through Christ thou wouldst forgiue mee all these my sins and poure thy holy Ghost into my heart that I may constantly abide in a godly life All which grant vnto mee for thy deare Sonnes sake Iesus Christ my Lord and Sauior Amen Another prayer to our Lord Iesus Christ the euerlasting Son of God for grace and forgiuenesse O My deare Lord Iesus Christ I confesse vnto thee from the bottome of my heart with great sighing that I am alas a poo●e sinner conceiued and home in sinne and iniquity to haue liued wickedly against thee and thy holy Word with vngodly and vnthankefull heart for which I am heartily sorry But I am comfored in my heart that thou wilt not the death of a sinner which thou hast sworne and confirmed with an oath That thou wilt not be angry with me for euer nor yet for euer punish mee Thou dost call and entice all them that are weary oppressed comfortlesse sorrowfull bearts and consciences to thee and thy holy Word and namest thy selfe A heauenly Physicion which takest vpon thee our woes and miseries wherein wee through sinne are fallen and bringest to vs thy euerlasting helpe and refreshing by Preaching of thy holy Gospell wherewith wee may be holpen for euermore vpon such thy gracious promises come I to thee and pray thee from the bottome of my heart O my Lord God and Sauiour to be mercifull to me poore sinner like as thou hast promised such mercy for the loue of thy owne grace merits Amen Lord Iesus Christ Amen The Lords Prayer contained in a short forme ABba deare Father wée thy vnworthy children call vpon thee in the name of thy beloued Sonne Iesus Christ through thy holy Ghost vphold vs by thy holy Word giue vs honest and true Teachers and Preachers to distribute the same amongst vs Release vs quickly out of the Diuels kingdome bring vs to thy Kingdoom of Grace and to euerlasting life And giue vs thy holy Spirit that wee as the Angels of God may liue holily according to thy will and pleasure Nourish blesse and preserue our households Wiues Children and Seruants in this life couer our trespasses and of fences and giue vs a louing heart to forgiue all those that haue offended vs. Let vs not consent vnto sinne nor fall from thy onely Word of saluation but keepe vs from the euill Fiend and from all his deceites Thou art a most mightie King powerfull to rule thou canst and wilt grant vs all these things For which wee will giue thee thankes and praise thee for euer Amen A Prayer wherein the confession of our Christian Faith is simply contained wherewith a man may cal vpon God for st●engthening of his faith O Almightie and euerlasting God which art a Father of all grace and mercy and a God of all comfort for vs poore sinners which I and all Christians through reuealing of thy Word doe acknowledge and beleeue for certain Therefore doe I land honour and praise thee deare Father of heauen for such thy vnspeakable loue wherewith thou hast graciously had respect to vs thy enemies transgressors of thy commandements and damned creatures Namely in that thou hast not spared thy onely Sonne our Lord Iesus Christ who is equall with the God head and with the holy Ghost Especially that thou hast let him bee incarnate for our sinfull nature and doings with our actuall misdeeds and howsoeuer we haue thereby deserued and into manifold horrible reproches and finally to yeeld himselfe to the shamefull death of the Crosse And so of pure fatherly loue hast ordained him a Lambe to carry my sinnes and the sins of the whole world vpon the Crosse and to be a perfect Oblation therefore and dost proffer proclaime and promise the same throughout the whole world commandest also the same to be beléeued vpon paine of losing euerlasting saluation for thereby and by no other meanes must it onely bee applyed and impropriated to me and to all the faithfull and to bée our owne Therefore deare Father do I constantly beleeue according to the same reuealing of the holy Gospell all this same and doubt not thereof any thing at all as I thy Childe am bound and will doe not respecting my vnworthinesse In Christ thy onely Sonne are all my sins and all which beleeue and boldly trust vnto it sufficiently punished corrected spent and through his perfect obedient death of the Crosse all killed and taken away And that I am and also all Christiās through such faith planted in the Kingdome of thy deare Sonne as the holy Scripture saith by whom we haue redemption through his bloud namely remission of sinnes I beleeue also verily that in the death of Christ thy deare Sonne my death is ouercome that it shall neuer hurt mee nor consume mee into damnation as the Scripture saith Christ hath ●a●ed of death for all hath taken into his power and brought to lighten vntransitory life and being through his Gospell I beleeue also that the destroying of ●●ell which was done by thy deare Sonne is destroyed and torne asunder for mee and all faithfull that the same cannot consume or deuoure mee nor any of the right beleeuers as the Scripture saith ●●ll where is thy victory And in another place The gates of Hell shall not preuaile against the right Beleeuers And The Prince of this world is iudged I beleeue also that thy Commandements with all the power thereof which they haue haue no more right ouer mee although I cannot absolutely keepe them For the Lord Christ thy deare Sonne hath through his obedience perfectly kept the same for mee and taken from them the right and interest which they had in mee wherewith thou almighty Euerlasting and Merc●full God and Father art satisfied I beleeue also that the resurrection of Christ thy deare Sonne is a new life vnto mee and to all faithfull vnto euerlasting life Finally I beléeue also as the Scripture saith that hee is ascended into Heauen and hath taken rule on the right hand of his Father and answereth for me and al the faithfull that hencefoorth the Diuell and all his power is taken must bee subiect and lie at the feete of mee and all the Faithfull Therefore I pray thée O Lord GOD thou infinite Fountaine of all grace that through the power working of the Holy Ghost thou wilt giue mée such faith and acknowledging this day and lawaies to the end of my life And I pray thee also my Lord Iesus Christ which art true and perfect GOD with the Father and the Holy Ghost forasmuch as thou hast put thy selfe vnder the tyranny of the Law which by reason of sinne it had towardes mee and all mankind and hast taken on thée my sinne Death Hell and damnation which I by all reason right and rigour thereof should haue borne that thou wilt help to still and pacifie these great misdeedes betwéene GOD our heauenly Father and mee especially in my conscience which continually disquieteth mee through the power

Crosse God esteems vs not Esay 27. I The Lord do kéep my vineyard that is my Christians and water it quickly that his leaues doo not wither I will preserue it day and night Héer doth God the Lord comfort vs that his Christians should not bee grieued with the Crosse for he compareth his Christendome to a pleasant Vineyard that standeth open on all sides that euery one may come in and no man keeps it but lets it ly yea that it wants rain and all will wither and bee dry So doo wee also think vnder the Crosse that God careth not for vs else should wee hée better But it is certain that God himself wil be Guardian ouer his Christians and will send them the rain of grace comfort in all their temptations as hee héer saith ●●●e Lord doo keep it and will quickly water it I will keep it both day and night that no man hurt it that is My Christians shal not méet with any euill so graciously will I watch and ward them But ho●● is such watching and warding and yet a man doth not see it Although it séemeth God h●th no great respect with his guar●ing of temporal things and whatsoeuer is corporall whil●st they belong not to his Kingdom yet must the world and the diuell let it alone and not doo all things as pleaseth them seeing the hairs of our head are numbred As wee haue an example thereof in Mat. 8. that the diuell without Christs leaue could not goe into a filthy Swine And such doo the Histories sufficiently shew But the right guard and protection of vs Christians goeth inwardly to the heart which God with his holy Spirit and Word puts into vs and day and night keeps vs that sin growe not quite ouer vs and that Satan be not too mighty for vs. Of such guard speaketh he shortly after The sin of Iacob shall thereby cease that is through the Crosse God defends vs against sinne and mortifieth the old Adam Many a one doth lie in his bedde who if hee were well would doo all mischief Many a one hath another assaulting which driueth him to Sermons and Praiers and to amendment of his life who if that were not would care nothing at all for God or his Word Against such assaulting should we earnestly think vpon this defense of our Lord God for the world doth not sée it and the Christians also somtimes do forget it in their néed and think God doth not regard them he hath forgotten them So did Dauid comfort himself Psalm 32. Thou art my d●fense thou wilt keep me from sorrow A Praier O Lord thou kéeper of Israel which doost neither slumber nor sléep and hast promised to thy faithfull that lift vp their eies toward heauen to thee and tarry for thy godly grace comfort help that thou wilt kéep them day and night in their tribulations and with the comfort of thy holy Spirit wilt moisten their hearts and graciously accept of them which is easie for thee to doo I pray thée let mee not forget thy watching and warding in my aduersity nor bee weak in mine owne cause that thou wouldst kéep me from trouble O kéep me from all tribulation O kéep me from all euill O kéep my soule and deliuer me let me not be ashamed O kéep thou my going out and comming in both now for euermore Amen II. Against the other a●saulting God is our enemy Esay 27. With me is no anger Lamen 3. The Lord troubleth but he hath compassion again according to his great goodnes for hee vereth not nor troubleth man from his heart O God whosoeuer could beléeue this should yet bee merry although hee were ill But all sorrows and complaints come of this that we think God is angry with vs. Therefore he giueth vs in Esay a pleasant similitude I cannot bee so angry with my Vmeyard that is with my Christians because I attend the same so diligently It is a deare Iewell vnto me Therefore doe I dresse it I hack it I cut it not that I hate it but because I loue it and will further it that it bring forth fruit which otherwise would not come foorth if I should not in such sort hack it and cut it for although it seem not friendly that the hedger standeth ouer the Vine with his knife and cutteth it hath the Mattocke in his hand and heaweth it with all his might yet is it but for the good of the Vineyard that it beare the more fruit So shall you my deare Christians saith the Lord vnderstand it sol kewise and hold it for a certaine that I loue you Prouerbs 3. when I come ouer you with the Crosse with the Wine-hook and Mattocke cut and hack you Another fine similitude giueth he afterward of plowing in chapter 28. Hearken with your eares and heare my voice When a Husbandman breaketh and ploweth his field it séemeth that hée doth much harme especially when hee oftentimes in the yéere yea thrée or foure times turneth it ouer and ploweth through the same Wherefore doth hee it It goeth heere after the common Prouerb The fourth kinde bringeth the fourth Sheaf Therefore dooth hee not let it rest after plowing but when hee hath plowed thorow his field hee soweth it then followeth faire and goodly fruit So saith the Lord GOD doo I also I plow you with the Crosse and send one thing after another now pouerty then sickenesse c. which dooth grieue you but it procéedeth not of anger as if I were your enemy it is done for your good that the stones and rocks may be rooted out and the ground made readie for fruit Therefore doe I chastise you thorow right and doctrine Likewise doth leremy in this place also comfort The Lord troubleth me c For that is his work as Psalm 4 saith Hee dealeth strangely with his Saints he thrusteth them first unto hell and lets them come into need before he do help them out hée lets one bee first sick before hee make him whole But in such Crosses and Tribulations doth hée leaue them helplesse No but hath such a heart as is full of loue and compassion Therefore is hee mercifull againe according vnto his great goodnesse and sheweth himselfe like a helpfull GOD and beareth a fatherly heart toward vs. For like as a father dooth carry an heart towards his deare childe in that hee restraineth him to the end he come to goodnes and may see both ioy and honesty in him So in GOD's heart towards vs also that he vexeth not nor troubleth vs men from his heart but that he may preserue vs his deare children to his glory kingdom and euerlasting life Heer of hast thou a fine example of Ioseph which praied a long time hee was guiltlesse and cast into Prison God heard him not so soone else had he come home to his parents and béen a poor shepherd all his life time but afterward God took pity of his misery released him of his imprisonment
