fake, forgive us all that is paft; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honour and glory of thy Name, through Jesus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, we beseech thee mercifully hear our prayers, and spare all those who confefs their fins unto thee; that they whose consciences by fin are accused, by thy merciful pardon may be abfolved, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Most mighty God, and

merciful Father, who haft compaffion upon all men, and hateft nothing that thou hast made, who wouldst not the death of a finner, but that he should rather turn from his fin, and be saved; Mercifully forgive us our trespasses; receive and comfort us, who are grieved and wearied with the burden of our fins. Thy property is always to have mercy; to thee only it appertaineth to forgive fins. Spare us there fore, good Lord, spare thy people whom thou hast redeemed; enter not into judgment with thy servants, who are vile earth and miferable finners; but so turn thine anger from us, who meekly acknowledge our

vileness, and defire truly to repent us of our faults; and so make hafte to help us in this world, that we may ever live with thee in the world to come, thro' Jesus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the People say this that followeth, after the Priest.

TURN thou us, O good Lord, and so snall we be turned. Be favourable, O Lord, be favourable to thy people, who turn to thee by contrition, fafting and prayer. For thou art a

merciful God, full of compassion, Long-fuffering, and of great pity, Thou sparest when we deserve punishment, And in thy wrath thinkest of mercy: spare thy people, good Lord, spare them, and let not thine heritage be brought to confufion. Hear us, O Lord, for thy mercy is great, and after the multitude of thy mercies look upon us. Thro the merits and mediation of thy bleised Son, Jesus Chrift our Lord. Amen. Then the Priest alone shall faya THE Lord bless us, and keep us; the Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us, and give us peace, now and for ever.. more. Amen.

ners,

ners, do in this our great distress cry unto thee for help: Save, Lord, or else we perish. We confefs, when we have been fafe, and seen all things quiet about us, we have often forgot thee our God, and refused to hearken to the still voice of thy word, and to obey thy commandments: But now we see how terrible thou art in all thy works of wonder; the great God to be feared above all; And therefore we adore thy divine Majesty, acknowledging thy power, and imploring thy goodness. Help, Lord, and save us for thy mercy's fake, in Jesus Chrift thy Son our Lord. Amen.

Moft glorious and gracious Lord God, who dwellest in heaven, but beholdest all things below; Look down, we beseech thee, and hear us, calling out of the depth of mifery, and out of the jaws of this Death, which is ready now to fwallow us up: Save, Lord, or else we perish. The living, the living shall praise thee. O send thy word of command to rebuke the raging winds, and the roaring sea, that we being delivered from this diftress, may live to serve thee, and to glorify thy Name all

the days of our life. Hear, Lord, and save us, for the merits of our blessed Saviour thy Son, our Lord Jefus Christ. Amen.

The Prayer to be said before a Fight at Sea, against any unjust Enemy.

Most powerful and glorious Lord God, the

Lord of hosts, that rulest and commandeft all things; Thou sitteth in the throne judging right; and therefore we make our address to thy divine Majesty in this our neceffity, that thou wouldst take the cause into thine own hand, and judge between us and our enemies. Stir up thy strength, OLord, and come and help us; for thou givest not alway the battle to the strong, but canst save by many or by few. O let not our fins now cry against us for vengeance, but hear us thy poor fervants begging mercy, and imploring thy help; and that thou wouldst be a defence unto us against the face of the enemy. Make it appear that thou art ourSaviour and mighty deliverer, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
