and Tyrants Liberty O Blessed Lord God who by thy Wisdom guidest and orderest all things most suitable to thy Justice and performest thy Pleasure always in such manner to us that thou canst also appeal to us whether thy ways be not equal we thy poor afflicted People fall down before thee acknowledging the justice of thy proceedings with us and that the amazing Judgment which as this Day befel us in thy permitting cruel Men Sons of Belial to execute their fury of their Rebellions upon Our late Gracious Soveraign and to imbrew their Hands in the Blood and Murder of the Lords Anointed that was drawn down by the great and long Provocations of this Nation sins against thee For all which and our own parts in which we sinful wretches here met together desire to humble our selves before thee and to tremble at thy presence in this Days sore Vengeance the effect as well as the defect of our Impieties the work of our own Hands upon our selves thy heavy Judgment but our own most horrible Sin for which alone did not multitude of other Sins cry out against us thou mightest justly descend down upon us all as thou didst in Sodom and leave us no other memorial than to be the frightful Monuments of thine Indignation and Fury to all Posterity Gracious is the Lord and merciful therefore it is that we are not consumed O let thy long-suffering and patience lead us to Repentance And now O Lord looking on this particular signal Judgment and thy last Trump warning us to flie from the Wrath to come We come forth to meet our God mourning in our Prayers before thee and begging the aversion of thy further displeasure and the removal of these Plagues of long continuance from us for the all-sufficient merits of the Death and Sufferings of our blessed Saviour O forgive our great and manifold Transgressions and for his bloody Passion sake deliver this Nation from Blood-guiltiness that of this Day especially O God of our Salvation Let not our crying Sins intercept our Prayers or thy Blessings but hear the Voice of our Tears and hearing forgive and heal us retire not quite from us into thine own Place Laugh not at our Calamities neither Mock in this Day of our Visitation Vindicate thy own Cause and thine own Providence that it may appear unto Men that thou bearest up the Pillars of the Earth and that by thee Kings do Reign And though thou hast suffered our Enemies to proceed to that high pitch of Violence against our late King even to kill and take possession of his Throne and Revenews Yet frustrate now at length their bold Hopes and Desires let not their mischievous imaginations Prosper least they be too Proud let them not be able to establish themselves in that prosperity and greatness they have Fancied let them not say of his Family God hath forsaken them let us persecute them Shew some Token on his seed for Good that their Enemies may see it and be ashamed because thou Lord hast Holpen and Comforted them Bow the Hearts of the Subjects of this Land as thou didst those of Israel to David that they acknowledge and receive joyfully the Heir of these three Kingdoms and fasten thou him as a Nail in a sure Place behold his Injuries and have compassion on his Innocency and let the desire of his Enemies perish like that of the Hypocrite but bring him maugre all their Oppositions to a peaceable possession of that Throne to which by Birth-light thou hast designed him and establish him in the Just Rights of his Family O Lord we wait on thee this Day for this Blessing make no longer tarrying but according to the time thou hast Plagued us send us deliverance Snatch the prey out of the Lyons Teeth and pull us out of the Burnings like a Fire-brand We beseech thee that this Day we may spread before thee the Words of Rabshekah the Proud railing and Scornful reproach of our Enemies Behold this Day their Exaltation and our Mourning O Lord our Eyes are towards thee For whom nothing is hard let it not seem a small thing to thee that we suffer but concenter our Prayers with the many Thousands that call on thee that Salvation may come to our King and through him thy blessing of Peace unto thy People Think upon those that are peaceable and faithful in the Land and deal thou with us according to thy Word wherein thou hast caused us to put our trust Let the World see that there is a God that judgeth the Earth and will send deliverance to his People in their needful time of trouble But whatsoever is let us not behave our selves frowardly but with all Christian Humility run the race thou settest before us and patiently bear the Indignation of the Lord because we have sinned against him And we meekly beseech thee that if the Divine Decree of thy Justice withstand our Petitions our Prayers may return unto our own Bosoms and that thou wilt make thy Judgments temporal and not spiritual upon us but assist us with strength proportionable to our temptations that we be not delivered to evil but that in well-doing we may commit our selves unto thee our God as unto a faithful Creator and that both our King and we may say with a Christian submission and cheerfulness It is the Lord let him do what seemeth him good to whom we desire to ascribe Honour Praise Dominion and Thanksgiving now and for evermore Amen FINIS The Contents A Preparatory Prayer folio 3 King Davids prayer for the Church and People 4 King Davids

against him and with eight hundred thousand chosen Men being mighty Men of Valour 4. And Abijah stood up upon Zemaraim which is in Mount Ephraim and said hear me thou Jeroboam and all Israel 5. Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the Kingdom over Israel to David for ever even to him and to his Sons by a Covenant of Salt 6. Yet Jeroboam the Son of Nebat the Servant of Solomon the Son of David is risen up and hath rebelled against his Lord 7. And there are gathered unto him vain Men the Children of Belial and have strengthned themselves against Rehoboam the Son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted and could not withstand them 8. And now ye think to withstand the Kingdom of the Lord in the Hand of the Sons of David and ye be a great Multitude and there are with you golden Calves which Jeroboam made you for Gods 9. Have ye not cast out the Priests of the Lord the Sons of Aaron and the Levites and have made you Priests after the manner of the Nations of other Lands So that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young Bullock and seven Rams the same may be a Priest of them that are no Gods 10. But as for us the Lord is our God and we have not forsaken him and the Priests which minister unto the Lord are the Sons of Aaron and the Levites wait upon their Business 11. And they burn unto the Lord every Morning and every Evening burnt Sacrifices and sweet Incense the Shew-bread also set they in order upon the pure Table and the Candlestick of gold with the Lamps thereof to burn every Evening for we keep the charge of the Lord our God but ye have forsaken him 12. And behold God himself is with us for our Captain and his Priests with sounding Trumpets to cry alarm against you O Children of Israel fight ye not against the Lord God of your Fathers for you shall not prosper 13. But Jeroboam caused an Ambushment to come about behind them so they were before Judah and the Ambushment was behind them 14. And when Judah looked back behold the Battel was before and behind and they cryed unto the Lord and the Priests sounded with the Trumpets 15. Then the Men of Judah gave a shout and as the Men of Judah shouted it came to pass that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah 16. And the Children of Israel fled before Judah and God delivered them into their Hands 17. And Abijah and his People slew them with a great slaughter so there fell down slain of Israel Five Hundred Thousand chosen Men 18. Thus the Children of Israel were brought under at that time and the Children of Judah prevailed because they relied upon the Lord God of their Fathers 19. And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took Cities from him Bethel with the Towns thereof and Jeshanah with the Towns thereof and Ephraim with the Towns thereof 20. Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the Days of Abijah and the Lord struck him and he died Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen Priest We will cry unto the Lord with our voice yea even unto God will we cry with our voice and he shall hearken unto us for the Lord is gracious and long suffering and of great mercy to them that call upon him People The Lord is nigh to all that be of a contrite heart and will save such as be of an humble Spirit Priest And now Lord what is our hope truly our hope is even in thee People For our Fathers hoped in thee they trusted in thee and thou didst deliver them they called upon thee and were holpen they put their trust in thee and were not confounded Priest The Lord be a Defence for the Oppressed even a Refuge in due time of trouble and they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee for thou Lord never failest them that seek thee People The merciful Goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him and his Righteousness upon Childrens Children even upon such as keep his Covenant and think upon his Commandments to do them Priest Thou therefore that art a Saviour to all that trust in thee thou that upholdeth all such as are falling and liftest up such as be down thou that healest the broken in heart and givest Medicine to heal their Sickness thou that art the Father of Mercy and God of all Consolation thou that art comfort to the Sad and strength to the Weak hear thy Servant we beseech thee look down from Heaven behold and visit us with thy Salvation Glory be to c. The Lord be with you And with thy holy Spirit OUR Father which art in Heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Amen A Prayer O Lord of Heaven and Earth God of the Spirits of all Flesh we a most sinful and therefore now a most miserable People do in the bitterness of our afflicted Souls humbly fall down at the Footstool of thy Grace most sadly bewailing our many and most heinous Sins we have multiplied our Iniquities into a violation of thy whole Law having neither performed to thee our God nor to Man the Duties thou requirest of us so that by our wicked Works we have denyed that most holy Faith whereof our Mouths have for so long a time made Profession and now in thy just Judgment thou hast set our Sins in order before our Eyes yet return O God in great Mercy unto the many thousands of thy People do thou accept and encrease in our Hearts a Detestation of all Wickedness O let not thy Scourge end in a Desolation or thine Anger go on unto the height of an everlasting Ruin but hear us merciful Father hasten the Aversion of these thy sharp Judgments from us scatter thou the People that delight in War And let the blessing of Peace be upon the Heads of all those that strive and pray for this Blessing and that for his sake by whom thou givest every blessing even Jesus Christ our Lord Amen Priest Hear our Voice O Lord out of thy holy Temple let our Complaint come before thee let it enter even into thy Ears People Our Hearts are in heaviness O let us make our Prayers unto thee in an acceptable time Priest O Lord our Iniquities are against us our Rebellions are many with which we have transgressed against thee but we confess our Wickedness and are sorry for our Sins People Our Confusion is daily before us Fearfulness and Trembling are come upon us and
