The Prayer.

O Lord God of thine inheritance, who con∣veyest many blessings to the children of men, by the prayers and ministery of thy Church, let our Prayers obtain of thee mercies and deli∣verances

for her. O Lord thou hast planted thy Church in the humility, and poverty, and death of thy Sonne, thou hast watered it with the blood of thy Apostles and Martyrs, thou hast made it flourish, and spread forth its branches, by the warmth, and heate, and graces of thy holy spirit, and hast according to thy promise, still preserved it in the midst of all enmities and disadvantages. Thy Lawes and righteous commandements have been a scorn and derision to Iewes and Gentiles, the flesh of thy servants have been meat for the beasts of the Land, and still she weares the pur∣ple robe of mockery, and the crowne of thornes which at first she took from the head and side of her Dearest Lord: At last, O Lord, be gratious un∣to thine inheritance, help us, ô God of our salvati∣on, for the glory of thy Name, let not thine ene∣mies devour the Church, and lay wast her dwel∣ling places: be mercifull unto our sinnes, pre∣serve all those that by malice of their enemies are appoynted to death, or prison, or any other mise∣ry: let us still enjoy the freedom of thy Gospell, the food of thy word, the sweet refreshings of thy Sacraments, publike Communions in thy Church, and all the benefits of the society of Saints, and let not our sinnes cause thee to remove the Can∣dlestick from us, but make thy people and the sheep of thy pasture secure and glad in thy salva∣tion,

that we may shew forth thy praise in this world, and in the world to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
