In time of Dearth.
BE merciful, O Lord, and * 1.1 remember us, that we be not confounded in these perilous times, and that in these days of dearth we may have enough, and a free heart and hand to bestow it upon thy poor ones, even for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.
O Lord, our sins have prevai∣led * 1.2 against us, yet be thou merciful unto our transgressions. O visit the Earth, and prepare Corn for the Inhabitants thereof. Crown the year with thy goodness, and let no cloud drop other than fatness; that the very Hills may rejoyce on every side; that the Pastures may be cover∣ed with sheep, and the Vallies with corn, that thy People may rejoyce and sing unto thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God heavenly Fa∣ther, * 1.3 who by thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to all them that seek thy Kingdom and the righteousness thereof, all things necessarie for their bodily sustenance: Behold, we be∣seech thee, the afflictions of thy Peo∣ple, and grant that the scarcitie and dearth (which we do now most justly suffer for our sins) may through thy goodness be mercifully turned into cheapness and plentie, for the love of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord, be mercifully pleased to give and pre∣serve * 1.4 to our use the kindly fruits of the Earth, so that in due time we may enjoy them, and praise thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
