LMIGHTY God, the fountain of all wisdom, who

knowest our necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking: We beseech Thee to have compassion upon our infirmities; and those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, vouchsafe to give us, for the worthiness of Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

A

LMIGHTY God, who hast promised to hear the

petitions of those that ask in Thy Son's Name: We beseech Thee mercifully to incline Thine ear to us who have now made our prayers and supplications unto Thee; and grant that those things which we have faithfully asked according to Thy will, may effectually be obtained; to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth of Thy glory: Through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

GOD, Holy Ghost, Sanctifier of the Faithful,

visit, we pray Thee, this congregation with Thy love and favour; enlighten their minds more and more with the light of the everlasting Gospel; graft in their hearts a love of the truth; increase in them true religion; nourish them with all goodness; and of Thy great mercy keep them in the same, O blessed Spirit Whom, with the Father and the Son together,

we worship and glorify as One God, world without end. AMEN.

ALMIGHTY God, who hast built Thy Church

upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief Corner-stone: Grant that, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, all Christians may be so joined together in unity of spirit, and in the bond of peace, that they may be an holy temple acceptable unto Thee. And especially to this congregation present give the abundance of Thy grace; that with one heart they may desire the prosperity of Thy holy Apostolic Church, and with one mouth may profess the faith once delivered to the Saints. Defend them from the sins of heresy and schism; let not the foot of pride come nigh to hurt them, nor the hand of the ungodly to cast them down. And grant that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by Thy governance, that Thy Church may joyfully serve Thee in all godly quietness that so they may walk in the ways of truth and peace, and at last be numbered with Thy Saints in glory everlasting: Through Thy merits, O blessed Jesus, Thou gracious Bishop and Shepherd of our souls, Who art, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, One God, world without end. AMEN.

A

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.

LORD, we beseech Thee, let Thy continual pity

cleanse and defend Thy Church; and because it cannot continue in safety without Thy succour, preserve it evermore by Thy help and goodness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

author of all godliness: be ready, we beseech Thee, to hear the devout prayers of Thy Church; and grant that those things which we ask faithfully, we may obtain effectually, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

A

LMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this

time with one accord to make our common supplications unto Thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in Thy Name, Thou wilt grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of Thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of Thy Truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. AMEN.
