The History of the Reformation of the Church of Scotland

Pour forth thy vengeance upon them,¹ and let our eyes behold the blood of thy Saints required of their hands: Delay not thy vengeance,² O Lord, but let death devour them in haste: Let the earth swallow them up, and let them go down quick to the hells: For there is no hope of their amendment;³ the fear and reverence of thy holy Name is quite banished from their hearts,⁴ and therefore yet again, O Lord, consume them; consume them in thine anger, and let them never bring their wicked counsels to effect; but according to the godly powers, let them be taken in the snare which they have prepared for thine elect: Look upon us, O Lord, with the eyes of thy mercy, and show pity upon us thy weak and sore oppressed Flock: Gather us yet once again to the wholesome treasures of thy most holy Word, that openly we may confess thy blessed Name within the Realm of England. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Christ Jesus thy sons sake. Amen.
