that He came into the world to save sinners,
of whom I am chief.

Through the grace of JESUS CHRIST

we believe that we shall be saved
like as our fathers.

I know that my skin shall rise up upon the earth,
which undergoes these things.

I believe to see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

Our heart shall rejoice in Him,

because we have hoped in His holy Name,
in the Name of the Father,

of the Saviour, Mediator, Intercessor, Redeemer,
of the two-fold Comforter,

under the figures of the Lamb and the Dove. Let Thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, like as we do put our trust in Thee.

(4) Intercession.

Let us beseech the LORD in peace,

for the heavenly peace,

and the salvation of our souls ;

for the peace of the whole world;
for the stability of GoD's holy Churches,
and the union of them all;-

for this holy house,

and those who enter it with faith and reverence; for our holy Fathers,

the honourable Presbytery, the Diaconate in CHRIST,
and all, both clergy and people ;—

for this holy retreat, and all the city and country,
and all the faithful who dwell therein;-
for salubrious weather, fruitfulness of earth,
and peaceful times;—

for voyagers, travellers,

those who are in sickness, toil, and captivity,
and for their salvation.

Aid, save, pity, and preserve them,

O GOD, in Thy grace.

Making mention

of the all-holy, undefiled, and more than blessed
Mary, Mother of GoD and Ever-Virgin,
with all saints,

let us commend ourselves, and each other, and all our life,
to CHRIST Our God.

To Thee, O LORD, for it is fitting,

be glory, honour, and worship.
The grace of our LORD, JESUS CHRIST,
and the love of GOD,

and the communion of the HOLY GHOST,

be with me, and with all of us. Amen.

I commend me and mine, and all that belongs to me,
to Him who is able to keep me without falling,
and to place me immaculate

(5) Praise.

before the presence of His glory,

to the only wise GOD and our Saviour;
to whom be glory and greatness,

strength and authority,

both now and for all ages. Amen.

O LORD, MY LORD,

for my being, life, reason,
for nurture, protection, guidance,
for education, civil rights, religion,
for Thy gifts of grace, nature, fortune,
for redemption, regeneration, catechising,
for my call, recall, yea, many calls besides;
for Thy forbearance, long-suffering, long long-suffering

to me-ward,

many seasons, many years, up to this time;

for all good things received, successes granted me, good things done; for the use of things present,

for Thy promise, and my hope

of the enjoyment of good things to come;

for my parents honest and good,

teachers kind,

benefactors never to be forgotten,

religious intimates congenial,
hearers thoughtful,

friends sincere,

domestics faithful,

for all who have advantaged me by writings, homilies, converse, prayers, patterns, rebukes, injuries; for all these, and all others which I know, which I know not,

open, hidden,

remembered, forgotten,

done when I wished, when I wished not,

I confess to Thee and will confess, I bless Thee and will bless, I give thanks to Thee and will give thanks,

all the days of my life.

Who am I, or what is my father's house,
that Thou shouldst look upon a dead dog,
the like of me?

What reward shall I give unto the LORD
for all the benefits which he hath done unto me?
What thanks can I recompense unto God,
for all He has spared and borne with me until now?
Holy, Holy, Holy,

worthy art Thou,

O LORD and our God, the Holy One,

to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power,
for Thou hast made all things,

and for thy pleasure they are,
and were created.

THE SIXTH DAY.

Introduction. Early shall my prayer come before Thee.
Blessed art Thou, O LORD,

who broughtest forth of the earth, wild beasts, cattle,
and all the reptiles,

for food, clothing, help;

and madest man after Thine image, to rule the earth, and blessedst him.

The fore-counsel, fashioning hand,

breath of life, image of GOD,

appointment over the works,

charge to the Angels concerning him,
paradise.-

Heart, reins, eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet,

life, sense, reason, spirit, free will, memory, conscience, the revelation of GOD, writing of the law,

oracles of prophets, music of psalms, instruction of proverbs, experience of histories, worship of sacrifices.

Blessed art Thou, O LORD,

for Thy great and precious promise
on this day

concerning the Life-giving Seed,

and for its fulfilment in fulness of the times
at this day.

Blessed art Thou, O LORD,

for the holy passion

of this day.

take away all iniquity and receive us graciously,

so will we render the calves of our lips.

Spare us, LORD, spare,

and give not Thine heritage to reproach,

to Thine enemies.

LORD, LORD, be propitious,

(Joel.)

cease, I beseech Thee,

by whom shall Jacob arise?

for he is small.

Repent, O LORD, for this,

and this shall not be.

While observing lying vanities

I forsook my own mercy,

(Amos.)

(Jonah.)

and am cast out of Thy sight. When my soul fainted within me,

I remembered the LORD;

yet will I look again toward Thy Holy Temple;
Thou hast brought up my life from corruption.
Who is a GOD like unto Thee,

that pardoneth iniquity
to the remnant of His heritage?

He retaineth not His anger for ever,

because He delighteth in mercy.

(Micah.)

Turn again and have compassion upon us, O LORD,
subdue our iniquities,

and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea,

according to Thy truth, and according to Thy mercy.
