way

May it please theé to give us an heart to love and dread thee; and diligently to live after thy commandments. May it please thee to give to all thy people, increase of grace, to hear meekly thy Word, and to receive it with pure affection; and to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit. May it please thee to bring into the of truth, all such as have erred and are deceived. May it please thee to strengthen such as do stand; and to comfort and help the weakhearted; and to raise up them that fall; and finally to beat down Satan under our feet. May it please thee to succour, help, and comfort all that are in danger, necessity, and tribulation. May it please thee to preserve all that travel, by land or by water;

all women labouring of child; all sick persons and young children; and to shew thy pity upon all prisoners and captives. May it please thee to defend and provide for the fatherless children and widows; and all that are desolate and oppressed. May it please thee to have mercy upon all men. May it please thee to forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, and to turn their hearts. May it please thee to give and preserve to our use, the kindly fruits of the earth, so as in due time we may enjoy them. We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord.

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us, this day, our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that

trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. O God, whose blessed Son was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil, and make us the sons of God, and heirs of eternal life; grant us, we beseech thee, that having this hope, we may purify ourselves, even as he is pure; that when he shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be made like unto him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, he liveth and reigneth ever, one God, world without end.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers upon earth; most heartily we beseech thee, with thy favour to

behold our most gracious Sovereign Lord, King GEORGE; and so replenish him with the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that he may alway incline to thy will, and walk in thy way. Endue him plenteously with heavenly gifts; grant him in health and wealth long to live; strengthen him, that he may vanquish and overcome all his enemies; and finally, after this life, he may attain everlasting joy and felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that thou being our Ruler and Guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O hea

venly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our Lord.

Now, unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and Amen.

ever.
