Christ my Lord and Sauior Amen Another prayer to our Lord Iesus Christ the euerlasting Son of God for grace and forgiuenesse O My deare Lord Iesus Christ I confesse vnto thee from the bottome of my heart with great sighing that I am alas a poo●e sinner conceiued and home in sinne and iniquity to haue liued wickedly against thee and thy holy Word with vngodly and vnthankefull heart for which I am heartily sorry But I am comfored in my heart that thou wilt not the death of a sinner which thou hast sworne and confirmed with an oath That thou wilt not be angry with me for euer nor yet for euer punish mee Thou dost call and entice all them that are weary oppressed comfortlesse sorrowfull bearts and consciences to thee and thy holy Word and namest thy selfe A heauenly Physicion which takest vpon thee our woes and miseries wherein wee through sinne are fallen and bringest to vs thy euerlasting helpe and refreshing by Preaching of thy holy Gospell wherewith wee may be holpen for euermore vpon such thy gracious promises come I to thee and pray thee from the bottome of my heart O my Lord God and Sauiour to be mercifull to me poore sinner like as thou hast promised such mercy for the loue of thy owne grace merits Amen Lord Iesus Christ Amen The Lords Prayer contained in a short forme ABba deare Father wée thy vnworthy children call vpon thee in the name of thy beloued Sonne Iesus Christ through thy holy Ghost vphold vs by thy holy Word giue vs honest and true Teachers and Preachers to distribute the same amongst vs Release vs quickly out of the Diuels kingdome bring vs to thy Kingdoom of Grace and to euerlasting life And giue vs thy holy Spirit that wee as the Angels of God may liue holily according to thy will and pleasure Nourish blesse and preserue our households Wiues Children and Seruants in this life couer our trespasses and of fences and giue vs a louing heart to forgiue all those that haue offended vs. Let vs not consent vnto sinne nor fall from thy onely Word of saluation but keepe vs from the euill Fiend and from all his deceites Thou art a most mightie King powerfull to rule thou canst and wilt grant vs all these things For which wee will giue thee thankes and praise thee for euer Amen A Prayer wherein the confession of our Christian Faith is simply contained wherewith a man may cal vpon God for st●engthening of his faith O Almightie and euerlasting God which art a Father of all grace and mercy and a God of all comfort for vs poore sinners which I and all Christians through reuealing of thy Word doe acknowledge and beleeue for certain Therefore doe I land honour and praise thee deare Father of heauen for such thy vnspeakable loue wherewith thou hast graciously had respect to vs thy enemies transgressors of thy commandements and damned creatures Namely in that thou hast not spared thy onely Sonne our Lord Iesus Christ who is equall with the God head and with the holy Ghost Especially that thou hast let him bee incarnate for our sinfull nature and doings with our actuall misdeeds and howsoeuer we haue thereby deserued and into manifold horrible reproches and finally to yeeld himselfe to the shamefull death of the Crosse And so of pure fatherly loue hast ordained him a Lambe to carry my sinnes and the sins of the whole world vpon the Crosse and to be a perfect Oblation therefore and dost proffer proclaime and promise the same throughout the whole world commandest also the same to be beléeued vpon paine of losing euerlasting saluation for thereby and by no other meanes must it onely bee applyed and impropriated to me and to all the faithfull and to bée our owne Therefore deare Father do I constantly beleeue according to the same reuealing of the holy Gospell all this same and doubt not thereof any thing at all as I thy Childe am bound and will doe not respecting my vnworthinesse In Christ thy onely Sonne are all my sins and all which beleeue and boldly trust vnto it sufficiently punished corrected spent and through his perfect obedient death of the Crosse all killed and taken away And that I am and also all Christiās through such faith planted in the Kingdome of thy deare Sonne as the holy Scripture saith by whom we haue redemption through his bloud namely remission of sinnes I beleeue also verily that in the death of Christ thy deare Sonne my death is ouercome that it shall neuer hurt mee nor consume mee into damnation as the Scripture saith Christ hath ●a●ed of death for all hath taken into his power and brought to lighten vntransitory life and being through his Gospell I beleeue also that the destroying of ●●ell which was done by thy deare Sonne is destroyed and torne asunder for mee and all faithfull that the same cannot consume or deuoure mee nor any of the right beleeuers as the Scripture saith ●●ll where is thy victory And in another place The gates of Hell shall not preuaile against the right Beleeuers And The Prince of this world is iudged I beleeue also that thy Commandements with all the power thereof which they haue haue no more right ouer mee although I cannot absolutely keepe them For the Lord Christ thy deare Sonne hath through his obedience perfectly kept the same for mee and taken from them the right and interest which they had in mee wherewith thou almighty Euerlasting and Merc●full God and Father art satisfied I beleeue also that the resurrection of Christ thy deare Sonne is a new life vnto mee and to all faithfull vnto euerlasting life Finally I beléeue also as the Scripture saith that hee is ascended into Heauen and hath taken rule on the right hand of his Father and answereth for me and al the faithfull that hencefoorth the Diuell and all his power is taken must bee subiect and lie at the feete of mee and all the Faithfull Therefore I pray thée O Lord GOD thou infinite Fountaine of all grace that through the power working of the Holy Ghost thou wilt giue mée such faith and acknowledging this day and lawaies to the end of my life And I pray thee also my Lord Iesus Christ which art true and perfect GOD with the Father and the Holy Ghost forasmuch as thou hast put thy selfe vnder the tyranny of the Law which by reason of sinne it had towardes mee and all mankind and hast taken on thée my sinne Death Hell and damnation which I by all reason right and rigour thereof should haue borne that thou wilt help to still and pacifie these great misdeedes betwéene GOD our heauenly Father and mee especially in my conscience which continually disquieteth mee through the power

of his meer mercy When thy conscience doth lay before thée thy manifould sins and sendeth thée to good works then remember that Christ hath paid for thy sins vpon the Crosse Let not vnprofitable thoughts trouble thee as If God would lengthen thy life thou wouldst think to become more holy and more apt to die for although thou mightst liue yet which is vnpossible an hundred yéers thou canst deserue nothing with thy holinesse before God Although all creatures were against thée yea although God himselfe should lay before thée his fearfull indignation and terrible indgement and shew himself none otherwise than as though he were thine enemy although thou shouldst see nothing but diuels about thee yet care not for it whatsoeuer thou feelest shut the eyes of thy minde take hold of faith and trust in the Gospell There is no Diuell so strong that is able to ouerthrowe it Trust to God and feare not Cast all thy care on the Lord and hee will prouide and preserue thee Hitherto thou hast béen as dead but now shalt thou first begin to liue for death is a do●● of life a beginning of resurrection and a departing from sin and pain Forsake the world and receiue death which is seat vnto thee by the grace of God willingly for it is thy owne and must also serue thee for thy wealth This smart and paine is ordained for thee of God and hee doth not chasten thee because he hateth thée but that hee may preserue and receiue thée as his sonne Therefore faint not séeing thou art chastened of the Lord. No maner of chastising for the present time seems to bée ioyous but grieuous neuerthelesse afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousnes vnto them which are therein exercised The afflictions of this life are not worthy of the glory which shall bee shewed vpon vs. Tribulation anguish persecution hunger nakednesse perill sword death life Angels rule power things present nor things to come height lownesse neither any other creature shall be able to separate vs from the loue of God If thou didst truly remember and consider the vnfaithfulnesse falshood blasphemy and the Antichristian conuersation and life of this world truely thou wouldst not couet to liue any longer A thousand liues if it were possible oughtst thou to lose onely because thou hast heard and tasted the gospell namely that thou hast obtained redemption and forgiuenesse of sinnes through the bloud of Christ and not through thine owne merits Thou hast prayed daily that it would please GOD to take thee out of this euill world into his Kingdom and that his will might be done Wherefore séeing hée will now through his grace bring thee into his Kingdome thou oughtst as his son willingly and gladly to obey and to reioice with all thy heart that thou out of the diuels Kingdom out of this vallie of misery and out of this wretched life commest to thy Father and all his Elect in euerlasting Paradise The Heathen which notwithstanding were without hope did for the loue of the life to come destroy themselues and shouldst thou béeing a Christian to whom so much comfort hope and euerlasting life is promised despaire in death and desire not to die with all thy heart The Iewes die merrily which neuerthelesse haue crucified Christ and are damned for euer and shouldest not thou being a Christian man be more earnest and bolder to die to whom such ioy is promised as the eie hath not séen the eare hath not heard neither hath entred into the hart of man and wouldest thou now giue place to the miscreant and cursed Heathen and Iewes in bodily dying The seruant is not aboue his Lord nor yet the Disciple aboue his Master Christ thy Master and Lord suffered and died for thée thou must also suffer and die All they which are baptized to die are baptized thou art baptized therfore art thou also baptized to dy For Gods sake art thou killed and art counted as a shéep appointed to bee slame What were a slaughter shéep if it were not slaine or what were a Christian man if he should not be assaulted suffer and die Faint not in this affliction to which thou knowest thy self to be constituted Now will Christ thy Sauiour and Redéemer prooue whether thou wilt stand by him or no whether thou wilt for his sake valiantly abide death and bee like vnto the shape of his passion or not Therefore suffer now as a good warrior of Iesus Christ and think not to be crowned vnlesse thou fight valiantly for if thou die with Christ thou shalt also liue with him thou shalt also triumph with him Unfaithfull and without honour is hee counted before the world that giueth-ouer his holde in his dominions shouldst thou not bee without honour if in the necessity of death thou shouldest shrink from Christ thy Sauiour Take vp thy Crosse and death and follow him Knowest thou not with what great ioy and desire all the Apostles and seruants of Christ haue shed their bloud for Christs sake and haue gon euen to meet death For Christs sake hast thou not yet suffred any speciall thing Therefore giue thy self willingly and ioyfully vnto death as a shéep for Christs sake God is by thée in thy trouble he will pluck thée out of it and bring thée to honor and he is at thy right hand that he may help thée Put now thy trust in God and thou shalt be holpen Bee of good comfort and bestowe thy stinking carcase which is but wormes-meat vpon Christ thy Redeemer and Sauiour and trust onely to him and his holy Gospell which is the power of GOD to saluation to all that beleeue Abide the Lord and let thy heart take sure hold Commit thy cause vnto the Lord and trust in him hée shall order it well enough Be sober and watch for thine aduersary the diuell as a roaring lyon will go about thée séeking how he may denoure thée whom resist stedfast in the faith Ye wrestle not against flesh and bloud but against rule against power and against worldly Rulers of the darknesse of this world against the spirits of wickednes yea against sinne death hell and the diuell For this cause behaue your self as a Christian champion and take vnto you the armour of God that ye may bee able to resist in the euill day and to stand perfect in all things Stand therefore and your loynes girt about with verity hauing on them a brest-plate of righteousnes and shod with shooes prepared by the Gospell of peace Aboue all take vnto you the shield of faith wherewith yee may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked And take the helmet of saluation and the swo●d of the Spirit which is the word of GOD.
