Let them hearken attentively let them heare carefully let them practise fruitfully that the word which is preached unto them for want of faith condemn them not in the last day There is a notable promise of thy bounty that thy word shall not return unto thee spoken i● vain Be mindfull of this thy promise and blesse the labour of him that planteth and him that watereth Suffer not the infernall crows to pick out of the field of the hearers hearts the seed of thy holy word Suffer not the spinie thicket of the thorns of pleasures and riches to choke it Suffer not the hardnesse of the stony ground to hinder the fructification of it But poure down the dew of thy heavenly grace from above and water thy heavenly seed that the fruit of good works like standing-corn may spring up most plenteously Knit together in a neare bond of love and charitie the hearts of the pastours and of the hearers that they may labour together with mutuall prayers and raise up one another with mutuall comfort Amen PRAYER III. He prayes for Magistrates and subjects ALmighty eternall and mercifull God Lord of hosts that dost translate and establish kingdomes from whom is all power in heaven and in earth whom the Angels in heaven adore whom the Arch-angels praise whom the Thrones worship to whom Dominations are subject and Principalities serve whom Rulers honour and Powers reverence I joyn my prayers and humble requests with those holy and powerfull spirits and call upon thee to replenish our magistracy here on earth with the spirit of wisdome and to protect it with the strength of thy fortitude Be present by thy grace with all Christian Kings and Governours that the greater their dangers be in respect of the highnesse of their state the greater they may finde the abundance of thy grace towards them Kindle in their hearts the light of thy heavenly wisdome that they may know and acknowledge themselves to be subject unto thee the Lord of all and to be thy vassals and that they are bound to give unto thee hereafter an account of their government Let them study for peace seeing that they are thy servants who art the God of peace Let them study for justice seeing that they are thy servants who art the God of justice Let them study for clemencie and mercie seeing that they are thy servants who art the God of mercie Let them keep and observe both the tables of the commandments and become nursing-fathers unto thy afflicted Church upon earth Let them put on a fatherly affection toward their subjects Let them alwayes administer right judgement Draw their hearts away from the splendour and brightnes of their earthly dominion that there creep not upon them a forgetfulnesse of true godlinesse and of the heavenly kingdome Govern them by thy holy Spirit that they be not high-minded and that they abuse not the authoritie that is granted unto them and do that which is wicked Grant that in this world they may so execute their functions that they may reigne with thy elect without end in the kingdome of heaven and that they may passe from the flitting glory of this present world to everlasting glory in the world to come Rule them and keep them in that they tyrannize not over thy people and so descend for all their costly robes precious gemms naked and miserable to be tormented in the pit of hell And unto us whom thou hast made subject to them as thy Vicars and Vicegerents give an obedient heart and readie minde to serve them with all readinesse and cheerfulnesse that under their government we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godlinesse and honestie that we may honour them and perform loyall obedience unto them knowing that they have just power and dominion over us and that we may obey their honest and godly commands and so by submitting our selves unto the laws be made partakers of the true libertie For this is true libertie To serve God the magistracie and the laws Let us honour them with our hearts with our mouthes and with our works because thou O most gracious God hast made them thy Vicegerents here on earth Let the eyes of the Magistrates be watchfull and seeing let the eares of the subjects be open and hearing And let the gates of heaven be hereafter set wide open to them both to receive them Amen PRAYER IIII.
