A Prayer used in the Parliament onely.

O Merciful God and Father, forasmuch as no counsel can stand, nor any can prosper, but only such as are humbly gathered in thy Name, to feel the swéet taste of thy Holy Spirit; we gladly acknowledge, that by thy favour standeth the peaceable pro∣tection of our Quén and Realm, and likewise this favourable liberty granted unto us at this time to make our méeting together; which thy bountiful Goodness we most thankfully acknowledging, do withal earnestly pray thy Divine Majesty so to encline our hearts, as our counsels may be subject in true obedience to thy Holy Word and Will. And sithe it hath pleased thée to govern this Realm by ordinary assembling the thrée Estates of the same: Our humble Prayer is, that thou wilt graff in us good mindes to conceive, frée liberty to speak, and on all sides a ready and quiet consent to such wholesome Laws and Statutes, as may declare us to be thy people, and this Realm to be prosperously ruled by thy good guiding and defence: So that we and our Posterity may with chearful hearts wait for thy appearance in Iudgment, that art only able to present us faultless before God our Heavenly Father: To whom with thée our Saviour Christ, and the Holy Spirit, be all Glory both now and ever. Amen.
