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

And because when there is leisure, the Prayers of the Church should be as full as the Rule and our Necessities require; let the following General Prayer be used, when the Ministers findeth it convenient instead of the Litany and Collects.

And because when there is leisure, the Prayers of the Church should bee as full as the Rule and our Necessities require; let the following General Prayer bee used, when the Ministers findeth it convenient instead of the Letany and Collects.

Here are also adjoined a Thanksgiving for Christ and his benefits, and a Hymn to be used at the discretion of the Minister either after Sermon, or at the Communion, or on other days. A Prayer for the King, the Royal Family, and Magistrates. Almighty God, by whom Kings reign, and Princes decree ¹Justice, who rulest in all the Kingdoms of men, and givest them to whomsoever thou wilt, who by thy special Provident hast set over us thy Servant Charles our King: Crown him with thy ⟨p. 37⟩Blessings, and satisfy him with thy Goodness. Save him by thy right hand, and defend him against such as rise up against him; prolong his life in Peace and Righteousness, grant him the Spirit of Wisdom and Counsel, the Spirit of Holiness, and the fear of the Lord, that he may know how to go in and out before this great People over whom thou hast set him. Let not thy Law depart out of his mind, or mouth, but let him meditate in it day and night. Make him as an Angel of God to discern between good and evil, that in his eyes a vile person may be contemned, due he may honour them that fear the Lord; that his eyes may be upon the faithful of the Land, that they may dwell with him, and they that are perfect in the way serve him; Remove the Wicked from before him, that his Throne may be established in Righteousness, and grant that under him we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and Honesty. And when he hath finished his course on Earth, let him inherit a Crown of Righteousness, and reign with Christ for ever. Bless the Queen Mother, the Illustrious Prince James Duke of York, and the rest of the Royal Family, endue them with thy Holy Spirit, enrich them with thy heavenly Grace, and make them blessings in their Generation. Endue the Lords of His Majesties Counsel, and all the Nobility, the Judges, and all the Magistrates of the Land with Wisdom from above, that they may rule as in thy fear, and judge Righteous Judgement, and may take heed what they do, as judging not for man, but for the Lord, that Justice may run down as Water and Righteousness, as a mighty stream; Let all His Majesties Subjects duly submit to him and obey him, not only for wrath, […] for conscience sake;
