PSALME 12.

A prayer for defence against the dan∣gers of evill Company.

EVENING PRAYER.

HElp me, Lord, for there is not one godly man left: for the faithfull are minished from among the children of men.

2 They talk of vanity every one with his neighbour: they do but flatter with their lips, and dissemble with their double heart.

3 The Lord shall root out all deceitfull lips: and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

4 Which have said, With our tongue we will prevail: we are they that ought to speak, who is Lord over us?

5 Now for the comfortlesse troubles sake of the needy: and because of the deep sighing of the poore.

6 I will up (saith the Lord:) and will helpe every one from him that swelleth against him, and will see them at rest.

7 The words of the Lord are pure words: e∣ven as the silver which from the earth is tried, & purified seven times in the fire,

8 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord: thou shalt preserve him from this generation for ever.

9 The ungodly walk on every side: when they are exalted, the children of men are put to rebuke.

The Prayer.

O Most blessed Iesu, who in thy eternall provi∣dence doest suffer the ••ares and the wheat to grow together untill the harvest, permitting hereticks and vitious persons to communicate in the externall Society of thy people, grant us thy grace, that we may so believe, & heartily obey all thy pure words and dictates, which thou hast taught us in thy holy Gospell, that we may be kept unspotted of the world, and although the ungodly walke on every side, yet we may perse∣vere in the wayes of righteousnesse, and increase the number of the godly, that at last we may be admitted into the glorious fellowship of Saints & Angells, who behold thy face & the glories of thy Kingdome, where thou livest and raignest, with the Father & the holy Ghost, Eternall God world without end. Amen.
