Political satire, English
O ALMIGHTY God, who art a strong tower of
defence unto thy servants against the face of
their enemies; We yield thee praise and thanksgiving
for the wonderful deliverance of these kingdoms from
the GREAT CONSPIRACY, and all the Miseries
and Oppressions consequent thereupon. We acknow-
ledge it thy goodness, that we are not utterly deli-
vered over as a prey unto our enemies; beseeching
thee still to continue such thy mercy towards us, that
all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and
mighty deliverer. _Amen._
_After the Prayer for the King, the Priest may say
thus._
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all
the days of thy vanity, which he hath given thee
under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is
thy portion in _this_ life, and in thy labour which thou
takest under the sun. _Eccl_. ix. 9.
So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. _Eph._
v. 28.
{064}
Let every one of you in particular so love his wife
even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
her husband. _Eph_. v. 33.
It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth
her to commit adultery. _Matt_. v. 31,32.
_The Collect for God's protection of the Queen against
all her enemies._
MOST gracious God, we most humbly beseech
thee to protect thy Servant CAROLINE, our
beloved Queen, from all the dangers to which she may
be exposed; Hide her from the gathering together
of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked
doers; Do thou weaken the hands, blast the designs,
and defeat the enterprizes of all her enemies; that no
secret conspiracies, nor open violences, may disquiet
her; but that, being safely kept under the shadow of
thy wing, and supported by thy power, she may tri-
umph over all opposition; that so the world may
acknowledge thee to be her Defender and mighty.
Deliverer in all difficulties and adversities. _Amen._
_This may also be said._
