preserue me from trouble thou shalte compasse me about with songes of deliuerance I will enforme thee teach thee in the way wherein thou shaltgo and I wil guide thee with mine eye Be ye not lyke to

embraceth hym on euery syde Be glad O ye righteous reioyce in the Lord be ioyful all ye that are true of harte ¶ A prayer taken out of the XXXII Psalme WE are taught by thee O our most good and mighty God that here in standeth the true felicitie of those that be thyne that their sinnes be forgeuen couered and not layd to their charge in thy iudgement Of the obtaining whereof if euer there were neede now it appeareth that we haue greatest neede of it when the calamities of this present time do set our sinnes before our eyes For we feele that thy hand waxeth heauy vppon thy church wherefore we haue thought it best for vs not to cloke our synnes but to confesse them openly before thee and we distrust not that thou of thy great goodnes wilt forth with pardon forgeue vs our offences Wherfore being thine owne we beseche thee at this tyme when we doubte not that thou wilte be founde that thou wilt not suffer thy people to be ouerwhelmed of the vngodly which now abounde like vnto ouerflowing waters Be thou to vs a place of succour refuge in these afflictions Do thou instruct and teach vs the wayes of saluation and whatsoeuer portion of brutish and vntamed lust remaineth in vs do thou with the bitte and bridle of thy spirite so subdue and restraine that we be not for it throwne hedlong into euerlasting destruction And at length O Lord let the sorrowes and miseries be poured out vpon the enemies of thy glory but let those that trust in thee be fenced and defended with thy singuler bountifulnes that they which be zelous louers of thy name and vpright in harte may reioyce in thee and triumphe with perfect gladnes through Iesus Christ our Lord. ⧠An other out of the same Psalme THey are vndoubtedly blessed O almighty GOD to whom of thy mercy thou hast vouchsaued to pardon their sinnes and not to impute to them but to couer and forgeue all the wickednes and misdoing what so euer it be that hath heretofore defiled them We do most certainly know that it is impossible for vs to obteine so great a benefite vnlesse we do first onely see our owne euils and bewray them to thee and poure forth into thy bosome what so euer we haue sinnefully wickedly and shamefully committed against thy law Wherefore we confesse to thee O our heauenly father that our vnrighteousnes is most haynous and that our consciences are most miserably ouerburdened with the weight of our wickednes Thou therefore with thy mercy do now relieue vs and whatsoeuer misdoyng and iniquitie remaineth in vs we besech thee that thou wilt louingly and mercifully wipe it away from vs. Deliuer vs from the miseries hangyng ouer vs instruct vs with true vnderstanding and with thy prudent care so gouerne vs that we do not with euill affections runne out of kinde and become as most
