in doctrine and life, be in all: Cease schismes and warres in the Christian world. Let not them spill one ano∣thers blood for whom thy Sonne shed His. Let there not be many Hearts un∣der one Head, nor more Heads with it, lest they make a Massacre in thy Body, or a Monster of it. O let thy Scepter have obedience, and thine Orders Ob∣servance every where! Suffer none by delusion or depravation of mind, or ambition of Spirit, to pull downe thy Throne, whilst they pretend for thy Scepter, and let confusion and tyranny into the Church whilest they professe to bring in liberty and order, and pull downe thy House, to set up thy Glory. From Violence, avarice, sacriledge, schisme, heresie, Anarchy, tyranny; King of the Church keep us: Do Thou governe us, and let us obey thee; doe Thou save us, and let us serve thee; Even all Christian souls, save through, out the world, Dear Jesus. Amen.
