incense and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and keep the door of my lips.

:

O let not mine heart be inclined to any evil thing let me not be occupied in ungodly works with the men that work wickedness, lest I eat of such things as please them.

Let the righteous rather smite me friendly : and reprove me.

But let not their precious balms break my head yea, I will pray yet against their wickedness.

Let their judges be overthrown in stony places that they may hear my words, for they

:

are sweet.

:

Our bones lie scattered before the pit like as when one breaketh and heweth wood upon the earth.

But mine eyes look unto Thee, O Lord God: in Thee is my trust, O cast not out my soul. Keep me from the snare that they have laid for me and from the traps of the wicked doers. Let the ungodly fall into their own nets together and let me ever escape them. Glory be to the Father, &c.

LESSON.

As it was, &c.

BLESSED is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he

is tempted, I am tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man. Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purify your hearts ye double-minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of God and He will lift you up. Speak not evil one of another. He that speaketh evil of his brother and judgeth his brother speaketh evil of the law and judgeth the law. Be patient, brethren, unto the coming of our Lord. Behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye therefore patient stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the Judge standeth at the door. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another.

Thanks be to God.

The Lord Almighty grant us a quiet night and an end of toils. Amen.

Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour: whom resist, stedfast in the faith.

But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Thanks be to God.

Our help is in the Name of the Lord.

Who hath made heaven and earth.

I

BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth :

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholick Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

GR

Let us pray.

Then let all kneeling, pray.

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us

This night without sin.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord.

Have mercy upon us.

O Lord, let Thy mercy be shewed upon us,
As we do put our trust in Thee.
Lord, hear our prayer,

And let our cry come unto Thee.

RANT unto us, O merciful God, we most heartily beseech Thee, knowledge and true understanding of Thy word, that all ignorance being removed, we may know what Thy will and pleasure is in all things, and how to do our

duties, and walk faithfully in our calling, so that we may shew by our lives that we are not hearers of Thy word only but also doers of the same; and this we ask by the merit and intercession of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

MERCIFUL Father, by Whose power and strength we may overcome all our enemies both bodily and spiritual: grant unto us, O Lord, that according to the promise made in our Baptism, we may resist the enticements of the world, the pleasures of the flesh, and the temptations of the wicked one: and so hereafter lead our lives in holiness and righteousness, that we may serve Thee, in spirit and in truth, and at last come to that place which our Saviour has prepared for us in heaven. Amen.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who for our salvation didst stretch forth Thy hands upon the Cross, and didst receive five wounds thereon; pitifully receive within the arms of Thy mercy us Thy servants who fly to Thee for aid, and relieve the wounds of our souls by Thy healing grace; that being cleansed from the defilement of sins, we may be made the temples of the Holy Ghost, Who with the Almighty Father livest and reignest, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

SAVE us, O Lord, when we are awake, guard us when we are asleep, that we may be with Christ when awake, and may rest in peace.

THE grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore.

SATURDAY.

Morning Prayer.

Amen.

I LAID me down and slept, and rose up again, for the Lord sustained me.-Ps. iii. 5.

Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, Whose name is holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.-Is. lvii. 15.

OUR

Then all kneeling.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

UR 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, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

O God, make speed to save us.

O Lord, make haste to help us.
