Shall thy wrath burne like fire against Germany which before the Civill war was as the garden of Eden but now is a desolate wildernesse and many yeares bath groaned under that unnaturall intestine war z Thou hast turned man to destruction say likewise returne to life yee sons of men Just art thou O Lord to punish their Idolatry sacriledge and high contempt of the Ministry a but in the middest of thy Justice remember Mercy And forget not our brethren in Ireland who have suffered cruell mockings scourgings bonds imprisonments rapines deaths under the mercilesse Rebels that curse b their God and their King and looke upwards They have bewed in pieces thy Prophets throwne downe thy worship and killed thy servants with a rage that c reacheth to heaven Thy truth falleth in the streets and righteousnesse cannot enter O God of truth justice and vengeance shew thy selfe let not the sons of wickednesse ever prevaile More especially we entreat for England wherein we are a d Nation that is not worthy to be beloved for there is no truth or mercy or e knowledge of God in the Land but by swearing lying killing and stealing we breake out and bloud toucheth bloud wee have oppressed one another and therefore are justly f devoured one of another every one by the hand of his neighbour friend and brother Manasses Ephraim and Ephraim Manasses and every one eats the g flesh of his owne arme the son riseth up against the father and the father against the son to put him to death and they h thinke in so doing they doe God good service Who could have thought that this flourishing Countrey should have become a sea of bloud and this Eden a dead sea Oh the severity of Gods justice against our sins i of Sodom such fulnesse of bread abundance of idlenesse and oppression of the poore and needy our crying sins have called for plagues of leading into captivity and complaining in our streets Oh ever happy England the glory of Nations is now become the seat of Sects and Heresies the daughter of Babel the mother of all confusion Gods Temple prophaned his Ministers misused Jeroboams and Micaes Priests of the lowest of the people substituted To thee O Lord we make our complaint k This is and shall be a lamentation l O thou hope of Israel the Saviour thereof in time of trouble why shouldest thou be as a wayfaring man as a traveller that abides for a night Awake O Lord have mercy on Sion that sits as a woman m or cast away that none looketh after build up the wals of Jerusalem restore her Teachers as at the beginning Have mercy on our dread Soveraign Lord CHARLES by the grace of God King of Great Britaine France and Ireland Defender of the true ancient Catholike and Apostolike Faith and in all causes and over all persons Ecclesiasticall and Tempor all supreme moderator and Governour bind up his Soule in the n bundle of life with the Lord his God as for his enemies sling them as a stone out of the middle of a sling cloth them with shame but upon himselfe let his Crowne flourish According to his present afflictions let thy Comforts refresh his soule Give not thy Honour to another but for thy Names sake who hast said of Princes yee are Gods Vicegerents save the face of thy Annointed from the tongues of men and in the middest of weapons of war that no weapon framed against him may prosper that every tongue which shall rise up against him may be condemned and he in due time restored to his former and greater royall splendor and dignity and after this triall may come forth as gold And as a Father of the Country may pity his children and lament the shedding of the bloud of his sons and daughters Blesse the Queens most excellent Majesty ourillustrious Prince CHARLES and the rest of the Royall Progeny that they may bee like Olive plants round about their Table suffer not the sonnes of wickednesse to afflict them Wee pray likewise for the Lords of his Majesties most Honorable Privy Counsell the True hearted Peeres and Commons assembled in Parliament Give o them the spirit of Vnity in the bond of Peace the spirit of p Moderation betweene the two extreames that by the wise accomodation this civill war may cease the head and body may be

Vphold the Ministers of thy holy Word by what names or titles soever dignified or distinguished though they be r trampled under foot by Antichristians yet raise them up againe to shine like Stars in the firmament all clouds of obscuration and opposition scattered and consumed and for a continuall supply of them Blesse the two Vniversities Cambridge and Oxford that from thence religious and learned men may come forth whose s lips may preserve Knowledge and disporse it thorow the whole Land that the t mouth of ignorance and iniquity may be stopped Remember all that are afflicted especially thy servant that desireth the prayers of this congregation Oh Father of mercies and God of all consolations comfort those that be any Way cast downe The living the living shall u praise thee the dead cannot praise thee nor such as go downe into silence O great Physition of the bodies and soules of thy servants heale those whom thou hast wounded x Correct them but in thy judgement not in thy fury lest they be confounded Neither ought we in this day of humiliation to forget our thankesgivings unto thee O Father of mercies who hast chosen us in Christ before the y foundation of the world was laid to the glory of thy grace wherein we are accepted in thy beloved who hast called us with an holy calling and sealed us with the earnest of the Spirit who hast perswaded us of thy love here z and given us some hopes of glory hereafter who hast fed us all our life long even from our mothers brests and will beare us even in old age when our strength faileth us who hast led us by the Word and Spirit and drawn us by cords of love by the a bands of a man who hast delivered us in seven troubles and in eight that they have not hurt us To thee b bee glory and praise for ever and ever Oh let the thoughts of our hearts the words of our mouths and the workes of our hands be c now and ever acceptable in thy sight O Lord our strength and our Redeemer d keepe these good imaginations in the hearts of thy people for ever and prepare our hearts unto thee put thy feare into us and cause us to walke in the way of thy Commandements that wee may never depart from thee
