THE PRAYER BEFORE the SERMON O Eternall and most Glorious God who sometimes in thy Iustice dost giue the dead bodies of the Saints to be meat vnto the Fowles of the Heauen and the flesh of thy Saints vnto the beasts of the Earth so that their bloud is shed like water and there is none to burie them Who sometimes sel'st thy People for nought and dost not increase thy wealth by their price and yet neuer leau'st vs without that knowledge That precious in thy sight is the death of thy Saints inable vs in life and death seriously to consider the value the price of a Soule It is precious ô Lord because thine Image is stampt and imprinted vpon it Precious because the bloud of thy Soone was paid for it Precious because thy blessed Spirit the Holy Ghost workes vpon it and tries it by his diuers fires And precious because it is enter'd into thy Reuenue and made a part of thy Treasure Suffer vs not therefore ô Lord so to vnder value our selues nay so to impouerish thee as to giue away those soules thy soules thy deare and precious soules for nothing and all the world is nothing if the Soule must be giuen for it We know ô Lord that our Rent due to thee is our Soule and the day of our death is the day and our Death-bed the place where this Rent is to bee paid And wee know too that hee that hath sold his soule before for vniust gaine or giuen away his soule before in the society and fellowship of sinne or lent away his soule for a time by a lukewarmnesse and temporizing to the dishonor of thy name to the weakning of thy cause● to the discouraging of thy Seruants he comes to that day to that place his Death and Death-bed without any Rent in his hand without any soule to this purpose to surrender it vnto thee Let therefore ô Lord the same hand which is to receiue them then preserue these soules till then Let that mouth that breath'd them into vs at first breath alwaies vpon them whilst they are in vs and su●cke them into it selfe when they depart from vs. Preserue our soules ô Lord because they● belong to thee and preserue our bodies because they belong to those soules Thou alone dost steere our Boat through all our Voyage but hast a more especiall care of it a more watchfull eye vpon it when it comes to a narrow currant or to a dangerous full of waters Thou hast a care of the preseruation of these bodies in all the waies of our life But in the Straights of Death open thine eyes wider and enlarge thy prouidence towards vs so farre that no Feuer in the body may shake the soule no Apoplexie in the body dampe or benumbe the soule nor any paine or agonie of the body presage future torments to the soule But so make thou our bed in all our sicknesse that being vs'd to thy hand wee may be content with any bed of thy making Whether thou bee pleas'd to change our feathers into flockes by withdrawing the conueniences of this life or to change our flockes into dust euen the dust of the Graue by withdrawing vs out of this life And though thou diuide man and wife mother and child friend and friend by the hand of Death yet stay them that stay and send them away that goe with this consolation that though we part at diuers daies and by diuers waies here yet wee shall all meet at one place and at one day a day that no night shall determine the day of the glorious Resurrection Hasten that day ô Lord for their sakes that beg it at thy hands from vnder the Altar in Heauen Hasten it for our sakes that groane vnder the manifold incombrances of these mortall bodies Hasten it for her shake whō wee haue lately laid downe in this thy holy ground And hasten it for thy Son Christ●Iesus sake to whom then and not till then all things shall bee absolutely subdu'd Seale to our soules now an assurance of thy gracious purpose towards vs in that day by accepting this daies seruice at our hands Accept our humble thankes for all thy benefits spirituall and temporall already bestowed vpon vs and accept our humble prayers for the continuance and enlargement of them Continue and enlarge them ô God vpon thine vniuersall Church dispersed c.
