FOrasmuch as it hath been the late Resolves of those that call themselves The Commons Assembled in Parliament to forbid Preaching and Praying in that Vniform-way formerly agreed upon and enjoyned by Our royal Father and Free Parliaments Therefore We have thought good to Commend unto all Our Loving Subjects a short and easie Method of Prayer that by joyntly seeking unto God he may as from the Ninivites turn away his fierce wrath from Vs miserable Creatures that so We may receive forgiveness of al Our manifold witkedness wherewith We have justly provoked his vengeance to destroy Vs Therefore as We have humbled Our Self before him by Fasting and Prayer so We desire all Our Loving Subjects to do the like that We being delivered from the destruction of Our Enemies may again be restored and brought to all good temprature of Government Love Vnity Charity and all other Blessings Which is the Only desire of Your Afflicted Soveraign Charles Rex From our Court in Jersy Septemb. 14. 1649. A Form of PRAYER A Prayer for all oppressed People ALmighty and everlasting God We acknowledge and confess from the bottom of our hearts That we are justly plagued for our manifold sins and infirmities We beseech thee for the merits of thy Son to looke upon our manifold Miseries with the eye of thy Mercy and of thine infinit goodness vouchsafe to limit out some portion of our Deliverance unto us as may seem most conducing to the Glory of thee and thy Son Jesus Christ let not the children of iniquity O Lord any longer triumph over us let our thee let the bloud of Christ shed in his members appease thy justly incensed anger against us for our sins O Lord behold how they have not only destroyed their King who was the lively Image of thy Sacred Majesty on Earth but yet rest so unreasonable and unsatisfied that they content not themselves with the destruction of him and his loyal Subjects but seek the destruction of his whole Posterity their tongues O Lord are far sharper then their Swords they delight in nothing more then to slander the footsteps of thine Anointed in the place where they should proclaim Peace and Salvation they have Trumpeted forth Rebellion Schisme and War and the way of Peace they have not known as the blind Jews they have denyed the holy One and the Just and desired a Murderer and a Rober to be granted unto them holding it liberty to be led Captive by their own sin rather chusing to live in perpetual bondage under the Iron-yoak of a wicked perverse and ungodly generation of men then under the peaceable Government of a most gracious King forgive we beseech thee the crying sins of this Nation the chief of which are Perjury Murder Sacriledge and contempt of thy holy Word and Commandements O Lord we acknowledge there is an account due for every idle word at thy Tribunal then how much more for the breach of so many Oaths Covenants and Solemn Declarations pronounced with lifted up hands before thee thou haste O God commanded us to fear thee and honor thy Vicegerent but we quite contrary have despised thee and dishonor'd nay Murdered him thou commandest us to honor Thou commandest us to love one another even as thy Son loved us but instead of loving we have hated nay killed and robbed one another thou commandest us to eate the sweat of our own brows but we are contented with nothing more then to eat the sweat of others nay make it our work and sweat in defrauding our Neighbors we have neglected those things that were necessary for our eternal Salvation and cleaved to the Momentary things of this World we have not frequented thy house and now a Rebellious House of Robbers and Theeves prey upon us we were become a stiff-necked and rebellious Nation and now thou hast put an iron yoak about our necks and made us slaves to slaves themselves the meanest and most contemptible of the People whose Designs are Treasonable whose Religion is Hypocrisie whose Practice is Bloudy whose Power is Usurpation whose Ambition is Power who by irreligious Policy seek alwayes to prevent us from returning to our former Allegiance to our lawful King as thou hast commanded Lord make them all as Athaliah or as Rebellious Absalom and deliver us thy people that put our only trust in thee raise up we beseech thee a Moses to thy People and a Jehojadah to their King that we being delivered from these Usurpers may serve thee with fear and reverence all our dayes Amen A Prayer in the time of Danger O Lord ever merciful and pittiful to those that truly repent and cry unto thee in their Afflictions though our sins are many and grievous that we may still rather expect thy further anger then any Deliverance to free us thy poor Servants from so many heavy Plagues and Burdens that are laid upon us by our fellow Subjects who now Usurpe Rule and Tyrannize over us O Lord since thy Mercies are over all thy Works and that thou never failest to Relieve all those who with humble hearts and unfained Affections come unto thee by Repentance We beseech thee for the Merits of thy only Son that suffered death for us to protect us from the malice of all our cruel Enemies since they have taken our Means Lord let not our Lives be the objects of their hatred Call in we beseech thee the Heir of our Vineyard that we may weed out those Brambls that with their sharp fruitless thornes catch us as in a trap and by their tyranny and injustice hold us till they have destroyed us We beseech thee since they will not frame their Will to thy Word according to thy Word let them perish let them be as Korah Dathan and Abiram sawllowed up by the Earth or meanest of the People although they have exalted themselves to heaven by their Prosperity in wickedness accounting their success therein thy Work yet make them know that they have been but all this time digging their own graves and earning the wages of death nay double damnation Lord we beseech thee pull off this Mask of Religion from the face of Rebellion that thy people may be no longer deceived but plainly see their Hypocrisie and Restore unto us Justice Piety and Truth that so we may again be made capable of Peace Prosperity and all other Blessings O deliver thy Servants from the poyson under their tongues from the snares of their lipps and from the fire and swords of their words that under Colour of
