sins, which by our frailty we have committed. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our blessed Lord and Saviour.

Turn thou us, O good Lord, and so shall we be turned. Be favourable, O Lord, be favourable to thy people, who confess their sins unto thee, and earnestly entreat thy forgiveness. For thou art a merciful God, full of compassion, long-suffering, and of great pity. Thou sparest when we deserve punishment, and in thy wrath thinkest upon mercy. Spare thy people, good Lord, spare them; and let not thine heritage be brought to confusion. Hear us, O Lord, for thy mercy is great; and after the multitude of thy mercies look

upon us, through the merits and mediation of thy blessed Son Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Advocate.

Lord, we beseech thee, grant unto thy servants, grace to withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil; and with pure hearts and minds to follow thee the only God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee, such good things as pass man's understanding; pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire, through Jesus Christ our 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: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever

and ever.

Protect and defend our Sovereign Lord the King, with the whole Royal Family, from all treasons and conspiracies. Be unto him an Helmet of salvation, and a strong tower of Defence against the face of all his enemies. Clothe them with shame and confusion; but upon Himself and his posterity let the crown for ever flourish. So we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thee thanks for ever; and will always be shewing forth thy praise from generation to generation, through Jesus Christ our only Saviour and Redeemer; to whom, with thee, O Father, and the Holy Ghost, be

glory in the Church throughout all ages, world without end.

Most gracious God, who hast safely brought us to the close of another week, accept of our unfeigned thanks, for the manifold and great benefits which we have received at thy hands. And as to-morrow is the Sabbathday, incline our hearts to keep it holy. May we call it a Delight, the Holy of the Lord, Honourable. May we honour thee, not doing our own ways, nor finding our own pleasure, nor speaking our own words. Open thou our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Teach us, O Lord, the way of thy statutes. Guide us with thy counsel, and conduct us in the path of thy commandments. So fit and prepare us against the hour of death, that after our departure hence in peace,

and in thy favour, our souls may be received into thine everlasting kingdom, through the merits and mediation of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

O Lord, who never failest to help and govern them whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good Providence, defend us from all perils and dangers of this night, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. Amen.
