created them to worship thee to love thee and to serve thee by whom and for whom all things were created Keep us Lord from storms and tempests and if they shall arise let thy word come forth and turn the storm into a calm make the Waters still and bring us in good season to the Haven of our desires In the mean time preserve us also from Sea-thieves Enemies and other dangers to which our Voyages are subject And Lord when thou shalt preserve us and bring us home in safety give us grace to be truly and really thankfull to thee and to expresse our Thankfulnesse in a holy life and conversation that we may serve and please thee who preservest us And let not thy often preservations of us make us the lesse sensible of them but rather the more thankfull to thee for them For Lord we confesse such is the corruption of our nature that when we often passe through dangers and escape them we take lesse notice of thy gracious providence and preservation in them whereas we should be the more thankfull to thee the more thou multipliest thy favours upon us But Lord yet very far be it from us upon our returns to return to folly and sin and that we whom thou preservest should offend thee by sinfull courses in stead of serving thee and being thankfull to thee For then mayest thou justly come upon us by thy judgements in an hour which we think not on and let in the Seas and other dangers upon us to swallow us up and devoure us and after give us our portion in a Lake of Fire that burneth for evermore But Lord we pray thee to guide us ever by thy grace and not to leave us to our selves and our own corruptions but through all the passages of this our pilgrimage both upon Sea and Land leade us by thy good Spirit and bring us at last to the true Haven of Blessedness and place of rest which is above in thy presence where is fulnesse of joy and where are pleasures for evermore Hear us O Lord and accept our persons and prayers through thy beloved son Christ Jesus who sitting at thy right hand makes intercession for us to whom with the Almighty Father and the most blessed and holy Spirit be all honour service and praise from this time forth for evermore Amen A Prayer in a Storm O Lord we acknowledge that by thy own Providence and will this storm is now come upon us for thy Word hath taught us that thou commandest and raisest the stormy Winds which lift up the waves of the Sea so that they mount up to the Heaven and go down again to the Depths and the souls of men are melted because of trouble and they are at their wits ends And Lord we confesse that we have sins enough to draw down all thy storms upon us and to overwhelm us with all thy waves But Lord we beseech thee to make our hearts to search themselves as for all sins so for those especially which may draw down this great Tempest upon us and let us cast out these sins as the Marrine●● cast out Jonah and let the wind and Sea cease from their raging And Lord we pray thee that we may so cast them out that we may never take them in again lest greater storms overtake us For we acknowledge that where sin is there must storms be expected Storms and Tempests Fire and Brimstone are the portion of sinners grant us also such grace that we may not only hate our sins and cast them out because they are followed with storms and Iudgements but because they are odious in themselves being contrary to thy Righteous Law and to thee who art the Fountain and Rule of Righteousnesse And Lord let us also take thy Son Christ Jesus into our souls to sanctifie them and Raign in them remembring also that Christ Jesus makes a Calm in the souls where he Raigns for being justified by him we have Peace with God and he also when he was here below being in the Ship made a calm there also and commanded the winds to be still Lord we pray thee grant at this time both these calms unto us for as thy Word told us that when thou commandest a storm ariseth so it also sheweth us that when men cry to thee in their trouble thou bringest them out of their distresse thou makest the storm a calm and the waves of the Sea are still then are men glad because they be quiet and thou bringest them to their desired Haven Lord we beseech thee let it be now to thy servants according to this thy Word and then let that also be done which justly followeth Let us Praise the Lord for his goodnesse and his wonderfull workes to the sons of men Let us Exalt thee in the Congregation of the People and Praise thee in the Assembly of the Elders And if the Heathen Marriners which carryed Jonah being delivered from the storm did fear the Lord exceedingly and offered Sacrifice to the Lord and made Vows Let us much more who have the light of the Gospel in so great a measure beyond them fear thee greatly and offer to thee the Sacrifices of Praise and make Vows of better Obedience And Lord having made such Vows assist us by thy grace that we may perform them and cause us all our lives to carry with us and in us the same thoughts and resolutions of holinesse and good Conversation which we have when we are in a storm and not obey thee worse after deliverances then we resolved to do in dangers And Lord how soever thou shalt please to dispose of us we do here cast our selves down under thy Mighty hand We submit our selves to thee as the clay to the Potter to do with us what is good in thy fight for thou hast promised that all shall turn to good to those whom thou hast chosen And hast further shewed us that neither life nor death can separate us from thy love that is in Christ Jesus Let it be so unto thy servants let thy love alwayes be towards us in Christ Jesus the Son of thy Love Whatsoever Iudgements fall on our bodies let our souls be saved by the Lord Jesus Let us so be knit unto him by a lively Faith that we may be partakers of him and in him of life Eternall And having a sure hope and confidence hereof let us desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ which is best of all and at our dissolution speak with assurance to be heard Lord Iesus Receive our Spirits Hear us O Lord and grant us our Petitions and whatsoever thy wisdom knows to be best for us which is far beyond all that we can ask or think and all for the sake of thy Son and our blessed Saviour through whom alone we and our Prayers have accesse unto thee to whom with thy G●orious self and most Holy Spirit be all Honour and Glory Praise and Thanksgiving Service and Obedience from this time forth and for evermore Amen FINIS
