Cr● 15.2 O Asa and all Iudah and Beniamin heare ye me The Lord is with you while you be with him if you séeke him hée will be found of you but if you forsake him he will forsake you The same people of Israel for whom thou wroughtest so many great works in Egypt and after leaddest through the red sea destroying their enimies which assaied to follow thē were afterward fearfully destroied in the wildernes for their sins Exo. 12.37 Nu. 14.30 So as of six hundred thousand that were numbred onely two persons Caleb Iosua entered into the promised Canaan Thy seruant Iude putteth vs in remembrāce of this in these words For asmuch saith hee as ye once knew this Vers 5. how that the Lord after that he had deliuered the people out of Egypt destroied them that beleeued not And the same nation of the Iewes though oftentimes thou diddest marueilously fight for them and deliuer them so as among the heathen it might be iustly said God hath done great things for them they on the other side had iust cause to answer them as with an eccho He hath done great things for vs whereof we reioice as it is in the Psalme Euen these notwithstanding whē they neglected their dutie Psal 126 2.3 were most sharply punished and giuen ouer as a pray vnto their enimies as may appeare in the history of their Iudges and Kings And at length when nothing woulde reclaime them but that they continued in their disobedience mocking and il intreating the faithfull prophetes which called them to repentance then thou broughtest vpon them the Chaldeans who wasted their land tooke their chiefe city euen Hierusalem and their king put out his eies slue his children nobles before his face Ier. 39.6.7 and dishonorablie ledde him captiue vnto Babylon leauing that fruitful and populous countrie as it were a desolate forsaken wildernes and bringing scorne reproch confusion shame vpon that citie nation which sometimes were as a Quéen aboue al others admired for their prosperitie as if they had bene the onelie praise of the world 1. Cor. 10.6.7.8 Their example dost thou set before our eies as a glasse to looke into whereby we may sée what remaineth for such people as be like them in thy blessings and not vnlike them in their sinnes We therefore of this nation whom thou hast thus marueilouslie preserued and defended in peace prosperitie plentie and with the vse of thy holie religion vnder the reigne of our souereigne prince now these whole thirtie yeares and for whom of late thou hast done these great thinges what else may we looke for but the like destruction with the Iewes except with all spéed wée doe turne to thée and reforme our selues according to thy woorde Therefore O Lord our God we do most humbly craue of thée pardon for all our sinnes past committed by vs by our whole land either before this our deliuerance or since wee were deliuered beséeching thée in the blood and obedience of Christ Iesus and for the honor of thy name not to bring vpon vs the destruction which for our vnthankefulnes for this thy great mercie and for other our transgressions wee haue most iustlie deserued And graunt that for all the time to come all sortes and states ciuill and ecclesiasticall from the highest to the lowest may be carefull in all thinges to séeke thy will and to haue the same obeied as wel in matters for the Church as the common-weale and each of them for the direction of their seueral families and particular conuersations That they may all ioyne together in their callinges as one man for the reformation of the ministerie that so the preaching of the Gospell may bée established and setled in all the quarters of the lande whereby all the subiects may be subdued vnto thée and taught holie obedience to her Maieiestie and the rest that vnder her gouern the state That godlinesse and godlie men may more and more bee cherished and maintained and idolatrie papistrie blasphemie prophanation of the holie Saboths and all other wickednesse and wicked men may bee punished and suppressed O teach vs to knowe
