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. Amen.

For the Divine grace, protection, and blessing.

O God, forasmuch as without Thee we are not able to please Thee, mercifully grant that Thy Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts, and make us continually to be given to all good works; that we being ready both in body and soul may cheerfully accomplish those things which Thou wouldst have done; and so run the way of Thy commandments, that we may obtain Thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of Thy heavenly treasure, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Defend us, O Lord, evermore with Thy heavenly aid; and pour into our hearts Thy manifold gifts of grace, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and ghostly strength, the spirit of knowledge and true godliness and fill us, O Lord, with the spirit of Thy holy fear, that we may continue Thine

for ever, and daily increase in Thy Holy Spirit more and more, until we come to Thine everlasting kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty Lord God, Who hast created all things for Thine own glory and service, give us grace to direct all our thoughts, words, and works to that one end; that so having served Thee faithfully here, we may glorify Thee eternally in Thy kingdom hereafter, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

O God, Heavenly Father, Who by Thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised, to all them that seek Thy kingdom, and the righteousness thereof, all things necessary to their bodily sustenance; grant to us, we beseech Thee, such a portion of the necessaries and conveniences of this present life, as Thou seest to be most expedient for us and give us grace to use all Thy temporal blessings with such moderation and abstinence, that our flesh being subdued to the spirit, we may ever obey Thy godly motions in righteousness and true holiness, to Thy honour and glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord God! Who by the power of Thy word didst produce a glorious light out of

darkness; let Thy Sun of righteousness, with healing in his wings, arise upon us, and enlighten the darkness of our hearts, and rescue us from the shadow of death; that we may walk in the light of Thy grace here, and rejoice in the light of Thy glory in Thy heavenly kingdom hereafter; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Intercessions.

O LORD, we beseech Thee, let Thy continual pity cleanse and defend Thy church; and because it cannot continue in safety without Thy succour, preserve it evermore by Thy help and goodness that through Thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve Thee in all good works, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Eternal Lord God, Who upholdest and governest all things both in heaven and earth; we humbly beseech Thee, as for all Christian kings, princes, and governors, so especially for Thy servant George our king, and all who by Thy providence are set in authority in this realm; that Thou wouldst be pleased to direct and prosper all their counsels and endeavours, to the advancement of Thy glory, and the good of Thy church; that under them we may lead

quiet and peaceable lives, in all godliness and honesty, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, Who of Thy divine providence hast appointed divers orders in Thy church; give Thy grace, we humbly beseech Thee, to all those who are called to any office and administration in the same; and so replenish them with the truth of Thy doctrine, and endue them with innocency of life, that they may faithfully serve before Thee, to the glory of Thy great name, and the benefit of Thy holy church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness! we make our humble supplications unto Thee for all our benefactors, friends, and relations, especially for those most near and dear unto us; and likewise for all those, who in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity; keep them, we beseech Thee, under the protection of Thy good providence; increase and multiply upon them Thy mercy, that Thou being their ruler and guide they may so pass through things temporal, that they finally lose not the things eternal: Grant this, O Heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our Lord. Amen.

Thanksgivings.

Almighty and everlasting God, heavenly Father! we give Thee humble thanks that Thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of Thy grace and faith in Thee: increase this knowledge, and confirm this faith in us evermore; and mercifully grant that we, who know Thee now by faith, may after this life have the fruition of Thy glorious Godhead, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Father of Mercies, and God of all grace! we desire with unfeigned thankfulness to adore and praise Thy holy Name, for Thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by the death and passion of our Saviour Christ, both God and man; Who humbled Himself even to the death upon the cross for us miserable sinners who lay in darkness and the shadow of death, that He might make us the children of God, and heirs of everlasting life grant, 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 one God world without end. Amen.
