_Though my destroyers forget their dutie to thee and me, yet do not thou, O Lord, forget to be mercifull to them._
_For, what profit is there in my bloud, or in their gaining my Kingdoms, if they lose their own Souls?_
_Such as have not onely resisted my just Power, but wholly usurped and turned it against my self, though they may deserve, yet let them not receive to themselves damnation._
_Thou madest thy Son a Saviour to many that crucified him, while at once he suffered violently by them, and yet willingly for them._
_O let the voice of his bloud be heard for my Murtherers, louder then the cry of mine against them._
_Prepare them for thy mercy by due convictions of their sin, and let them not at once deceive and damne their own souls by fallacious pretensions of Justice in destroying me, while the conscience of their unjust usurpation of power against me, chiefly tempts them to use all extremities against me._
_O Lord, thou knowest I have found their mercies to me as very false, so very cruell, who pretending to preserve me, have meditated nothing but my ruine._
_O deal not with them as bloud thirsty and deceitfull men; but overcome their cruelty with thy compassion and my charitie._
_And when thou makest inquisition for my blood, O sprinkle their polluted, yet penitent Souls with the bloud of thy Son, that thy destroying Angel may passe over them._
_Though they think my Kingdoms on earth too little to entertain at once both them and me; yet let the capacious Kingdom of thy infinite mercy at last receive both me and my enemies._
_When being reconciled to thee in the bloud of the same Redeemer, wee shall live far above these ambitious desires, which beget such mortall enmities._
_When their hands shall be heaviest and cruellest upon me, O let me fall into the arms of thy tender and eternall mercies._
_That what is cut off of my life in this miserable moment, may be repaied in thy ever blessed Eternity._
_Lord, let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation._
