i_. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_. _After Victory or Deliverance from an Enemy_. _A Psalm or Hymn of Praise and Thanksgiving after Victory_. If the Lord had not been on our side, now may we say: if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us; They had swallowed us up quick: when they were so wrathfully displeased at us. Yea, the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul: the deep waters of the proud had gone over our soul. But praised be the Lord: who hath not given us over as a prey unto them. The Lord hath wrought: a mighty salvation for us. We gat not this by our own sword, neither was it our own arm that saved us: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto us.

And, we beseech thee, give us grace to improve this great mercy to thy glory, the advancement of thy Gospel, the honour of our Sovereign, and, as much as in us lieth, to the good of all mankind. And, we beseech thee, give us such a sense of this great mercy, as may engage us to a true thankfulness, such as may appear in our lives by an humble, holy, and obedient walking before thee all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom with thee and the Holy Spirit, as for all thy mercies, so in p
