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 deuout Prayer, for the preseruation of her Maiesties forces now at Sea.

MOst omnipotent maker, and gui∣der of all worlds, thou onely sear∣chest & fadomest the botome of all hearts, consciences, and conceits, and in them seest the true originall of all actions intended. Thou that by thy foresight doest truely dis∣cerne of al actions intended. Thou that by thy foresight doest truely discer••••e, how no malice of reuēge, nor quittance of iniurie, nor desire of bloudshead, nor greedines of luker, hath bred the resolution of our now set out army, but a heed∣full care, and a wary watch, that no neglect of foes, nor our securi∣tie of harme, might breede either danger to vs, or glorie to them. These being the groundes, thou that diddest inspire the minds, we humbly beseech thee with bended

knees, to prosper the worke, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with the best forewinde guide the iourney, speede the victory, make the returne the aduancement of thy glory, the triumph of thy fame, and suertie of this Realme, with the least losses of english bloud. To this deuout pe∣tition Lord giue thy blessed graunt.

Amen.
