O Lord God, who hast justly humbled us by thy late plague of
immoderate rain and waters, and in thy mercy hast relieved and
comforted our souls by this seasonable and blessed change of
weather: We praise and glorify thy holy Name for this thy mercy,
and will always declare thy loving-kindness from generation to
generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_For Plenty_.
O most merciful Father, who of thy gracious goodness hast heard
the devout prayers of thy Church, and turned our dearth and
scarcity into cheapness and plenty: We give thee humble thanks
for this thy special bounty; beseeching thee to continue thy
loving-kindness unto us, that our land may yield us her fruits of
increase, to thy glory and our comfort; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen_.
_For Peace and Deliverance from our Enemies_.
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 our deliverance from those great and apparent
dangers wherewith we were compassed: We acknowledge it thy goodness
that we were not delivered over as a prey unto them; beseeching
thee still to continue such thy mercies towards us, that all the
world may know that thou art our Saviour and mighty Deliverer;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_For restoring Public Peace at Home_.
O eternal God, our heavenly Father, who alone makest men to be of
one mind in a house, and stillest the outrage of a violent and
unruly people: We bless thy holy Name, that it hath pleased thee
to appease the seditious tumults which have been lately raised up
amongst us: most humbly beseeching thee to grant to all of us grace,
that we may henceforth obediently walk in thy holy commandments;
and leading a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and
honesty, may continually offer unto thee our sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving for these thy mercies towards us; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_For Deliverance from the Plague, or other common Sickness_.
O Lord God, who hast wounded us for our sins, and consumed us for
our transgressions, by thy late heavy and dreadful visitation; and
now, in the midst of judgement remembering mercy, hast redeemed
our souls from the jaws of death: We offer unto thy fatherly
goodness ourselves, our souls and bodies which thou hast delivered,
to be a living sacrifice unto thee, always praising and magnifying
thy mercies in the midst of thy Church; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen_.
_Or this_.
