Church of Scotland l. 3. f. 251. 252. 253. I read that on a publike Day of Thanksgiving at S. Giles Church in Edenborough for this great Deliverance and settlement they received by the English at which the whole Nobility and greatest part of the Congregation of Scotland assembled after the Sermon made for the purpose publike thanks were given unto God for this mercifull Deliverance concluding in forme as followeth the same in substance but a little different in words from that forementioned recorded in their Liturgy But seeing that thou hast mercifully heard us and hast caused thy Virtue to triumph in us so we crave of thee continuance to the end that thy godly Name may be glorified in us thy creatures And seeing that nothing is more odious in thy presence O Lord then is Ingratitude and violation of an Oath and Covenant made in thy Name And seeing thou hast made our Confederates of England the * Instrument by whom we are now set at this liberty and to whom in thy Name we have promised mutuall faith again Let us never fall to that Unkindnesse O Lord that either we declare our selves unthankfull unto them or prophaners of thy holy Name Confound thou the Counsell of those that go about to break that most godly League contracted in thy Name and retain thou us so firmly together by the power of thy holy Spirit that Sathan have never power to set us again at variance not discord Give us thy grace to live in that Christian charity which thy Son our Lord Jesus hath so earnestly commended to all the members of his body that other Nations provoked by our example may set aside all ungodly War Contention and strife and study to live in tranquility and peace as it becommeth the Sheep of thy Pasture and the people that dayly look for our finall deliverance by the comming again of our Lord Jesus To whom with thee and the holy Spirit be all honour glory and praise now and ever Amen A prayer very fit to be publikely used now The Contract made at Barwick with the Kingdome of England by our Brethren of Scotland dated the 10 of May 1560. whereupon we were induced to send them this Brotherly Assistance was thus Prefaced by themselves Recorded in the self-same History p. 233.
