an horrible dread hath overwhelmed us and it is thy great Mercy only that we are not consumed for we have sinned O Lord we have transgressed and done wickedly yea we have rebelled and departed from thy Precepts and from thy Commandments Priest Innumerable Troubles are come about us and our Sins have taken hold upon us that we are not able to look up yea they are more in number than the hairs of our Head and our Hearts have failed us O Lord Righteousness belongs unto thee but unto us Confusion of Face because of all the Offences we have committed against thee People Yet Compassion and Forgiveness is with thee though we have rebelled against thee O Lord according to thy Goodness we beseech thee let thine Anger and thy Wrath be turned away from us and cause thy Face to shine upon thy Servants Incline thine Ears and hear open thine Eyes and behold our Afflictions for we do not present our Supplications before thee in our own Righteousness but for thy manifold and great Mercies Priest We have sinned we have sinned against thee O Heavenly Father and are no more worthy to be called thy Sons People Yet O Lord hear O Lord forgive consider do it and defer not for thine own sake O our God Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be World without end Amen Priest Hear our Prayer O Lord and hide not thy self from our Petitions and hearken unto the Words of our Mouth for Strangers are risen up against us and Tyrants which have not God before their Eyes seek after our Souls People Cast us not away in the times of our Weakness forsake us not when our Strength faileth us Priest O remember not our Offences but according to thy Mercy think thou upon us for thy Goodness sake People O turn thee unto us and have mercy upon us for we are desolate and in Misery Priest The Sorrows of our Hearts are enlarged O bring thou us out of all our Troubles People Turn us O God our Saviour and let thine Anger cease from us send down from on high and deliver us take us out of those many Waters Priest Why art thou absent from us so long Why is thy Wrath so hot against the Sheep of thy Pasture People Wherefore hidest thou thy Face and forgettest our Misery and Trouble For our Soul is brought low unto the Dust and our Belly cleaveth unto the Ground Priest Look upon our Adversity and Misery and forgive us all our Sins Arise O Lord and help us and deliver us for thy Mercies sake so shall it be known that it is thy hand and that thou Lord hast done it Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be World without end Amen The Second Lesson proper for this Occasion is XXIV Chapter of St. Matthew 1. Christ foretelleth the Destruction of the Temple What and how great Calamities shall be before it 29. The Signs of his coming to Judgment 36. And because that Day and Hour is unknown 42. We ought to watch like good Servants expecting every moment our Masters coming AND Jesus went out and departed from the Temple and his Disciples came to him for to shew him the Buildings of the Temple 2. And Jesus said unto them see ye not all these Things verily I say unto you there shall not be left here one Stone upon another that shall not be thrown down 3. And as he sate upon the Mount of Olives the Disciples came unto him privately saying tell us when shall these Things be and what shall be the Sign of thy coming and of the end of the World 4. And Jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no Man deceive you 5. For many shall come in my Name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many 6. And ye shall hear of Wars and rumours of Wars See that ye be not troubled For all these things must come to pass but the End is not yet 7. For Nation shall rise against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom and there shall be Famines and Pestilence and Earthquakes in divers Places 8. All these are the beginning of Sorrows 9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you And ye shall be hated of all Nations for my Names sake 10. And then shall many be offended and betray one another and shall hate one another 11. And many false Prophets shall rise and shall deceive many 12. And because Iniquity shall abound the Love of many shall wax cold 13. But he that shall endure unto the end the same shall be saved 14. And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the World for a Witness unto all Nations and then shall the end come 15. When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet stand in the holy Place whoso readeth let him understand 16. Then let them which be in Judea flee into the Mountains 17. Let him which is on the House top not come down to take any thing out of his House 18. Neither let him which is in the Field return back to take his Cloths 19. And wo unto them that are with Child and to them that give suck in those Days 20. But pray ye that your Flight be not in the Winter neither on the Sabbath Day 21. For then shall be great Tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the World to this time no nor ever shall be 22. And except those Days should be shortned there should no Flesh be saved But for elects sake those Days shall be shortned 23. Then if any Man shall say unto you lo here is Christ or there believe it not 24. For there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great Signs and Wonders insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect 25. Behold I have told you before 26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you Behold he is in the Desert go not forth Behold he is in the secret Chambers believe it not 27. For as the Lightning cometh out of the East and shineth even unto the West So shall also the coming of the Son of Man be 28. For wheresoever the Carcase is there will the Eagles be gathered together 29. Immediately after the Tribulation of those Days shall the Sun be darkned and the Moon shall not give her Light and the Stars shall fall from Heaven and the Powers of the Heaven shall be shaken 30. And then shall appear the Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven And then shall all the Tribes of the Earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the Clouds of Heaven with Power and great Glory 31. And he shall send his Angels with a great Sound of a Trumpet
and they shall gather together his Elect from the four Winds from one end of Heaven to the other 32. Now learn a Parable of the Fig-tree When his Branch is yet tender and putteth forth Leaves ye know that Summer is nigh 33. So likewise ye when ye shall see all these things know that it is near even at the Doors 34. Verily I say unto you this Generation shall not pass till all these Things be fulfilled 35. Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my Words shall not pass away 36. But of that Day and Hour knoweth no Man no not the Angels of Heaven but my Father only 37. But as the Days of Noe were so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be 38. For as in the Days that were before the Flood they were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage until the Day that Noe entred into the Ark 39. And knew not when the Flood came and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be 40. Then shall two be in the Field the one shall be taken and the other left 41. Two Women shall be grinding at the Mill the one shall be taken and the other left 42. Watch therefore for ye know not what Hour your Lord doth come 43. But know this that if the good Man of the House had known in what watch the Thief would come he would have watched and would not have suffered his House to be broken up 44. Therefore be ye also ready for in such an Hour as you think not the Son of Man cometh 45. Who then is a faithful and wise Servant whom his Lord hath made Ruler over his Houshold to give them Meat in due Season 46. Blessed is that Servant whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing 47. Verily I say unto you that he shall make him Ruler over all his Goods 48. But and if that evil Servant shall say in his Heart My Lord delayeth his coming 49. And shall begin to smite his Fellow Servants and to eat and drink with the drunken 50. The Lord of that Servant shall come in a Day when he looketh not for him and in an Hour that he is not aware of 51. And shall cut him asunder and appoint him his Portion with the Hypocrites There shall be weeping and gnashing of Teeth Priest Give thy Judgments O God and thy Righteousness to the King People The Lord hear him in the Day of Trouble the Name of the God of Jacob defend him Priest Send him Help from his Sanctuary and strengthen him out of Sion People Let the King rejoice in thy Strength O Lord and let him be exceeding glad of thy Salvation Priest Grant him his Hearts desire and deny him not the Request of his lips People O Lord gird him with Strength unto the Battle throw down his Enemies under him Priest Make them to turn their Backs upon him and disperse those that hate him People Deliver him from the strivings of his People Priest Deliver him from his cruel Enemies and set him above his Adversaries thou shalt rid him from the wicked Man and why because the King puts his strength in the Lord and in the Mercy of the most High he shall not miscarry People Some put their trust in Chariots and some in Horses but we remember the Name of the Lord our God Priest Save Lord and hear us O King of Heaven when we call upon thee People Be thou exalted in thy own strength so will we sing and praise thy power Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen O Lord God that dost build up Jerusalem and gather together the outcasts of Israel wherefore art thou absent so long and why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy Pasture O think upon thy Congregation whom thou hast purchased and redeemed of old think upon the tribe of thine Inheritance and mount Sion where thou hast dwelt Lift up thy Feet and disperse all those our Enemies which have done ill in thy Sanctuary For they have broken down the carved Work thereof with Axes and Hammers They have defiled the dwelling places of thy Name yea they said in their hearts let us make havock of them altogether O God how long shall the adversary do this dishonour how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever Why withdrawest thou thy hand why pluckest not thou thy right hand out of thy bosom to scatter the enemy Arise O God maintain thine own cause remember how the foolish Man blasphemeth thee daily Forget not the voice of thine Enemies the presumption of those that hate thee encreaseth ever more and more Priest Glory be to the Father and to the Son c. People As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end Amen A Prayer O Eternal God and most merciful Father we humbly beseech thee to be merciful unto us and be near to help us in all those extremities which our Sins threaten to bring upon us our Enemies are strengthned against us because our rebellions are multiplied against thee and we deserve to suffer what our Enemies threaten and sudden destruction and with desolation but there is mercy with thee that thou mayst be feared and there is mercy with thee that they may not be feared shew us therefore thy mercy O Lord and let us so fear thee that we may never be brought to feel or fear them and that for our Jesus and thy Christ his sake Amen A Prayer for the Church ALmighty God and gracious Father we confess against our selves that we are most worthy of all the Judgments that thou hast threatned against us these Kingdoms this Church which is now under the Cross and near to utter ruin and extirpation unless thy mercy stept in between thy fierce Wâ—ath and our heinous Sins and howsoever the voice of our crying Sins hath ascended into thine Ears and stirred up Destroyers to root us out that we be no more a People and that thy Name be no more called upon nor hallowed by us yet we most humbly beseech thee to hear the Prayers and Supplications with strong Cryings and Tears which once our blessed Saviour offered for us upon the Cross and in the Garden and daily represents unto thee and for his all-sufficient Merits which speak better things than the Blood of Abel hear not the cry of our Sins but hear the cry of his Blood and therein wash away all our Sins let our great Miseries and Dangers suffice for that which is past and let that Orator in thy own bosom that is thine own fatherly goodness perswade and prevail for us and purchase our Deliverance and Safety hear us for our selves and others look upon us with the Eyes of Pity and Compassion consider our Enemies how many and how mighty they be and they
