Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt neither kept they thy great goodnesse in remembrance but were disobedient at the sea even at the Red sea 8 Neverthelesse he helped them for his names sake that he might make his power to be known 9 He rebuked the Red sea also and it was dried up so he led them through the deep as through a wildernesse 10 And he saved them from the adversaries hand and delivered them from the hand of the enemy 11 As for those that troubled them the waters overwhelmed them there was not one of them left 12 Then beleeved they his words and sang praise unto him 13 But within a while they forgat his works and would not abide his counsell 14 But lust came upon them in the wildernesse and they tempted God in the desert 15 And he gave them their desire and sent leannesse withall into their soul. 16 They angred Moses also in the tents and Aaron the saint of the Lord. 17 So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the congregation of Abiram 18 And the fire was kindled in their company the flame burnt up the ungodly 19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image 20 Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calf that eateth hay 21 And they forgat God their Saviour which had done so great things in Egypt 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham and fearfull things by the Red sea 23 So he said he would have destroyed them had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the gap to turn away his wrathfull indignation lest he should destroy them 24 Yea they thought scorn of that pleasant land and gave no credance unto his word 25 But murmured in their tents and hearkned not unto the voice of the Lord. 26 Then lift he up his hand against them to overthrow them in the wildernesse 27 To cast out their seed among the nations and to scatter them in the lands 28 They joyned themselves unto Baal-peor and ate the offering of the dead 29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their own inventions and the plague was great among them 30 Then stood up Phineas and prayed and so the plague ceased 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousnesse among all posterities for evermore 32 They angred him also at the waters of strife so that he punished Moses for their sakes 33 Because they provoked his spirit so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips 34 Neither destroyed they the heathen as the Lord commanded them 35 But were mingled among the heathen and learned their works 36 Insomuch that they worshipped their idols which turned to their own decay yea they offered their sonnes and daughters unto devils 37 And shed innocent bloud even the bloud of their sons and of their daughters whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan and the land was defiled with bloud 38 Thus were they stained with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions 39 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance 40 And he gave them over into the hand of the heathen and they that hated them were Lords over them 41 Their enemies oppressed them and had them in subjection 42 Many a time did he deliver them but they rebelled against him with their own inventions and were brought down in their wickednesse 43 Neverthelesse when he saw their adversity hee heard their complaint 44 He thought upon his covenant and pitied them according unto the multitude of his mercies yea he made all those that had led them away captive to pity them 45 Deliver us O Lord our God and gather us from among the heathen that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name and make our boast of thy praise 46 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and world without end and let all the people say Amen The Prayer O Lord God full of mercy and pity who didst many times deliver thy people from their adversity when thou for their rebelling against thee with their inventions hadst given them into the hand of the heathen Remember us O Lord according unto the savour thou bearest unto thy people and visit us with thy salvation that though we have done amisse and dealt wickedly against thee and against thy covenant yet be pleased to help us for thy Name sake and make thy power to be known in the mighty deliverance and redemption of us from so great danger and misery Give us grace to beleeve thy words to abide thy counsels to walk in thy Laws to relinquish our own sinfull and vain desires to obey our Governours Ecclesiasticall and Civill that we may not have the lot of Dathan and Abiram but at last may receive our portion in the felicity of thy chosen giving thee thanks with thine inheritance for that thou hast turned from us thy wrathfull indignation pitying us and saving us according to the multitude of thy mercies Thy Name be blessed O Lord God everlastingly and world without end through Jesus Christ our Lord.
