heart and humble voice, to the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me;

¶ A general confession to be said by the whole congrega tion after the Minister, all kneeling. When the Minister omits the preceding exhortation, he must introduce the confession by the following words, Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY and most

merciful Father; we have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

¶ Then shall the Minister, standing up, say, (the People still kneeling,) ALMIGHTY God, the

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live: He graciously pardoneth all them that truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true repentance, and his holy Spirit, that those things may please him which we do at this present; and that the rest of our life hereaftermay be pure and holy ; so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ The People shall answer here, and at the end of every prayer, Amen.

Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer, the People still kneeling, and repeating it with him, both here and wherever else it is used in Divine Service.

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.

Then likewise he shall say, O Lord, open thou our lips.

Peo. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. ¶ Here all standing up, the Minister shall say,

This is the day which the Lord hath made;

rejoice

Peo. We will and be glad in it. Min. Praise ye the Lord.

Peo. The Lord's name be praised.

¶Then shall be read by the

Minister and People, in alternate verses, the appointed portion of the Psalms.-- Note, as the number of Public Services varies in different churches, that shall be considered the appointed portion which immediately follows the one last used in public worship, with the exception of such Psalms as are uppropriated to particular occasions. The Minister, at the commencement of every Psalm, shall announce the number, and read the first verse; and at the conclusion

of the whole the Gloria Patri shall be said or sung as follows:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

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

¶ Then shall be read the First and Second Lessons accor ding to the Calendar.-Note, before every Lesson the Minister shall say, The First or Second Lesson appointed for this Morning's Service is written in the chap. of beginning at the verse: and after every lesson, Here endeth the First or the Second Lesson.

Peo. And grant us thy salvation.

Min. O Lord, save the King;

Peo. And bless the Royal Family.

Peo. And make thy chosen people joyful. Min. Let thy way be known upon earth;

Peo. Thy saving health among all nations!

Min. O God, make clean our hearts within us;

Peo. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.

¶ Then shall follow three Collects: the first for the day; the second for grace; and the third for peace. The Second Collect for Grace.

LORD, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger: but that all our doings, being ordered by thy governance, may be always acceptable in thy sight,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Third Collect for

Peace. GOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, mercifully grant that those evils, which the craft or subtlety of the devil or man worketh against us, may be brought to nought, and by the providence of thy goodness be dispersed; that we, thy servants, being defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul, may experience that peace which passeth all understanding, and evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
