PRAYERS for Those who suffer for Righteousness I. A Penitential Prayer under Persecutions as they are Chastisements for our former Offences 1. O Almighty Lord Who art wont to shew both thy Power and Mercy in correcting Sinners when the cry of sins grows great

any cruel and unjust usage for thy sake to accuse thy Providence or to revile my Persecutors Let me not shew uneasiness under my sufferings but willingly and contentedly bear them yea rejoyce in the same and thankfully praise thee that thou countest me worthy to suffer for thy Name Keep me from growing weary of bearing thy Cross or from fainting under it Tho' thou tarryest enable me to wait for thee Oh! that I may persevere in waiting and hold on to the end and never let go my patience when my Persecutors have left me nothing else or cast away my confidence in thee Oh! that I may inwardly triumph in the Righteousness of my Cause when I am trodden down by the violence of the Oppressors That I may be comforted to think that I have still the more of thy Love as I bear the more of their Malice Oh! that I may be joyful in hope as well as patient in tribulation and count it an extraordinary favour to me that I have been called out to lose any thing for thee to testifie my love unto thy Laws and to dispose me for thy Gracious Acceptance through the Merits and Mediation of my dearest Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen 2. In not envying the success of the wicked in compassing unrighteous Devices O! Lord who for wiseends art oft-times pleased to permit a Righteous Cause to be worsted and the devisers of unrighteousness to prevail against it Suffer us not to fret or torment our selves when we see such wicked men prosperous and triumph for bringing their unrighteous devices to pass Let not that tempt us O! God to envy sinners much less to think favourably yea or even doubtfully of their wicked Violence Never give us up to measure the Justice or Injustice of Undertakings by success and to miscall apparently wicked things naming Evil Good and Wrong Right only because we see it prosperous Let us not fall to take part with the Injury only because of its seeming prosperity or to think that God has forsaken what is right because he permits it to be oppressed for a while or when we see it once down to despair of his ever raising it up again Thy Judgments O! most Mighty Lord are unsearchable and a great deep teach us with all humility to reverence them not by bold expositions especially in favour of apparently unrighteous things to abuse the same They surprize us with doing right when all outward hopes and appearances thereof are gone Help us therefore when things are at the worst still to have hope and faith in thee to raise them up again They open a way and make a light of deliverance to break forth at thine own time Give us patience in expectation till that time come The Unrighteous as Pharas was are more in the way of thy mercy when thou keepest thy plagues upon them to soften their hearts than when thou takest them off Oh! let us not envy them for that ease which hardens sinners and is their greatest unhappiness They are kept up with successes for full tryal of thy servants patience and if they will not repent thereof to fill up the measure of their own wickedness Let us therefore learn therein Gracious Lord to adore thy forbearance and to imitate the same not to repine at it And to finish the work of our own patience that patience may have its perfect work in us And however it passes here on earth O! God yet we are assured that at the Great Day the Judge of all the World will do exact Justice The wicked shall then be eternally punished for all their prosperous wickedness And the Just shall be everlastingly recompensed for all the sufferings which they have endured and for all the losses which they have sustained in adhering to the ways of Righteousness Oh! therefore blessed Lord that we may ever detest all wickedness carefully keep off from it even when here we see it most prosperous And steadfastly reverence the ways of Duty and Righteousness and stick to them even when we see them labouring under the Cross and born down with cruel Oppressions Oh! that we may see and believe assuredly that although we do not live to see the prosperity of the ungodly turned into punishments and the sufferings of thy Saints exchanged for Crowns and Glories in this world yet we shall certainly see the same fulfilled in both to the uttermost in another world Where Lord grant that I may have my Place of Ease whatever Troubles I meet with here for my Dear Saviour Jesus Christ's sake Amen 7. For Prayers and unwearyed Devotion under Persecutions O! Holy Father give me Grace to look up to thee in all my distresses and to make holy fervent Prayers both my most bounden service and my most sure support under all these Persecutions Oh! that the growth of my sufferings may continually heighten and increase my Devotions That I may be instant in Prayers and watch thereunto with all perseverance And the more straitness and scarcity I find at any time of publick opportunities make me so much the more diligent and constant earnest and affectionate in my private devotions Let not the Malice of mine Oppressors be able to estrange my soul from thee or make me weary of conversing with the Almighty Let devotion be the life and stay of my Spirit and let me never forget that my chief remedies against their Violence are Prayers and Tears When they drive me from all confidence in my self teach me to run for sanctuary and to seek help from thee Even from thee O! my God who with a Fathers pity and tenderness beholdest what we suffer for thy sake and wilt support us under the same who seest our wrongs and wilt do us right in thy due time And who bottlest up all our Tears and wilt remember them with surpassing and eternal Mercies in the day of Recompences for our Dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's sake Amen 8. A Prayer for diligent Attendance on Publick Assemblies ANd O! Gracious Lord in these Tryals give me Grace diligently to attend upon the Publick Ministrations and to make one in offering up thy pure Worship in the Communion and Assemblies of the Saints Make me fully sensible that when they most violently oppress us we have most need to fly to thee with joynt accord to help and defend us And that when they seek most to extirpate thy pure Worship it lyes upon us to meet together to pay the same and bear it up Oh! that their Cruelty against it may enkindle in us a godly Zeal for it That we may hold on our Profession without wavering and resolutely stick to thine Holy Assemblies without which we can not pretend to stand up for thy Cause And Oh! that no difficulties or hazardousness of these Assemblies may make us indifferent about thy service and that none among us may lay hold thereof as an excuse for Irreligion or
