A progresse of pietie. Or the harbour of heauenly harts ease to recreate the afflicted soules of all such as are shut vp in anye inward or outward affliction. By Iohn Norden.

A short Prayer for the Queene.

OH Lorde almightie. King all sufficient, the gouernour, pre∣••eruer and continu∣all protector of prin∣ces to whole becke and will all kings of the earth are subiect, looke in mercie and fauour vpon the e∣state of thy seruant our Queene Elizabeth. Be vnto her a safe re∣fuge in all times of daunger, and let thine holye spirite, bee vnto her a continuall guide of all her imaginations, actions and procee∣dings: And for as much as thou beholdest, the present daunger of the estate of vs thy little flocke of this Realme, in that the enemie of thy Sonnes Gospell, vaun∣teth himselfe against vs, thy poore people and against her our defen∣der vnder thee. Bee both to her and vs a tower of strength, and fight thou with them that fight a∣gainst her and vs, & be with our

armies when soeuer they shal en∣counter the aduersarie, that shee thy seruant and we thy people her subiects, may still shew our selues thankefull vnto thee for thy pro∣tection, and couet more and more to serue thee in all truth and holy zeale as becōmeth vs in al things, graunt these things (good Father) in the merites of Jesus Christ our sauiour, in whom as thou art well pleased, bee pleased to blesse, preserue and direct our Queene, to comfort, defend & support vs, and either to bring our enemies to a perfect peace, in imbracing thy truth with vs, or to confound their deuises and power for euer, Amen.

Oh Lord increase our faith.
