rrow and Humiliation? And may we not
fear, if we do not repent, and turn from the evil of our wayes, and return
to the Lord with all our hearts, that he return to do us evil, after He
hath done us good, and be angry with us, until he hath consumed us?

Let us therefore humble our selves by fasting and Praying, let us search
out our sins, and consider our wayes, and confess these, and other our
sins, with Sorrow and Detestation; Let us Turn unto the Lord with fasting
and weeping, and with mourning; Let us firmly resolve and sincerely Engage
to amend our wayes and doings, and return unto the Lord our God, with all
our hearts, and earnestly pray, that for the Blood of the Lamb of God, our
sins may be forgiven, and our back slidings healed, and we may yet become
a Righteous Nation, keeping the Truth, that Religion and Righteousness may

grant to these Nations, Peace and Truth together; And for that End, bless
and prosper His Majesties Councils, and Forces by Sea and Land, and these
of the Princes and States his Allies, for God and his Truth; That inferior
Rulers may Rule in the fear of God and Judges be cloathed with
Righteousness, and that many faithful Labourers may be sent out into the
Lord's Vineyard, and they who are sent, may find mercy to be Faithful, and
be blest with Success; That Families may be as little Churches of Christ,
and that the Lord would pour out His Spirit on all Ranks of People, that
they may be Holy in all manner of Conversation, and God may delight to
dwell amongst us and to do us good.

And while we pray for our selves, let us not forget our Brethren in
Foreign Churches, with whom, alas! we had too little Sympathy; Nay let us
pray, that all the Ends of the Earth, may see the Salvation of God; And
that he would bring His ancient people of the _Jews_ to the Acknowledgment
of Jesus Christ; And that he would hasten the Ruine of Romish Babylon and
advance the Reformation in Christendome, and preserve and bles
