confesse and forsake our sinnes correct and amend what ever is amisse in us redeeme the time we have vainly spent and work out our salvation with fear and trembling Fear God honour our King and love as Brethren and then we need never fear what man can doe unto us Luke 12.4 5. Let all of us in the fear of God in this day the latter day the day of Adversity thus consider and God it may be may be intreated and once againe restore unto us the former day the day of Prosperity wherein we may lawfully yea must and ought thankfully to be joyfull and merry To which purpose let us pray This Prayer was omitted because the Glass was run and the Season then almost as hot as these 8. years persecution but being it was really intended it is therefore here verbatim inserted O Lord God of Hosts God of the spirits of all Flesh who for a long time hast sorely afflicted us with the devouring scourge of a most unnaturall War And in the depth of thy displeasure hast suffered us to proceed to that height of impiety as unsatisfied with the bloud of our fellow-members to cut off Him who was our Head and to take away His Life for the preservation whereof we ought all of us both by the Lawes of God and Man to have sacrificed our own O Lord we do confesse that we be even astonished and confounded with the apprehension of our most sinfull and most miserable condition O who can lay his hands on the Lords Anointed and be guiltlesse Had He been a Saul and His Subjects Davids Had He beene rejected and they elected They Righteous and He Wicked yet had they sinned against their own Soules and been guilty of the highest Treason for defiling their hands with the Bloud of their Soveraigne Of how much greater condemnation doth this sinfull Land stand guilty who have laid hands upon a David and are themselves Shimea's and Shebaes who have slaine a most pious prudent and peaceable Prince and are themselves a most perfidious rebellious and wicked People Yea and to fill up the measure of our iniquity that their might be nothing wanting to make our sinne compleat we have usurpt thy Authority who art the onely Judge of Kings and committed this horrid Murther under the specious colour of Justice We have if we may make use of His owne Expressions added the mockery of Justice to the cruelty of Malice So that now we may seeme even ripe for destruction and thou mayest justly thrust in thy sickle and cut us down destroy us root and branch as in one day and lay our Land waste into a Wildernesse or give it unto Strangers to be inhabited Thou mayst sweep us away with the beesome of Destruction and give us our portion with the Devil and his Angels as the worst of Hipocrites in the hottest place of that Lake which burns with Fire and Brimstone But Lord in Judgment we humbly beseech thee to remember mercy and thou that takest no delight in the Death of one single sinner spare mercifull Lord spare a great though most sinfull Nation Pity a despised Church and distracted State heal up those Wounds which our sins have made so wide that none but thine owne hands can close them and in the tendernesse of thy unspeakable compassion set up the Sunne in his Fathers Throne that he may restore thy worship settle Peace and purge the Land of the Guilt of that innocent Loyall yea ROYALL blood wherewith it is Defiled which cries aloud for Vengeance in thine ears O Lay not this sin of bloud-guiltinesse unto the charge of this whole Nation which is committed by the hands of a handfull in comparison to the whole Neither let the Cry of that horrid murther committed upon the Person of thine Anointed by those who have graspt all power into their hands out-cry the cry of their prayers whose Loyall hearts abhorre the very thought of such a Heinous Treasonable Damnable fact and mourne in secret for it O Let it pity thee to see so flourishing a Church and State as this but lately was to be thus rent and torne in pieces by a rude rabble of Seditious Sacrilegious Rebellious Trayterous Men who have embrued their hands in the bloud of King Priest and People Who have Usurpt all authority trampled upon all Religion Violated all our Lawes infring'd all our liberties and destroy'd our properties and Father all their impieties upon thee because for our sins thou sufferest successe to attend their actions which have neither warrant nor president in thy Word But Lord we beseech thee for Jesus Christ his sake to be reconciled unto us to pardon our sins and heale our Land which for its transgressions hath many Princes yea Servants that rule over it And give us Him thy Servant our true and rightfull Soveraigne CHARLES Sonne and Heyre to his deceased Father to be our King maugre all the power and malice of thine his and our inhumane barbarous and bloud thirsty enemies Arise O Lord maintaine thine owne cause Remember how the Adversary hath blasphemed thy Name profaned thy holy places Murdered thine Anointed butchered his Subjects and now gee about to disinherit his posterity and convert a well-tempered Monarchy into a popular Anarchy This thou hast seen O Lord and because thou holdest thy tongue they think wickedly that thou art even such a one as their selves but doe thou reprove them and see before them the things which they have done That thou maist take the matter into thy hands the poore commiteth himself unto thee O be thou the helper of the friendlesse and breake the power of the ungodly and malicious Infatuate their Councells and divide them Infeeble their forces and Disperse them Impale their hearts weaken their hands and command Salvation and deliverance for thy Church the King and his people That thy worship may be restored Thine ANOINTED inthroned and Truth and Peace re-established in all our Borders and that for his sake who is the Prince of peace and that shed his most precious blood to purchase our peace even Jesus Christ the righteous To whom with thee and the blessed Spirit be ascribed as is most due All Honour Power Praise might Majesty Dominion and thanksgiving for ever and for ever Amen
