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