Bellum.

O My God, though mighty Nations gather together on heaps, yet let them be broken in pieces: though they take counsel together, bring it to nought. For though they pronounce a decree, yet it shall not stand, if thou, O God, be with us. Be with us therefore, O God, for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

Blessed be thou, O Saviour of Israel, which didst destroy the assault of the Mighty man, by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the Host of strangers into the hand of Ionathan; shut up this Army in the hand of Israel, and let them be confounded with their power, and with their horsemen. Make them afraid, and consume their boldness and strength, that they may be astonished at their own destruction. Cast them down by the sword of them that love thee; that we which love thy Name may praise thee and sing unto thee. Grant this for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

O Lord of Hosts, give us strength that we may follow on upon our enemies and overtake them, and not return till we have destroyed them. O gird us with strength unto the Battail, that we may smite them that they may not be able to stand, but fall under our feet. And when thou hast thus blessed us, make us fall down at thy feet, and ever worship thee, through Iesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

O make the wars to cease in all the world, break the Bow, and knap the Spear in sunder, and burn the Chariot in the fire; that men may be still and know that thou art God, that thou wilt be exalted among the hea …hen, and in the earth. Amen.

Lord, be not far off, put us not to confusion, but go out with our Armies and prosper them, that we may not turn our backs upon our Enemies, while they that hate us spoil our persons, our honour, and our goods. O sell not us thy poor people for nought; make us not a rebuke to our insolent neighbours, nor a scorn to them that are round about us. Our confusion by reason of our sins is daily before us, and the shame of our face hath covered us. But, Lord, we humbly beseech thee forgive us our sins and deliver us, for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

Hast thou forsaken us, O God? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our Hosts? O help us against the Enemy, for vain is the help of man. O Lord help us. Amen.

O Almighty God, King of Kings, and Governour of all things, whose power no creature is able to resist, to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners, and to be merciful to them that truly repent: Save and deliver us, we humbly beseech thee, from the hands of our Enemies, abate their pride, asswage their malice, and confound their devices, that we being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore from all perils, to glorifie thee who art the only giver of all victory, through the merits of thy only Son our Saviour, Iesus Christ. Amen.

Almighty God, who art a strong tower of defence unto thy servants against the face of their Enemies: We give thee praise and thanks for our deliverance from those great and apparent dangers wherewith we were compassed. We acknowledge it thy great goodness that we were not delivered over as a prey unto them. And we humbly beseech thee to continue such thy mercies towards us, that all the world may know that thou art our Saviour and mighty Deliverer, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, bless the King, all his Commanders under him, and all his Souldiers. Cover all their heads, his especially, in the day of Battail. Teach all their hands to warre, & their fingers to fight. And bless all the Guides and Conductors of his Armies under him, with wisdom and courage, and faithfulness, watchfulness and diligence, and whatsoever else may lead on good success. And set a happy end, we humbly beseech thee, to all these Bloody distractions, and restore Peace and preserve Religion in integrity among us, even for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.
