down sin as it were with a sword Depart not from thy pastours pure but aid them at their need Which break to us the bread of life whereon our souls do feed O blessed Spirit of truth keep us in peace and unity Keep us from sects and errours all and from all papistry Convert all those that are our foes and bring them to thy light That they and we may well agree and praise thee day and night O Lord increase our saith in us and love so to abound That man and wife be void of strife and neighbours about us round In our time give thy peace O Lord to nations far and nigh And teach them all thy holy word that we may sing to thee All glory to the Trinity that is of mighties most The living Father and the Son and eke the holy Ghost As it hath been in all the time that hath been heretofore As it is now and so shall be henceforth for evermore Da pacem Domine GIve peace in these our days O Lord Great dangers are now at hand Thine enemies with one accord Christs Name in every land Seek to deface Root out and rase Thy true right worship indeed Be thou the stay Lord we thee pray Thou help'st alone in all need Give us that peace that we do lack Through misbelief and ill life Thy word to offer thou dost not slack Which we unkindly gain-strive With fire and sword This healthful word Some persecute and oppress Some with the mouth Confess the truth Without sincere godliness Give peace and us thy Spirit down send With grief and repentance true Do pierce our hearts our lives to amend And by faith in Christ renew That fear and dread War and bloudshed Through thy sweet mercy and grace May from us slide Thy truth may bide And shine in every place The Lamentation O Lord in thee is all my trust give ear unto my woful cry Refuse me not that am unjust but bowing down thy heavenly eye Behold how I do still lament my â—ins wherein I do offend O Lord for them shall I be shent sith thee to please I do intend No no not so thy will is bent to deal with sinners in thine ire But when in heart they shall repent thou grant'st with speed their just desire To thee therefore still shall I cry to wash away my sinful crime Thy bloud O Lord is not yet dry but that it may help me in time Haste thee O Lord haste thee I say to pour on me thy gifts of grace That when this life shall flit away in heaven with thee I may have place Where thou dost reign eternally with God which once did down thee send Where angels sing continually to thee be praise world without end A Thanksgiving after the receiving of the Lords Supper THe Lord be thanked for his gifts and mercies evermore That he doth shew unto his saints to him be laud therefore Our tongues cannot so praise the Lord as he doth right deserve Our hearts cannot of him so think as he doth us preserve His benefits they be so great to us that be but sin That at our hands for recompence there is no hope to win O sinful flesh that thou shouldst have such mercies of the Lord Thou dost deserve most worthily of him to be abhorr'd Nought else but sin and wretchedness doth rest within our â—earts And stubbornly against the Lord we daily play our parts The sun above in firmament that is to us a light Doth shew it self more clear and pure then we be in his sight The heavens above and all therein more holy are then we They serve the Lord in their estate each one in his degree They do not strive for mastership nor slack their office set But serve the Lord and do his will hate is to them no let Also the earth and all therein of God it is in aw It doth observe the formers will by skilful natures law The sea and all that is therein doth bend when God doth beck The spirits beneath do tremble all and fear his wrathful check But we alas â—oâ— whom all these were made them for to rule Do not so know or love the Lord as doth the ox or mule A law he gave for us to know what was his holy will He would us good but we would not avoid the thing is ill Not one of us that seeketh out the Lord of life to please Nor doth the thing that might us lead to Christ and quiet ease Thus are we all his enemies we can it not deny And he again of his good will would not that we should dy Therefore when remedy was none to bring us unto life The Son of God our flesh he took to end our mortal strife And all the law of God the Lord he did it full obey And for our sins upon the cross his bloud our debts did pay And that we should not yet forget what good he to us wrought A signe he left our eyes to tell that he our bodies bought In bread and wine here visible unto thine eyes and taste His mercies great thou mayst record if that his Spirit thou hast As once the corn did live and grow and was cut down with lithe And threshed out with many stripes out from his husk to drive And as the mill with violence did tear it out so small And made it like to earthly dust not sparing it at all And as the oven with fire hot did close it up with heat And all this done that I have said that it should be our meat So was the Lord in his ripe age cut down by cruel death His soul he gave in torments great and yeelded up his breath Because that he to us might be an everlasting bread With much reproach and troubles great on earth his life he led And as the grapes in pleasant time are pressed very sore And plucked down when they be ripe and let to grow no more Because the juyce that in them is as comfortable drink We might receive and joyful be when sorrows make us shrink So Christ his bloud out pressed was with nails and eke with spear The juyce thereof doth save all those that rightly do him fear And as the corns by unity into one loaf are knit So is the Lord and his whole Church though he in heaven sit As many grapes make but one wine so should we be but one In faith and love in Christ above and unto Christ alone Leading a life without all strife in quiet rest and peace From envy and from malice both our hearts and tongues to cease Which if we do then shall we shew that we his chosen be By faith in him to lead a life as always willed he And that we may so do indeed God send us all his grace Then after death we shall be sure with him to have a place R.
