Mercifull and Gratious and abundant in goodnesse and truth who dost according to thy will in the Armies of Heaven rulest over all the Kingdoms of the Earth in whose hand is Power and Might and none is able to withstand thy arme we most vile sinners approach before thy Throne of grace bewayling those manifold transgressions that have provoked thy wrath and indignation against us We know ô Lord that affliction cometh not forth of the dust neither doth trouble spring out of the ground but it is thou that with rebukes dost chasten man for sinne We confesse that we were a wealthy and a carelesse Nation and our land was as the garden of Eden our deliverances were great and thy blessings were multiplied we dwelt alone without feare of evill and were become the envy of those that were round about us Peace was within our walles and plenteousnesse within our Pallaces But when we had eaten and were full and had waxen fat we kicked against thee our Maker who hadst done so great things for us our heart was lifted up forgot thee our God and lightly esteemed the rock of our salvation We loathed the Manna that raigned down upon us our Peace became a wearinesse and we snuffed at our happinesse we murmured against Moses in our Tents and made light of thy Anoynted whom thou hadst set over us Therefore hast thou recompenced our waies upon our own heads and suffered our destruction to proceed from our selves our wickednesse doth correct us our backsliding doth reprove us and our iniquity is become our ruine Thou hast broken upon us with a grievous breach thy anger hath divided us and thy fury hath dashed us one against another Thou hast mingled a spirit of perversenesse in the midst of us and made us a Nation voyd of Counsell and understanding in stead of Peace thou hast sent bitternesse and hast sent a fire into our bowels and it is kindled round about us And now ô Lord behold the sword is drunk with our blood and we are numbred to the slaughter the high wayes are unoccupied and the Travailers goe through by-paths our fields are divided our inheritance is for a spoile and our substance to the robbers We are become a reproach to the foolish People and Servants bear rule over us The mean Man is risen against the Honourable and the fire out of the Bramble devoureth the lofty Cedars our Women are cast out of their pleasant places and the roab is pulled off from the aged there is no respect had to the Priests nor favour to the Elders Thy Sanctuaries even the excellency of thy strength are prophaned and they have defiled the places where thine honour dwelleth and yet still the seat of wickednesse frameth mischiefe by a Law and it turneth judgement backward and biddeth justice stand a farre off and deviseth deceitfull matters against those that are quiet in the Land Nay there is a lying Spirit gone out into the mouth of the Prophets they prophecy falsely and the People delight to have it so and they strengthen the hands of evill doers that they turne not back from their wickednesse Thus are we covered with a cloud in thine anger and our beauty is cast down to the ground But ô Lord shall thine indignation be powred out for ever shall thy jealousy burne like fire O passe by the transgressions of the remnant of thine Heritage and take away the rebuke of thy People O remove from us reproach and contempt and strengthen the spoyled against the destroyers Bow down thine eare and consider the oppression of the poore the sighing of the needy the groaning of the Prisoners that are fast bound in misery and iron Lift up thy selfe because of the rage of thine Adversaries consider the desolation they have made in thy Courts and all that the enemy hath done wickedly in thy Sanctuary And yet still they are compassed with pride and cloath themselves with violence as with a garment How long ô Lord shall they boast themselves in mischiefe how long shall they decree unrighteous decrees and write grievousnesse which they have prescribed O make not a full end with us but correct us in mercy though thou leave us not altogether unpunished Help us ô Lord our God for we rest on thee under the shadow of thy wings shall be our refuge untill this Tyranny be over past Disappoynt therefore the devices of the crafty let not the Rebellious exalt themselves any more and suffer not the Tabernacles of the Robbers to prosper And as thou hast begunst to shew thy Servants thy greatnesse and thy mighty hand so continue thy marvailous loving kindnesse to those who put their trust in thee The Battaile is thine ô Lord thou hast preserved us from the Arme of flesh yea it is thou that hast wrought all our works in us even when there was no might against that great Company that came against us When we were few in number and there was none to help us then thine own Arme brought salvation and thy righteousnesse sustained us O perfect therefore thy handy worke Give salvation to Our King and deliver CHARLES thy servant from the perill of the Sword bind up His soule in the bundle of life gird Him with strength to the Battaile contend with those who contend with Him subdue thou the People under Him and suffer no weapon formed against him to prosper O deliver Him at length from the strivings of the People and lift up His head above His Enemies round about Him give Him the shield of thy salvation and let thy gentlenesse make him great put a stop at last to the madnesse of the People say to the destroying sword it is now enough send us a seasonable and blessed calme visit us with the joy of thy Countenance make us glad according to the daies wherein thou hast afflicted us O restore to us our solemne assemblies bring us back into thy Courts to praise thee and let us once more worship thee in the beauty of thy holinesse Save us ô Lord from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us That so we may serve thee without feare living a quiet and a peaceable life in all Godlinesse and honesty looking for the blessed appearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ To whom with thee and the Holy Spirit be all Honour and Praise world without end AMEN FINIS
