ALmighty God , who hast in part discovered the designs , and disappointed the attempts of those Popish Conspirators , who under the pretence of Religion , and thy Sacred Name , have conspired our destruction ; labouring by the most unjustifiable methods of Murders , Treasons , and the Assassination of His Majesties Sacred Person , to introduce the tyranny of a foreign power , and the abomination of superstitious worship ; and thereby to enslave the souls and bodies of thy servants , and to extinguish the light of thy Gospel amongst us and our posterity : We yield thee praise and thanksgiving for this thy mercy to us ; imploring thy grace and favour in the farther discovery of these depths of Satan , this mystery of iniquity . Send forth thy light and thy truth , and let them preserve us . Give protection and defence to our Sovereign Lord the King , bind up his soul in the bundle of life , and let no weapon form'd against him prosper ; Clothe all his enemies with shame ; but upon Himself and His Posterity let His Crown ever flourish . To this end , knit together the hearts of all this People , as the heart of one man , in the defence of their King , their Laws , and their Religion . Teach them to see in this their day , the things belonging to their peace , before they are hid from their Eyes ; Remove from among them the Accursed thing , those personal , and those publick guilts , whose cry is gone up to heaven , and calls aloud for thy vengeance ; And being by true repentance reconcil'd to thee our God , let us by Christian Love and Charity be united to one another : That walking in the paths of thy holy Law which thou hast given us , its Blessing may be continued to us ; and we thy people and sheep of thy pasture may give thee thanks for ever , and shew forth thy praise from generation to generation . Hear us , O God , for thy mercies sake , through Iesus Christ our Lord .
