O God, it is thou which repellest us, yet we beseech thee con∣found us not before the Nations for our sins, nor suffer us to turn our Backs upon our Enemies, so that they which hate us, spoil our Goods.
Neither suffer us to be eaten up like Sheep, nor scatter us a∣among the Heathen.
Let us not become an open shame to our Enemies, nor a scorn and by-word unto them that are round about us.
Wherefore in these mischievous Wars, and in the midst of our fatal Punishment, we fly unto Thee, saying, Help us, O God of our Salvation, for the Glory of thy Name; O deliver us, and be merciful unto our sins for thy Name sake.
O deal not with us after our sins, neither reward us after our iniquities.
Pour o••t thine Indignation upon the Heathen that know Thee not, and upon the Kingdoms which call not upon thy Name: That all Nations may know the Vengeance of the Blood of thy Seryants that is shed
Consider the mortal Threatnings of our Enemier, that they may be hindered from exercising their Tyranny upon us.
Keep from our Necks the grievous Yoke of Antichristian bon∣dage, and repress the furiousn•••••• of all 〈…〉〈…〉 labour to spoil and make Havock of thy Church; to abolish time Doctrine, Prayers, and pure Religion; and to bring in Idolatry, Errors and Blasphemous Ceremonies.
Defend our Church, Policies, and dwelling Places.
Suffer not our Towns to be reduced into Dens for Tyrants, and other Bloody Nations which hate both thee, and us extreamly.
Arm the right Arm of our Gracious King and Queen, and their Nobles, that they may light for our Laws, Lives and Liberties▪
Teach their Hands to Fight and their Fingers to Battle; ••ncre••se in them an invincible Courage of Mind, that enflamed through the Zeal of thy Religion, they may valiantly withstand their, even thine, Enemies.
Guide thou the Hands of such as fight in the Cause of Religion, and grant them a happy success over all their Enemies. For a King is not saved by the multitude of an Host, neither is the mighty Man delivered by great strength, but the Victory cometh from Heaven.
At thy rebuke, O Lord, both the Chariot and Horse fall down.
Thou wilt take away the Courage of Princes, and are Terrible to the Kings of the Earth.
