A PRAYER OF THANKS∣giving for His MAJESTIES Victory over the Rebells at Edge-hill.

O Thou God of Hosts, who goest forth with our Armies, and pleadest the cause of thine Anoynted against them that trive with him, We acknowledge with all lowlinesse of mind, that it is not our sword, nor the multitude or Our Host that hath saved us, but it is thy hand alone that hath disposed of Victory to thy servant the King, that hath co∣vered His head in the day of Battaile, and hath kept His Crowne from being thrown down to the ground: Not unto us therefore, not unto us, but unto thee, O God, do We give the praise, beseeching thee to accomplish the great work thou hast begunne for us, to continue the bles∣sings of good successe on the head of our Sove∣raigne, and on His Army, that the happinesse thereof may flow from thence to the very skirts

of His People; to continue the fear and conster∣nation which thou hast already cast upon the Hearts of those who have Rebelliously risen up against Him, to enfeeble their strength, to infa∣tuate their Counsels, to undeceive and disabuse the seduced part of them, that they may know and feele, that to take up Armes against thy Vice∣gerent, is to fight against heaven, that so by a timely and conscientious submission to the just Authority of him whom thou hast set over them, the effusion of more blood may be prevented, the Peace of this distracted Kingdom setled, Faction may be cast out of the State, and Schisme out of the Church, to the advancement of thy glory, the Kings honour, and the Peoples good. Grant this, O God, for thy old mercies sake, which thou wert wont to show unto this Nation, that both Prince and People may joyne in giving praise to thee, who livest and raignest world without end. AMEN.
