A Prayer out of the same Psalm.

O Almighty God, great hath béen thy mercy unto us, that by the voyce of thy Son, thou hast made known unto us the great mysteries of our sal∣vation: O let this thunder never sound in our ears, but let it strike a terrour into our hearts, that we despise not so great Redemption, and let it raise in our eyes a showre of penitent tears, that our sins should crucifie the Son of God.

O let this thy voyce be full of Power and Majesty; powerful, for the conversion of many people, and so full of Majesty, that all the Poten∣tates and wife men of the World fall low, and worship thée; make it of that strength, that they be never able to resist it; and of that effica∣cy, that hey be willing to yield to it: As for those tall and proud Cedars, which obstinately and maliciously refuse to give thée the Honour due to thy Name, break them in pieces, and let them féel thy hand.

But for those who are moved by this thy voyce, divide unto them the flames of thy spiritual fire, that may illuminate and melt, and pu∣risse their blind, hard, and polluted cold hearts; distribute and divide un∣to them the gifts of thy Spirit, subdue their vices by thy Grace: Let Page  74them méet in thy Temple, and alwayes praise thée in the beauty of ho∣liness: Bless them with peace of conscience while they are in this vally of tears and trouble, and receive them at last to an eternal peace in the life to come. Amen.
