and full forgiuenesse of all my sinnes by the assured testimonie of thy blessed spirit bearing record vnto my spirit that I am thy Child by vnfeigned pardoning forgiuing of others which any maner of way haue offended against mee Make the death resurrectiō of thy Sonne so effectuall in mee that I may not onely feele and finde in the same the forgiuenesse of my sinnes and the hope of eternall saluation but that I may be instructed thereby all the dayes of my life more and more to die vnto sinne and daily more and more to liue vnto righteousnes of life holie conuersation And for as much as through thy goodnesse I haue purposed this day to communicate in the vse of thy Word and Sacramentes I beseech thee good Father to prepare my heart and to open the eares of my vnderstanding that I may not onely reuerently and profitably hearken to thy voyce speaking vnto mee out of thy word labouring all the dayes of my life to conforme my selfe in practise to the obedience thereof but also that I may fruitfully bee partaker of the fruites and effectes of the death and passion of thy deare Sonne which it pleased thee in this Sacrament to offer vnto me To this end and purpose I beseech thee to graunt that I be not carried away in the contemplation and consideration of the earthly and corruptible thinges obiected therein to my senses but that my Fayth may be set vp and raised to the beholding and assured feeling of those Graces which it pleaseth thee by the same to offer vnto mee Giue me grace good Lord to bring with me a steadfast Fayth in the trueth of thy promises that by it as by an eye I may behold by the same as by a hand I may apprehend Iesus Christ thy Sonne sitting at thy right hand to be my onely and continuall iustifier sanctifier and redeemer Graunt me grace also to bring with me as an earnest hatred of all my former euilles whatsoeuer so a syncere loue of all righteousnesse and wel-doing that I by the power of thy spirite crucifying the Old man with the lustes and concupiscences therof specially such as beare the greatest sway in mee may be strengthened in the new man dayly to thinke speake doe those things which may be acceptable and well pleasing in thy godly presence And I beseech thee further to giue me grace to bring with me sound and syncere loue towardes all yea euen towardes mine enimies that I may not onely forget and forgiue all the iniuries and wronges that they haue deuised sayd or done against mee but also pray earnestly vnto thy Maiestie for them and purchase and procure their welfare and good by all the meanes I can Graunt O deare Father that I being purged from the filth of sinne may be made a fitte receptacle and dwelling place for thee and thy Sonne to come and dwell in so that spending my dayes in reuerence of thy Maiestie in the benefiting of my breathren and procuring mine own good I may finish my course in thy fayth and so be made partaker of eternall glorie through Iesus Christ thy Sonne my Lord and onely Sauiour So be it A prayer to be priuately vsed after the publike exercises of the Church as the preaching of the word the administration of the Lordes Supper shall be ended I Doe vnfaignedly confesse good Father that the graces are very great yea most excellent which thou hast vouchsafed this day to bestowe vppon mee wretched sinner that I am by the vse and partaking of thy holy Word and Sacramentes and namely for that it hath pleased thee thereby to increase my knowledge to confirme my Fayth to assure me that Iesus Christ thy deare Sonne hath not onely died for me but also giuen him selfe to be my spirituall nourishment to eternall life and saluation with innumerable such other benefites and blessinges For these and whatsoeuer other mercies which thy Maiestie hath freely bestowed vpon me I doe yeelde thee the humblest thankes and heartiest prayse that possibly I can beseeching thee to accept mee and this my Sacrifice of prayse thanksgiuing according to the measure that thou mercifully hast bestowed vpon me And because I feele my selfe thorough the cursed corruptiō of mine owne nature woonderfully inclined to the forgetfulnesse of thy goodnesse I beseech thee to graue these thinges in my heart with a claw of Adamant and to imprint them there that by the sight thereof and meditation therein I may bee prouoked daily more and more to magnifie the multitude of thy mercies which doest not onely bestow vpon me these great and wonderfull graces but euen then when by the meanes of my sinnes I had deserued eternall condemnation hast gratiously giuen mee the same And I pray thee further to giue me grace good Lord to expresse this my thankfulnesse towardes thee not in wordes onely but also in the deedes of a holy conuersation that I daily increasing and growing in a sound Fayth which worketh by loue and bringeth foorth all good workes may order and direct my whole life to the aduauncement of thy glorie the edification of my breathren and mine owne eternall comfort at the last through Iesus Christ thy Sonne my Lord and onely Sauiour Amen FINIS
and defiance against all sinne wickednes that we please not our selues in our sinnes but straightly examining sinne by the iust rule of thy holy Lawes we may vtterly from the bottome of our heartes condemne euen the least sinne in our selues hauing our whole ioy comfort and consolation vpon those thinges which be agreable to thy blessed will alwayes being afraide to doe any thing contrarie to the same that wee may euen from the bottome of our heartes examine and trie our thoughtes before thy presence that they be vpright and vnfaigned not hypocriticall in outwarde shew onely and appearaunce but that euen all corners of our heartes being opened and disclosed before thee wee may euen as though it were openly before the face of the whole World bring them in shew knowing that a double heart is detestable in thy sight and that wee may walke alwayes as before thine eyes not only before the eyes of man being more carefull to walke circumspectly in this respect that we haue thee to be a viewer of our doings a thousande-folde more then the eyes of man that thus we may walke as becommeth thy children not onely in outward shew but also in sinceritie of hart abhorring euen the least sinne in our selues striuing resisting and fighting against sinne not delighting our selues in sinne nor nourishing the same in our brest but earnestly embracing and studiously seekeing after those things which be pleasant in thine eyes that neither the feare of man nor losse of goods life landes possessions or friends draw vs away from thee to doe any the least thing contrary to thy will and pleasure neither the fauour or friendshippe of man nor yet the flattering enticement of this world nor the vaine promotions of the same doe mooue vs any whit from the true and endlesse ioy delight and pleasure which wee ought to haue in those thinges which be agreeable to thy will and the constant performance of the same but that alwayes to the end of our life we may continue in thy pathes growing and increasing from faith to fayth from strength to strength till at the length we shall come to thy euerlasting rest Amen A Prayer for the KING O Gratious Lord and most mercifull Father wee acknowledge thee the Lord of Lordes and the King of Kinges creating at the beginning ruling all things euermore in Heauen and Earth according to thy wonderfull wisedome and power and our selues to be thy poore seruantes the worke of thy hands and the sheepe of thy pasture subiected to thy Maiestie and depending vpō thy fatherly prouidence for al things Neuerthelesse seeing thou in thy wisedome annoyntest Kinges and Queenes appointing them to rule ouer thy people to sit as Lieutenants in thy seate to minister iustice and most of all as Fathers and Nurses to maintaine and chearish thy Church commanding vs not onely to obey honour them but moreouer to pray for them as watching ouer vs for our good We therefore beseech thee for thy great mercies sake and for Iesus Christes sake to shew thy mercy to al Kings and princes that maintaine thy glorious Gospell but especially we pray thee to blesse our gratious King in all spirituall blessinges in Christ Iesus and in all temporall blessinges according to thy good pleasure that in the great measures of thy effectuall loue he may more and more finde great increase of vertue wisedome strength in Christ Iesus to the faythfull and happy discharge of his duetie that his holienesse and ioy and zeale of thy house may be multiplied and euerlasting And seeing it hath pleased thee of thy singular mercy to giue him this speciall honour miraculously deliuering him out of the handes of his enimies to set a double Crowne vpon his head and to make him the instrument to aduaunce thy glory Gospell amongst vs. As wee giue thee most heartie thanks for these singular benefites so we beseech thee to make him and vs euermore thankefull for it and in thy good pleasure still to preserue him for the continuance of these blessinges towardes vs with all increase from time to time to thy glory the benefite of the Church and his infinite peace in Christ Iesus the prince of peace And furthermore wee pray thee for him and the estate that such as be enimies of the Gospell and his enimies also for the defence thereof may not despise the peace offered them to repentaunce but that they may account thy long suffering and his peaceable and vnbloudy gouernement an occasion of saluation to their soules and vnfeined loue to the trueth and their mercifull soueraigne Otherwise if they still remaine disobedient to the trueth disobedient to his Highnesse and daungerous to the State then O God of our Saluation as thou hast discouered them so discouer them still as thou hast preuented them so preuent them still and let their eyes waxe weary with looking and their heartes faint with wayting for the comming of that which yet commeth not neither let it come O Lord we beseech thee but a blessed and a long raigne to him and peace to Sion for euermore Also deare father so blesse so loue so in thy spirite sanctifie and keepe him that he may in the spirit of counsell and fortitude so rule that other sister also namely this cōmon wealth that they may flourish togeather and grow vp together as Palme trees in beautie and in strength giuing ayde and helpe one to an other that in the Church the glory of God may appeare as the Sunne in his brightnesse and that the lande may flow with Milke and Honie and true peace abound therein as in the triumphant reigne of Salomon These garces O Lord are great and we miserable sinners vnworthie of the least of them therefore looke not to vs but to thy selfe not to our iniquities but to thy great mercies accepting the death passion of thy Sonne as a full ransome for al our offences throwing them into the bottome of the Sea and making his Crosse and Resurrection effectuall in vs to al obedience and godlinesse as becommeth thy Saintes that to all other thy good blessings towards our gratious Soueraigne this may be added that he gouerneth blessedly ouer a blessed people a people blessed of the Lord and beloued of the Lord that thy graces may abounde as the warers of the Sea in the King and in the people in the Church and in the Common wealth from day to day till the day of our translation into thy kingdome where iustice Inhabiteth where also we shall inhabite and reigne with thee according to thy promise for euer Graunt these things O mercifull Father for thy deare Sonne our Lord Iesus Christ his sake in whose name we craue them at thy mercifull hand praying furthermore for them as he hath raught vs to pray Our Father which art in heauen c.
