That thou wilt cast them all into the bottome of the Sea Now blessed LORD GOD we pray thee as that mighty host of Pharaoh sunke into the red Sea like a stone so that neither Sonne of man nor Sun of

and comfort thereof O blessed LORD GOD let thy glorious presence shine into his heart with all those sweet refreshings with which thou art wont to fill those happy soules which depart in thy favour and at peace with thee Let the pretious deservings and saving blood-shed of CHRIST JESVS appeare fresh unto the eye of his faith And let the blessed Angell ministring Spirits to thy chosen at thy

in time of Plague O LORD our GOD remember us wee pray thee in mercy concerning that heavie and sore judgement of the Plague of Pestilence that fearefully walketh in darknesse and wasteth at noone day which thy just wrath hath kindled in the chiefe City of this Kingdome Wee pray thee good Father to blesse us with care and wisedome to meete thee now at first with truly remorsefull and repentant hearts both for our own personall sinnes and the crying abhominations of the times Let us seeke thee with fervency and truth in daies of humiliation and fasting and cry mightily unto thee that so turning al unto thee with unfained repentance and sincere resolution to amend thou maist in mercy heale our Kingdome and turne thine indignation away from us A Prayer in time of Plague MOst gratious GOD sith by thy good providence we are met together at this time solemely to humble our selves and afflict our soules in thy glorious presence and before thy pure eye we humbly beseech thee to give unto every one of us spirituall ability and the saving assistance of thy Holy Spirit that we may all doe it unfainedly fruitfully effectually in the name of JESVS CHRIST O Most mighty and blessed LORD GOD our ever loving Father in JESVS CHRIST We poore wretches thy unworthiest servants do heere humbly prostrate our selves our soules and bodies before thy Throne of grace acknowledging from our hearts that we are the vilest of all Thy Creatures by reason of our manifold and hainous sins we are defiled and polluted in every power and part both of body and soule to the very heart roote and from the beginning of our being we laid at first a bloudy foundation with Adam in Paradise which utterly undid all mankinde and had our hands in that horrible rebellion which brought all mischiefs and miseries all sinne and sorrow upon all the sonnes and daughters of Adam from the Creation to the end of the world yea and all those Hellish woes and tortures which shall lie upon damned soules everlastingly O LORD strike our hearts with remorse for This sin of which we take so little notice that we may bee humbled for it all the daies of our life Wee came into this world very sinkes of all impurity concupiscence and filth we brought with us understandings starke blinde in all heavenly things wills stubborne froward rebellious to every good word and worke Memory sinfull and defiled hard and stony hearts raging and bedlam passions earthly and sensuall thoughts and imaginations dead and guilty consciences eyes full of Adultery wantonnesse and wandrings eare open to all rotten and ribald talke tongues set on fire by hell hands full of iniquity feete ready to carry us to all manner of villany and vanity even bodies and soules ingrafted into the cursed communion of the Divell and wicked spirits by reason of that originall corruption and crookednesse which we drew from the loines of our sinfull Parents And this hereditary masse of naturall filth lurkt in our natures like venome and poison which made us odious and abominable in thy sight before wee were able to sin when wee had power to serve the Divell it broke out upon us into as many fearefull transgressions and abominable lusts as could possibly proceed from so empoysoned a fountaine And since that time good Lord thou knowest we have borne our selves like Traytors and rebells against thy holy Majesty we have actually transgrest all thy blessed Lawes and Commandements every manner of way in thought word and deed fearefully wounding our consciences greeving thy good spirit and treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath O Lord wee have grievously sinned against Thee by contempt of thy Word The crying sinne of this place by Atheisme ignorance profanenesse

have made them much more sinfull by our actuall transgressions ever since we have added a great deale of folly in respect of the mystery of CHRIST every way LORD thou knowest we are become exceeding sinfull We humbly intreate thee in the name of the LORD JESVS to illighten our mindes and open our eyes to see the length and breadth the height and depth of this our sinfull misery for which thou mightest justly bring upon us all the curses in thy booke and all the torments in hell and in the meane time plague us with giving us over to more hardnesse of heart blindnesse of minde deadnesse of conscience slavery under our lusts a reprobate sence and to be finally sealed up with the spirit of slumber against the day of vengeance which are farre worse then all the plagues of Egypt 1. Thou mightest Holy Father even thine owne selfe for our many dishonours and disobedience against thee draw that sword against us that would eate flesh and drinke blood suffer that wrath to be kindled in thy bosome against us which would burne unto the bottome of Hell come against us as a Beare robbed of her whelps and rent the caule of our hearts and teare us in peeces like a Lyon when there is none to helpe 2. Thine owne deare Sonne might for ever deny us his pretious bloud to wash away the least staine from our sinfull soules 3. Thy Holy Spirit might never more put any motion into our hearts 4. Thy blessed Angels might take no more charge over us or be ministring spirits unto us for our good but leave us as a prey to that roaring Lyon and his damned Angels 5. All the Creatures might come justly armed against us with their severall stings and rage to make an end of us for rebelling against thee their Creator 6. This Kingdome wherein we live might justly fall into the mouth of some horrible confusion and we inwrapt in the miseries and desolations thereof 7. All crosses afflictions and thine angry visitations upon us might be unto us the very beginnings of Hellish paines 8. Thy many mercies unto us which should leade us unto repentance might onely serve to far us against the day of slaughter 9. The day of our gratious visitation might end and the Sun set upon the Prophets 10. All thy blessed Ordinances might bee unto us the savour of death unto death 11. Our bodies and soules might bee most justly cast into the bottome of Hell there to be tormented with the damned for ever and ever O LORD our GOD we humbly beseech thee for the LORD JESUS his sake let a serious consideration of this our sinfullnesse and cursednesse breake our stony hearts into peeces make them burst and bleed within us and good LORD our GOD we being thus sincerely humbled let us get faster hold upon the LORD JESVS with a sound and fruitfull faith then heretofore by a stedfast looking upon him and all his sufferings and satisfactions from his comming from thy bosome untill his returning unto thy right hand againe by survaying all the promises of of life sealed with his blood by cleaving to his sweetest name which is to forgive iniquity transgression and sin and resting our selves with a thankfull and joyfull acknowledgement upon that blessed mystery of his free grace which reacheth from everlasting to everlasting c. A Thankesgiving MOst mighty and most glorious Lord God of Heaven and Earth our light and life our Sun and shield the strength of our hearts and our portion forever Thou art the Author of all our good the fountaine of all our blisse the well-spring of immortality and life wherein we live and move and have our being even our naturall spirituall and eternall being And therefore to thy great and glorious Majesty we render from the bottome of our hearts all possible praise and thankesgiving for all those glorious mercies and richest favours which thou from time to time hast abundantly and plentifully vouchsafed unto us most rebellious unthankfull and undeserving wretches We thanke thee for the well-head and first fountaine of them all thy love towards us and of all our good every way even the good pleasure of thine own good will thy free grace and that mercy that reacheth from everlasting to everlasting We thanke thee for putting us into this world in the best and blessed part and time thereof We might have beene borne and lived in the time of the flood and so beene drown'd and damn'd or within the compasse of that almost foure thousand yeares betweene the Creation and the comming of CHRIST out of the partition wall and so have had no meanes or ordinary possibility of salvation But have lived and dyed in cursed Paganisme and Heathenish Idolatry we might have lived in that darke and damned mid-night and have beene choakt with the doctrine of divels wee might have lived at this time of the world but amongst Turks Pagans Infidels where wee should never have heard savingly of JESVS CHRIST It 's thy infinite mercy wee have beene borne and bread and brought up in this happy time of the world and blessed corner of the Earth this illightned Goshan where we have enjoyed or might have enjoyed the glorious Gospell of our blessed GOD with such purity power and peace We thank thee blessed GOD for making us reasonable Creatures capable of grace and immortality Thou mightest have let us lie for ever in that abhorred state of being nothing and wee should never have dishonoured thee Thou mightest have made us of those Angels that are become wicked spirits and then we had beene irrecoverably lost Thou mightest have made us Toads or Tygers vermine or any vild thing and we should never have prooved such Traytors and rebells against thee as we have beene O LORD we praise thee that thou hast made us of thy noblest Creatures and given us understandings like the Angels of GOD so that if we be not cursedly cruell to our owne soules they may be saved everlastingly by the meanes that we enjoy We blesse thee Holy Father for thy Fatherly care of us being yet in our mothers wombe wonderfully and fearefully made For that miraculous mercy in bringing us into this world and giving us leave to see this light For thy gratious watching over us while wee hung upon our mothers breasts since that time for thy mercifull continuance to us of our life health liberty outward meanes the use of our wits limbs senses for all the good wee have had by good yoake-fellowes good Parents good children good servants good neighbours good governours or any of thy good creatures for every step we have made upon this Earth every bit of bread we have put into our mouthes for every draught of aire we have drawne into these fraile bodies and blessings more then heart can thinke or tongue tell and which we can neither possibly remember or expresse Above all we of this place are bound to praise thy goodnesse most mercifull GOD for that most
