GOds Mercy is Gods meer Good-will and ready affection to forgive a penitent sinner notwithstanding all his sinnes and ill deserts and is nothing else but his Essence which is One and by which he is wise just and merciful altogether He then that will be a searcher of his Mercy shall be overwhelmed with his Glory Now all his Mercy proceedeth from his free love towards us so the duty of people towards their Pastors is to subject themselves to them to pray for them to obey them and to stand by and for them in times of danger for as Collonel Okey declared a little before he came out of the Tower That Bread and Cheese with the Gospel was good cheer so he likewise desired That all people might conform themselves to Magistrates and Ministry and that the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ might have a free course in these Nations and be glorified by the lives of all true Subjects And that since it hath pleased the Lord through a great hand of providence miraculously to restore and set upon the Throne the person of King CHARLES His sole desire was that as His Majesty rules from God so he might rule for God and hereafter gloriously to Reign for ever desiring that the Nations might make a right improvement of the Mercy so greatly desired and walk in all holiness answerable thereunto Declaring further that he humbly craved this as the boon of a dying man that as they had received a mercy so exceeding great so they would walk worthy of it in a fruitful improvement earnestly craving that all Gentlemen and others would pray more and swear less And as England hath had more honour then any other Nation so he desired that Peace and Plenty might abound and that every man might study in his … ce To Fear God and Honour the King and to walk in some measure answerable to those mercies they now enjoy and worthy of the Gospel that Righteousness and Peace might flourish in the middest of them He further declared That he had nothing to his Brethren both of the publike and private Congrega●io●● but that they would wait in their places and see the salvation of God rather them deliver themselves by any indirect means And that his hearty desire was that Justice and Judgment might run through the streets with a mighty stream And that God would scatter them that delight in War Thus having given you a brief Abstract of his Declaration it is very suitable to remark his most Christian-like Prayer at the place of Execution which was as followeth Collonel OKEYS Prayer MOst Holy Glorious and Eternal Lord God who art the blessed Maker of all things who art from everlasting to everlasting blessed for evermore Thou art worthy to be praised from the rising of the Sun to the going down thereof Thou art cloathed with Honour and Majesty as with a Garment Thou art the Fountain of all good the W●ll-spring of Life and Happiness We bless thy Name that thou hast been pleased ●o ●●●e us this opportunity once more to poyr out our souls before thee before we go hence and be no more 〈◊〉 For Chr●st his sake thou that 〈◊〉 put a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 our ●●nd● give us hearts to 〈…〉 us to powr out our souls 〈…〉 … nne Draw ●●gh to us that we m … 〈…〉 … e.
