The Prayer.
O Lord God who wert known to thy people Israel by thy name Iehovah, thou art onely the highest over all the earth, arise and defend thy people, and deliver thy secret ones from the murmurings, councels, and crafty imaginations of thine enemies against them. Fixe the founda∣tions of the Church upon a Rocke, and preserve thine inheritance in peace and safety. Infatuate the councels, restrain the sacrilegious appetites of all such persons who would rob all thy houses and take them to their owne possession, and make their faces so ashamed and their hearts afraid, that they may return from covetousnesse and impiety, and seek thy Name, repenting of all their sinnes, and living in justice and religion, that at last they may come into an everlasting possession of thy house, and of thy Temple where thine Honour dwelleth and reigneth eternally world without end. Amen.
