Giving Glory to the Great Majesty of God, the Creator, Preserver, and Supreme Ruler of all the World, the better to affect us thereby with an holy reverence and awe of Him. Acknowledging his manifold, great, and tender mercies, especially to the Church and Nation, the more effectually to soften, and abase our hearts before him. Humbly confessing of sins of all sorts, with their several aggravations: justifying Gods righteous Judgements, as being far less then our sins do deserve; yet humbly and earnestly imploring his mercy and grace for our ⟨p. 77⟩selves, the Church, and Nation, for our King, and all in Authority, and for all others for whom we are bound to pray (according as the present exigent requireth) with more special importunity and enlargement then at other times. Applying by faith, the Promises and Goodness of God, for Pardon, help, and deliverance from the Evils felt, feared, or deserved; and for obtaining the blessings which we need and expect; together with a giving up of our selves wholly and for ever unto the Lord.
