a newe earth : for the first heauen , and the first earth were passed awaye , and there was no more sea . And I Iohn sawe the holy citie newe Ierusalem come downe from God out of heauen , prepared as a bride trimmed for her housband . And I heard a great voyce out of heauen sayinge , Beholde , the Tabernacle of God is with men , and he will dwell with them : and they shal be his people , and God him selfe shal be their God with them . And God shall wipe away all teares from theyr eyes : and there shal be no more death , neither sorrowe , neither crying , neither shall there be any more paine : for the first thinges are passed . And he that sate vpon the throne , sayd , Beholde , I make all thinges newe : and he sayd vnto me , Write : for these wordes are faythfull and true . And he sayd vnto me , It is done , I am and the beginning and the end . I will giue to him that is a thirst , of the well of the water of lyfe freely . He that ouercommeth , shall inherit all thinges , and I will be his God , and he shal be my sonne . But the fearefull and vnbeleuing , and the abhominable , and murderers , and whoremongers , and sorcerers , and idolaters , and all liars shal haue the parte in the lake , which burneth with fyre and brimstone , which is the second death . And there came vnto me one of the seuen Angels , which had the seuen viales full of the seuen last plagues , and talked with me , sayinge , Come : I will shewe thee the bride , the Lambes wife . And he caried me awaye in the spirite to a great and an hie mountaine , and he shewed me the great citie , holy Ierusalem , descendinge out of heauen from God , Hauing the glory of God : and her shining was like vnto a stone moste precious , as a Iasper stone cleare as cristall . And had a great wall an hie , and had twelue Gates , and at the gates twelue Angels , and the names written , which are the twelue tribes of the children of Israel . On the East part there were thre gates , on the Northside thre gates , on the Southside thre gates , and on the Westside thre gates . And the wall of the citie had twelue foundations , and in them the names of the Lambes twelue Apostles . And he that talked with me , had a golden rede to measure the citie with all , and the gates therof , and the wall therof . And the citie laye foure square , and the length is as large as the bredth of it , and he measured the citie with the rede , twelue thousande furlonges : and the length and the bredth , and the height of it are equall . And he measured the wall therof , an hundreth , fortie and foure cubites , by the measure of man , that is , of the Angell . And the building of the wal of it was of Iasper : and the citie was pure golde , like vnto clere glasse . And the foundacions of the wall of the citie were garnished with all maner of precious stones : the first foundacion was Iasper : the second of Saphire : the third of a Chalcedonie : the fourth of an Emeraude . The fifte of Sardonix : the sixt of a Sardius : the seuenth of a Chrisolite : the eight of a Beryl : the ninth of a Topaze : the tenth of a Chrysoprasus : the eleuenth of a Iacinth : the twelueth an Amethist . And the twelue pearles and enery gate is of one pearle , and the strete of the citie is pure golde , as shining glasse . And I sawe no Temple therin for the Lorde God almightie and the Lambe are the Temple of it . And the citie hath no nede of the Sunne , neither of the Moone to shine in it : for the glory of God dyd light it : and the Lambe is the light of it . And the people which are saued , shall walke in the light of it : and the Kyngs of the earth shall bring their glory and honour vnto it . And the gates of it shall not be shut by daye : for there shal be no night there . And the glory & honour of the Gentiles shal be brought vnto it And there shall enter in it none vncleane thinge neither whatsoeuer worketh abhomination or lies : but they which are written in the Lambes Boke of lyfe .

¶ A prayer .

O Mercifull Lorde and louing father , God almightie , Iust and euerlastinge , that in the inserchable purpose of thy wyll and wisedome , dyddest create Heauen and earth , withall the thinges in theym conteyned to depend , to serue , and to continew in obedience to thy irrepugnable order and direction : tyll the number of thy beloued , which , in thy déere Sonne our Sauiour , thou hast chosen to eternall lyfe : shal be filled : at whose deliuery from corruption : ( whereunto disobedient man brought all thinges subiect through his offence ) the transitory , vanished and burnt creatures , shall generally be renued , and stablished in permanent state of beautie and glory euer enduringe , filled with the gladsome brightnes of the continuall presence of thy maiestie , dwellinge amongst thy Sainctes to theyre inspeakeable ioyes and blisse euerlastinge : Loke vpon vs O Father and haue mercy vpon vs : and as it hath pleased thy gracious , goodnes , O God , by the inspiration of the holy spirite , to frame our hartes to beliue the Gospel of thy Sonne , by whom we receaue swete tast of thy fatherly loue and mercie : So let it be thy wyll O God , to comforte our faynte soules with the continuall presence of thy heauenly grace : that we perfectly féelinge , the beinge and workinge of the same in our hartes : maye vtterly despise this miserable world with all her foolish trifiles and fonde vanities : euer thurstinge after thée with insatiable desire of heanenly things , willing to be disolued from this corrupt and sinnefull tabernacle , to rest with thée in the Tabernacle of peace and ioyes euerlastinge : through Christ our Lorde , Iudge , and redéemer : to whome with thée and the holy Ghost reigninge in equalitie & vnitie of maiestie , glory , and dominion : bée all prayse honour and thankes for euer and euer . Amen .

¶ A Psalme to be sayde in the time of any common plague , sickenes , or other crosse and visitation of God .

O Come , let vs humble our selues and fall downe before the Lorde , wyth reuerence and feare .

For he is the Lord our God : and we are the people of his pasture , and the shepe of his handes .

Come therfore , let vs turne againe vnto our Lorde , for he hath smitten vs , and hée shall heale vs.

Let vs repent and turne from our wickednes , and our sinnes shal be forgeuen vs.

Let vs turne , and the Lorde will turne from his heauie wrath , and will pardon vs , and we shall not perishe .

For we knowledge our faultes , and our sinnes be euer before vs.

We haue sore prouoked thine anger ( O Lorde ) thy wrath is waxed hot , and thy heauie displeasure is sore kyndled against vs.

Thou haste , in thine indignation striken vs with thy greuous sickenes , and by and by we haue fallen as leaues beaten downe with a vehement winde .

In dede we aknowledge that our punishment are lesse then our deseruinges : but yet of thy mercie Lord correcte vs to amendment , and plague vs not to our destruction .

For thy hand is not shortned that thou canst not helpe : neither is thy goodnes abated that thou wilt not heare .

Thou hast promised , O Lorde , that afore we crye thou wilt heare vs : whilest we yet speake thou wilt haue mercy vpon vs.

For none that trust in thée shall be confounded : neither any that call vpon thée shal be despised .

For thou art the onely Lorde , who woundest and doest heale againe , who kyllest and reuiuest , bringest euen into hell , and bringest backe againe .

Our Fathers hoped in thée , they trusted in thée , and thou diddest deliuer them .

They called vpon thée , and weare helped : they put there trust in thée , and weare not confounded .

O Lorde , rebuke not vs in thine indignation , neither chasten vs in thy heauie displeasure .

O remember not the sinnes and offences of our youth : but accordinge to thy mercy thinke thou vpon vs , O Lorde , for the goodnes .

Haue mercy vpon vs , O Lorde , for we are weake : O Lord heale vs , for our bones are vexed .

And now in the vexation of our Spirites and the anguishe of our soules we remember , thée , and we crye vnto thée : heare Lorde , & haue mercye :

For thine owne sake , and for thy holy names sake incline thine eare , and heare O mercifull Lorde .

For we do not poure out our prayers before thy face , trustinge in our owne righteousnes : but in thy great mercyes .

Washe vs throughly from our wickednes : and clense vs from our sinnes .

Turne thy face from our sinnes , and put out all our misdedes .

Make vs cleane hartes , O God : and renew a right spirite within vs.

Helpe vs O God of our saluation , for the glory of thy name : O deliuer vs , and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy names sake .

So we that be thy people , and shepe of thy pasture , shall geue thée thanckes for euer , and will alwayes be shewinge forth thy prayse from generation , to generation .

Glory be to the Father , and to the Sonne , and to the holy Ghost ,

As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer shal be , world without end . Amen .

The comfort and Prayers of the Sicke .

MAN that is borne of a woman hath but a shorte time to liue , and is full of misery , he commeth vp and is cutte downe lyke a flower : fleeth as it weare a shadowe and neuer continueth in one state , In the middest of lyfe we are dyinge , of whom shall we seke succour and comforte but of thee O Lorde God our maker .

THou hast made me of nought O Lorde : and when it shall please thée to nothing shall I returne : of earth I came and to earth I shall without tarying . I brought nothinge with me , neither shall I cary ought awaye , when I departe . Thou art my portion O Lord Christ : by thée came grace and lyfe to the chosen , receiue me to thy mercy : thou wast kylled for our sakes , and art risen as the first frutes of theym that slepe , thou art crowned with power and glory , thou hast diststroyed death , and geuen euerlastinge life to all beleuers . Thou shalt reyse vs vp at the last daye and geue vs possession of the inheritaunce , which thou hast purchased in thy bloud and righteousnes , according to the mercifull will of our heauenly father , whom thou hast pacified and pleased , for our redemption and saluation for the performaunce of the othe , which in his eternall and inserchable , purpose , he promised our forefathers . Wherof in thy mercyfull fauour thou hast called me to be partaker : wherby I am taught and comforted by thy holy spirite , to despise the worlde and this corrupt Tabernacle of sinnefull fleshe , which hath of it selfe deserued nothinge but death and dampnation : and wholy to cleaue vnto thée O my Sauiour . Therefore stand by me O Lorde , and defend me against the assaultes of Sathan . That after triumphant victory throughe the grace and power of thy holy spirite , I maye ioyefully geue ouer this fleshly beinge , and come to thy presence , O Lorde , to rest in blissefull peace , tyll the deliuery of thy Sainctes : with whom I am in assured hope ( by the witnes , of thy spirite ) to haue my portion of the inheritaunce euerlastinge . Amen .

¶ The Sicke sayth .

I Heard a voyce from heauen saying vnto me , write , from henceforth , blessed are the dead which dye in the Lorde .

¶ PSALME .

IN thée , O Lorde , haue I trusted , let mée neuer be confounded : but ridde me and deliuer me in thy righteousnes , encline thine eare to me and saue me .

Be thou my stronge holde whereunto I maye resorte , for succour : thou art Iuste O Lorde , thou hast promised to helpe me : therfore I flée vnto thée , as the onely castle and forte of my defence and sauegarde .

Receaue me to thy tuition , O God , and saue me , deliuer me from the hand , of the enimie , and my soule from the power of the dogges .

Cast me not awaye in my last hower O Lord , neither forsake thou me in my weakenes , goe not farre from me , but hast thée to helpe me , for thou art my hope and saluation , O God .

Let my harte be fylled with gladnes , and my mouth with prayse , that I maye singe of thy glory : and with the reall of thy Sainctes , geue honour to thy maiestie , in the eternall fruition of thy presence , through Christ .

Praysed be thy name O louinge God , that art mercifull vnto sinners , and sauest theym from distruction .

Remember not O Lord mine iniquities , nor the iniquities of my forefathers , take not vengeance of my sinnes . Spare me good Lord : spare me whom thou hast redéemed with thy precious bloud , and be not angrye with mée ( a wretche ) to death .

O Lorde deliuer me from the power of the enimie :

O Lorde saue me thy poore seruaunt , that put my trust in thée .

Send me helpe from thy holy place . And euermore mightely defend me .

Be vnto me a strong Tower O Lorde . And euermore couer me vnder thy winges .

O Lord heare my prayer . And let my crye come vnto thée .

¶ I knowe that my redemer liueth , and that I shall rise out of the earth in the last day , and shal be couered againe with my skinne , and shall see God in my fleshe , yea and my selfe shal beholde him , not with other but with the same eyes .

OH my soule be ioyefull in the Lorde , and despise not his correction , neither faynte thou at his rebukes .

For whom the Lorde loueth , him he correcteth , yea he scourgeth euery Sonne whom he receaueth .

Thy sinnes weare innumerable , neither couldest thou clayme ought of dutie , but death and dampnation .

Thy mercifull Lorde , hath accepted thy teares and repentant groninges : and turnde awaye his face from thyne offences : he fréely hath forgeuen thée thy sinnes .

And because thou hast repented , & trusted his mercie , he hath put theym all out of his remembraunce , neither will hée thinke on theym any more .

He will receaue thée into his house and crowne thée with glory and kyndnes .

Thou shalte stand before his presence in the sanctuary euerlastinge .

With Angelles and Archangelles , with the Patriarches and Prophettes , with the faythfull wytnesses , and with all the reast of thy chosen children of grace , to honour him to serue him : to magnifie and prayse him , with continuall thankes , in blissefull ioye and felicitie for euer and euer .

NOwe O my soule loke vpon Christ Iesus the righteous , thy aduocate and redemer , he is ready to receaue thee ' : therfore be gladde in him , and geue thankes . Reioycinge in the visitation of the Lorde , wherby he so mercifully and louingly warneth thee ' to prepare thee ' to the way , that shall bringe thee ' out of this vale of misery , care , thrall , labour , and sorowes , to the castell of eternall , ioyes and felicitie . Plucke vp thy harte with cherefulnes , despise the worlde with all her paynted vanities and illusions , loke stedfastly vpon thy Sauiour who will not fayle thee ' in thy distresse but stand by thee ' , comforte thee ' and deliuer thee ' . Committe thy selfe vnto him , and geuing prayses vnto his name for that is louely . And he by death shall receaue thee ' to lyfe euer enduringe .

Renue O louinge father , whatsoeuer hath bene or is decayde in me , by the fraude and malice of the Deuill : or by mine owne carnall will and fraylenes : preserue and continewe me in the vnitie of thy Church : Consider my contrition , accept my teares , asswage my payne , geue me an obedient hart to thy good will & pleasure , yelding my selfe vnto the same with humble & cherefull thankesgiuing . And puttinge my whole trust and confidence in thy mercy , impute not vnto me my sinnes , but take me in to thy fauour and blessinge , O Lord : through the merites of thy most derely beloued sonne , Christ Iesus my Sauiour . Amen .

O Most gracious Lord God almightie mercifull and true : which art a most strong Tower , to all theyme that put theire trust in thée : to whom all thinges in heauen , in earth and vnder earth do bowe and obaye , be now and euermore my defence , and make me knowe and féele to the ende , that there is none other name vnder heauen geuen vnto man , in whom and throughe whom , I maye receaue health and saluation but onely the name of Iesus Christ , my Lorde and Sauiour : for whose sake oh Father haue mercie vpon me : haue mercie vpon me Lorde , and stand by me to the ende . Oh Sauiour of the worlde saue me which by thy crosse and precious bloud hast redemed me : helpe me , O God , and saue me , for euer , for thine owne righteousnes sake oh Lorde .
