Prayer against the Plague.
O Lord! Pestilence is thy Ar∣row, and my sins have made mee thy marke; nor canst thou misse me in thy justice: But spare me, Lord spare me in thy mercy! Though I deserve the stroke for my selfe, spare me for my Saviours sake; let his innocency be my shield, and his blood my antidote: (O Lord, I have, I wish no other antidote or shield!) By the soveraigne and all-sa∣ving merits of his I beseech thee, par∣don my sinne, and spare my life.
Spare my soule, that it may better serve thee: spare my body that it may better serve my soule: spare my heart, that I may keepe it more carefully for thee: spare my blood, that my spirits may be more active to serve thee.
And as I pray Pestilence from my body, so I beseech thee keep it from my soule. Preserve me from the house, and shield me from the chaire of pesti∣lence.
descriptionPage 77
As from infected Bodies, so from Spirits, which breath errors and vices, pests and plagues of souls: From all mutuall diseases defend me, Body and Soule; but from those fearfull ones, above all, I beseech thee. And all those thou hast made neare and deare unto me, deare Saviour doe it for thy mercies sake. Amen.
