A petition for peace with the reformation of the liturgy, as it was presented…

That you may perform this service to God with understanding, you must know, that God having made man in his own Image, to love, and serve him, our first Parents wilfully corrupted themselves by sin, and became the Children of Death, and the Captives of Satan, who had overcome them by his temptation; And as by one man sin entered into the World, and death by sin, so death passed upon all, for that all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God. We are conceived in sin, and are by nature children of wrath. For who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean. By the offence of one, Judgement came upon all men to condemnation. But the infinite Wisdom and Love of the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the World. The Word was made Flesh, and dwelt on Earth, and overcame the Devil and the World; Fulfilled all Righteousness, and suffered for our sins upon the Cross, and rose again, and reigneth in Glory, and will come again, and judge the World in Righteousness; In him God hath made and offered to the World a Covenant of Grace, and in it the Pardon of sin to all true Penitent Believers; and power to be the Sons of God, and Heirs of Heaven; This Covenant is extended to the seed also of the Faithful, to give them the benefits suitable to their age, the Parents dedicating them unto God, and entering them into the Covenant, and so God in Christ will be their God, and number them with his People.
