Father Which art in Heauen and because in Heauen therefore Almightie and Al-sufficient for thy children Beeing a Father thou art willing and being in Heauen thou art able to effect whatsoeuer thou willest and thou willest onely that which shal be good for thy children This we belieue Lord helpe our vnbeliefe And as thou specially declarest thy glory in the Heauens for otherwise thy Essence Beeing is beyond all place because there are the Spirits Angelicall who are more capable of thy glorie so vouchsafe ô heauenly Father for the sake of thy Sonne through whom thou art become our Father to inrich our harts nowe and for euer with diuine thoughtes beseeming the presenting our selues before such a heauenly Father That so by thy grace we may pray in Fayth euen in that Fayth which worketh by Loue the bond of Peace the fulfilling of thy Law the externall badge of thy Sonnes disciples Heauenly Father thy name in proprietie is thine owne selfe and so thou art IEHOVAH the beeing of all beeings deryuing thine owne beeing from none in which respect it is easier to say what thou art not then what thou art for being Infinite thou so canst not in proprietie fall within the compasse of Definition But as thou first assumedst the name Creator in respect of the Creature so therewithall thou after a sort didst make thy selfe Comprehensible who otherwise art Incomprehensible which thou secretly taughtest Moses when for that he was in conceipt finite thou declardst thy self vnto him by thy Back-parts for none can behold thy Face and liue And herevpon it is that thou declarest thy selfe first in the common Creature for the Heauens declare thy glorie the Firmament shewes thy handie worke and the visible creature makes seene thy inuisibles as thine eternall power and Godhead Secondly thou doost make thy selfe knowen by thy Written Worde and Sacramentes In thy Word declaring thy selfe by that name of names Father of our Lord Christ Iesus sealing vp the same in the blessed Sacraments of Baptisme and our Lordes Supper Be it thy name essentiall or relatiue declaring thy Beeing or the Diuine properties in thy Beeing vouchsafe the Grace vnto vs of hallowing the same for though earthly Powers wincke at it thou wilt not holde him guiltlesse that takes thy name in vaine We were first Created into thy name and secondly haue been Baptised into the same But we lost thy Image in the first and haue recouered in the second by thy Grace a new stampe thereof Heauenly Father infuse thy sanctifying grace into the hartes of all thy Children that of the abundance of such a sanctifyed hart the mouth may speake holyly to the prayse of thy name and the edification of many And so shall the pure sacrifice of Prayer and Prayse be offred vp vnto thee in all places That thy Name may be so hallowed Let Thy Kingdome come Thy Kingdome is of another nature then the worlds Kingdomes be They be as Nebuchadnetsars Image made of Gold Siluer Brasse Iron and Clay all which the Corner-stone of our Saluation Christ Iesus dasheth to powder melting before his Kingdome as Waxe before the Sunne Thy Kingdome is Spirituall and specially inward and therefore to the world inuisible This Kingdome of thine thou dost stablish in the Body of thy Church thy Holy Spirit taking vp the Conscience for his Throne there gouerning the Hart of Man by the Scepter of thy Worde Thence thou neuer departest making whatsoeuer is at enmitie with thee thy footestoole casting downe the haughtie imaginations of men and whatsoeuer is within exalted against thee Lord let this Kingdome come this Kingdome of Light for chasing away the powre of darknesse this Kingdome of Grace for dryuing euery vile Canaanite foorth of our Land Let the strong man Sinne be taken and bounde by Him that is stronger and so take vs vp wholly for thine owne Glorie Vnto which good purpose vouchsafe ô heauenly Father to blesse thine owne Ordinaunces Ciuill and Ecclesiasticall The Ciuill thou hast giuen specially for keeping the Body and Flesh of Man-kinde in due order The Ecclesiasticke specially for subduing the Soule and Spirit In the first thou hast these fourtie foure yeeres vpward ●endred our good in the happie and blessed regiment of our dread Soueraigne Elizabeth deputed ouer vs in all causes Ciuill and Ecclesiasticall our supreame Gouernesse In the second thou hast for all the time of her gracious regiment sought our saluation comming vnto vs early and late by the ministrie of thy Prophets For all which thy name be euer blessed Heauenly Father vouchsafe accordingly to continue the same mercie by Ciuill Ecclesiasticke gouernment not only to vs but also to our posteritie Dash the Image of Romes Nebuchadnetsar a peeces Let his vnion with Spayne prooue but as a mixture of Iron and Clay and his mixt Idolatrous gouernment let it quickly be consumed Thou who in thy Worde hast promised to stirre vp all these Kings against that Bomish Harlot who first subiected Crowne and dignitie therto Lord hasten the perfecting of that promise Through thy blessing it hath come so to passe with vs and some other our neighbours Lord hasten the conuersion of other Kinges and namely of the King of Spaine that with a right royall resolution they may arise and like true Christian Princes labour to consume that harlotry Synagogue which before hath consumed them and their Kingdomes Destroy the Turkish tyrannie Let the Kingdome of thy Sonne in his Dominious more and more florish Remoue the ceremoniall Vayle of Moses from before the eyes of thy naturall Israel Gather into subiection all of Iewes and Gentiles that appartaine vnto thy Kingdome That so thy Sonne Christ Iesus may come vnto Iudgment he may so deliuer the Kingdome into thine handes and so GOD may be all in all In the meane

once retayning still their first state And wee besides our naturall creation haue put thee to a second busines to the re-creating of vs againe by thy Spirit and Worde by so much the more we owe vnto thee a greater obedience Giue vs the grace therefore togither with the knowledge of thy Wil to be Doers thereof that others so seeing our good workes they may thereby take occasion to glorifie thee our Father which art in heauen But when by thy Grace we shal haue done any part of thy Will let vs not be destitute of that Grace which is declared in thy Angels by couering their Face and Feete Let vs be humble in our owne eyes acknowledging our insufficiencie for contemplating thy glory the insufficiencie of our affections for doing thy Will Let vs neuer be left to our selues that so we shold forget the darknes of our Senses the lamenes of our Affections With which
