A FORM of PRAYER to be Used next after the General Thanksgiving, in all Churches and Chapels within the Cities of London and Westminster, and elsewhere within the Bills of Mortality, immediately after His Majesties Return; and to be Continued for a Fortnight.
O Most Gracious God, who, of thy infinite Goodness, hast preserved our Sovereign Lord the King from many Dangers abroad, and brought him back to us in Safety with Honour and Renown, having made him the happy Instrument of Restoring Peace to many Nations; We beseech thee to fill our hearts with unfeigned thankfulness for so great [Page 4] Blessings. Give us grace to make a right and pious Vse of them: Lest thy Iudgments, we have so long deserved, should yet fall upon us. Continue, we pray thee, his Sacred Person under the watchful Care of the same good Providence. Protect him from the Treachery and Violence of Evil Men. Finish, O Lord, and Establish, in thy good time, the great Work thou hast begun by him. Grant, that under him, we may long enjoy the blessed fruits of Peace, and true Religion; and that Destructions may come to a perpetual End: that Truth, Righteousness and Mercy may flourish in all the Earth, to the glory of thy great Name, through Iesus Christ our blessed Saviour and Redeemer.
Amen.
