Wherein there was not only a Prayer for the King in the Letany but in a special Collect agreeing in substance with those in our later Books of Common-Prayer hereafter cited In this pious Kings reign the Bishops and Ministers in their Epistles and Dedications to him and in their Prayers before after their Sermons usually prayed most heartily and particularly for his long life religious and prosperous reign and spiritual temporal and eternal felicity And John Bale Bishop of Ossery in his Image of both Churches or Paraphrase upon St. Johns Revelation printed 1550. in the last page thereof exhorts all Gods meek-spirited

in his Speech in the House for which he was seized and imprisoned by the Army Dec. 6. 1648. at his own charge Printed 350. of the ensuing Proclamations which he caused to be sent to most Sheriffs and Mayers throughout England and Wales and some of them to be pasted up at Westminster and elsewhere in and about London notwithstanding the Anti-Parliamentary and Antimonarchical Junctoes strict
