We acknowledge the debt cancell therefore the Obligation let not the multitude of them preuaile against vs but where our sinne hath abounded let thy grace more abound and as we haue multiplyed our sinnes so wee pray thee to multiply thy mercies and although we haue by continuance in them so soaked our selues that thereby we are not onely lightly stained but also haue gotten as it were the Scarlet and Purple die of them yet let them all wee pray thee beeing washed in the blood of thy deare Sonne be made as white as the Snow in Salmon as the Woolle of the Sheepe which come from washing And to conclude as our sinnes haue magnified thēselues in an infinite length breadth depth and height so let thy mercies which passe all vnderstanding of all sides and all assaies out-reach them Therefore also wee most humblie desire thee ô Lord that the sinne being pardoned thy wrath which is alreadie declared may be appeased towardes all the Churches of our profession and especiallie towardes vs that the manifolde breaches of the Churches and Common wealthes may bee made vp that those being receiued into the bosome of the Church which belong to thy election the rest of the Papistes Heretikes may be vtterly rooted out and that the enimies in religion being slaine we may to the vttermost thinke all one thing in the honest and peaceable gouernement of the Common wealth Vpon which vniting of vs in all trueth and honestie the curses of the Plague and barrennesse being remooued a way may be made to thy blessinges which as the Hilles doe the Vallies may make our land holesomely fruitefull And that not onely the wrath which is alreadie kindled may be quenched but that which hath been lately threatened may be caused to retyre For the graunt wherof vnto vs we beseech thee to remember that how vnworthy soeuer yet are we thy people the Sheepe of thy pasture whō thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood watched ouer with a carefull eye defended with a mightie hand despise not therfore ô Lord the works of thy handes And seeing thou hast loued vs when we hated thee visited vs when we desired thee not then acknowledged vs when we knew not thee now that there be a number of vs which loue thee desire thine aboade and acknowledge thee hold on thy loue still depart not from vs deny vs not ô thou God of trueth which art the God that changest not And if thou wouldest or couldest forget vs calling vpon thee yet what should become of thy great name which is called vpon by vs And therefore for thy glories sake and for thy blessed names sake which in our destruction should be rent and runne through spare vs spare vs good Lord according to the vsuall dealing which thou hast euer kept with those which in prayer haue had recourse vnto thee and according to the old and vnchangeable nature of a mercifull kind sparing and long suffering God Which mercie wee doe not ô Lord desire to the end that wee should tumble and wallow our selues in our accustomed neglect and contempt of thy holy word but togeather with mercie for our sinnes and the rewarde of them wee most humblie craue vpō the knees of our heartes that for the time to come how long or how short soeuer wee with deniall and detestation of our selues and of our wicked lustes may offer vp vnto thee in Iesus Christ our selues our bodies and soules to be seruantes at thy holy commaundement in that reasonable seruice which the high reason of thy holy word doth prescribe and to be weapons or instrumentes of righteousnesse and holinesse as they haue been heretofore of the contrarie All which thinges as whatsoeuer thou knowest to be further needfull for vs or for any of the Churches we pray thee as our Sauiour hath taught c. A Confession of Sinnes with Faith and Repentance O Mercifull and heauenly Father we thy seruantes doe humbly prostrate our selues before thy Maiestie ackowledging heere in thy sight our hainous offences committed against thy Maiestie seeing beholding thy heauie wrath against them We feele our selues laden ô Lord our God with a huge companie of horrible sinnes wherof euen the very least being but conceiued in thought is sufficient in iudgement to throw vs down to the euerlasting burning lake Our owne consciences ô Lord doe beare witnesse against vs of our manifolde transgressions of thy blessed Law of our securitie and sencelesse blindnesse running headlong to destruction cōmitting sinne after sinne although not notorious to the world yet horrible before thine eye The thoughtes of our hearts rise vp in iudgement against vs the vanitie of our talke before thy Maiestie condemneth vs the wickednesse of our deeds from thy sight reiecteth vs all our wicked thoughtes wordes and deedes with the inwarde corruption of our nature doe altogeather as it were a whole lumpe and load of sinne lie heauie vpon vs and with their intollerable weight doe euen presse vs downe to Hell We doe daily grone vnder the burthen of them inwardly lamēting our owne follie so greedily running into them In heauen earth or hell we see none able to sustaine the weight of them but euen thy dearely beloued sonne Iesus Christ who in mercie infinite and compassion endles hath sustained and ouercome that endlesse punishment due vnto them in him therefore in him most mercifull Father and through him wee come to thee beeing fully assured according to thy promise that thou wilt accept and take that full recompence which hee thy deare Sonne hath made for vs as a iust ransome for all the sinnes of all those who with a true fayth take hold on him In him therefore we see thine anger towardes vs appeased thy wrath satisfied our debts paied Increase in vs good Lord we beseech thee this liuely and feeling Fayth for we feele it oftentimes in vs very weake and troubled with many doubtes increase it in vs ô Lord that we may through thy holy spirite be assured that the punishment of our sinnes is fully in thy Sonne discharged Make vs ô Lord our God to feele this same in our soules and consciences that Iesus Christ is ours and all that he hath done that we are grafted into his body and made one with him and therefore fellow heires with him of euerlasting life Let vs not onely haue these wordes in our mouthes good Lord but through thy holy spirit let vs feele the comfort of them in our heartes fully sealed and setled in vs that wee feeling our selues inwardly before thy iudgement seate discharged and our consciences towardes thee appeased may be swallowed vp with an vnfaigned loue toward thy heauenly Maiestie and towardes our breathren for thy sake Make sinne to die in vs dayly more and more that wee may hate detest and vtterly abhorre all sinne wickednesse in all men but especially in our selues that we may strongly through thy holy spirite set our selues in open warre

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.
