To be used in all Churches and Chappells . OXFORD , Printed by LEONARD LICHFIELD , Printer to the Vniversity . M.DC.XLIV . A PRAYER FOR THE KING . O Lord God , infinite in Power , by whom the Thrones of Kings are established , and their Persons made Sacred ; Take , we beseech thee , into thy immediate and Divine protection thine annointed servant the King , that no Sacrilegious prophane hand may come neere to touch him : In all his wayes let thy Spirit guide him , and thy holy Angells pitch their Tents about Him ; Comfort him in his troubles , defend him in his dangers , support him in his Cause , blesse him in the happy Delivery of his QUEENE , in the safety of the PRINCE , in the confusion of all those that rise up against him ; shew some token on him for good , even now , O God , when the Sonnes of Violence are in the highest of their Pride , when they have joyned Nation to Nation , Covenant to Covenant , and Army to Army to pull down Him whom thou hast exalted , and to roote out that Religion which thine own right hand hath planted . Defeat their Purposes , O thou preserver of men , and let not their mischeivous imaginations any longer prosper ; but blast all their Counsells , wither away their Armies like grasse scorched by the Sunne , bow downe , at last , their stiffe necks , and obdurate hearts to a desire of that Peace which hath so long been an abomination to them ; That this miserable Nation may no further pursue their own Ruine , and take pleasure in shedding their owne blood ; but being by so many bitter punishments made sensible of thy Anger for this unnaturall Division , may at last be reduced within their first obedience , to the Glory of thy Name , the vindication of our defamed Religion , the Ioy of our afflicted King , and the happinesse of this yet bleeding Kingdom . And confirme all this to us , O Lord , by the merits , and through the mediation of thine owne deare Sonne Jesus Christ our Lord . Amen . A Prayer for the Preservation of this Vniversity and City . O Almighty God , who art the onely sure Refuge and strong Tower of defence to all them that put their trust in thee , receive our humble Petition ; Save this City , This Nursery of thy Church , and thy afflicted People , from the hand of their Enemies . We know that unlesse thou keep the City , the Watchman watcheth but in vaine ; unlesse thou defend us , our Foundations , which are laid in dust , cannot stand firme . We acknowledge our owne weaknesse , and that which makes us weaker , our sinfull demerit ; But thou art both the Lord of Hosts and Prince of Peace , able to destroy the strongest Army with an Army of most despicable Creatures , with things of nothing , with sudden weaknesse and follies , with a Rumour or Imagination . Thou canst bring us to the brink of destruction , and call us back againe ; Look downe therefore , most mercifull Lord , upon this Place , and according to thy wonted goodnesse resist the Proud , and give grace to the humble that runne to the shadow of thy wings for succour : Thou that stillest the raging of the Sea and the madnesse of the People , say to the one as to the other , hither shall thy proud waves come and no further . Suffer not the purpose of our Oppressors to stand , nor their Counsells to prosper , nor their Force to prevaile ; But set thy hook into their nostrills , to turne them back , or confound them , according to thy good pleasure and secret wisedome by which thou disposest all Events beyond the meanes and reach of man ; But arme thy lowly servants with Faith and Patience , raise our Spirits , guide our Consultations , strengthen our Hands , help our wants , blesse our endeavours with successe ; That we being delivered like them that dreame , may praise thee as men awaked out of dust ; and having seen and escaped thy Rod , may serve thee ever hereafter with true obedience , through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour . Amen . FINIS .
