thee for mercy and protection. Thou hast made affliction the portion of thy Children in this life, thou feedest them with bread of teares, and gi∣vest them plenteousnesse of teares to drinke; yet be pleased to shew the light of thy countenance upon us, to lighten our darknesses, to relieve our miseries, to heal our sicknesses, and let not thy Church become a strife unto her neighbours, but reunite her divisions, and make her not a prey to them that would devoure her, and then laugh her to scorne. O Lord hedge her about with thy mer∣cies, with the custody of Angels, with the patro∣nage of Kings and Princes, with the hearts and hands of Nobles, and the defence of the whole secular arme, least the wild beasts of the field pluck off her grapes, destroy the vintage, and root up the vine it selfe: but let her so flourish under the beams of thy favour and providence, that it may take root and spread and fill all lands, that the name of the man of thy right hand, the God and Man Christ Iesus may be glorified, thy Church enlarged and defended, and we blessed with thy health and salvation. Grant this O Lord for Iesus Christ his sake our only Saviour and Re∣deemer. Amen.
