A Prayer for the Church of Christ Mi∣litant here on Earth.

O Most Holy, Everliving, and for ever blessed Lord God, who hast commanded us to make Prayers and Supplications for all men; we beseech thee inspire continually the universal Church with the Spirit of Truth, that it may be guided and governed by thy good Word and Spi∣rit; that all those that profess and call themselves Christians, may adorn their profession with a Christian con∣versation in godliness and honesty, that they may hold the Truth in Righteousness, and that they may hold the unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace, and in Righteousness of Life. We beseech thee also to save and defend all Christian Kings, Princes and Governours; make them according to thy promise Nursing Fa∣thers and Incouragers of Truth and Piety, more especially thy Servant

and our Soveraign Charles our King, that under him we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty; bless His Council, let them be instruments of thy honour here, and partakers of Eternal Glory hereafter; be gracious to those that rule in Spiritual Concerns, the Reve∣rend Bishops, Pastors and Curates, that they may be burning and shining Lights, both in their Lives and Do∣ctrine, to adorn the Glorious Go∣spel of God and our Saviour; deli∣ver thy Captives, comfort thine af∣flicted, and gather thy scattered for the sake of thy Son, and our Re∣deemer, Amen, Amen.
