The Prayer.
O Lord our God, thou hast placed us in this world like pilgrims and strangers farre from our Countrey, farre from rest; give us soules and desires so abstract, so religious and contempla∣tive, that all our hopes, our joyes, and longings may be to enjoy thee and thy glories in the cele∣stiall Ierusalem: and let thy comforts refresh us in this our captivity and exile, that in our heavi∣nesse thou maist be our joy, our songs and melody may be the songs of Sion, the prayers of thy Name, that when thou hast delivered us from the wrath and malice of our enemies, and dashed all their wickednesse (which they have conceived and would bring forth to our destruction) against the Rocke Christ Iesus, we may be blessed a∣mongst thy children, and be carried into our Coun∣trey the Land of glorious promises, there to reigne with thee, who livest and governest all things, world without end. Amen.
