<P>Let vs pray.</P>
<P>_O Almightie God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the onely God and gouerner of all things: Thou art hee, by whome alone Kings doe reigne: Thou mo&s;t high, beare&s;t the rule ouer all the kingdomes of men: Thou in Chri&s;t thine onely Sonne, being the mo&s;t gracious Father of thy cho&s;en Church, doe&s;t for the comfortable nouri&s;hing of it, di&s;po&s;e the Royall &s;tate among men. Through this thy grace it is come to pa&s;&s;e, that we the Engli&s;h nation now a portion of the &s;ame thy Church, do enioy y^e gouernment of Elizabeth our Qu&eacute;ene, whom thou ha&s;t again&s;t al practi&s;es of thine aduer&s;aries deliuered out of perills: and by thy mightie hand brought to raigne ouer vs. Mercifully guiding her, thou ha&s;t made her vnto vs a mother, to thine afflic|ted flock a nource: in that benefite which we haue in libertie of true Religion and com|mon peace. Merueilou&s;ly protecting her, thou ha&s;t kept her to defend vs, to v&s;e &amp; holde <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="faint" EXTENT="1 line"> as purpo&s;es to &s;poyle her of vs, vs of her, and both her and vs of thy Religion, and of peace, determining to deliuer vs ouer, to the tyranny of that &s;hamele&s;&s;e &s;infull man of Rome, and the bloudy &s;word. In which purpo&s;e of mi&s;chief: if thou hadde&s;t permitted them to preuayle, w&eacute;e had &s;uffe|red for our &s;innes at thy hand O Lord, mo&s;t iu&s;tly, but at their hands mo&s;t vnkindly, vnnaturally and vniu&s;tly. For we doe offend thy maie&s;tie many wayes, we offend not them any wayes: Yet &s;uch is their waywardnes, that they do hate vs, yea &s;uch is their wickednes that they will hate vs, only becau&s;e we in trueth doe profe&s;&s;e, to &s;erue th&eacute;e. For this cau&s;e they con&s;pire again&s;t thee, O God, like hipocrites, again&s;t our Qu&eacute;ene like Traitors, again&s;t our common countrey like &s;poylers, again&s;t vs euen as Cain did again&s;t Abel. But thy great goodnes hath deui&s;ed better for vs, then they do: Thou ha&s;t &s;pared vs, whom they would haue &s;poyled. Thy wi&s;dom hath vnfolded their wic|kednes. Thy prouidence hath preuented their purpo&s;e. All honor, pray&s;e, with thanks in the congregation, and by euery member thereof be giuen to th&eacute;e, O God of grace, O Lorde of pittie, O father of mercie for euer and euer. And now we be&s;&eacute;ech th&eacute;e, O mercifull father, be not prouoked with our &s;innes to giue vs ouer to the lu&s;t of our en|nemies: do not make vs a reproch to the&s;e heathen. Let not the Iewe, the Turke, the Papi&s;t in our ouerthrow triumph again&s;t thee, &s;aying: Where is now their God? but of thy riche mercie in Chri&s;t forgiue our &s;innes, by thy renuing &s;pirite amende vs, and worke out the good worke which thou ha&s;t begon among vs. Confound and bring to naught the attemptes of the&s;e and the like enemies, as thou dide&s;t at Babel. Infold them in the folly of their owne coun&s;els, as thou dide&s;t Achitophel. By thine Angell &s;inite their force, as thou dide&s;t to Senacheribe. In their de&s;perate attemptes let them be browned, as was Pharao. In their trea&s;ons ouertake them, as thou dide&s;t Ab&s;a|lon. If any of them are to be conuerted, turne them as thou dide&s;t Mana&s;&s;es. Other|wi&s;e let them feele their due puni&s;hment: as did Dathan with his con&s;pirators, that of the&s;e al&s;o may be left an example of thy iu&s;tice to the po&s;teritie. We do likewi&s;e mo&s;t humbly be&s;&eacute;ech th&eacute;e to continue thy goodnes towards vs euen of thine old wonted mer+cie. Deliuer our Qu&eacute;ene Elizabeth fro~ euill: Direct her in the true knowledge of th&eacute;e, to acknowledge thy benefites towards her, and her duetie towards th&eacute;e: Kindle more and more in her hart zeale to &s;erue th&eacute;e her &s;elfe, and to haue th&eacute;e &s;erued of vs &s;incere|ly. Guide her &s;til to gouerne vs iu&s;tly in godly peace. Giue vnto vs al&s;o which are &s;ub|iectes, thankefull heartes to th&eacute;e, faithfull to her in th&eacute;e, charitable towardes all men, that all which liue vnder her gouernement, Coun&s;ellers, Mini&s;ters, and euery other in their place and calling, may be throughly &s;anctified in holines to liue before th&eacute;e. Thus prolonging her raigne ouer vs, doe thou in it plant thy Religion among and in vs, &s;o that it may with power reforme and rule vs, and remaine to our po&s;teritie after vs, that the prai&s;e of thy name may continue in the Heartes and Mouthes of the Engli&s;h nation, that England may &s;ay for euer: The Lord be prai&s;ed. Amen.</P>
<CLOSER>God &s;aue our Queene Elizabeth, and confound all her enemyes. Amen.</CLOSER>
