Moft mighty God, terrible in the judgments, and wonderful in thy doings toward the children of men; who in thy heavy difpleasure didft fuffer the life of our gracious Sovereign King Charles the First to be, as this day, taken away by the hands of cruel and bloody men: We thy finful creatures here affembled before thee do, in the behalf of all the people of this land, humbly confefs, that they were the crying fins of this Nation, which brought down this heavy judgment upon us. But, O gracious God, when thou makeft inquifition for blood, lay not the guilt of this innocent blood, (the fhedding whereof nothing but the blood of thy Son can expiate,) lay it not to the charge of the people of this land; nor let it ever be required of us or our pofterity. Be merciful, O alms the viith palm was originally prefixed to thefe, but omitted ild's reign.

abundant grace bestowed upon our martyred Sovereign; by which he was enabled fo cheerfully to follow the steps of his bleffed Mafter and Saviour, in a conftant meek fuffering of all barbarous indignities, and at last resisting unto blood and even then, according to the fame partern, praying for his murderers. Let his memory, O Lord, be ever bleffed among us; that we may follow the example of his courage and conftancy, his meeknefs and patience, and great charity. And grant that this our land may be freed from the vengeance of his righteous blood, and thy mercy glorified in the forgiveness of our fins and all for Jefus Chrift his fake, our only Mediator and Advocate.

Most mighty God, and merciful Father, who hast compaffion upon all men, and hateft nothing that thou haft made; who would eft not the death of a finner, but that he fhould rather turn from his fin, and be faved: Mercifully forgive us our trefpaffes; receive and comfort us, who are grieved and wearied with the butden of our fins. Thy property is always to have mercy; to thee only it appertaineth to forgive fins. Spare us, therefore, good Lord, fpare thy people whom thou haft redeemed; enter not into judgment with thy fervants,

The Epiftle. i St. Pet ii. 13.

UBMIT yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's fake: whether it be to the King, as fupreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are fent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well. For fo is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to filence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not ufing your liberty for a cloak of maliIciousness, but as the fervants of God. Honour all men. -Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the King, Servants, be fubject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but alfo to the froward. For this is thank-worthy, if a man for confcience toward God endure grief, fuffering wrongfully. For what glory is it,

if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye fhall take it patiently; but if, when ye do well, and fuffer for it, ye take it patiently; this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: becaufe Chrift alfo fuffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye fhould follow his fteps: who did no fin, neither was guile found in his mouth.

The Gospel. St. Matt. xxi. 33.

HERE was a certain houfholder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-prefs in it, and builded a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he fent his fervants to the hufbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it, And the husbandmen took his fervants, and beat one, and killed another, and ftoned another. Again he sent other fervants, more than the first and they did unto them likewife. But laft of all he fent unto them his fon, faying, They will reverence my fon. But when the husbandmen faw the fon, they faid among themfelves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and let us feize, on his inheritance. And they caught him, and caft him out of the vineyard, and flew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto thofe hufbandmen? They fay unto him, He will miferably deftroy thofe wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which fhall render him the fruits in their feafons.
