O Hold thou up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Amen.

Subveni Domine mi Jesu, & accingere gladium tuum circa femur Potentissime. Omnium Potentissime egredere: Occide me in me, ut vivam in te, & desinant inimici persequi me. Amen.

O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth greatly after thee, in a barren and dry land, where no water is. O satisfie this thirst with thy freshest waters of comfort, in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord, have mercy upon me; I have waited for thee: Be thou my arm in the morning, and my help in the time of trouble: that I may exalt thy Name which dwellest on high, that I may live in the stability of thy times, and that thy fear may be my treasure, even for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

O Almighty God and merciful Father, grant, I beseech thee, that as I do believe thy only Son our Lord to have ascended into the heavens; so I, and all thy faithful Servants, may in heart and mind thither ascend, and with thee continually dwel. Amen.

O God, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Iesus Christ with great triumph into thy Kingdom in heaven, I beseech thee leave neither thy Church, nor my poor self comfortless; but send us thy Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place, whither our Saviour Christ is gone before, who liveth and raigneth with thee, one God world without end. Amen.

HEar my prayer, O God, and hide not thy self from my petition. Take heed unto me and hear me, how I mourn in my prayer and am vexed. Give me strength and comfort in thee, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the Congregation of factious men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before their eyes. But thou Lord God art full of compassion and mercy, long suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth. O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me: shew some token upon me for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou Lord hast holpen me, and comforted me in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Assist me mercifully, O Lord, in these, and all other my supplications and prayers, and dispose my ways towards the attainment of everlasting salvation, that among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, I may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Deliver me from them whose words are softer then butter, when they have war in their heart: And from them whose words are smoother then oyl, while they are very swords. Lord, I cast my burthen upon thee, that thou mayst sustain me, and not suffer me to fall for ever. Amen.

Bless me, O Lord, when thou chastenest me, and teachest me in thy law; that thou mayst give me patience in time of adversity, till the pit be digged up for the ungodly. O Lord, fail me not, neither forsake me, for I am part of thine Inheritance in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty and merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep me from all things that may hurt me; that I being ready both in body and soul, may with a free heart accomplish those things that thou wouldest have done, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O AEterne Deus, quamdiu hic in terris sum, supplex oro, in quantum terrena mihi serviunt, doceant me esse Dominum suum, sed a te constitutum: In quantum molesta sunt, doceant me servire …ibi Domino meo, cui dum non obtempero, illa in justam vindictam molesta esse solent: Ut sive illa mihi serviant, sive non, ego semper serviam tibi, in & per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Hold not thy tongue, O God of my praise; for the mouth of the ungodly, yea, and the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me: And they have spoken against me with false tongues, they compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. But I give my self unto prayer; Lord, forgive them, and hear me. Amen.

O God which art the author of peace, and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedome; defend me and all thy servants in all assaults of our enemies, that we surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

DIc, ô Domine mi Jesu, doce, disca a te, quod doceam de te. Amen

Deliver me, O Lord, from the man that is evil, and preserve me from the cruel man, which imagines mischief in his heart, and stirs up strife all the day long: The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread their net abroad with cords, and set traps in my way. Lord keep me from treacherous hands, and preserve me, that though they purpose, yet they may not be able to overthrow my goings, even for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto me, and all thy servants, that peace which the world cannot give, that both our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness, through the merits of Iesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

HAve mercy upon me O God, have mercy upon me, for my soul trusteth in thee, and in the shadow of thy wings will I trust, till these and all other my afflictions be over-past. O send out thy mercy and truth upon me, even for Iesus Christ his sake. Amen.

O Domine misericors qui ad cor altum non accedis, humilia animam meam. O tu, qui non videris nisi a mundis cordibus, veram cordis munditiem dato mibi. Sitio, O Domine, da arrham haereditatis futurae, saltem da guttam coelestis pluviae, qua refrigerare possim sitim meam, quia amore ardeo. Nec hoc peto, Domine, propter merita mea, indignissimus enim sum qui gustem; sed pro misericordia tua, & meritis Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi. Amen.

Almighty God, vouchsafe, I beseech thee, to direct, sanctifie and govern both my heart and body in the wayes of thy Laws, and in the works of thy Commandments, that through thy mighty protection, both here and ever I may be preserved by night and by day, in body and in soul, through our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ. Amen.

O Lord, I cry unto thee, hearken unto me, O God. Thou holdest my eyes waking: I am so feeble that I cannot speak: And in the night season my soul refuseth comfort; yet even then give me grace especially, that I may commune with mine own heart, and search out my spirits, and compose them in thee, that I may rise to serve thee. Amen.

Da mihi, Domine, dormitum abeunti requiem corporis & animae. Custodi me a caliginoso peccati somno, ab omni tenebrosa & nocturna mollitie. Ignita maligni tela dolose in me vibrata extinguito. Rebelliones carnis meae reprimito. Et omnem terrenam & mundanam in me cogitationem sopito, per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

I humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon my infirmities; and for the glory of thy Names sake, turn from me and the rest of thy servants, all those evils which we most justly have deserved: And grant that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in holiness and pureness of living, to thy honour and glory, through our only Mediator and Advocate, Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
