man: Grant us the true circumcision of the Spirit; that our hearts, and all our members, being mortified from all worldly and carnal lusts, we may in all things obey Thy holy will, and obtain the remission of our sins, and the righteousness which is by the faith of Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

GOD, who by the leading of a star didst mani

fest Thine Only-begotten Son to the Gentiles, and guide them to the place where He lay: Mercifully grant that we, to whom Thou hast revealed Him more clearly by the light of Thy glorious Gospel, may make such progress in faith and holiness, and be so entirely led and governed by Thy Spirit, that we may be brought after this life into that blessed place where He now is, and there have the fruition of Thy glorious presence for ever and ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

GOD, whose infinite mercies in our blessed Saviour encourage us to call upon Thee: We beseech Thee graciously to hear us; and grant that we may both perceive and know what is Thy good, and acceptable, and perfect will revealed to us, and also have grace and power so faithfully to fulfil the same, that we may present ourselves a living sacrifice,

holy and acceptable unto Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

A

LMIGHTY and Everlasting God, who dost govern

all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of Thy people; and so rule and guide us, that we may do our duties faithfully in our several places and relations; constantly abhorring that which is evil, and cleaving to that which is good; being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, and continuing instant in prayer; so that we may enjoy Thy peace all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

A

LMIGHTY and Everlasting God, mercifully look

upon our infirmities, and endue us with the spirit of meekness and patience; that no evil we suffer from others may move us to do evil unto them, but that we may overcome them by doing them good; and if it be possible, as much as lieth in us, live peaceably with all men. And in all our dangers and adversities, stretch forth Thy hand to help and defend us ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

GOD, who knowest us to be set in the midst

of so many and great temptations and dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature in many

things we offend all: Grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers, and carry us through all temptations; that, being faithful unto Thee, rendering unto all their due, and doing that which is good, we may be graciously accepted of Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

LORD, we beseech Thee to keep Thy Church

and household continually in Thy true religion; and to stir up every member of the same to adorn Thy holy profession, by putting on bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; that, resting only upon the hope of Thy heavenly grace, and doing all in the Name of our blessed Saviour, we may evermore be defended by Thy mighty power, giving thanks unto Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

GOD, whose Blessed Son was manifested that

He might destroy the works of the devil, and make us the sons of God, and heirs of eternal life: Grant us, we beseech Thee, that having this hope, we may purify ourselves, even as He is pure; that when He shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be made like unto Him in His eternal and glorious Kingdom; where, with Thee, O Father,

and Thee, O Holy Ghost, He liveth and reigneth, ever One God, world without end. AMEN.

LORD, we beseech Thee favourably to hear the

prayers of Thy People; that we, who by Thy grace are called to the course of a Christian life, may be temperate in all things; and so run the race that is set before us, as to obtain that incorruptible crown which Thou hast promised to them that love Thee; through Jesus Christ our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. AMEN.

LORD, who seest that we put not our trust in anything that we do: Mercifully grant that by Thy power we may be defended against all adversities; or so mightily aided by Thy grace, that we may not faint under them; but having heard Thy holy Word with honest and good hearts, we may keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

LORD, who hast taught us that all our doings

without charity are nothing worth: Send Thy Holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, which is humble, meek, kind,

long-suffering and patient, the very bond of peace and

of all virtues

Christ's sake.

Grant this for Thine Only Son Jesus

AMEN.

A

LMIGHTY and Everlasting God, who hatest nothing that Thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts; that we, truly lamenting our sins, with unfeigned sorrow and abhorrence, and acknowledging our wretchedness with sincere resolution of amendment of life, may obtain of Thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

LORD, who for our sakes didst fast forty days

and forty nights, and vanquish all the temptations of the devil by which our first parents were overcome: Grant that we may not receive the grace of God in vain, but use such abstinence, that our flesh being subdued to the spirit, no desire of pleasure, glory, or worldly advantage may tempt us from our duty; but that we may ever obey Thy godly motions, in righteousness and true happiness, to Thine honour and glory, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, One God, world without end. AMEN.
