Merciful God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; in whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in him, shall not die eternally; who also hath taught us, by his holy Apostle Saint Paul, not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in him; We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us from the death of sin unto ALMIGHTY God, with the life of righteousness; that, whom do live the spi- when we shall depart this The Woman, at the usual time after her Delivery, shall come into the Church decently ap parelled, and there shall kneel down in some convenient place, as hath been accustomed, or as the Ordinary shall direct: And then the Priest shall say unto her, FORASMUCH as it hath pleased Almighty God of his goodness to give you safe deliverance, and hath preserved you in the great danger of Child-birth; you shall therefore give hearty thanks unto God, and say, (Then shall the Priest say the cxvith Psalm.)

And why? thou hast delivered my soul from death: mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord: in the land of the living. |
