thy humble servants, entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our evening sacrifice of prayer and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching Thee to grant, that bywthe merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole Church, may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion.

And here we present unto Thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls, and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto Thee; humbly beseeching Thee, that all we, who are now uniting in supplication and praise, may be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction.

And although we be unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto Thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech Thee to accept this, our bounden duty and service, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory be unto Thee, O Father Almighty, world without end; and in whose blessed name and words we further pray, Our Father, &c. The grace, &c.

We rejoice that unto us a Child is born; that unto us a Son is given. And we would join the multitude of the heavenly host, in ascribing glory to Thee in the highest; peace on earth; good-will toward men.

We praise Thee for revealing to us the way in which mercy and truth have met together;
