save us from these sad effects by a powerfull removall of the Cause or else we certainly perish To this end O Lord we resigne our selves up to thy divine Methods be they the sharpest that thou seest necessary to dispense to us we desire to embrace them cheerfully and not to interpose any thought of ours in contradiction to thy most safe most medicinable prescriptions It is the Lord let him do what seemeth him good not ours but thy sacred will be done Be it unto us according to thy good pleasure In the mean time Lord permit us to intercede for others that are not worthy to pray for our selves O let the sorrowfull sighing of the poore of the oppressed and there is no Comforter let the black gloomy Calamities that are fallen upon him that is more worth then ten thousand of us come before thee Let thy Protection still continue unto him if it be thy sacred Will Thy Host of guardian Angels that once appeared in the Mount the Horses and Charriots round about Elisha environ and surround that sacred Head and by thine own wayes and means and in thine own season restore him with out the effusion of any more blood to his Fathers Crown Thron And Lord that it might yet be an acceptable time a season wherein thou mightest be accessible to our Prayers which we offer up in great Humility for thy poore wasted disconsolate Church amongst us That thou wouldest repair her breaches restore her dayes as of old that thou wouldest arise and have mercy upon Sion and Compassionate to see her in the Dust Lord where is thy Pitty And the sounding of the Bowels thy zeale to the place where thy rest dwelleth Will the Lord absent himself for ever And will he be no more entreated Are his mercies clean gone for ever and his promises come utterly to an end for evermore Lord remember thy old loving kindnesses which thou swarest unto David in thy truth Arise O Lord and come into thy Rest thou and the Ark of thy strength But if these Calamities and Desolations must still go on and advance to the height of an irremediable ruine yet O Lord intermix thy sweet and Comfortable Allays with this bitter Cup Take us into thine immediate hand of Protection and Guidance sanctifie all thy methods unto us and by the same omnipotent work whereby thou bringest a most glorious light out of the blackest darknesse be pleased to produce all thy Divinest good things out of the saddest evils and if it may yet be thy blessed will to work the same work by the return of thy Mercies which the continuance of thy punishments is wont to be assigned for And Lord receive us all under the safe guard of thy Divine Presence the pillar of fire and Cloud to cover and direct us That in every turn of thy hand we may see and admire thy glorious and gracious Disposals and by the happy experience that even this also is to us for good we may be for ever engaged to ascribe unto thee all Honour and Glory and render unto thee the uniform obedience of our hearts world without end Amen Amen VIII O Most gracious Lord God the Creator of all things but of men and all mankinde a tender Compassionate Father in Jesus Christ Thou that hast enlarged thy designes and purposes of Grace and mercy as the Bowels and blood-shedding of thy Son with an earnest desire that every weak or sinfull man should partake of that Abiss that infinite treasure of thy Bounty Thou that hast bequeathed unto us that Legacy and Example of a sacred inviolable Peace a large diffusive Charity we meekly beseech thee to overshadow with thy heavenly grace the souls of all men over all the world O Lord thou lover of soules to bring home to the acknowledgment and embraces of thy Son all that are yet strangers to that profession and in whatsoever any of us who have already received that mercy from thee may be any way usefull or instrumentall to that so glorious an end to direct and encline our hearts towards it to work in us all an holy zeale to thy Name and tender Bowels to all those whose eternity is concern'd in it O give us a true serious full comprehension and value of that one great Interest of others as well as of our selv●… shew us the meanest of us some way to contribute towards it if it be but our daily affectionate Prayers for the enlarging of thy Kingdome and the care of approving all our Actions so as may most effectually attract all others to this profession And for all those that have already that glorious name of thy Son called upon them blessed Lord that they may at length according to the many Engagements of their profession depart from iniquity That that holy City that new Ierusalem may at length according to thy promise descend from Heaven prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband Christ That that Tabernacle of God with men may be illustriously visible among us that

contentions animosities separating from and condemning one another and that most unchristian detestable guilt of blood but endeavour and earnestly contend for the uniform effectuall practise of all

advancing our secular designes or the disguise to conceale the foulest intentions of bringing down that most sacred name whereby we should be saved to be the vilest instrument of all Carnalities And by the power of thy controwling Spirit Lord humble and subdue all that exalts it self against the obedience of Christ And when thou hast cast out so many evill spirits be thou pleased thy self to possesse and enrich our souls to
