occasion that thy holie name hath beene blasphemed among the ignorant hast of late yeeres sore abashed the whole Realme people of England with the terrour and danger of rebellion thereby to awake vs out of our dead sleepe of carelesse securitie and hast yet by the miseries following the same rebellion most sharpelie punished part of our countriemen and Christian brethren who haue most neerelie fealt the same and most dreadfullie hast scourged some of the seditious persons with terrible executions iustlie inflicted for their disobedience to thee and to thy seruant their Souereigne to the example of vs all and to the warning correction and amendment of thy seruants of thine accustomed goodnesse turning alwaies the wickednesse of euill men to the profit of them that feare thee who in thy iudgements remembring thy mercie hast by thine assistance giuen the victorie to thy seruant the Queene hir Nobilitie and faithfull Subiects with so little or rather no effusion of Christian bloud as also might iustlie haue ensued to the exceeding comfort of all sorrowfull Christian harts and that of thy fatherlie pitie and mercifull goodnesse onelie and euen for thine owne name sake without anie our desert at all Wherefore we render vnto thee most humble and hartie thanks for these thy great mercies shewed vnto vs who had deserued sharper punishment most humblie beseeching thee to grant vnto vs all that confesse thy holie name and professe the true and perfect Religion of thy holie Gospell thy heauenlie grace to shew our selues in our liuing according to our profession that we trulie knowing thee in thy blessed word may obedientlie walke in thy holie commandements and that we being warned by this thy fatherlie correction doo prouoke thy iust wrath against vs no more but may enioie the continuance of thy great mercies towards vs thy right hand as in this so in all other inuasions rebellions and dangers continuallie sauing and defending our Church our Realme our Queene and people of England that all our posterities ensuing confessing thy holie name professing thy holie Gospell and leading a holie life may perpetuallie praise and magnifie thee with thy onlie sonne Iesus Christ our sauiour and the holie Ghost to whome be all laud praise glorie and empire for euer and euer Amen In time of extreame troubles by reason of the tyrannie of strange and forraigne gouernours ETternall and euerlasting God father of our Lord Iesus Christ thou that shewest mercie and keepest couenant with them that loue thee and in reuerence keepe thy commandments euen when thou powrest foorth thy hot displeasure and iust iudgements vpon the obstinate and inobedient we heere prostrate our selues before the throne of thy Maiestie from our harts confessing that iustlie thou dooest punish vs by the tyrannie of strangers and that more iustlie thou maist bring vpon vs againe the bondage and the yoke which of thy mercie for a season thou hast remoued Our kings princes and people in blindnesse haue refused the word of thine eternall veritie and in so dooing we haue refused the league of thy mercie offered vnto vs againe in such aboundance that none can be excused by reason of ignorance Yet neuerthelesse to the iudgement of men impietie ouerfloweth the whole face of this Realme For the great multitude delight themselues in ignorance and idolatrie And such alas as appeere to reuerence and embrace thy word doo not expresse the fruits of repentance as it becommeth the people to whome thou hast shewed thy selfe so mercifull and fauourable These are thy iust iudgements O Lord whereby thou punishest sinne by sinne and man by his owne iniquitie so that there can be no end of sinne except thou preuent vs with thy vndeserued grace Conuert vs therefore O Lord and we shall be conuerted Suffer not our vnthankefulnesse to procure of thy most iust iudgments that strangers againe haue empire aboue vs neither yet that the light of thy Gospell bee taken from vs but howsoeuer it be that the great multitude be altogether rebellious and also that in vs there remaine perpetuall imperfections yet for the glorie of thine owne name and for the glorie of thine onlie begotten sonne Iesus Christ whose truth and Gospell thou of thy meere mercie hast manifested among vs it will please thee to take vs into thy protection and defence that all the world may know that as of thy mercie thou hast begun this worke of our saluation by the publishing and preaching of thy Gospell among vs so of this same mercie thou wilt continue it maugre the heads of all our malicious enimies Grant vs this mercifull father for Christ Iesus thy sonnes sake So be it A thanks-giuing after our deliuerance from the tyrannie of strange enimies with praier for continuance of peace betwixt Realmes NOW Lord seeing that we enioie comfort both in bodie and in spirit by reason of this quietnesse of thy mercie granted vnto vs after our most desperate troubles in the which we appered vtterlie to haue beene ouerwhelmed we praise and glorifie thy mercie and goodnesse who pitiouslie lookedst vpon vs when we in our selues were vtterlie confounded But seeing O Lord that to receiue benefits at thy hands and not to be thankefull for the same is nothing else but a seale against vs in the daie of iudgement wee most humblie beseech thee to grant vnto vs harts so mindfull of the calamitie past that we may continuallie feare to prouoke thy iustice to punish vs with the like or worsse plagues And seeing that when we by our owne power were altogether vnable to haue freed our selues from the tyrannie of strangers and from the bondage thraldome pretended against vs that of thine especiall goodnesse didst moue the harts of our neighbours of whome we had not deserued so much fauour to take vpon them the common burthen with vs and for our deliuerance not onlie to spend the liues of manie but also to hazard the state tranquillitie of their Realme and Common-wealth Grant vnto vs O Lord that with such reuerence we may remember thy benefits receiued that after this in our default we neuer enter into hostilitie against those Realmes and Nations Suffer vs neuer O Lord to fall to that ingratitude and detestable vnthankefulnesse that we should seeke the destruction and death of those whome thou hast made instruments to deliuer vs from the tyrannie of mercilesse strangers Dissipate thou the counselles of such as deceiptfullie trauell to stir vp the harts of the inhabitants of either Realme against the other Let their malicious practises be their owne confusion and grant of thy mercie that loue concord and tranquillitie may continue and encrease among the inhabitants of both Realmes especiallie of this Isle of England euen till the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ by whose glorious Gospell thou of thy mercie dooest call vs both to vnitie peace and Christian concord the full perfection whereof we shall possesse in the fulnesse of thy kingdome when all offences shall be remooued

wicked men whom I see or heare doo abuse their authoritie vnder me against the good and godlie will I cast downe againe but I will increase the iust with honours The subtill man will I thrust out of my house neither will I suffer those that be scoffers and speake deceiptfullie to tarrie in my sight The extortioner and cruell man which doo speedilie put in execution their wicked deuises and whose hands are full of bribes those will I vtterlie destroie from off the earth I will bridle the proud and dissolute persons I will terrifie the wicked that they shall not lift vp their hornes so high with blasphemous words against thee and thine annointed Finallie I will destroie the slanderer and false accuser I will not suffer the proud and the ambitious to dishonor thee Yea I will painefullie and without anie delaie worthilie punish whomsoeuer I shall vnderstand to be wicked and will purge the holie Citie of the Lord from all wicked persons Contrariwise I searching out on euerie side men that loue the truth will take them to be my familiar companions and counsellers and I will not vse in dooing mine affaires anie but such as are trustie and faithfull both to God and their Prince If I doo knowe anie that feareth thee and that keepeth thy statutes I will ioine him to my fellowship those I saie whome I see doo worship thee trulie and deuoutlie will I ioine my selfe as companions with me Yea all my delight Lord shall be vpon the Saincts that are in the earth with me to comfort them and to promote such as excell in vertue and godlinesse For otherwise I am able to doo little or nothing that can profit thee Neither will I suffer anie violence to bee done vnto them that be godlie by anie man but will rebuke euen the mightie Princes for their sakes None shall touch thine annointed Priests no man will I suffer to hurt anie of thy Prophets CAP. V. TO conclude I will surelie care for nothing so much now that I am set peaceablie ouer the kingdome and haue the people by thy goodnesse committed vnto me as to institute an holie and righteous gouernement And thou granting me grace when the case so standeth that the bonds of the lawes are broken and the kingdome is in anie thing disordered or confounded I will carefullie compose and set the same againe in good order and establish the pillers and foundations thereof in their places if they be remoued And this will I doo by the direction of thy reuealed will that all things may remaine safe among my people by the difference of right and wrong preserued and mainteined and that they may followe thee our God with great cheerefulnesse whosoeuer delight in righteousnesse when they see the disordered state of the Realme restored by me at the last into the ancient most right order of discipline and iustice prescribed by thy word Thus by the grace and assistance of thy holie spirit the which I beseech thee plentifullie to powre downe vpon me doo I thy seruant determine with my selfe vnfeinedlie to serue and worship thy dreadfull Maiestie O my God in feare and trembling and I will labour to preserue and to amplifie thy Church with as great care as is possible that thy pure worship may continuallie to all posteritie be exercised therein For so haue I sworne euen by an oth and make my solemne Uowes that I will doo that I will keepe thy most sacred Heasts and iust lawes inuiolable the which thing I will performe in deede Neither will I suffer my selfe at anie time to be drawne awaie from thy iudgements nor to depart one ynch from thy holie commandements O God which waie soeuer thou leadest me But trusting onelie vnto thee by whose power and conduct I haue gotten the Empire and regiment of so manie large prouinces strong cities and goodlie townes I will now set my kingdome in good order and place the throne of iudgement therein euen the tribunall seate of my father DAVID that iudgement and iustice may be ministred indifferentlie therein to euerie one and the safetie and welfare of the people that loue thee and fauour thy truth be procured and maintained For to this end O my God hast thou giuen me this kingdome the possession of so manie goodlie countries and sundrie sorts of people and caused me to obteine it with so great facilitie and ease that being thus peaceablie placed therein I should loue Ierusalem with all my hart and that I should root out all the inhabitants therein that prophane the land with filthie superstition and euill life and cause all diligentlie to obserue thy statutes and lawes giuen them of thee And so I make a Uow I will O Lord I saie according to the simplicitie of my hart both prouide faithfullie for thy people and also guide them by good counsell and continuallie defend and preserue them by my power as thou in thy heast hast commanded me And that I may the better perfourme these my Uowes vnto thee and thoroughlie discharge my dutie to the glorie of thine eternall Maiestie I beseech thee shew me thy glorie O God and let thine honour beautifie and adorne me O my KING O gouerne thou our counsels and endeuours from heauen yea all our enterprises and our counsels guide and gouerne thou from the highest heauens that thy glorie O Lord thy glorie may shine foorth in me thine humble Haudmaid to all posterities and the fame thereof fill the whole world and be perpetuallie praised of al thy creatures both in heauen and in earth visible and inuisible for euer and euer So euen so shall it be O my GOD euen so let it be Amen Amen O Lord I beseech thee let the Uowes and free promises of my mouth proceeding from an vnfeined hart be accepted of thee and teach me thy lawes more and more For vnto thee and them I confes that I owe my life Gressus meos dirige verbo tuo non dominetur in me peccatum Sic psallam nomini tuo in perpetuum persoluam vota mea per singulos dies Glorie be to GOD on high in earth peace good will towards men Halleluiah A table orderlie comprehending vnder some speciall titles all such praiers meditations and other matters whatsoeuer which conuenientlie might there vnto be referred or gathered in the first second and third Lamps or parts of this booke for the benefit of the simple reader by T.

For God there is all in all whome they doo alwaies behold and by beholding him continuallie they burne the more in loue towards him They loue and they praise him they praise and they loue him all their worke is to praise God without ending without fainting without toiling O happie yea and euermore happie shall I be if after the resolution of this mortall bodie I may heare those celestiall songs of melodie which are sung vnto the praise of the eternall King by those citizens of the supernall countrie and by the companies of the blessed spirits Happie then yea much happie should I be might I be counted woorthie to sing those sugred songs and to wait on my King my God and my Captaine to behold him in his glorie according as he hath promised saieng Father I will that they whome thou hast giuen me be with me euen where I am that they may behold my glorie which I had with thee before the foundation of the world And in another place If anie man serue me let him followe me For where I am there shall also my seruant be And againe He that loueth me shall be loued of my father and I will loue him and will shew mine owne selfe vnto him Another godlie and Christian praier for the Church and congregation presentlie assembled ALthough the holie Scriptures doo teach vs euerie where that the heauen O most good and mercifull God is thy dwelling place yet the same doth in such wise set out thine infinite goodnesse as the Church is both called and also is in deede thy sanctified house wherein thou most frequentest wherein also thy blessed name is lifted vp with high praises the faithfull instructed in thy sacred words and the holie Sacraments dulie receiued And therefore the godlie hauing an especiall regard to the honour of thy glorious name most earnestlie with a feruent mind and vehement affection doo continuallie stir vp one another to make holie assemblies with woonderfull exhortations to the intent the pure worshipping and holie inuocating of thy blessed name might onlie be therein practised Now therefore and at what time so euer we shall come together in the holie congregation our earnest request is that wee may be there with cheerefull and verie desirous minds For thou trulie hast of an exceeding liberalitie adorned thy holie Church with most flourishing right excellent gifts neither is there anie thing pretermitted that apperteineth to hir garnishing which may either belong to the spirituall decking and beautifieng thereof or to the plentious enriching of it in abundance of all heauenlie good things Which seeing they haue proceeded most fullie from thee this onlie remaineth that thou wouldest be present with vs and them which are assembled together in the name of Iesus Christ and so condescend vnto our feruent praiers who thereby doo call vpon thee as the members thereof may be annexed together with a perpetuall concord Cause all our meetings I saie good father to be in such sort as we may render due honour vnto thee Let the sacred Scriptures be heere purelie and sincerelie interpreted and let thy glorious kingdome from daie to daie be more and more inlarged making all these things to be established with thy ioious peace and the tranquillitie of thy holie spirit yea so long as we praie for the quietnesse and felicitie heereof Let vs procure substantiall and perfect good things both to our neighbours and also vnto thy blessed house and holie sanctified Church And cause that those Citizens which doo credit the sacred doctrine of thy holie Church may by thy excellent benefit become frends and faithfull brethren one to another and in the end beeing quite deliuered from thrall bring thou to passe that one daie we may altogether repose our selues in the true and most holie Ierusalem through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen Another praier for the increase of the Church THE Church is vnto thee O most good and mercifull GOD as a most roiall Queene espoused to the intent she may bring foorth vnto thee a most plentifull and holie seede Wherefore forasmuch as thou hast coupled hir vnto thee to be thy wife by faith and that she is reputed of the vngodlie as a barren woman because shee seemeth to haue left off child-bearing grant hir to be made vnto thee through thy sacred word and holie spirit afruitfull and ioifull mother of manie holie and vertuous children by whome thy glorious name may be exalted with perpetuall praises in thine holie house euen as it becommeth them Let hir be glad with a perfect and substantiall ioy for the great number of hir most faithfull religious sonnes and daughters Multiplie increase the issue of thy sacred Church I saie O God with a plentifull and an innumerable issue and let hir ingender godlie children vnto thee dailie more and more euen such as are worthie of such a father mother and to be partakers of thy blessed spirit Grant that we may altogether aspire vnto the loue of thee our most delectable bridegroome and that throughour labour laid together in stead of our forefathers who are now alreadie gathered vnto thee manie mo faithfull religious and holie children may be begotten vnto thee anew with whom we may alwaies in our posterities set out celebrate thy famous honour most noble praises Shine thou downe out of Zion O God euen from thine exceeding high vnapprochable light vpon the virgin thy blessed Church preserue hir from the number of perils which she is in cōtinuall danger of Let hir not fall to ruine nor be as a lampe despised in the opinion of the rich welthie men of this world but let thy mountaines glister and giue their light as lamps of fire Yea let righteousnes saluation breake forth out of zion as a shining light and burning lamp that all men may see it and glorifie thee Let the lamps of hir loue I saie O God be as coales of fire and a verie vehement flame of the Lord to dazell ouercome and consume hir enimies after a woonderfull and miraculous manner and cause the seuen lampes of the Uirgins euen all thy spirituall gifts and graces O GOD in the Saincts to burne bright and cleere without anie quenching before thy throne for euer Let thy Church be as a flourishing Uine spreading it selfe far abroade so that Antichrist with all his craft and industrie may not be of force to cut and hew it downe And euen as thou O Lord hast euerie where maruellouslie replenished the earth with thine inestimable goodnesse so in like manner be so good as to let the number of thy true and faithfull suppliants bee dailie more and more greatlie enlarged Let there bee continuall labouring in thy beloued Church by doctrine and example to nurture the blessed children so that their works may be a singular ornament thereof to thy glorie and the increase of all manner of vertue Let hir I saie be made dailie like vnto a most fruitefull woman that

pleased thy gratious goodnesse freelie of thine owne accord to elect and choose vs to saluation afore the beginning of the world and euen like continuall thanks be giuen vnto thee for creating vs after thine owne image for redeeming vs with the pretious bloud of thy deere Sonne when we were vtterlie lost for sanctifieng vs with thy holie spirit in the reuelation and knowledge of thy sacred word for helping and succouring vs in all our need and necessitie for sauing vs from all dangers of bodie and soule for comforting vs so fatherlie in all our troubles and afflictions for sparing vs so long and giuing vs so large time of repentance These benefits O most mercifull father like as we acknowledge to haue receiued of thine onlie goodnesse euen so we beseech thee for thy deere sonne Iesus Christes sake to grant vs alwaie thy holie spirit whereby we may continuallie growe in thankefulnesse towards thee be led into all truth and comforted in all aduersitie Strengthen our faith O Lord kindle it more and more in feruentnesse and loue towards thee and our neighbours for thy sake Suffer vs not most deere father to receiue thy word anie more in vaine but grant vs alwaie the assistance of thy grace and holie spirit that in hart word and deede we may sanctifie and doo woorship to thy holie name that we may help to amplifie thy kingdome and that whatsoeuer thou sendest we may bee hartilie well content with thy good will and pleasure Suffer vs not to lacke the thing O father without the which we can not serue thee but blesse thou so all the works of our hands that we may haue sufficient and not to be chargeable but rather helpfull vnto others Be merciful O Lord vnto our offences and seeing our debt is great which thou hast forgiuen vs in Iesus Christ make vs to loue thee and our neighbors so much the more Be thou O father our Captaine and defender in all temptations Hold thou vs by thy mercifull hand that we thereby may be deliuered from all inconuenience and end our liues in the sanctifieng and honouring of thy holie name through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen ¶ On the seuenteenth daie of Nouember commonlie called The Queenes daie Sundrie formes of Christian praiers and thanks-giuings vnto God for the preseruation of the most vertuous Ladie Elizabeth our most deare and dread souereigne Quéene of England France and Ireland defender of the faith c. verie necessarie to be vsed as generallie of all faithfull subiects continuallie so especiallie of the Mother and hir Daughter vpon the seuentéenth daie of Nouember and euerie Sabboth and holie daie in honourable remembrance of that ioifull Sabboth rest and peace from carefull mourning which that memorable seuententh daie brought to vs the banished exiles of England and persecuted members of Christ by the most happie entrance of hir most roiall and excellent Maiestie into this hir Emperiall Crowne and kingdome A Psalme Mother COme O all you that feare God come hither I praie you and giue eare a while and reherse with me y e great benefits that he the Lord hath bestowed vpon vs. Daughter For lo when the most mightie men gathered their power against vs and laie in wait for our life they conspired togither to worke our destruction as though the Lord had determined the same and exhorted one another saieng God hath forsaken them therefore persecute them now flieng awaie and take them being destitute of all helpe Moth. These men our aduersaries I saie wheresoeuer we remoued or went by sea or by land laie in wait most diligentlie for vs yea multitudes of the cruell enimies did not ceasse craftilie to enuiron and beset vs round about and ran vpon vs with gaping mouthes like raging and roring lions of malicious minds to bring vs to extremitie and to deuoure vs. Daugh.
