THE ORDER OF THE

ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,

OR

HOLY COMMUNION.

The Minifter fhall always give notice the previous Sunday, when this ordinance will be administered. ¶If the Communion be an entire and separate service; then the bread and wine being laid upon a table, covered with a white cloth, the Minister fhall fay the Collect.

LMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts be open, all defires known, and from whom no fecrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the influence of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

GOD

OD fpake these words, and faid; I am the Lord thy God: Thou shalt have none other gods but me.

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them. [For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, and vifit the fins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and fhew mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.]

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his Name in vain.

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days fhalt thou labour, and do all that thou haft to do; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou fhalt do no manner of work, thou, and thy fon, and thy daughter, thy man-fervant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates. [For in fix days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.]

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Honour thy father and thy mother, [that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.]

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt do no murder.

Answer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Answer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not steal.

Answer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep thy laws.

Minifter. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his fervant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.

Anfwer. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.*

The folemn threat in the fecond, the reason of its origin affigned in the fourth, and the motive prefented in the fifth commandment, each included in brackets, may be omitted, as they belong exclufively to the elder difpenfation; of which St. Paul fays, "The law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did." Heb.

vii. 19.

¶Then fhall follow this Collect for the Queen, the
Minifter faying,

Let us pray.

LMIGHTY and everlafting God, we are

taught by thy holy Word, that the hearts of Kings are in thy rule and governance, and that thou dost dispose and turn them as it seemeth best to thy godly wisdom: We humbly befeech thee so to difpofe and govern the heart of VICTORIA thy Servant, our Queen and Governour, that, in all her thoughts, words, and works, fhe may ever seek thy honour and glory, and ftudy to preserve thy people committed to her charge, in wealth, peace, and godlinefs: Grant this, O merciful Father, for thy honour, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then fhall be faid the Collect of the Day. And immediately after the Collect the Priest shall read the Epiftle, faying, The Epiftle [or, The portion of Scripture appointed for the Epiftle] is written in the Chapter of beginning at the Verfe. And the Epiftle ended, he shall fay, Here endeth the Epistle. Then fhall he read the Gospel in like manner.
