the innocency of our lives, and constancy of our faith even unto death, we may glorify thy holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God, that like as we do believe thy onlybegotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to have ascended into the heavens; so we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with him continually dwell. And since according to his most true promise, the Holy Ghost came down to teach the hearts of thy faithful people, and to lead them into all truth; grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; and finally exalt us unto the same place which our Saviour Christ is gone to prepare for us, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen. ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and charity; and that we may obtain that which thou dost promise, make us to love that which thou dost command, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Father which art in heaven, &c. MONDAY EVENING. Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord: and be joyful, all ye that are true of heart. PSALM 1. BLESSED is the man, that hath not walk ed in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners: and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law will he exercise himself day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side: that will bring forth his fruit in due season. 4 His leaf also shall not wither: and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper. 5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth. 6 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7 But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous and the way of the ungodly shall perish. 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. Let us pray. Amen. LMIGHTY and everlasting God, who -art always more ready to hear than we to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire, or deserve; Pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid; and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord. Amen. GRACIOUS Father, we confess it to be of thy mercy alone that we are not consumed; for our sins have cried to heaven, and justly provoked thy wrath and indignation against us. Grant, O Lord, that the consideration of this thy repeated goodness, may work in us true repentance, and increase in us more and more, a lively faith and love, fruitful in all holy obedience : that we, ever trusting in thy mercy, protected by thy power, and crowned with thy continual and gracious favour, may walk before thee in holiness, peace, and joy, on earth; and after death obtain everlasting life and joy in the kingdom of heaven, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen. A LMIGHTY and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; We humbly beseech thee, that, as by thy special grace preventing us, thou dost put into our minds good desires, so by thy continual help we may bring the same to good effect; that we, being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish those things that thou wouldest have done; and so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. LORD our heavenly Father, by whose almighty power we have been created and preserved, and by whose infinite mercy we have been called to the knowledge of our Saviour, and redeemed from sin and eternal death; for these unspeakable benefits and the daily bounties of thy Providence, we give thee continual thanks; submitting ourselves wholly to thy holy will and pleasure, and studying to serve thee in true holiness and righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [NTO thy gracious protection, O God, UNTO we commit ourselves, and all who are near and dear to us, both this night and ever. Let no casualty, nor any act of wickedness and violence hurt us: Let no disquieting thoughts disturb our repose. But grant, that we may enjoy such refreshing sleep as may fit us for the duties of the following day. And when we rise may we be duly sensible of thy merciful Providence towards us, and |
