attempts of our enemies to bereave us of our Religion and wisdom and justice of thy Pro-Laws: We most humbly praise and magnify thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable goodness towards us, expressed in both these acts of thy mercy.

posed in our extreme danger,

thee, give us such a lively and
lasting sense of what thou didst

done for us, that we may not

obedience, by presuming upon

Let the consideration of this thy repeated goodness, O Lord, work in us true repentance, that iniquity may not be our ruin. And increase in us more and more a lively faith and love, fruitful in all holy obedience; that thou mayest still continue thy favour, with the light of thy Gospel, to us and our posterity for evermore; and that for thy dear Son's sake, Jesus Christ our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

ALMIGHTY God and heavenly Father, who of thy gracious Providence, and tender inercy towards us, didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our enemies, by discovering and confounding their horrible and wicked enterprize, plotted and intended this day to have been executed against the King, and the whole State of England, for the subversion of the Government and Religion established among us; and didst likewise upon this day wonderfully conduct thy Servant King William, in authority under him, with and bring him safely into Eng-judgement and justice to cut off land, to preserve us from the all such workers of iniquity, as
