OFfer unto the Lord Thanksgiving:Psal. l. 14. and pay thy Vows unto the most High.

An Offering of a free heart will I give thee:Psal. liv. 6. and praise thy Name, O Lord.

O Give thanks unto the Lord,Psal. cv. ver. 1. and call upon his Name: tell the people what things he hath done.

Give the Lord the honour due unto his Name:xxlx. 2. worship the Lord with holy worship.

Glory be to the Father, &c.

As it was in the beginning, &c.

O Almighty and everlasting Lord God of hea­ven and earth, who madest the World and all that is therein, and givest to all men life and breath and all things; We devoutly offer our most hearty thanks to thy Divine Majesty, that thou hast given our Dread Sovereign his hearts desire, and hast not denied us the request of our lips, in blessing him and our Gracious Queen with a Son, and all his Subjects with a Prince: Stablisly the thing; O God, that thou hast wrought among us. Grant the Princely Infant health, strength, and long life, that he may grow up to live in thy fear, and to thy glory, and to ex­cell in all virtues becoming his high Birth, and the Royal Dignity to which thou hast ordained him. O prepare thy loving mercy and faithful­ness, that they may ever preserve him, for the ho­nour of thy Name, and the establishment of the pence, security and happiness of these Nations from generation to generation, and this we beg [Page] for Iesus Christ his sake our only Mediatour and Redeemer. Amen.

O Most powerful and glorious God, who art wonderful in all the mysterious acts of thy Providence, and adorable in the various distri­butions of thy justice and mercy to the children of men; We meekly humble our selves, and fall low before the footstool of thy grace, rendring thee all worship and thanks, that, although for our manifold sins most justly provoking thee, thou in thy wrath hast heretofore taken from us so many of the Royal Progeny, yet in the midst of judgment thou hast remembred mercy, and according to thy continual goodness hast revived our hopes, and begun to repair our former losses, by renewing fruitfulness to the Queen, and giving birth to a Royal Prince. We beseech thee, O Lord, give the King and all his People, such a due sense of this thy mercy, that our de­vout and thankful acceptance, and right use of it, may divert thy judgments for the future, and in­cline thee to bestow more such publick blessings upon us. So we who are thy people will reioyce evermore, in every thing giving thanks unto thee, through our only Mediatour and Advocate Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord our Governour, whose Name is excel­lent in all the World, and who art king for ever and ever: We praise and bless thy Divine Goodness, for all the marvellous Protections, and signal Favours, thou hast vouchsafed thy Ser­vant our Gracious King JAMES: particularly that after thou hadst preserved him from the dangers of War, from the rage of the Sea, and from the madness of the People, thou didst in thy due time bring him to great honour, by set­tling him on the Throne of his Ancestors, and hast now enlarged thy Blessings towards him, by this happy increase of the Royal Issue: We most humbly beseech Thee, to continue and mul­tiply these thy mercies to Him and Vs: That thou would'st give him Sons to grow up as the young plants, and that his daughters may be as the polish'd Corners of the Temple. Bless, O Lord, the whole Royal Family, with the bles­sings of the Heavens above, with the blessings of the Deep beneath, with the blessings of the Breasts and of the Womb: That when the [Page] King's days shall be fulfilled, and he shall sleep with his Fathers in Peace and Glory, his Seed may be set up after him, and his House and Kingdom may be establish'd for ever before Thee. Grant this, O Lord, for Iesus Christ his sake our only Saviour. Amen.
