Prayers.

1. A General Prayer for all Prisoners.

O! Almighty and Everlasting God, thou seest the Streights and Sorrows which I endure in this place, and how unable I am to help my self, or to bring about my own Deliverance. But the less Hope and Support I have in my self, the more I look up unto thee, and place my Trust in thy Mercy. And when my own care can avail the least, let thine, O! thou blessed Helper of the Helpless, appear the most for me.

Give me a Body, O! my God, fit to bear the Inconveniences of this close place, and Grace to be

content therewith: Whilst I lie up here, let me not want necessary Provisions, nor repine at the mean∣ness thereof. Suit the lowness of my Desires, to the hardship of my Circumstances, and let the great∣ness of my study and care be, to (* 1.1 do Justice, and shew Temperance and Self-denials) not to please my self, or to gratifie my own Carnal Ease and Appetites.

Whilst I am here kept apart from my former acquaintance, Grant, O! Lord, that I may care∣fully retire into my Self, and call mine own ways to remembrance. And, Oh! that I may amend whatsoever is amiss there, and set all so streight with thee, that I may delight to look into my own Heart, and to search out my own Spirit. Lord! now thou hast left me nothing else to do, make me apply my self wholly to* 1.2 the one thing necessary. To grow in Holy Reverence, and Devotion of Spirit, in the study of dealing justly, and fairly, with all who are any way concerned with me; in Humility apud mortified Af∣fections,

in Patience and Content∣edness. Oh! plant and fill my Soul, with all Heavenly Virtues, and make bright all the cloudy and dark parts thereof, with the Rays of thy divine Image. And then, O! my God, I shall see something of thee, as oft as I look into my self, and learn to be pleased with my own Company, though others are kept from me.

And in whatsoever want I am of other Comforts, grant, O! Father of Mercies, that both here, and ever hereafter, I may have the Comfort of thy Presence. When all else are taken from me, do not thou forsake me. Though I dwell in a disconsolate Room, let thy Spirit dwell with me. Let thy Law at all times direct me, and let the Sense of thy Love comfort me. And after thou hast Graciously im∣proved this Melancholy Restraint, to wean me from vain and carnal Delight, and to set my Soul free in thy good time. O! my refuge and strength, deliver me out of this Prison, and set my Body too at

Liberty, for my dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

The Prisoner for Righteousness may use the preceding Prayers, for Integrity, for Constancy in persecuted Duties, for Faith, for Trust in God, for Patience, for Charity towards Persecu∣ters, &c. in the foregoing Office for Sufferers ••or Righteousness, as he sees cause.

And for more particular Cir∣cumstances and needs, of such as are Prisoners for the same, they may express the Devotion of their Spirit in these Prayers following:

2. Particular Prayers.

1. A Prayer for the Prisoner for any part of Truth or Righteousness, to use in his Family.

O! Father of Mercies, who ta∣kest the Poor and Helpless, under thine own more immediate and especial care, when thou takest those from them, whose part it is under thee to take care of them;

shew the Riches of thy Grace and Loving-kindness; I humbly intreat thee, to my (* 1.3 Dear Wife and Chil∣dren.] Guide them always by thy Holy Spirit, and watch over them with an indulgent providence. [Keep them obedient to Councel, and continue them under the Bles∣sing of her care.) Preserve them from Want, and protect them from Danger, and make them a mutual Comfort, and Support to each o∣ther. And in the midst of all my Troubles, continue (both her and) them a constant Comfort and Re∣freshment to me thy poor unwor∣thy Servant.

And let me not, O! Gracious God, make them unhappy. Or, if we suffer in common, for stand∣ing off from prevailing Violence, and because we will not concurr, or stake in with the wicked Act∣ings of an unrighteous Generation; let none of us repine at such Suffer∣ings, but look upon them as Affli∣ons, that are willing to be embra∣ced; yea, rather Triumphantly to be rejoyced in. I humbly desire,

O! Father, that may all trust thee with our selves, and cheerfully rest upon thy Faithfulness, to make up to us any Losses, which shall be∣fal us on such accounts. Thy good Providence is a great and blessed portion in such cases, as, praised be thy Name, thy Saints have found in all times, by joyful Ex∣perience. And to that good Pro∣vidence, O! my God, do I trust. It shall always be my Hope and Confidence; and oh! that as it is the truest Blessing, so it may ever be the happy portion, both of me and mine, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

2. Prayers for the Prisoner for Truth or Righteousness, to use for himself.

1. A Prayer for Deliverance from E∣nemies and Prosecutors, when at any time, or any where, he is put in Prison, for any Parts of Truth, or Righteousness.

O! Merciful God, who art the Helper of the Helpless, and a Refuge for the oppressed in the Day of their Troubles; be thou my Fortress and Help against my Persecutors.

They are mine Enemies, O! Lord, for thy sake; and therefore set themselves thus violently against me, because they cannot drive me to leave thee. And I have no visi∣ble way left to appease their Hatred, because I dare not forsake a jsut Cause, or go along with them in speaking and acting against that which is right. And* 1.4 these mine Enemies are many, and Mighty;

and they persecute me violently, and have laid a Trap for my Soul, and* 1.5 there is none to help me.

But though I can neither appease their Hatred, nor withstand it; yet thou, O! Lord, canst alter it at thy Pleasure; or, if they per∣sist therein, thou canst disappoint them. And to thee do I flee, and look for Succour. Help me there∣fore, O! my Ged, for in thee do I trust. Help thou me, for I have none else to help me, for Deceitful are the Promises, and* 1.6 vain is the help of Men.* 1.7 Make haste to help me, for Trouble is hard at Hand. Turn the Hearts of mine Enemies, for seeking my Life; or, if they will persevere therein, bring to nought their evil Purposes. Forgive them, Gracious Father, and bring not them into such a P••t, as they have digged for me. But Preserve me from falling into it, and from be∣ing lost in the Depth thereof, for my dearest Lord and Saviour, Je∣sus Christ's sake. Amen.

2. A Prayer for Deliverance, from Frail and Faithless Friends, when they are brought in at such Times, to accuse him for the same.

YEA, O! Gracious Father, not only the Envy and Malice of mine Enemies, but the weak∣ness of my own familiar Friends is made use of to destroy me. And a violent Temptation is laid before them, to compass their own Safety, by joyning to compass my Fall.

But the Hearts of all Men, O! Almighty Lord, are in thine Hand. Thou canst at thy Pleasure fortifie the fearful, and fix the wavering, and unresolved Spirit; and give Fidelity, Honour, and Conscience, such Power with them, as shall prevail over their corrupt Fears, and worldly Interests. Thou canst as easily strengthen the weak∣ness of my Friends, and keep them from Breach of Confidence, from all Faithless, or strained and false Accusations; as thou canst turn, or defeat the Malice of my Foes. And to thee, O! merciful Father,

do I trust, that neither my Foes shall have their Wills, in working of my Ruin; nor the weakness of my Friends shall carry them against their Wills, to do the same.

And oh! as thou art my Confi∣dence, so let me be thy Care. Keep me safe here under thy custody, and receive me at last to thine Everlasting Mercy, for thy blessed Son, and my only Saviour Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

3. A Prayer for Graces at such times, under his Sufferings and Persecuti∣ons for any ways of Truth and Righ∣teousness.

IN the mean time, O! Righte∣ous Lord, whatsoever thou hast appointed for me in this Tryal, I am content to bear it. And give me Strength and Ability to bear it; yea, though it proceed to Blood. I resign my self up to thy good pleasure therein. I humbly and meekly submit to it, as it is thy doing, and as it is infinitely my Deserving, and own thy Judgment

upon me for my Sins,* 1.8 to be most Just and Righteous therein. But then, Holy Father, I most earnest∣ly intreat thee, that I may have all my Punishment in this World, but rest with thee in thy Heavenly Kingdom.

Yea, as my Tryal is a Suffering for thy Righteousness, I thankfully receive it at thine Hand. But then, O! my God, whilst I am tried for thee, do thou shew forth thy Power, and the abundance of thy Grace in me. Grant me a Serene Pati∣ence, calmly to bear my Suffer∣ings, and contentedly and quietly to wait the end thereof. Give me Courage and constant Presence of Mind, to behave my self undaun∣tedly; and Prudence, to act and answer in all things, wisely, and becomingly. Give me Faith in thy power and promises, to hold on without Fainting, in sure Expecta∣tion of thy Succors; and to endure all without weariness, in Confidence of thy joyful and eternal Recom∣pences. Fill me with an inflexible Integrity, and Constancy in my

Duty, that I may not waver there∣in at any time, much less fall from it, or from any Precepts there∣of, to rid my self out of my own great Troubles, or to bring any de∣sired Events to pass. Yea, fill me with such Constancy in thy ways, as will* 1.9 not suffer me, how long so∣ever the Rod of the Unrighteous rests upon me, to put forth my Hand unto Iniquity. And give me Charity after thine own Example, O! blessed Je∣s••, freely to forgive my Malicious Enemies, or Frail and Faithless Friends, and heartily to pray for them, tho' they continue to perse∣cute me. Whilst thou keepest on my Trials, deny me not these Gra∣ces, O! merciful Lord, nor any o∣thers, which thou seest needful for me, that I may acquit my self well and acceptably under the same, for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

4. A Prayer for a Mind raised above Earthly Things.

O! Father of Mercies, raise my Mind by these Afflictions, a∣bove

the Love of all Earthly Things. Yea, even of those things, which I have lavishly spent most time upon, and have been the most inordinate∣ly fond of. I see now, and make me daily to see it more and more, how vain and unprofitable they are when the evil day comes. And oh! what I may learn thereby, and learn it perfectly, to fix mine Eyes and Heart on thee, who hast deserved more of me infinitely than I can express to thee; and who canst always help and comfort me; and wilt never leave me, especially not then, when I am driven to thee for Succour, and find the greatest Need to have thee stand by me.

Make my Duty, good Lord, to become my Delight; and Heavenly things, my Treasure. For they are Comforts in Distress; stable Com∣forts, that will accompany us to the Block, or the Grave, and beyond them; and will not fail to make us infinitely, and for ever happy in thy Presence. Which Grant, O! Hea∣venly Father, to me a wretched Sin∣ner, for the sake of my dearest Sa∣viour

and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen.

5. A Prayer for Peace with God, and a qui••t Conscience.

ABove all, O! blessed Lord, let me have the Comforts of thy holy Spirit, and a clear and quiet Conscience, to support me under all these hard Tryals. Shew me all my Sins, and give me Grace intirely to repent of them, and to be per∣fectly set against the same. But as∣sure me at the same time, of thy Mercies towards all true penitent Sinners; and make me see, O! Gra∣cious Father, that for Christ's sake, thou art not only willing, but desi∣rous and joyful to receive them, yea, to* 1.10 run out, and meet them, as the tender Father did the Returning Prodigal.

And as for my Sins, O! God, tho' with the Prodigal, I have gone far, and have lost my self in evil ways; yet by thy Grace, I am come also with him heartily to return from mine Offences. I am weary of my

Sins, and am earnestly desirous to for∣sake them. Tho' I have been lamen∣tably careless in times past; yet now my sincere desire, and full purpose is, to shew a Godly care, and dili∣gent endeavour against the same, for the time to come. And I hum∣bly depend upon thy Grace, and trust to thy precious promises there∣of, to perfect and give strength to my sincere Endeavours.

Look upon me therefore, O! Fa∣ther, and give me the Comfort to look upon my self, as one, who, though he has been an offending, is now become a Returning Son. Lot not my Sins rise up against me, after once I have truly repented of them. Let them not be able to provoke thy wrath, or to trouble my Consci∣ence. But make me know, that how∣ever offensive I was in the ways of my Wickedness, thro' the Blood of thy Son, I am acceptable to thee in the ways of my Repentance. And that my Sins, however provoking, whilst I lay in them; give thee no more provocation, after once I re∣turn from them. Yea, tho' great

and strong in themselves, yet, that after true Repentance, they are not too great for my Saviour's Me∣rits, or for thy Mercies; not too grievous for thy Goodness to forgive, or too strong for thy Grace to cure.

I am ready, O! my God, to return to thy Laws, not only in do∣ing what they call for, but, if thy Will be so, in suffering for the same▪ Yea, if thou callest me to it, I desi∣re not to leave the way of Righte∣ousness for any hazards, but to suf∣fer for it, even unto Blood. And tho' I know, O! Righteous Lord, that it is not enough to die a Mar∣tyr for one precept, if I allow my self at the same time, to live a known Transgressor of others. Yet give me the Comfort to look on Mar∣tyrdom, as a sort of Baptism, as thou, blessed Jesu, wast pleased to * 1.11 style it, when thou spakest of thine own; and, like it, to purge and wash away our Sins, if at the same time, when we are suffering for one Du∣ty, we are inwardly resolved and prepared in Heart, to observe all.

Lord, in the midst of my worldly Troubles, let me have Peace with thee,

and with mine own Conscience. And whilst thy Comforts do refresh my Soul, by thy Grace strengthening me, I shall better bear any other Misery, which thou shalt give my Enemies leave to inflict upon my Body, and persevere faithfully to serve, and patiently to suffer for thee, till thou shalt Graciously take me out of their Hands, to thine Everlasting Rest and Mercy, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

6. A Prayer for Graces needful for him at the Tryal, when he is to be judged for his Stedfastness to Gods Truth or Righteousness.

O! Blessed Lord, if by thy wise ordering, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 I meekly submit, I shall be carried from the place of Cus••ody to the place of Tryal, or of further Examination; do tho vouchsafe to go along with me. When I am question'd, teach me what I shall say, that I may answer so honestly, as not to offend or dis∣honour thee; and so prudently, as not to prejudice my self, nor bring

Trouble on any other Righteous Persons, for their bearing a good Affection to Righteous Things. Give me presence of mind, and clear∣ness of Spirit, in appearing before all Tribunals; and wisdom and rea∣diness in answering all Questions. Let my Carriage be without Fear, or Confusion, or any evil or insin∣cere Arts, in all things acceptable unto thee, and becoming my Per∣son and Condition.

Suffer me not to be made a Sa∣crifice, by the Fears or Forgetful∣ness, the mis-representations, or false Accusations of Witnesses; nor by the Fetches and false colours, of Council; nor by the partiality, or misguided Zeal of Judges and Ju∣ries. Or, if thou hast otherwise de∣termined, and I must fall; enable me, Good Lord, to bear thy Will. And tho' my Blood, which is shed in this Cause, be vile in the sight of Men; let it be acceptable, and of a sweet smell in thy Sight, for my Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

7. Prayers after Sentence of Condemna∣tion is past upon him, for his Stedfast∣ness to the same.

EJACULATIONS.

THE Cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it, Joh. 18. 11.

Not my Will, O! my God, but thine be done, Luk. 22. 42.

Lord, I thank thee, for counting me worthy to receive this Sentence for the sake of thy Righteousness.

Lord! lay not this Sin to their Charge, Acts 7. 60.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Luk. 23. 34.

A short Prayer upon his receiving the Sentence.

LOrd! I meekly submit to this heavy Sentence; yea, I thank thee for it, and Glory in this shame, since it comes upon me for my Love unto thy ways.

And I humbly pray thee, to look upon their Ignorance, for their ex∣cuse;

than upon their Blood-Guilti∣ness, for their punishment. If they understood the ways of thy Righte∣ousness, they would not shed my Blood for keeping stedfast to the same. But now* 1.12 they think, alass! to serve and please thee, by slaying me.* 1.13 Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And bring them timely to see their Errors, and thoroughly to repent thereof. That they, who now in their misguided Zeal for thee are my Enemies; may yet however at length be Lov∣ing and Happy Sharers with me of thine Everlasting Mercies, through the Merits of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

A Longer Prayer afterwards.

O! Righteous Lord, since thou art pleased to call me, to give Testimony to thy Righteousness with my Blood, I am content to do it. Yea, I thank thee, O! Fa∣ther, that thou hast counted me worthy, to lay down my Life for thy sake: But as thou tryest me to

the utmost, s•• strengthen me to the utmost, I most humbly beseech thee, that in this highest, and last Service, I may shew stedfast Faith in thee, and Charity towards my Persecu∣tors, and meet my Death with that constancy and devout Chearfulness, which befits one who is pasing thro' the Red Sea, to the Heavenly Canaan, and laying down his Life for thy Cause.

Tho' I stand Condemned, and vi∣li••ied among Men, for this adherence to thy ways; yet I humbly hope, that thou, O! my God, wilt acquit, and lovingly accept me. And if I have thy Approbation, my Heart shall rejoyce therein, and account it enough for me, whatever the World thinks of me. Shew them their Error, and our Uprightness, O! Lord, in standing firm to these points, for which we suffer. But if we cannot satisfie them, that the way for which they persecute our Souls, is Innocent and Holy; let it however satisfie us, that so it is, and that so it will be ••ou••d and declared by thee, before all thine elect Angels, when t••ou shalt appear

in thy dreadful Majesty, to pass Sen∣tence, both upon our way and theirs.

And to the clearing of that Day, and the Tryal of thy Righteous Tri∣bunal, do we humbly commit our Cause and Sufferings. Where our Hope is, that thou, Blessed Jesu, wilt Graciously own and receive both, tho' they disdainfully reject them. And that thou, Righteous Father, for Jesus sake, wilt both pardon the real Guilt of our other Sins; and o∣penly clear us of the fancied Guilt of these ways, wherewith our Perse∣cutors do falsly asperes thy Truths, and Reproach us. Which grant, O! merciful Lord, that we may all com∣fortably expect in our Lives, and comfortably find at our Deaths, for thy dear Son, and our only Saviour, Jesus Christs sake. Amen.

After this, he may at any time use such of the Prayers as he likes best, in the preceding Office for Sufferers for Righteousness, to exercise and streng∣then his Faith, his Patience, his Cha∣rity, or other Graces, proper for his Circumstances; or to assist him in making Intercessions for others.

8. A Prayer for Dying without Fear.

O! Almighty, and most merciful Father, perfect thy Strength in my Weakness, and support thy Frail, and most unworthy Servant, in this last and greatest Service, which I have now to pay thee, of laying down my Life, and leaving all that is dear unto me in this World, for thy Cause.

Oh! let not me dishonour the Cause and Truths, for which I suffer, by shewing any mis-becoming Fears, or unwillingness to suffer. 'Tis not my mistrust of the Righteousness of this Cause, O! my God; but the Con∣science of my other Sins, and of the common Errors of my Life, from the Rule of thy Holy Command∣ments, which makes me at all afraid to appear at thy Righteous Bar. But cleanse thou me from all my Sins, by the Blood of my dearest Lord, and then I may meet Death with an humble Confidence, and Triumph over it.

I know, O! blessed Lord, that when Sin and Guilt, which are the Sting of Death, are taken out; there

is still an aversion in Nature, which is common to us all, against this Change, and which found place in our Blessed Lord himself.* 1.14 But let the Influences of thy Grace, though not wholly purge off this averseness, yet subdue and over rule it in my Spirit. Possess my Mind more with the Righteousness of the Cause, for which I dye, and with the Blessed∣ness of coming to live with thee for ever after I am dead; than with the pains of Death it self. And whatever Terror it would otherwise strike into me, let it arm my Spirit, and sweeten all, to think that I die for thee, and that I die to be received into thine Eternal Mercy.

Lord! perfect and accept my Re∣pentance, and pardon all my Sins, and give me Patience, and Presence of Mind to the last. Let me die like a Christian, with Faith and Charity, willingly giving up my Life for a Te∣stimony to thy ways, and pouring out my Soul in Devotion towards thee, and in Prayers for my persecutors; till from my Body, it shall pass into the Arms of thy Mercy, and there

be comfortably received by thee, thro' the Merits and Mediation of my only Saviour and Redeemer Je∣sus Christ. Amen.

9. Short Prayers for the Condemned Prisoner for Righteousness, in his last Extremities, or at other times, as he sees cause.

1.

O! Merciful Father, I throw my self upon thy Mercy, and most undeserved Favour, as a poor wretch∣ed Sinner. I infinitely need it, and most earnestly desire it. And I humbly hope for the same, to pardon all the Sins and Follies of my Life, and to accept this Offering of my Death, thro' the abundance of thy Grace, and thro' the sole Merits and Media∣tion of my blessed Lord and only Sa∣viour Jesus Christ, Amen.

2.

LOrd! now the World is casting of me off, I seek to thee to take me in. Do not thou reject me when they do, for I am thy Servant. Re∣ceive me, for I am coming to thee▪ Receive me, for thou callest me.

Receive me lovingly, O! my dear God, for I dearly love thee, and am forsaking all to injoy thee. I have nothing dearer to me in this World, than my Life; and that I am now making thee an humble Present of, and parting with it for thy Cause.

And in this Oblation of my self, be thou pleased, O! blessed Jesu, first to wash me with thy Blood, and to dress me with the Graces of thy Spirit, that I may be an holy and acceptable Of∣fering. And then do thou vouchsafe, O! Holy Father, Graciously to ac∣cept the same, for thy dearest Son, and my dearest Saviour Jesus Christ's sake, Amen.

3.

O! Jesu, forgive me all my Sins, and forgive all my Persecutors, and grant them timely and true Repen∣tance. Now I am suffering for thy Cause let me be sure of thy Support and Assistance. Now I am [* 1.15 brought to dye] for the ways of thy Righteous∣ness, let them have Honour & Service by my Death. Make it to work God∣ly Zeal and Stedfastness in thy Fol∣lowers,

and Relenting and remorse in their Persecutors, and to carry me to those most joyful and happy Man∣sions, which thou hast prepared for all those, who faithfully serve and suffer for thee, in thy Fathers Kingdom. Amen.

10 A Thanksgiving for Deliverance, when he is brought upon his Tryal for the Cause of Righteousness, or for his being set at Liberty.

BLessed be thy Name, O! Al∣mighty Father, who hast deli∣vered me out of the Hands of those who ••ought my Life, and* 1.16 hast set my Feet in a large Room. Thou hast * 1.17 delivered the poor from him that was too strong for him. Thou hast deliver∣ed him, who served thee, and counted not his own Life so dear to him, as the shewing his Love and F••delity unto thy Laws. Thou hast* 1.18 delivered him, because he loved thy Name, and put his whole Trust in thee.

Lord! I will be glad, and rejoyce in thy Salvation. I will ever praise thy Love and Goodness, which is a∣bundant

in kindness and Succors, to∣wards those who fear thee, and are ready to expose their own Pesons in thy Cause. I will ever magnifie thy Faithfulness, which hath not suf∣fered thy Care of me to slacken, nor thy sure word and promises to fail: And I will ever Reverently and Thankfully adore thy Widom, and Power, and Justice, which turn the Councels of the Wicked into Foolish∣ness, and take the crafty in their own Snares; which crown thy Servants Heads with Joy and Glory, but co∣ver their Enemies with Grief and Shame; which shew plainly unto all who are willing to see the same, that it is extream folly to fight a∣gainst thee, and that they are in the sure way of Safety and Happiness, who make thee their Strength, and place their chiefest Security and ad∣vantage in thy good providence and gracious Promises, and in keep∣ing stedfast to thy ways.

And* 1.19 let all those that love thee, O! Lord, rejoyce and be glad in thee. Make them Triumph in thy Righ∣teousness, and trust themselves to

thy Care. But put thine Enemies. and mine in fear, that they may sin no more. And bring them to repent of their persecuting thee and thy Servants, that they may not be brought to suffer for the same in the Day of Vengeance. And keep me ever mindful, O! blessed Father, of this most merciful Deliverance, that I may spend all the Days of that Life, which thou hast now renewed to me, in thy Service; and learn there∣by evermore to trust thee, yea, tho' the Pit be ready to shut her Mouth upon me; and to place my chiefest comfort and safety, in keeping sted∣fast to thy Laws, which will be sure either to make my Sufferings end here in present Deliverance, or to▪ recompence them hereafter with unspeakable and everlasting Joys, throuh the Merits and Mediation of my only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
