we have sinned and done wickedly and have rebelled even by departing from thy Precepts and from thy Judgments Neither have we hearkned to thy Servants the Prophets which spake in thy name to our Kings our Princes and our Fathers and all the People of this Land O Lord Righteousness belongs unto thee but unto us Confusion of face as at this day unto all that are near and far off through all the Countries whether thou hast driven them because of the trespass that they have trespassed against thee For we have not obeyed the Voice of the Lord our God and therefore the Curse is poured out upon us Even such a Curse as that under the whole Heaven hath not been done to us But now O Lord our God according to all thy Righteousness I beseech thee let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from us Hear the Prayer of thy Servant and cause thy face to shine upon thy Sanctuary which is now desolate O my God encline thine ear and hear open thine eyes and behold our Desolation For I do not present these Supplications before thee for mine own Righteousness but for thy great Mercies O Lord hear O Lord forgive O Lord do delay not for thine own sake O my God and for thy Peoples sake that are called by thy Name O God make speed to save us O Lord make haste to help us Prayers for the KING The First Prayer LOrd remember our distressed King and all his troubles Let thy hand hold him fast and thine arm strengthen him Let not the Enemy be able to do him violence or the Son of Wickedness hurt him Let thy Truth and Mercy be ever with him and in thy Name let his Throne be exalted O be thou his Father his God and his strong Salvation And let him be as thy first born and glorious among the Kings of the Earth O God make speed to save him O Lord make haste to help him The Second Prayer O Most Powerful Lord God the only Disposer of all the Kings and Kingdoms on the Earth who for the Punishment of the crying Sins of this Nation hast extinguished our Glory and cast the Throne down to the ground Give us not over utterly to Ruin and Confusion but bring back yet in thy good time the Heir of these Kingdoms like the Sun with healing in his Wings to repair the Breaches already made and prevent the Desolations that threaten us And however thou hast been pleased to cast a Cloud upon him in the morning of his Days yet leave him not in this Storm forsake him not thou that art the God of his Salvation but look upon his Wrongs and have compassion on his Innocency and Suffering O let it never be in the Power of Man to bar him from the Throne to which by his Birth thou hast designed him but guide him with those Councils and prosper him with that Success as may settle him in his Throne in Peace Or if the Guilt and Wickedness of his Opposers shall still continue to hinder this do it after thine own way O God with thy mighty Hand and stretched out Arm that they may both know and feel that Thou art the Protector of Kings and the Refuge of them who have no other Trust but in Thee grant this O God for the Glory of thy Name and the Comfort of thy desolate Church and People Amen The Third Prayer O Most Merciful God the only Sanctuary of sad and distressed Souls look down I beseech thee upon thy Servant who here with bended Knees and a wounded Spirit prostrate my self before thee for wo unto us we have lived to see the Crown fallen from our Heads and the Glory departed from our Israel even the anointed of the Lord driven to fly before wicked Men
and they shall gather together his Elect from the four Winds from one end of Heaven to the other 32. Now learn a Parable of the Fig-tree When his Branch is yet tender and putteth forth Leaves ye know that Summer is nigh 33. So likewise ye when ye shall see all these things know that it is near even at the Doors 34. Verily I say unto you this Generation shall not pass till all these Things be fulfilled 35. Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my Words shall not pass away 36. But of that Day and Hour knoweth no Man no not the Angels of Heaven but my Father only 37. But as the Days of Noe were so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be 38. For as in the Days that were before the Flood they were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage until the Day that Noe entred into the Ark 39. And knew not when the Flood came and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be 40. Then shall two be in the Field the one shall be taken and the other left 41. Two Women shall be grinding at the Mill the one shall be taken and the other left 42. Watch therefore for ye know not what Hour your Lord doth come 43. But know this that if the good Man of the House had known in what watch the Thief would come he would have watched and would not have suffered his House to be broken up 44. Therefore be ye also ready for in such an Hour as you think not the Son of Man cometh 45. Who then is a faithful and wise Servant whom his Lord hath made Ruler over his Houshold to give them Meat in due Season 46. Blessed is that Servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing 47. Verily I say unto you that he shall make him Ruler over all his Goods 48. But and if that evil Servant shall say in his Heart My Lord delayeth his coming 49. And shall begin to smite his Fellow Servants and to eat and drink with the drunken 50. The Lord of that Servant shall come in a Day when he looketh not for him and in an Hour that he is not aware of 51. And shall cut him asunder and appoint him his Portion with the Hypocrites There shall be weeping and gnashing of Teeth Priest Give thy Judgments O God and thy Righteousness to the King People The Lord hear him in the Day of Trouble the Name of the God of Jacob defend him Priest Send him Help from his Sanctuary and strengthen him out of Sion People Let the King rejoice in thy Strength O Lord and let him be exceeding glad of thy Salvation Priest Grant him his Hearts desire and deny him not the Request of his lips People O Lord gird him with Strength unto the Battle throw down his Enemies under him Priest Make them to turn their Backs upon him and disperse those that hate him People Deliver him from the strivings of his People Priest Deliver him from his cruel Enemies and set him above his Adversaries thou shalt rid him from the wicked Man and why because the King puts his strength in the Lord and in the Mercy of the most High he shall not miscarry People Some put their trust in Chariots and some in Horses but we remember the Name of the Lord our God Priest Save Lord and hear us O King of Heaven when we call upon thee People Be thou exalted in thy own strength so will we sing and praise thy power Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen O Lord God that dost build up Jerusalem and gather together the outcasts of Israel wherefore art thou absent so long and why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy Pasture O think upon thy Congregation whom thou hast purchased and redeemed of old think upon the tribe of thine Inheritance and mount Sion where thou hast dwelt Lift up thy Feet and disperse all those our Enemies which have done ill in thy Sanctuary For they have broken down the carved Work thereof with Axes and Hammers They have defiled the dwelling places of thy Name yea they said in their hearts let us make havock of them altogether O God how long shall the adversary do this dishonour how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever Why withdrawest thou thy hand why pluckest not thou thy right hand out of thy bosom to scatter the enemy Arise O God maintain thine own cause remember how the foolish Man blasphemeth thee daily Forget not the voice of thine Enemies the presumption of those that hate thee encreaseth ever more and more Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son c. People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen A Prayer O Eternal God and most merciful Father we humbly beseech thee to be merciful unto us and be near to help us in all those extremities which our Sins threaten to bring upon us our Enemies are strengthned against us because our rebellions are multiplied against thee and we deserve to suffer what our Enemies threaten and sudden destruction and with desolation but there is mercy with thee that thou mayst be feared and there is mercy with thee that they may not be feared shew us therefore thy mercy O Lord and let us so fear thee that we may never be brought to feel or fear them and that for our Jesus and thy Christ his sake Amen A Prayer for the Church ALmighty God and gracious Father we confess against our selves that we are most worthy of all the Judgments that thou hast threatned against us these Kingdoms this Church which is now under the Cross and near to utter ruin and extirpation unless thy mercy stept in between thy fierce Wâ—ath and our heinous Sins and howsoever the voice of our crying Sins hath ascended into thine Ears and stirred up Destroyers to root us out that we be no more a People and that thy Name be no more called upon nor hallowed by us yet we most humbly beseech thee to hear the Prayers and Supplications with strong Cryings and Tears which once our blessed Saviour offered for us upon the Cross and in the Garden and daily represents unto thee and for his all-sufficient Merits which speak better things than the Blood of Abel hear not the cry of our Sins but hear the cry of his Blood and therein wash away all our Sins let our great Miseries and Dangers suffice for that which is past and let that Orator in thy own bosom that is thine own fatherly goodness perswade and prevail for us and purchase our Deliverance and Safety hear us for our selves and others look upon us with the Eyes of Pity and Compassion consider our Enemies how many and how mighty they be and they
