A FORM of PRAYER and THANKSGIVING, to be Used immediately before the General Thanksgiving, in all Churches and Chappels within the Cities of London and Westminster, and Ten Miles about London.

ALmighty God, the Sove­reign Commander of all the World, in whose hand is power and might, which nothing is able to with­stand; It is to thee alone that we owe our Deliver­ance from those many and great Dangers wherewith we were so lately Encom­passed. It is thou alone that commandest the Winds and the Seas, and they obey thee: Thou takest the crafty in their own Counsels, and turnest the wisdom of the wise into foolish­ness.

But (Oh our God) as if this were a small thing with thee, thou hast not only saved us from our Enemies, but hast delivered them into our hands, and given their Majesties Fleet a most Signal and Glorious Victory over them. Blessed be God who hath not turned away our Prayer, nor his Mercy from us, notwithstanding our many and great Provocations; Therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name be the Glory. And give us (we beseech thee) that blessed fruit of all thy wonderful Mercies, that we may turn every one from the evil of his way, and may live as a People that have been the particular and visible care of thy Providence: That so thou mayest still delight to do us good, and that-out Arms by Sea and Land may be successful to the Esta­blishing of Truth and Peace in this and the Neighbouring Nations; to the Glory of thy great Name, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
