† 2. Prayer before an Engagement.

O Lord our God, to whom Vengeance be∣longeth, who beholdest ungodliness and wrong and cruelty and oppression; thou Lord of Hosts and God of Battels, who sittest upon thy Throne and judgest right. We make our Address to thee in our Necessity, that thou would'st take the Cause into thy own Hand, and judge between us and our Ene∣mies. Stir up thy Strength, Lord, and come and help us; for thou givest not always the Battel to the strong, but canst save by many or by few. O let not our Sins now cry against us for Vengeance, but hear us thy poor Ser∣vants begging Mercy, and imploring Help; and that thou would'st be a Defence unto us, against the face of our Enemy. Make it appear, that thou art our Saviour, and mighty Deli∣verer, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
