The Prayer.

O Lord God, gracious and good, whose mer∣cy endureth for ever, have mercy upon us when in our trouble we cry unto thee; for when our hearts are brought down through heavinesse there is none to helpe us up, or to deliver us out of our distresse, but onely thou, O Lord. We have sinned, we have rebelled against thee, and lightly regarded thy counsels, we have walked and ••ate in darknesse and in the shadowes of death, being fast bound in the captivity and misery of sin. O bring us out of darknesse and breake our bonds

a sunder, guide us through the desert of this world, in which growes nothing but sadnesse and dis∣content; still the tempests, and smooth the slond•• of misery which are ready to overwhelm•• us, and in thy due time bring us to eternall rest, and to the haven where we would faine be, that in the congregation of thy holy people, we may praise thee for thy goodnesse, and declare, the wonders thou hast done for us in delivering us from sin, and misery, and death, and bringing us to a City to dwell in, where there is life, and light, and joy eternall in the beholding the face of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
