Morning Prayer.
PSALME 110.
A Hymne in the honour of Christs Kingdom, and Priesthood, and exaltation.

THe Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, untill I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy pow∣er out of Sion: be thou ruler even in the midst among thine enemies.

3 In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free-will-offerings with an holy worship: the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

4 The Lord sware and will not repent: Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.

5 The Lord upon thy right hand: shall wound even kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies: and smite in sunder the heads over divers countreys.

Page 222

7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up his head.

The Prayer.

O Eternall God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who when thy Son had drank of the brook in the way to the grave and to our redemption, (beginning his passion by the brook Cedron, and tasting the waters of bit∣ternesse till he had drunk off the whole chalice of thy wrath upon the Crosse) didst lift up his head, and set him at thy right hand till thou shalt make all his enemies his footstool: fill our hearts with his love and praises, that we may pay him the offerings of our souls and bo∣dies in an holy worship, and joyfull thanksgi∣ving for all the parts and mysteries of our re∣demption, for his birth in the womb of his ho∣ly Mother, pure and virginall, like the morning dew, for his Death and Passion, and for his con∣tinuall mediation and intercession by which he does officiate in his eternall Priesthood, which is after the order of Melchisedek. Re∣member us, blessed Jesu, in the Day of thy pow∣er, when thou shalt come to judge the world, and the places fill'd with dead bodies shall give up their dead, that we may sit at thy right hand to magnifie and behold the glories of thy Kingdome for ever and ever. Amen.

PSALME 111.
An Eucharisticall Hymne for the benefits of the holy Gospel, particularly of the blessed Sacra∣ment.

I Will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart: secretly among the faithfull, and in the congregation.

2 The works of the Lord are great: sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour: and his righteousnesse endureth for ever.

4 The mercifull and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remem∣brance.

5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he shall ever be mindull of his covenn.

6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works: that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are verity and judgement: all his commandements are true.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever: and are done in truth and equity.

9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath com∣manded his covenant for ever, holy and reverend is his Name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdome: a good understanding have all they that doe thereafter, the praise of it endureth for ever.

The Prayer.

O Blessed Jesu, whose righteousnesse endu∣reth for ever, thy work is worthy to be praised and had in honour, for that thou hast

Page 224

been mercifull and gracious to us, and hast gi∣ven meat, even the food of the blessed Sacra∣ment unto them that fear thee, that by partici∣pation of thy holy Communion we should have thee in remembrance, and ever be mind∣full of thy covenant: plant thy fear in our hearts, give us wisdome and good understan∣ding, and make us to have pleasure in thee, and all thy works, that we obeying the precepts of thy holy Gospel, and performing the con∣ditions of thy covenant, which thou hast esta∣blished for ever in truth and equity, in verity and judgement, we may worthily praise and adore thy reverend and holy Name among the faithfull in this life, and in the great con∣gregation of saints in the life to come, through thy mercies, O blessed Jesu, to whom with the Father and the holy Ghost be all honour and glory now and for ever. Amen.

PSALME 112.
A Prayer for the feare of the Lord, for charity, and the blessings of the righteous.

BLessed is the man that feareth the Lord: hee hath great delight in his commandements.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the faithfull shall be blessed.

3 Riches and plenteousnesse shall be in his house: and his righteousnesse endureth for ever.

4 Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness: he is mercifull, loving, and righteous.

5 A good man is mercifull, and lendeth: and will guide his words with discretion.

Page 225

6 For he shall never be moved: and the righteous shall be had in an everlasting remembrance.

7 He will not be afraid for any evill tidings: for his heart standeth fast, and beleeveth in the Lord.

8 His heart is stablished and will not shrink: untill he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed abroad and given to the poor: and his righteousnesse remaineth for ever, his horn shall bee exalted with honour.

10 The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away, the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

The Prayer.

O Lord God who art to be feared in the ge∣nerations of the world, teach us the fear of thy Name, that we may fear to offend thee, and that delighting in thy Commandements, we may serve thee without fear of our ene∣mies in holinesse and righteousnesse all our days. Let thy light rise upon the darknesse of our understandings; let thy mercies and gen∣tlenesse cure all thoughts of unmercifulnesse in us, and make us charitable, of tender bowels, yearning with pity over the needs of the poor. Teach us to guide our words with discretion, make us never to be moved from our purposes of holy living, stablish our hearts in thy love, that in the day of restitution of all things, thou mayest give us the portion of the charitable, the rewards of thy right hand, and when the wicked shall gnash with their teeth, and con∣sume away in a sad eternity, we may be satisfi∣ed

Page 226

with the riches and plenteousnesse of thy house for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PSALME 113.
A thanksgiving to God for his acts of providence, and particular care over the poor and humble.

PRaise the Lord (ye servants:) O praise the Name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore.

3 The Lords name is praised: from the rising up of the sun, unto the going down of the same.

4 The Lord is high above all heathen: and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high: and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust: and lifteth the poor out of the mire.

7 That he may set him with the princes: even with the princes of his people.

8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house: and to be a joyfull mother of children.

The Prayer.

O Lord God whose dwelling is on high, and yet thou humblest thy self to behold the things that are in Heaven and earth, have mer∣cy upon us thy humble servants, and lift us up from the gates of death, take us out of the mire that we sink not into the bottomlesse pit of misery and infelicity, and when for our sinnes thou humblest us as low as the dust, let thy

Page 227

mercy exalt us and restore us to the light of thy countenance, and the joy of thy salvation; that when thou shalt call all the world to judgement from the rising of the Sun to the going down thereof, we may be set with the Princes of thy people, with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in thine eternall Kingdome, to sing praises to thy Name from this time forth for evermore. Amen.
