An order of prayer and thankesgiuing for the preseruation of her Maiestie and the Realme from the traiterous and bloodie practises of the Pope and his adherents to be vsed at times appointed in the Preface Ecclesiastes 10. ¶ Wish the King no euill in thy thought and speake no hurt of the riche in thy priuie chamber for the birdes of the ayre shall cary thy voyce and with their feathers shall they bewray thy wordes Eodem ¶ He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein himselfe and who so breaketh downe the hedge a serpent shall bite him Prouerbes 21. ¶ There is no wisedome there is no vnderstanding there is no counsell against the Lord. The horse is prepared for the day of battell but the Lord giueth victorie Published by authoritie ¶ Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker Printer to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie 1586. HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT ❧ The Preface COnsidering the great peace and quietnesse wherewith God hath continually blessed this Noble Realme of England since the time that it pleased him by the hand of her Maiestie to haue the sincere trueth of the Gospel of our Sauiour planted among vs and his great blessings of all sortes wherewith he hath enriched vs and giuen vs our heartes desires to our comfort and the admiration of our neighbours rounde about vs It were too great impietie not to shewe our selues dayly thankefull for these great mercies and not to craue the continuance of Gods holy hand ouer vs. But weighing further with what perill of violent death by meanes of wicked popish practises our gracious soueraigne hath mainteined the trueth which we professe vpon whose life next vnder God the profession of the same in this land and the continuance of the liues and welfare of vs her faithfull Subiects doe depend and knowing that the Almightie most miraculously hath preserued her highnesse from al treason hitherto intended against her most Royall person and kept our blood from flowing in euery streete like water our Cities Houses from sacking and the whole Land from extreme ruine with what zeale ought euery one of vs to be inflamed to prayse the Lord for the detecting and confusion of our secrete foes whō his right hand hath bruised and howe ought we to detest that doctrine which bringeth foorth so traiterous and bloodie fruites Moses and Miriam and the whole hoste of Israel had neuer greater cause to sing vnto the Lorde for the ouerthrowe of Pharao and his armie nor Debora and Barac for the victorie of Sisera nor Iudith and the Citizens of Bethulia for the end of Holofernes and the flight of his hoste then we haue for the wonderfull preseruation of the life of our most gracious Queene and thereby for our owne safetie Wherefore let euery one that feareth the Lord among vs not onely with the Iewes in the booke of Esther yeerely holde a memoriall with great ioy of so notable deliuerance but dayly in common assemblies haue this great goodnesse in remembrance and pray that God will not suffer the light of Israel to be quenched but that it will still please him to preserue his annoynted from the perill of the sworde and to giue her long and happie dayes to the glorie of his Name to the comfort of his chosen to the stablishing of his trueth in this Lande till the comming of his Sonne in the cloudes of Heauen That this may the better be accomplished this litle booke is by authoritie published dayly to be vsed in Common prayer where any is or otherwise at such times as are by lawe appointed for Diuine Seruice viz the Prayer and one or two of the Psalmes following according to the discretion of the Minister and likewise to be adioyned vnto those prayers that are alreadie of late set foorth for turning from vs the scarsitie of victuall and warre at such times as they are appointed to be read in the Church ❧ The prayer O Eternall God and mercifull Father we thy virworthie creatures most humbly doe confesse that we are not able with our tongues to vtter nor in our heartes to conceiue the exceeding measure of thine infinite goodnesse in this latter age shewed to this Noble Realme in that thou O Lord hast in most dangerous times by thy prouidence beyond expectation of man preserued the Noble person of our now Soueraigne Lady Elizabeth by thy grace First according to her right to come to this kingdome and Royall seate of her Noble Father and next by her being therein established to deliuer vs thy people that were as captiues to Babylon out of thraldome of the enemies of thy true Church and to restore vs agayne to the free fruition of the Gospel of thy Sonne our Sauiour Christ For the enioying whereof now many yeeres we doe confesse and acknowledge that when wee by our daily vnthankefulnesse and by our sinful liues haue most iustly prouoked thee to withdrawe these thy fauours from vs thou O Lorde with thy mightie power diddest strengthen thy seruant our most gracious Queene constantly against the threatnings of the greatest of the world to persist in maintenance of vs in all maner of prosperitie peace and wealth But most singularly in a peaceable freedome to enioy the blessed benefites of thy holy worde against the mightie enemies of thy Church daily conspiring against this Realme and especially against the Royall person of our gracious Queene thy humble seruant and true handmayden whose estate being in the opinion of a nomber of wicked persons many times in great and secret dangers yet thou O Lorde of thy heauenly goodnesse hast alwayes preserued and defended her by many miraculous meanes and as we haue good cause to thinke by many other meanes and at many other times then to vs are yet knowen But yet besides thy preseruation of her person from the attempt of two wicked persons that suffered for the same of late yeeres euen nowe in this present time whē we had no thought that any woulde haue minded such a wicked fact we haue fully felt the power of thy miraculous goodnesse by the discouerie of sundry wicked Conspirators very secretly bent and combyned to make desperate attempts against her life and against the peaceable estate of thy Church and this Realme The stay whereof onely hath proceeded good Lord by thy most continual tender and fatherly care ouer her in the strange discouering and the maner of apprehending of the malefactors being many and not by the wit or strength of any worldly creature For otherwise then by thy speciall goodnesse we do nowe perceiue and that with trembling of our hearts that shee could not at sundry times haue escaped the danger of violent death wickedly and resolutely against her intended so that wee may truely say with Dauid in his Psalme That all men that see it shal say This hath God done for they shall perceiue that it is his worke Wherefore we now thy humble creatures acknowledging
