LOrd thou art become gratious vnto thy Land thou hast turned away the afflictions of thy seruants Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure and turned thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignation Psal 94. For if thou Lord hadst not helped vs it had not failed but our soules had bene put to silence But when we said our feete haue slipped thy mercie O Lord helped vs vp In the multitude of the sorrowes that we had in our hearts thy comforts haue refreshed our soules Psal 62.63 Our soules waited still vpon the Lord our soules hanged vpon his helpe our hope was alwayes in him In the Lords word did we reioyce in Gods word did we comfort our selues Psal 50. For the Lord said Call vpon mee in the time of trouble and I wil heare thee and thou shalt praise me Psal 40.69 So when wee were poore needy sickly and in heauinesse the Lord cared for vs hee was our helpe and our Sauiour according to his word Psal 27. In our aduersitie and distresse hee hath lift vp our heads and saued vs from vtter destruction Psal 33.91 Hee hath deliuered our soules from death hee hath fedde vs in the time of dearth hee hath saued vs from the noysome Pestilence Psal 27.

Like as a father pitieth his owne children euen so is the Lord mercifull vnto them that feare him Psal 71. Therefore will we praise thee and thy mercies O God vnto thee will wee sing O thou Holy one of Israel Psal 98. Wee will sing a New song vnto thee O God we will praise the Lord with Psalmes of Thankesgiuing Psal 47. O sing praises sing praises vnto our God O sing praises sing praises vnto our King For God is the King of the earth sing praises with vnderstanding Psal 145.

O Almightie God which art the Resurrection of the dead and the Life of them which liue who in thy displeasure cariest vs downe in a moment to the gates of death and in thy mercie recallest our Soules backe to dwell in the land of the liuing Wee giue thee humble thankes that it hath pleased thee to restore vs when wee were almost past hope to strengthen vs in the extremitie of our weakenesse to deliuer vs thy people of this Citie from the Contagion when in the eye of mans reason it was most likely to haue encreased This we acknowledge to be thy doing O Lord and it is wonderful in our eyes which haue seene these thy great mercies surpassing the strength of our hope and wee beseech thee to continue thy gracious goodnesse towards vs still whereby all the world may see and knowe that thou art our mercifull Father and wonderfull Deliuerer to the glory of thy holy Name and to the comfort of vs thy children through Iesus Christ our Lord. O Heauenly Father which art the Fountaine of Life and the GOD of our health in whome alone wee liue and mooue and haue our being we beseech thee that as thou hast beene gracious vnto this Citie and the parts about it in remoouing from hence that fearefull Plague which for our sins thou haddest most iustly sent among vs So it would please thee to heare these our intercessions for our brethren which in other places of this Realme do yet grone vnder thy punishing hand O Lord be gracious also vnto them and command thine Angel to sheath his Sword that a remnant may be saued So shall wee all ioyntly magnifie thy Mercies and compasse about thine Altars with songs of deliuerance to our vnspeakeable comfort and to thy euerlasting Glory through Iesus Christ our Lord.
