A Form of Prayer c. Translated from the Dutch. O God who hast commanded us to make our Address to thee in Times of Trouble with this Promise That thou wilt deliver us to the end that we may render our most humble Thanks unto thee We prostrate our selves in an extraordinary manner before the Throne of thy Holy Majesty to implore thy Succour from on high in this present Conjuncture to travel for the Deliverance of thy Church Thou knowest O God how many Evils they have been made to suffer hitherto and the Designs wherein the Earthly Potentates have combined to destroy and root them out if it were possible from off the Face of the Earth We may say with David Why do the Nations Rage and wherefore do the Kings of the Earth and the Princes take Consultations together against the Eternal and against the Anointed Yea great God 't is against thee they are set since they would destroy the Truth of thy Word and set up an Idolatrous Worship which is abominable in thy Eyes Look down O God from the highest Heavens upon the Afflictions of thy People and come down from the high Throne of thy Glory to overthrow and confound their Counsels and Combinations which tend to no less than the Oppression of thy poor Children who groan under the heavy Load of Persecution Assemble the Kings and Princes that serve thee in Purity to defend thy Cause make them Victorious over thy Enemies and do thou Great God of Hosts make their Hands fit for War and surround them with thy Protection In particular we pray thee vouchsafe thy Grace and Favour to thy Servant the Prince of ORANGE who hath been particularly Affected with the Reproach and Injuries done and which they would still do to thy Church Maintain his Cause seeing it is thine own and Grant him thy Favour that he may be Victorious over his Enemies His Enterprise is Dangerous but what can he not do if sustained by thy good Hand Command the Sea and its Boisterous Waves to be still before him bind up Contrary Winds and let none Blow but what may be favourable to him Thou O Great God! who somtimes saidst to Joshua by thy Servant Moses Be Strong and of good Courage do thou Strengthen and Invigorate this great PRINCE this Leader of thy People this Great Joshua whom thou hast raised up to us as another Zerubbabel to build up thy Jerusalem That he may be girded with thy Power and Might that he may be Vnafraid in the greatest of Dangers that he may have the Strength of Sampson the Success of Gideon the Victories of David and that finally after the signal Victories that thou shalt Crown him with he may be a Prince Peaceable as Solomon Approve O Lord the Blessing which we joyn in with him The Eternal O Great PRINCE answer thee in the day of Trouble the name of the God of Jacob be thy safe Refuge and send thee Succour from his Holy Place and sustain thee out of Sion and remember all the Offerings which he giveth thee according to thy Heart and fulfil all thy Counsel O Lord thou knowest that thou broughtest this great PRINCE into the World as it were by a Miracle thou hast Preserved him by the same Miraculous Power Thou hast been his God from his Mother's Womb Thou hast laid thy Protecting Hand on his Knees and preserved him from the Hands of his Enemies Thou hast hitherto wrought great things by his Valour and Courage Thy People look upon him as the Pillar of thy Church and wouldest thou Great God Deprive them of this Support which in this Vnhappy time is all our Consolation Remember O Eternal God the Travels of his Fore-fathers for the Establishment and Maintaining of thy Holy Gospel they have Experienced in a thousand Occasions That thou hast been their God Thou hast preserved them in Wars in Sieges in Battles and in a thousand Dangers We hope Lord of thy great Mercy that thou wilt still Protect with thy great Power this PRINCE who has many Formidable Enemies against his Head. Shorten O Lord Shorten rather our Days than those of so Precious a Person Let thy Holy Angels Encamp round about him make them Fight for him as once thou didst in the days of Sennacherib to Destroy those Idolaters who would Oppose themselves against the Armies And lend O Lord the Guards of thy Grace and Truth that this Prince may accomplish his just Enterprize and that thy Church set up its Banners and sing a Holy Song God is Arisen and his Enemies are Scattered Halelujah Halelujah Salvation and Power belong to our Eternal God. Bear up heavenly Father the Heart of his Illustrious Consort her Royal Highness the PRINCESS of ORANGE in this Tryal Fortifie her against all the Fears which may seize her Royal Heart and say to her Soul that thou wilt give Deliverance to her Spouse and that no Evil shall come near his Tent. Hear Holy Father the Fervent Prayers which she sendeth up before thy Presence That thy good Spirit may be with her to Comfort her in this Tryal that none may come near her Sacred Person but the Bringers of good Tydings Thou wilt do it O Lord seeing thou hast filled her Heart with the fear of thy great Name She hopeth in thee grant that she may never be put to Confusion Preserve her in Life in Health to thee that being raised up to the high Dignity which we so ardently wish she may be a Nursing-Mother of the Church the Esther of the Age a Blessed Mary and bring forth another Saviour to the World who may Defend the Church and cause thy Gospel to be carried to the utmost Ends of the Earth Alass O Lord we might expect all this Grace with Assurance were we not great Sinners But as we find our selves extreamly Culpable we are in continual fears strengthen us O Eternal God by thy Holy Mercy blot out our Great Sins for the sake of our Saviour in whose Name we call upon thee and in whose words we further pray Our Father c.
