In time of Pestilence.

DEliver me, O Lord, * 1.1 from all my offences, and make me not a rebuke to the foolish. Take, I humbly beseech thee, thy plague away from thy people, for we begin to be consumed by means of thy heavie hand. And for Jesus Christ his sake, lay neither me nor mine under this uncomfortable disease. Amen.

O Lord, deliver me from * 1.2 the snare of the hunter, and from the noisome pestilence: O defend me

Page 168

under thy wings, and keep me safe under thy feathers, that I may not be afraid for any terrour by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day; for the pestilence that walketh in the darkness, nor for the sickness that de∣stroyeth in the noon-day. Though thousands fall beside me, and ten thousands at my right hand, yet let it not come near me, even for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.

O Lord, thou art my * 1.3 hope, I beseech thee let no evil happen unto me, neither let any plague come nigh my dwelling; but give thine Angels charge over me to keep me in all my waies, O Lord my strength and my Redeemer. A∣men.

O let the sorrowful * 1.4 sighing of them whom thou hast visited come before thee; and according to the greatness both of thy power and mercie, preserve thou them that are appointed to die, even for Jesus Christ his sake.

Amen.
