¶ Collect or Prayer, against Revenge.
O Thou to whom vengeance be∣longeth, keepe me from a re∣vengefull spirit, that I fall not into the hands of thy vengeance! And since my pitty, and patience, and pardon is thy will, let me not study revenges, and returnes of injuries!
Thou (O meek and mercifull Savi∣our) didst pray for thy bloody ene∣mies! O let me then forgive my grea∣test foes! Committing my cause to thee, who wilt doe justice for me on them, if I seek not revenge, and for thy self upon me, if I doe!
Thine O Lord, is the sword of ven∣geance,
descriptionPage 213
& thine is the sharpest sword! O let me not dare to take it out of thy hand, lest whilst I strike others, I fall justly by thy sword! Though flesh and blood provoke me to it, let thy holy Spirit hold me from it; & cast & keep out of me that evil spirit by thy power O good God and Saviour, of thy mer∣cy! Amen.
