Enter not into judgment with thy servants, who are vile earth and miserable sinners; but so turn thine anger from us, who meekly acknowledge our vileness, and truly repent us of our faults; and so make haste to help us in this world, that we may ever live with thee in the world to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Search us, O God, and know our hearts: try us, and know our thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting.

We sinners do beseech thee to hear us, O Lord God. May it please thee to rule and govern thy holy Church universal, in the right way. May it please thee to keep and strengthen in the true worshipping of thee, in righteousness and holiness of life, thy servant GEORGE, our

most gracious King and Governor. May it please thee to rule his heart in thy faith, fear, and love; and that he may evermore have affiance in thee, and ever seek thy honour and glory. May it please thee to be his defender and keeper; giving him the victory over all his enemies. May it please thee to bless and preserve all the Royal Family. May it please thee to illuminate all Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, with true' knowledge and understanding of thy Word; and that both by their preaching and living, they may set it forth, and shew it accordingly. May it please thee to endue the Lords of the Council, and all the Nobility, with grace, wisdom, and understanding. May it please thee to bless and keep the Magistrates; giving them grace to execute justice and to maintain truth.

May it please thee to bless and keep all thy people. May it please thee to give to all nations, unity, peace, and concord. We beseech thee to

hear us, good Lord.

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: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.

O Lord, deal not with us according to our sins; neither reward us according to our iniquities.

We beseech thee, O Lord, mercifully to receive the prayers of thy servants which call upon thee; and

grant that we may both perceive and know what things we ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfil the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God of all grace, who hast called us unto thy eternal glory by Christ Jesus, make us perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle us; to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

SATURDAY EVENING.

O GOD, the Father of heaven, have mercy upon us, miserable sinners.

O God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy upon us, miserable sinners.

O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, have mercy upon us, miserable sin

ners.

O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three persons, and one God, have mercy upon us, miserable sin

ners.

O Lord, we beseech thee, absolve us from our offences: that through thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those
