Protect and save the Land in which we dwell, and the Church to which we belong.

Bless our Rulers whom thy good providence hath set over us; especially our most gracious Sovereign Lord King George. And may we obey them, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake, always remembering that there is no power but of Thee; that the powers which be are ordained of Thee.

Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of Thee be plenteously rewarded.. Lobe works,

Look upon those who are lying on the bed of affliction, and make Thou all their bed in their sickness.

Arise, O Lord God, lift up thy hand; forget not the poor.

May it please Thee to defend and provide for the fatherless children and widows, and all that are desolate and oppressed. Sele

May it please thee to forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers; and to turn their hearts.

We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord. Graciously hear us, O Christ: graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.

of the Son; hear us, we pray, Thee, Eternal Spirit.

I 09:8

GOD, whose mercies are renewed to us day by day, we will sing of thy power and grace every morning. Let them give thanks whom Thou hast preserved.

But what shall we render unto Thee for all the benefits which Thou hast done unto us? Thine we are, and Thee we ought to serve; and to love Thee with all the heart, and soul, and mind, and strength, is our reasonable service and our bounden duty.

We humbly desire to offer up the sacrifice of praise continually in the name of that blessed Saviour, through whom alone Thou permittest us to approach Thee even with the voice of thanksgiving. Our goodness extendeth not to Thee. When we have done all, we are unprofitable servants. Our highest praises can add nothing to thy glory, and are altogether unworthy of thy notice; and Thou greatly humblest Thyself to accept them.

i

Dispose us, O Lord, daily to think on thy condescension and grace, in regarding such unworthy creatures, and in continuing to bless the unthankful and the evil. Teach us to know and to feel our exceeding sinfulness in thy sight that we may be filled with a due sense of all thy mercies. We have indeed greatly sinned with our fathers: we have done amiss, and dealt wickedly. But, O Lord, we beseech Thee, absolve us from our offences; that through thy bountiful goodness, we may be delivered from the bands of those sins which by our frailty we have committed. Grant that we may truly repent of them before Thee, and turn ourselves from them, that so iniquity may not be our ruin.

₹

Save us, O Lord, our God, and gather not our souls with the ungodly, but set us apart, for Thyself. May we strive to enter in at the strait gate. May we not be of the number of those who seek to enter in, and are not able; but of those who believe, to the saving of the soul. We would magnify the exceeding riches of thy grace, and exalt the honour of thy name by humble trust and confidence in the Son of thy lover

And, we pray Thee, O Lord, that thy power may be great, both in pardoning our sins, and in enabling us to bring forth the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ to thy praise and glory.

As Thou hast given Him to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin, and also an ensample of

godly life, give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavour ourselves to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life.

Our eyes are now directed unto Thee, from whom cometh all our help. May we enter upon the various duties of this day, with the spirit of those whom thy mercy hath spared, and thy grace hath quickened to newness of life. Deliver us from spiritual sloth and negligence. Make us active in the dis charge of all that lieth before us. Help us to press forward in the way of life, and so to run, that we may obtain the prize of our high calling. Incline and enable us to abound in those good works, which thou hast prepared for us to walk in; to wait all the days of our appointed time till our change come; and by patient continuance in well-doing, to seek for glory, and honor, and immortality! that so by thy mercy we may in the end obtain eternal life to q me sat otov lod of

Bless thy whole church; and order all things for its increase and prosperity. Sanctify and cleanse it, that it may be a glorious Church; not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it may be holy and with out blemish.

Finally, we pray Thee to regard with thy favor this family. Look down upon us in mercy. Refresh us abundantly with the dew of thy blessing. May we be followers of Thee, as dear children, walking in love, as Christ also loved us, and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice unto Thee for a sweet-smelling savour.

These prayers, for ourselves and others, we humbly offer up to the throne of grace, in the name, and through the mediation, of Jesuss Christ, our only Lord and Saviour. Our Fa-s ther, &c. The Peace of God, &c.

ALMIGHTY and Everlasting God, be pleased to incline our hearts to close this day with serious reflection and fervent prayer: and grant that we may be always ready to perform this reasonable service.

Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and so doth thy memorial, O Lord, from one generation to another. Thy merciful kindness is ever more and more towards us. Thou
