And as we are specially and extraordinarily bound at this time, we humbly and heartily thank thee, for the safe and comfortable return of our gracious Prince CHARLES. It hath been from thy great mercy and goodness, ⟨p. 164⟩that thou hast gone in and out before him, and walked by him in his most dangerous journey, and kept him in all his ways. That thou hast been a brazen wall and fiery pillar about him, both by Land and Sea, and preserved him, from every hurtful snare both of soul and body, and broughtst him with peace and comfort again unto his Fathers house. Blessed and bountiful LORD GOD, we heartily praise and magnify, we humbly admire and adore, the length, ⟨p. 165⟩and breadth and height and depth of thy free grace and love therein to thy Church and Gospel and all that are true of heart. Enlarge our hearts, we pray thee, with all heartiness and truth to bless thy great and holy Name, the fountain of all bliss, the author of all our good, the wellspring of immortality and life wherein we live and move and have our being, both natural, spiritual and eternal. And good LORD go on with that glorious and happy work of blessing ⟨p. 166⟩him still, so settle and establish the fear of thy great Name and truth of our blessed Religion in his Princely heart, that he may stand therein like Mount Zion, and never be removed. So guide and direct, by thine own merciful hand all those great affairs, which any ways concern him, and with wisdom from the breast of the everlasting counsel of the LORD JESUS, that he may hereafter prove a glorious and renowned Instrument for the advancement of the Gospel
