Then shall the Minister, and the People with him, say the Lord's Prayer.

UR Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name; Thy
kingdom come; Thy will be
done on earth, as it is in heaven;
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass
against us; And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from
evil. Amen.

Minister. O Lord, deal not with us according to our

Answer. Neither reward us according to our iniquities.

Let us pray.

GOD, merciful Father, who despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as are sorrowful; mercifully assist our prayers which we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils which the craft and subtilty of the devil or man worketh against us, may, by thy good providence, be brought to nought; that we thy servants, being hurt by

-

no persecutions, may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us, for thy name's sake.

Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

Answer. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

From our enemies defend us, O Christ.
Graciously look upon our afflictions.

With pity behold the sorrows of our hearts.
Mercifully forgive the sins of thy people.
Favourably with mercy hear our prayers.
O Son of David, have mercy upon us.

Both now and ever, vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ. Graciously hear us, O Christ; graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.

Minister. O Lord, let thy mercy be showed upon us; Answer. As we do put our trust in thee.

Let us pray.]

E humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and, for the glory of thy name, turn from us all those evils that we most justly have deserved; and grant, that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in

W

holiness and pureness of living, to thy honour and glory; through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A General Thanksgiving.

LMIGHTY God, Father of all mer-
cies, we, thine unworthy servants, do
give thee most humble and hearty
thanks for all thy goodness and
loving kindness to us, and to all
men. We bless thee for our crea-
tion, preservation, and all the bless-
ings of this life; but, above all, for

thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by
our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for
the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that
due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be un-
feignedly thankful, and that we may show forth thy praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up our-
selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holi-
ness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all
honour and glory, world without end.

Amen.

A Prayer of St. Chrysostom.

LMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy name, thou wilt grant their requests; fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in

this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
