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

We have not with ¹due holiness and reverence drawn near Thee, and used thy holy Name, thy Worship, and thy Day: We have dishonoured and disobeyed our Superiors, and neglected our Inferiors. We have been guilty of not loving our Neighbours as our selves, and not doing to others, as we would they should do to us, but have sought our own against their welfare, not forbearing, and forgiving, not loving our enemies, as we ought, nor following peace, nor studying to do good to all according to our power. We have sinned secretly and openly, in thought, word and deed, ignorantly and presumptuously, in passion, and upon deliberation, against thy Precepts, Promises, and Threats; against thy mercies and thy judgements, under thy patience, and in thy sight, against our consciences, our purposes, and our covenants; when we were hasting to death and judgement, for which, through all our lives we should have prepared; Thou hast commended thy wonderful love towards us in giving thy Son to dye for sinners, to reconcile us to Thee while we were enemies; and all things being made ready, thou hast sent thy Messengers to invite us to come in, preaching to us the glad tidings of salvation, and freely offering us pardon and life in Jesus Christ, but we have made light of it, and neglected this great Salvation, and made excuses or too long delays; undervaluing our Redeemer, his blood and merits, his offered grace, and endless glory, rejecting his holy Doctrine and Example, resisting his Spirit, Ministers, and Wrod. We have sinned, O Lord, against Thee, and against our own souls, and are not worthy to be called thy children: We have deserved everlasting wrath; to us belongeth confusion, but mercy and forgiveness unto Thee. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to the multitude of thy Mercies. Heal our souls that have sinned against Thee, and enter not into judgement with thy servants. Hide thy face from our sins, and blot out all our iniquities. Cast us not away from thy presence, and avenge not upon us the quarrel of thy Covenant. Wash us in the blood of the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world. Accept us in thy Beloved Son, who was made a curse for us, and was wounded for our transgressions, that we might be healed by his stripes. Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy face to shine upon us. Give us Repentance unto life;
