in mans power to order his owne waies nor to rule his owne steps or goings therefore chasten thou vs O Lord but with fauor not in thy wrath Bring vs not vtterlie to naught for we haue none other sauiour neither can we helpe our selues for by our saluation thy name shall be praised Therefore Lord helpe vs séeing that of thy mercie thou hast made vs a most deare posession vnto thée and we through our sinnes are worthilie punished Declare againe thy loue and finish the worke that thou hast begunne in vs so shall we liue and praise thy holie name for euer euer through Iesus Christ our Lord and redéemer Amen 23. A praier wherein the hart poureth out it selfe before God with humble submission and christian lowlines in diuers considerations THe most pleasant thing that I can offer vnto thy maiestie O Lord is to giue thée a thankfull heart for all thy benefits and to be inwardlie sorie that euer I did anie thing which should offend thée then to mortifie the concupiscence of the flesh to put off the old Adam and put on Christ to leaue to be carnall and to become spirituall Wherefore I will call on thy holie name for thy gratious aid and assistance to helpe me and strengthen me in these my good purposes not doubting but thou wilt most gratiouslie heare me My heart and my whole bodie I offer willinglie vnto thy seruice which although it be of small value in déed yet I doo not mistrust but it shall be accepted in thy sight as was the offring of two mites which the poore woman threw into the treasurie at Ierusalem which small summe of hir pouertie thou diddest more estéeme and praise than all the great gifts of the rich men I humblie beséech thy highnesse to accept this gift of my poore soule bodie which is a declaration of my louing mind towards thée and vouchsafe Lord so to worke in them by thy grace that they may will and worke that which may be acceptable in thy sight so that I may truelie performe my vowes made vnto thée by kéeping thy lawes and commandements with my whole hart which I and euerie true christian professe to kéepe For whosoeuer he be that breaketh but one of them is guiltie of all It is not in mans power to turne to thée O God but thy worke onelie to conuert vs for we consider thy Maiestie and the weaknesse of our sinfull flesh Thy mercie worketh in vs sorrowe and repentance for our former life All things are gouerned by thy prouidence O God if thou blesse vs all creatures shall fauour vs. Let thy holie spirit counsell me how to come foorth of this carefull and troublesome life that I may hide my selfe vnder the shadowe of thy wings where I know I shall be defended by thy power which shall be a signe of thy fatherlie care towards me Wherefore I will resigne my selfe wholie vnto thée trusting in thy protection Thou O God art onelie the true felicitie to heale me thou art able and to raise me to life though I were dead long ago and turned to dust For I acknowledge thée to be almightie and that there is nothing done on earth without thy will and ordinance wherefore I will not trust to anie worldlie helpe In the daies of my trouble thou kéepest couenant and mercie with thy seruants that walke before thée with all their heart and though thou correctest from time to time yet thy helpe will not be farre off if we returne to thée Thy mercie is great to poore sinners for thou art more readie to pardon them with long suffering rather than to punish them Thou shewest fauor towards the fatherlesse which walke after thy commandements as thou art God and creator of the soule and body so wouldest thou haue vs serue thée with both and that thy people be continuallie subiect vnto thée For the greater gifts that we receiue at thy mercifull hands O Lord God and the higher that thou dooest preferre vs the more are we bound to praise thée for the same And though we be high or lowe in degrée yet can we not be exempted from dooing our duties Thou O God art the giuer of all good things wherfore I am readie to bestowe all that I haue at thy commandement Giue me grace O Lord God that I neuer prouoke thée to anger by my sinnes that thou maist mitigate thy punishments towards me strengthen me with thy holie spirit that I may leade an vpright life with true faith and repentance vnto the glorie of thy holie name through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen 24. A praier wherein the afflicted person praieth against his enimies that God would turne vpon them his iudgements O Lord God of our fathers helpe me poore desolate creature I beséech thée for thou hast don al things from the beginning and looke what thine euerlasting counsell hath deuised it came euer to passe for all thy waies are prepared and thy iudgements are doone in thine euerlasting foreknowledge O looke thou now vpon mine enimies and bring to passe O Lord that the pride of them may be cut downe for thy power standeth not in the iudgement of men For there was neuer proud person that pleased thée but in the praier of the humble and méeke hath thy pleasure béene euermore O thou God of the heauens thou maker and Lord of all creatures heare and helpe me calling vpon thée and putting my trust in thy mercie for I haue none other helper but thée O Lord God Thinke vpon me and shew thy selfe vnto me in the time of my distresses and troubles strengthen me with patience in all aduersities Thou Lord of all power knowest all things O thou mightie God aboue all heare the voice of them that haue none other hope but onlie thée deliuer me out of the hands of mine enimies and make me not a scorne vnto the foolish Heare thou my God for I am despised turne their shame vpon their owne heads for they are puft vp with pride as the stomach that is choaked with fat O Lord of hosts thou righteous searcher which knowest the reines and the verie heart let me sée them punished if it be thy will for vnto thée doo I commit my cause For though they wickedlie prouoked me to doo euill for euill yet thy word kept me backe for I behaued my selfe vprightlie towards mine enimies Therefore I humblie beséech thée let them knowe that thou art the defender of my iust cause Let my persecutors be confounded but not me thou shalt bring vpon them the time of their plague and shalt destroie them right soone Wherefore O Lord my sauiour let the same shame and confusion light vpon them which they intended to haue brought vpon me and bicause thou hast all things in thy hands and power thou wilt spéedilie reward them after their deseruings for the deapth of thy prouidence gouerneth all things and disposeth them as it pleaseth thée Good Lord make me not a mocking
