The Substance of a Council Held at Lancaster - 19
Mr. Moderator concluded with a short Prayer to the following Effect.
O! Lord thou hast bidden us pray for Kings, and yet thou knowest they have always been very Troublesome to thy Church! Either make us free from their Rule and Government, or else make them Presbyterians, and then we shall bless thee! Have Mercy on all ignorant Persons, Fools and Idiots, and particularly us thy Servants at this Time! Lord! Take the Pistol of thy Vengeance, and the Mortar-Piece of thy Wrath, and pound all our Enemies to Hodge Podge! But for us thy Children feed us with the Pruins and Raisins of thy Promises, and give us the Spurs of Confidence, and Boots of Hope, that like new weaned Fillies we may jump over the fold-Dikes of Grace!
Amen!
FINIS.
