¶ A Prayer for all Mankind, especially for the Reformed Churches.

MOst gracious and merciful God, who art the Sa∣viour of all men, especially of those that believe; and hast commanded us to make prayers and interces∣sions for all men, desiring that all may be saved, and come to the knowledge at the Truth: We humbly beseech thee to extend thy mercy and compassion to all Mankind; more particularly to the Reformed Churches, and especially to those who are still under Persecution for Truth and Righteousness sake.

Relieve them according to their several necessities; be a shelter and defence to them from the fury of the Oppressour: Let the sighing of the Prisoners come before thee, and according to the greatness of thy power preserve them that are appointed to die: Let not the poor always be forgotten; let not the pati∣ent abiding of the meek perish for ever. Visit in mercy them that are banished for the Testimony of thy Truth: Gather thy dispersed together, and re∣store the outcasts of thy People; and in thy good time bring them home to worship thee in their own Land: And whatsoever they have lost for thy sake, return it to them, according to thy gracious Promise, in the manifold Blessings of this and a bet∣ter Life: Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his Trou∣bles. And we beseech thee to enlighten all those who are in Darkness and Errour, and to give them Re∣pentance to the acknowledgment of the truth: That all the ends of the Earth may remember them∣selves and be turned unto the Lord: And we may all become one Flock under the great Shepherd and Bishop of our Souls, Iesus Christ, our Blessed Sa∣viour and Redeemer. Amen.
