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 mer∣cies and deliverances for her. O Lord thou hast planted thy Church in the humility, and poverty, and death of thy Son, thou hast wa∣tered it with the bloud of thy Apostles and Martyrs, thou hast made it flourish, and spread forth its branches, by the warmth, and heat, and graces of thy holy Spirit, and hast accor∣ding to thy promise, still preserved it in the midst of all enmities and disadvantages. Thy Laws and righteous Commandements have been a scorn and derision to Jews and Gen∣tiles, the flesh of thy servants have been meat for the beasts of the Land, and still she wears the purple robe of mockery, and the crown of thorns which at first she took from the head and side of her dearest Lord: At last, O Lord, be gracious unto thine inheritance, help us, ô God of our salvation, for the glory of thy Name, let not thine enemies devour the Church, and lay waste her dwelling places: be mercifull unto our sins, preserve all those that by malice of their enemies are appointed to death, or prison, or any other misery: let us still enjoy the freedom of thy Gospel, the food of thy word, the sweet refreshings of thy Sacraments, publike Communions in thy Church, and all the benefits of the soci∣ety of Saints, and let not our sins cause thee to remove the Candlestick from us, but make

thy people and the sheep of thy pasture secure and glad in thy salvation, that we may shew forth thy praise in this world, and in the world to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
