O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thy Name's sake.

GOD, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them. O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine honour. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

O Son of David, have mercy upon us.

For Soldiers and Sailors.

Amen.

ALMIGHTY God and Saviour, we implore thy blessing upon our brethren who, in the service of Give them our country go forth against the enemy. faith, obedience, courage, and endurance. Preserve them in the midst of the temptations of the camp and of the field; from the perils of the ocean, and of the land; from the pestilence that walketh in darkness and from the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day. Keep them under the shadow of thy wing, and restore them in safety to us. And to such as may fall in battle or by sickness, of our brethren, or of our enemies, do thou, Ŏ Lord, graciously grant the preparation of repentance unto life eternal; through the infinite love and merits of the Saviour of all men, thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Peace of the World.

ALMIGHTY God, the supreme Governor of all things, who knowest our weakness and our lack of any wisdom equal to the present distress; We humbly

seek thy counsel and succour, and beseech thee that overruling the devices of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in thy mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none, thou vouchsafe to thy children healing peace again, and restore once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship, nor any wholesome fruit of toil or thought in the world. And to this end we pray thee that thou forgive us our sins, our ignorance of thy holy will, our wilfulness and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision, and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise. Grant these things, O heavenly Father, for the love of thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

For the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

BLESSED Spirit, who dwellest in thy Church and in the hearts and minds of thy people, we pray thee manifest thy gracious presence more and more fully in

us.

We need thy help. Without thee we can do nothing that is good, nothing that is holy. Lead us in the paths of purity and peace. Overcome the evil that is in us and take from us the love of sinning. Make us to seek first thy righteousness and help us to lead holy lives, se that through grace and mercy we may at last dwell with thy saints in glory everlasting. Hear us, O God the Holy Ghost, who art with the Father and the Son one God blessed for evermore. Amen.

For the Ignorant.

LORD, thou God of knowledge, by whom actions are weighed, have pity upon all who know thee not; let the arrogant talk no more so proudly, but bring thou them low, that they may be lifted up; let those who have

stumbled be girded with strength and be made to inherit the throne of thy glory; that all may know that there is none beside thee, the Rock of our salvation, now and for evermore. This we ask for Jesus' sake. Amen.

For the Doubting.

WE theed, grant that the way of thy truth,

E entreat thee, O Lord, holy Father, Almighty

and the knowledge of thee may be shown to thy servants who wander in doubt and uncertainty amid the darkness of this world; that their eyes may be opened, and that they may acknowledge thee the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and may enjoy the fruit of this confession both here and in the world to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Church.

GRACIOUS Father, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy catholic Church; that thou wouldst be pleased to fill it with all truth in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in anything it is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, heal the breaches thereof; for the sake of him who died and rose again, and forever maketh intercession for it, Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

For Support.

LORD, support us all day long of this troublous life, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest, and peace at the last; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE ORDER FOR THE

ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,

OR

HOLY COMMUNION.

If among those who come to be partakers of the Holy Communion, the Minister shall know any to be an open and notorious evil liver, or to have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; he shall advertise him, that he presume not to come to the Lord's Table, until he have openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former evil life, that the Congregation may thereby be satisfied; and that he hath recompensed the parties to whom he hath done wrong; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as soon as he conveniently may.

The same order shall the Minister use with those, betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign; not suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until he know them to be reconciled. And if one of the parties, so at variance, be content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him, and to make amends for that wherein he himself hath offended; and the other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice; the Minister in that case ought to admit the penitent person to the Holy Communion, and not him that is obstinate. Provided, That every Minister so repelling any, as is herein specified, shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the Ordinary, within fourteen days after, at the farthest.

The Table, at the Communion-time having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in the body of the Church, or in the Chaneel. And the Minister, standing at the right side of the Table, or where Morning and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said, shall say the Lord's Prayer and the Collect following, the People kneeling; but the Lord's Prayer may be omitted, if Morning Prayer hath been said immediately before.

UR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy

OUR
Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen.

The Collect.
