To whō that he so much vouchsafe we may, Thus as a member of his Church, I pray
Lord at thy mercy seat our selves we gather,
To doe our duties unto thee Our Father.
To whom all praise, all honour should be given:
For thou art that great God
which art in heaven.
Thou by thy wisdome rul'st the worlds whole frame
For ever therefore, Hallowed be thy Name.
Let never more delayes devide us from
Thy glories view, but let Thy kingdome come.
Let thy commands opposed be by none,
But thy good pleasure, and Thy will be done.
And let our promptnesse to obey, be even
The very same in earth, as 'tis in heaven.
Then for our selves, O Lord, we also pray,
Thou woul'st be pleased to Give us this day,
That food of life wherewith our soules are fed,
Contented raiment, and our daily bread.
With ev'ry needfull thing doe thou relieve us:
And of thy mercy, pitty And forgive us
All our misdeeds in him whom thou didst please,
To take in offering for our trespasses.
And for as much, O Lord, as we beleeve,
Thou so wilt pardon us, as we forgive:
Let that love teach us, wherewith thou acquaints us,
To pardon all them, that trespasse against us.
And though sometimes thou find'st we have forgot
This love, or thee; yet helpe, And leade us not.
Through soule or bodies want, to desperation
Nor let aboundance, drive into temptation,
Let not the soule of any true Beleever,
Fall in the time of tryall: But deliver
Yea save him from the malice of the devill;
And both in life and death keepe us from evill.
Thus pray we Lord: And but of thee, from whom
Can this be had? For thine is the kingdome.
The world is of the workes the graven story,
To thee belongs the power, and the glory.
And this thy happinesse hath ending never;
But shall remaine for ever, and or ever.
This we confesse, and will confesse agen,
Till we shall say eternally, Amen.
Thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
Deut. 69.
