O Lord we have continuall cause thy mercies to remember: For thou hast bin our God and guide, our Keeper and Defender. Delivering us from those Attempts, that wicked men have sought Against thy truth, against thy Saints, to bring them unto nought. Amongst the great Deliverances, thou hast this Land affoorded, There is one chiefe, that doth deserve in heart to be recorded. O let us not forget good Lord, but grant we may remember, What thou didst do for us and ours, the fift day of November. That when we on our beds did rest, the night before secure: Next day prepared was for us, great sorrowes to endure. When that our King, Queene, Prince & Peeres, our commons chiefe and best; In Parliament should meet to make: good Lawes to guide the rest: A hellish blast with powder mad, from under them should rise, To cast them up into the aire, betwixt the earth and skies. When as in health and strength they were, and danger none did feare, A hideous cracke and cruell blow, in peeces them should teare. No cruell beast more eager then, and greedier of his pray, Then Antichrist his priests and slaves, were of our lives that day. They thought our ruine to have wrought, in twinckling of an eye. But God our great Deliverer, this mischiefe did descry. And when that they the spoile did thinke, amongst them to devide: The high and mighty Lord of hoasts, their counsels did deride: By making James, our royall King, so quicke in apprehension, As to discover and prevent Romes Divels deepe intention. (1605)
So that the net and snare is broke, Hels counsell is reveled: That from the ages for to come, it may not be concealed. Now we that live may sing a Psalme of praise and thankes to him: And where that they with shame did end, with joy we may begin, And say, O Lord to thee alone, alone to thee O Lord, The Praise is due, the praise is due, even all with on accord. Nothing there was in us that did deserve this love of thee: It was thy love and mercie great, bestowed on us most free. It was thy love unto thy name, and to thy Saints most deare, That mov'd thee thus to deale with us, in danger when we were. Even while we live, we will confesse, to thy eternall praise, That by this great Deliverance wrought, thou hast renewed our daies: And given us time for to repent, and to amend our lives: And of thy mercies manifold the higher for to prize. O let the practise of these men, against thy children deare, Make us to hate their wicked wayes, and thee the more to feare. And grant that we may still detest that doctrine and that sinne, That teacheth us to eate our God, and eke to kill our King. And evermore whil'st that our lives and breath in us doth last, To lay up in our hearts thy law, and there to keepe it fast: That by the same we may be kept from errors grosse and nought, Untill we have obtain'd that crowne, that Christ for us hath bought. Lord blesse thy Church, preserve our King, the Prince and Race royall: Prolong their dayes, make them the meanes of Antichrists downfall. Amen.
