THE PREFACE
It hath been the wisdom of the Church of England, ever since the
first compiling of her Public Liturgy, to keep the mean between
the two extremes, of too much stiffness in refusing, and of too
much easiness in admitting any variation from it. For, as on the
one side common experience sheweth, that where a change hath been
made of things advisedly established (no evident necessity so
requiring) sundry inconveniences have thereupon ensued; and those
many times more and greater than the evils, that were intended to
be remedied by such change: So on the other side, the particular
Forms of Divine worship, and the Rites and Ceremonies appointed to
be used therein, being things in their own nature indifferent, and
alterable, and so acknowledged; it is but reasonable, that upon
weighty and important considerations, according to the various
exigency of times and occasions, such changes and alterations
should be made therein, as to those that are in place of Authority
should from time to time seem either necessary or expedient.
Accordingly we find, that in the Reigns of several Princes of
blessed memory since the Reformation, the Church, upon just and
weighty considerations her thereunto moving, hath yielded to make
such alterations in some particulars, as in their respective
times were thought convenient: Yet so, as that the main Body and
Essentials of it (as well in the chiefest materials, as in the
frame and order thereof) have still continued the same unto this
day, and do yet stand firm and unshaken, notwithstanding all the
vain attempts and impetuous assaults made against it, by such men
as are given to change, and have always discovered a greater
regard to their own private fancies and interests, than to that
duty they owe to the public.
By what undue means, and for what mischievous purposes the use of
the Liturgy (though enjoined by the Laws of the Land, and those
Laws never yet repealed) came, during the late unhappy confusions,
to be discontinued, is too well known to the world, and we are
not willing here to remember. But when, upon His Majesty's happy
Restoration, it seemed probable, that, amongst other things, the
use of the Liturgy also would return of course (the same having
never been legally abolished) unless some timely means were used
to prevent it; those men who under the late usurped powers had
made it a great part of their business to render the people
disaffected thereunto, saw themselves in point of reputation and
interest concerned (unless they would freely acknowledge themselves
to have erred, which such men are very hardly brought to do) with
their utmost endeavours to hinder the restitution thereof. In
order whereunto divers Pamphlets were published against the Book
of Common Prayer, the old Objections mustered up, with the addition
of some new ones, more than formerly had been made, to make the
number swell. In fine, great importunities were used to His Sacred
Majesty, that the said Book might be revised, and such Alterations
therein, and Additions thereunto made, as should be thought
requisite for the ease of tender Consciences: whereunto His
Majesty, out of his pious inclination to give satisfaction (so
far as could be reasonably expected) to all his subjects of what
persuasion soever, did graciously condescend.
In which review we have endeavoured to observe the like moderation,
as we find to have been used in the like case in former times.
And therefore of the sundry Alterations proposed unto us, we
have rejected all such as were either of dangerous consequence
(as secretly striking at some established Doctrine, or laudable
Practice of the Church of England, or indeed of the whole Catholic
Church of Christ) or else of no consequence at all, but utterly
frivolous and vain. But such Alterations as were tendered to us
(by what persons, under what pretences, or to what purpose soever
so tendered) as seemed to us in any degree requisite or expedient,
we have willingly, and of our own accord assented unto: not
enforced so to do by any strength of Argument, convincing us
of the necessity of making the said Alterations: For we are
fully persuaded in our judgements (and we here profess it to
the world) that the Book, as it stood before established by
Law, doth not contain in it any thing contrary to the Word of
God, or to sound Doctrine, or which a godly man may not with a
good Conscience use and submit unto, or which is not fairly
defensible against any that shall oppose the same; if it shall
be allowed such just and favourable construction as in common
Equity ought to be allowed to all human Writings, especially
such as are set forth by Authority, and even to the very best
translations of the holy Scripture itself.
Our general aim therefore in this undertaking was, not to gratify
this or that party in any their unreasonable demands; but to do
that, which to our best understandings we conceived might most
tend to the preservation of Peace and Unity in the Church; the
procuring of Reverence, and exciting of Piety and Devotion in
the Public Worship of God; and the cutting off occasion from
them that seek occasion of cavil or quarrel against the Liturgy
of the Church. And as to the several variations from the former
Book, whether by Alteration, Addition, or otherwise, it shall
suffice to give this general account, That most of the Alterations
were made, either first, for the better direction of them that
are to officiate in any part of Divine Service; which is chiefly
done in the Kalendars and Rubrics: Or secondly, for the more
proper expressing of some words or phrases of ancient usage in
terms more suitable to the language of the present times, and
the clearer explanation of some other words and phrases, that
were either of doubtful signification, or otherwise liable to
misconstruction: Or thirdly, for a more perfect rendering of
such portions of holy Scripture, as are inserted into the Liturgy;
which, in the Epistles and Gospels especially, and in sundry other
places, are now ordered to be read according to the last
Translation: and that it was thought convenient, that some
Prayers and Thanksgivings, fitted to special occasions, should
be added in their due places; particularly for those at Sea,
together with an office for the Baptism of such as are of Riper
Years: which, although not so necessary when the former Book
was compiled, yet by the growth of Anabaptism, through the
licentiousness of the late times crept in amongst us, is now
become necessary, and may be always useful for the baptizing of
Natives in our Plantations, and others converted to the Faith.
If any man, who shall desire a more particular account of the
several alterations in any part of the Liturgy, shall take the
pains to compare the present Book with the former; we doubt not
but the reason of the change may easily appear.
And having thus endeavoured to discharge our duties in this
weighty affair, as in the sight of God, and to approve our
sincerity therein (so far as lay in us) to the consciences
of all men; although we know it impossible (in such variety
of apprehensions, humours and interests, as are in the world)
to please all; nor can expect that men of factious, peevish,
and perverse spirits should be satisfied with any thing that
can be done in this kind by any other than themselves: Yet we
have good hope, that what is here presented, and hath been by
the Convocations of both Provinces with great diligence examined
and approved, will be also well accepted and approved by all
sober, peaceable, and truly conscientious Sons of the Church of
England.
CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF
THE CHURCH
There was never any thing by the wit of man so well devised, or
so sure established, which in continuance of time hath not been
corrupted: As, among other things, it may plainly appear by the
Common Prayers in the Church, commonly called _Divine Service_.
The first original and ground whereof if a man would search out
by the ancient Fathers, he shall find, that the same was not
ordained but of a good purpose, and for a great advancement of
godliness. For they so ordered the matter, that all the whole
Bible (or the greatest part thereof) should be read over once
every year; intending thereby, that the Clergy, and especially
such as were Ministers in the congregation, should (by often
reading, and meditation in God's word) be stirred up to godliness
themselves, and be more able to exhort others by wholesome
doctrine, and to confute them that were adversaries to the
truth; and further, that the people (by daily hearing of holy
Scripture read in the Church) might continually profit more and
more in the knowledge of God, and be the more inflamed with the
love of his true Religion.
But these many years passed, this godly and decent order of the
ancient Fathers hath been so altered, broken, and neglected, by
planting in uncertain Stories, and Legends, with multitude of
Responds, Verses, vain Repetitions, Commemorations, and Synodals;
that commonly when any Book of the Bible was begun, after three
or four Chapters were read out, all the rest were unread. And
in this sort the Book of Isaiah was begun in _Advent_, and the
Book of Genesis in _Septuagesima_; but they were only begun, and
never read through: After like sort were other Books of holy
Scripture used. And moreover, whereas St Paul would have such
language spoken to the people in the Church, as they might
understand, and have profit by hearing the same; The Service in
this Church of England these many years hath been read in Latin
to the people, which they understand not; so that they have heard
with their ears only, and their heart, spirit, and mind, have not
been edified thereby. And furthermore, notwithstanding that the
ancient Fathers have divided the Psalms into seven Portions,
whereof every one was called a _Nocturn:_ Now of late time a
few of them have been daily said, and the rest utterly omitted.
Moreover, the number and hardness of the Rules called the _Pie_,
and the manifold changings of the Service, was the cause, that to
turn the Book only was so hard and intricate a matter, that many
times there was more business to find out what should be read,
than to read it when it was found out.
These inconveniences therefore considered, here is set forth such
an Order, whereby the same shall be redressed. And for a readiness
in this matter, here is drawn out a Kalendar for that purpose,
which is plain and easy to be understood; wherein (so much as
may be) the reading of holy Scripture is so set forth, that
all things shall be done in order, without breaking one piece
from another. For this cause be cut off Anthems, Responds,
Invitatories, and such like things as did break the continual
course of the reading of the Scripture.
Yet, because there is no remedy, but that of necessity there must
be some Rules; therefore certain Rules are here set forth; which,
as they are few in number, so they are plain and easy to be
understood. So that here you have an Order for Prayer, and for
the reading of the holy Scripture, much agreeable to the mind
and purpose of the old Fathers, and a great deal more profitable
and commodious, than that which of late was used. It is more
profitable, because here are left out many things, whereof some
are untrue, some uncertain, some vain and superstitious; and
nothing is ordained to be read, but the very pure Word of God,
the holy Scriptures, or that which is agreeable to the same;
and that in such a Language and Order as is most easy and plain
for the understanding both of the Readers and Hearers. It is also
more commodious, both for the shortness thereof, and for the
plainness of the Order, and for that the Rules be few and easy.
And whereas heretofore there hath been great diversity in saying
and singing in Churches within this Realm; some following Salisbury
Use, some Hereford Use, and some the Use of Bangor, some of York,
some of Lincoln; now from henceforth all the whole Realm shall
have but one Use.
And forasmuch as nothing can be so plainly set forth, but doubts
may arise in the use and practice of the same; to appease all
such diversity (if any arise) and for the resolution of all
doubts, concerning the manner how to understand, do, and execute,
the things contained in this Book; the parties that so doubt, or
diversely take any thing, shall alway resort to the Bishop of the
Diocese, who by his discretion shall take order for the quieting
and appeasing of the same; so that the same order be not contrary
to any thing contained in this Book. And if the Bishop of the
Diocese be in doubt, then he may send for the resolution thereof
to the Archbishop.
Though it be appointed, That all things shall be read and sung in
the Church in the English Tongue, to the end that the Congregation
may be thereby edified; yet it is not meant, but that when men
say Morning and Evening Prayer privately, they may say the same
in any language that they themselves do understand.
And all Priests and Deacons are to say daily the Morning and
Evening Prayer either privately or openly, not being let by
sickness, or some other urgent cause.
And the Curate that ministereth in every Parish Church or Chapel,
being at home, and not being otherwise reasonably hindered,
shall say the same in the Parish Church or Chapel where he
ministereth, and shall cause a Bell to be tolled thereunto a
convenient time before he begin, that the people may come to
hear God's Word, and to pray with him.
OF CEREMONIES,
WHY SOME BE ABOLISHED, AND SOME RETAINED
Of such Ceremonies as be used in the Church, and have had their
beginning by the institution of man, some at the first were of
godly intent and purpose devised, and yet at length turned to
vanity and superstition: some entered into the Church by undiscreet
devotion, and such a zeal as was without knowledge; and for
because they were winked at in the beginning, they grew daily to
more and more abuses, which not only for their unprofitableness,
but also because they have much blinded the people, and obscured
the glory of God, are worthy to be cut away, and clean rejected:
other there be, which although they have been devised by man, yet
it is thought good to reserve them still, as well for a decent
order in the Church, (for the which they were first devised) as
because they pertain to edification, whereunto all things done in
the Church (as the Apostle teacheth) ought to be referred.
And although the keeping or omitting of a Ceremony, in itself
considered, is but a small thing; yet the wilful and contemptuous
transgression and breaking of a common order and discipline is
no small offence before God, _Let all things be done among you_,
saith Saint Paul, _in a seemly and due order:_ The appointment of
the which order pertaineth not to private men; therefore no man
ought to take in hand, nor presume to appoint or alter any public
or common Order in Christ's Church, except he be lawfully called
and authorized thereunto.
And whereas in this our time, the minds of men are so diverse,
that some think it a great matter of conscience to depart from a
piece of the least of their Ceremonies, they be so addicted to
their old customs; and again on the other side, some be so
new-fangled, that they would innovate all things, and so despise
the old, that nothing can like them, but that is new: it was
thought expedient, not so much to have respect how to please
and satisfy either of these parties, as how to please God, and
profit them both. And yet lest any man should be offended, whom
good reason might satisfy, here be certain causes rendered, why
some of the accustomed Ceremonies be put away, and some retained
and kept still.
Some are put away, because the great excess and multitude of them
hath so increased in these latter days, that the burden of them
was intolerable; whereof Saint Augustine in his time complained,
that they were grown to such a number, that the estate of Christian
people was in worse case concerning that matter, than were the
Jews. And he counselled that such yoke and burden should be taken
away, as time would serve quietly to do it. But what would Saint
Augustine have said, if he had seen the Ceremonies of late days
used among us; whereunto the multitude used in his time was not
to be compared? This our excessive multitude of Ceremonies was
so great, and many of them so dark, that they did more confound
and darken, than declare and set forth Christ's benefits unto us.
And besides this, Christ's Gospel is not a Ceremonial Law, (as
much of Moses' Law was,) but it is a Religion to serve God, not
in bondage of the figure or shadow, but in the freedom of the
Spirit; being content only with those Ceremonies which do serve
to a decent Order and godly Discipline, and such as be apt to
stir up the dull mind of man to the remembrance of his duty to
God, by some notable and special signification, whereby he might
be edified. Furthermore, the most weighty cause of the abolishment
of certain Ceremonies was, That they were so far abused, partly
by the superstitious blindness of the rude and unlearned, and
partly by the unsatiable avarice of such as sought more their
own lucre, than the glory of God, that the abuses could not well
be taken away, the thing remaining still.
But now as concerning those persons, which peradventure will be
offended, for that some of the old Ceremonies are retained still:
If they consider that without some Ceremonies it is not possible
to keep any Order, or quiet Discipline in the Church, they shall
easily perceive just cause to reform their judgements. And if
they think much, that any of the old do remain, and would rather
have all devised anew: then such men granting some Ceremonies
convenient to be had, surely where the old may be well used,
there they cannot reasonably reprove the old only for their age,
without bewraying of their own folly. For in such a case they
ought rather to have reverence unto them for their antiquity, if
they will declare themselves to be more studious of unity and
concord, than of innovations and new-fangleness, which (as much
as may be with the true setting forth of Christ's Religion) is
always to be eschewed. Furthermore, such shall have no just cause
with the Ceremonies reserved to be offended. For as those be taken
away which were most abused, and did burden men's consciences
without any cause; so the other that remain, are retained for a
discipline and order, which (upon just causes) may be altered
and changed, and therefore are not to be esteemed equal with
God's Law. And moreover, they be neither dark nor dumb Ceremonies,
but are so set forth, that every man may understand what they do
mean, and to what use they do serve. So that it is not like that
they in time to come should be abused as other have been. And in
these our doings we condemn no other Nations, nor prescribe any
thing but to our own people only: For we think it convenient that
every Country should use such Ceremonies as they shall think best
to the setting forth of God's honour and glory, and to the reducing
of the people to a most perfect and godly living, without error or
superstition; and that they should put away other things, which
from time to time they perceive to be most abused, as in men's
ordinances it often chanceth diversely in divers countries.
THE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER IS APPOINTED
TO BE READ
The Psalter shall be read through once every Month, as it is there
appointed, both for Morning and Evening Prayer. But in _February_
it shall be read only to the twenty-eighth, or twenty-ninth day of
the Month.
And, whereas _January_, _March_, _May_, _July_, _August_, _October_,
and _December_ have One-and-thirty days apiece; It is ordered,
that the same Psalms shall be read the last day of the said months,
which were read the day before: So that the Psalter may begin
again the first day of the next month ensuing.
And, whereas the 119th Psalm is divided into twenty-two portions,
and is over-long to be read at one time; It is so ordered, that
at one time shall not be read above four or five of the said
portions.
And at the end of every Psalm, and of every such part of the
119th Psalm, shall be repeated this Hymn,
_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. Amen._
Note, that the Psalter followeth the Division of the Hebrews,
and the Translation of the great English Bible, set forth and
used in the time of King Henry the Eighth, and Edward the Sixth.
THE ORDER HOW THE REST OF HOLY
SCRIPTURE IS APPOINTED TO BE READ
The Old Testament is appointed for the First Lessons at Morning
and Evening Prayer, so as the most part thereof will be read
every year once, as in the Kalendar is appointed.
The New Testament is appointed for the Second Lessons at Morning
and Evening Prayer, and shall be read over orderly every year
twice, once in the morning and once in the evening, besides the
Epistles and Gospels, except the Apocalypse, out of which there
are only certain Lessons appointed at the end of the year, and
certain Proper Lessons appointed upon divers feasts.
And to know what Lessons shall be read every day, look for the
day of the Month in the Kalendar following, and there ye shall
find the chapters and portions of chapters that shall be read
for the Lessons, both at Morning and Evening Prayer, except only
the moveable feasts, which are not in the Kalendar, and the
immoveable, where there is a blank left in the column of Lessons,
the Proper Lessons for all which days are to be found in the
Table of Proper Lessons.
If Evening Prayer is said at two different times in the same
place of worship on any Sunday (except a Sunday for which
alternative Second Lessons are specially appointed in the Table,)
the Second Lesson at the second time may, at the discretion of
the minister, be any chapter from the four Gospels, or any
Lesson appointed in the Table of Lessons from the four Gospels.
Upon occasions, to be approved by the Ordinary, other Lessons may,
with his consent, be substituted for those which are appointed in
the Kalendar.
And note, That whensoever Proper Psalms or Lessons are appointed,
then the Psalms and Lessons of ordinary course appointed in the
Psalter and Kalendar (if they be different) shall be omitted for
that time.
Note also, That upon occasions to be appointed by the Ordinary,
other Psalms may, with his consent, be substituted for those
appointed in the Psalter.
If any of the Holy-days for which Proper Lessons are appointed in
the Table fall upon a Sunday which is the first Sunday in Advent,
Easter-day, Whitsunday, or Trinity Sunday, the Lessons appointed
for such Sunday shall be read, but if it fall upon any other
Sunday, the Lessons appointed either for the Sunday or for the
Holy-day may be read at the discretion of the minister.
Note also, That the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel appointed for
the Sunday shall serve all the week after, where it is not in
this Book otherwise ordered.

THE ORDER FOR
MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER
DAILY TO BE SAID AND USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Morning and Evening Prayer shall be used in the accustomed place
of the Church, Chapel, or Chancel; except it shall be otherwise
determined by the Ordinary of the place. And the Chancels shall
remain as they have done in times past.
And here is to be noted, that such Ornaments of the Church, and
of the Ministers thereof at all times of their Ministration,
shall be retained, and be in use, as were in this Church of
England by the Authority of Parliament, in the Second Year of
the Reign of King Edward the Sixth.
REQUESTS FOR THE PRAYERS OF THE CONGREGATION
| _When the prayers of the congregation are desired on behalf of_
| _sick persons, sufferers from any public calamity, or others,_
| _the Minister may give notice of the same before he begins the_
| _Litany, and may insert the words_ especially those for whom our
| prayers are desired _in the relative suffrage to which the case_
| _is appropriate. Such notice may also be given at Morning or_
| _Evening Prayer before any prayers after the Third Collect are_
| _said, or in the Holy Communion before the Prayer for the_
| _whole state of Christ's Church is said_.
|
| _And, when prayer is desired on behalf of any sick person, the_
| _Minister may during Divine Service use the Collect appointed_
| _for the Communion of the Sick, inserting after the words_
| visited with thine hand _the words_ for whom our prayers are
| desired, _or he may use any of the prayers in the Order for_
| _the Visitation of the Sick, as the case may seem to him to_
| _require_.
THE ORDER FOR
MORNING PRAYER
DAILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
_At the beginning of Morning Prayer the Minister shall read with
a loud voice some one or more of these Sentences of the Scriptures
that follow. And then he shall say that which is written after
the said Sentences_.
When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he
hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he
shall save his soul alive. _Ezek_. xviii. 27.
I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
_Psalm_ li. 3.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
_Psalm_ li. 9.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. _Psalm_ li. 17.
Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord
your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. _Joel_ ii. 13.
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we
have rebelled against him: neither have we obeyed the voice of
the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us.
_Dan_. ix. 9, 10.
Lord, correct me, but with judgement; not in thine anger, lest
thou bring me to nothing. _Jer_. x. 24. _Psalm_ vi. 1.
Repent ye; for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. _St Matth_. iii. 2.
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father,
I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more
worthy to be called thy son. _St Luke_ xv. 18, 19.
Enter not into judgement with thy servant, O Lord; for in thy
sight shall no man living be justified. _Psalm_ cxliii. 2.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us: but if we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. 1 _St John_ i. 8, 9.
| _These sentences of Scripture may be used at the beginning of_
| _Morning Prayer at the Great Festivals_.
|
| _Christmas-day and seven days after_.
|
| Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which
| is Christ the Lord. _St Luke_ ii. 11.
|
| _Easter-day and seven days after_.
|
| The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia. _St Luke_ xxiv. 34.
|
| _Ascension-day and seven days after_.
|
| Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting
| doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. _Psalm_ xxiv. 7.
|
| _Or_, We have a great high priest that is passed into the
| heavens, Jesus the Son of God. Let us therefore come boldly
| unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
| grace to help in time of need. _Heb_. iv. 14, 16.
|
| _Whitsunday and six days after_.
|
| When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
| one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from
| heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
| where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven
| tongues, like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them: and
| they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. _Acts_ ii. 1-4.
Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places
to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and
that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of
Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble,
lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain
forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And
although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins
before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble
and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that
we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy
praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things
which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the
soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here
present, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voice unto
the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me:
| _The exhortation_, Dearly beloved brethren, _except on occasions_
| _specified by the Bishop, may be omitted, or may be abbreviated_
| _as follows:_
|
| Dearly beloved brethren, I pray and beseech you, as many as are
| here present, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble
| voice unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me;
|
| _Or the following may be said instead_,
|
| Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
_A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation after
the Minister, all kneeling_.
Almighty and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed
from thy ways like lost sheep, We have followed too much the
devices and desires of our own hearts, We have offended against
thy holy laws, We have left undone those things which we ought
to have done, And we have done those things which we ought not
to have done, And there is no health in us: But thou, O Lord,
have mercy upon us miserable offenders; Spare thou them, O God,
which confess their faults, Restore thou them that are penitent,
According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu
our Lord: And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, That
we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the
glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
_The Absolution or Remission of sins to be pronounced by the
Priest alone, standing: the people still kneeling_.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth
not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his
wickedness and live; and hath given power and commandment to his
Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent,
the Absolution and Remission of their sins: He pardoneth and
absolveth all them that truly repent and unfeignedly believe his
holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true
repentance and his Holy Spirit, that those things may please him
which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life
hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may come
to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
_The people shall answer here, and at the end of all other prayers_,
Amen.
_Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer with an
audible voice: the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him,
both here, and wheresoever else it is used in Divine Service_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As
we forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into
temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
_Then likewise he shall say_,
O Lord, open thou our lips.
_Answer_. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
_Priest_. O God, make speed to save us.
_Answer_. O Lord, make haste to help us.
_Here, all standing up, the Priest shall say_,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
_Answer_. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
_Priest_. Praise ye the Lord.
_Answer_. The Lord's Name be praised.
_Then shall be said or sung this Psalm following: Except on
Easter-day, upon which another Anthem is appointed: and on the
nineteenth day of every month it is not to be read here, but in
the ordinary course of the Psalms_.
| _The Easter Anthems may be used for seven days after Easter_.
VENITE, EXULTEMUS DOMINO.
Psalm xcv.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the
strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and shew
ourselves glad in him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God: and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth: and the strength of
the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land.
O come, let us worship, and fall down: and kneel before the Lord
our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the
provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me: proved me, and saw my works.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said: It
is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known
my ways.
Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my
rest.
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. Amen.
_Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they be appointed. And
at the end of every Psalm throughout the year, and likewise in
the end of_ Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, _and_ Nunc
dimittis, _shall be repeated_,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
_Answer_. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
_Then shall be read distinctly with an audible voice the First
Lesson, taken out of the Old Testament as is appointed in the
Kalendar: Except there be proper Lessons assigned for that day:
He that readeth so standing and turning himself, as he may best
be heard of all such as are present. And after that shall be said
or sung, in English, the Hymn called_ Te Deum Laudamus, _daily
throughout the year_.
_Note that before every Lesson the Minister shall say_, Here
beginneth such a Chapter, _or_ Verse of such a Chapter, of
such a Book: _And after every Lesson_, Here endeth the First,
_or_ the Second Lesson,
TE DEUM LAUDAMUS.
We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud: the heavens and all the powers
therein.
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin: continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth.
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge thee;
The Father: of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true: and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter.
Thou art the King of glory: O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man: thou didst not abhor
the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: thou didst open
the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come: to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou hast redeemed
with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints: in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine heritage.
Govern them: and lift them up for ever.
Day by day: we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name: ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.

_Then shall be read in like manner the Second Lesson, taken out
of the New Testament. And after that the Hymn following: Except
when that shall happen to be read in the Chapter for the day, or
for the Gospel on Saint John Baptist's Day_.
BENEDICTUS.
St Luke i. 68.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for he hath visited, and
redeemed his people;
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of
his servant David;
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets: which have been
since the world began;
That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the hands of
all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember
his holy covenant;
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham: that
he would give us;
That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies: might
serve him without fear;
In holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of our life.
And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: for
thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission
of their sins;
Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from
on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of
death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
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. Amen.
_Or this Psalm_,
JUBILATE DEO.
Psalm c.
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with
gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of
his Name.
For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth
endureth from generation to generation.
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. Amen.
_Then shall be sung or said the Apostles Creed, by the Minister
and the people standing: Except only such days as the Creed of
Saint Athanasius is appointed to be read_.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The
Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection
of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.
_And after that, these Prayers following, all devoutly kneeling:
the Minister first pronouncing with a loud voice_,
The Lord be with you.
_Answer_. And with thy spirit.
_Minister_. Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Christ, have mercy upon us_.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Then the Minister, Clerks, and people shall say the Lord's Prayer
with a loud voice_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.

_Then shall follow three Collects: The first of the day, which
shall be the same that is appointed at the Communion: The second
for Peace: The third for Grace to live well. And the two last
Collects shall never alter, but daily be said at Morning Prayer
throughout all the year, as followeth, all kneeling_.
_The Second Collect, for Peace_.
O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in
knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is
perfect freedom: Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults
of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not
fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
_The Third Collect, for Grace_.
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who
hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day: Defend us
in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we
fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that
all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always
that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
_Amen_.
_In Quires and Places where they sing here followeth the Anthem_.
_Then these five Prayers following are to be read here: Except
when the Litany is read; and then only the two last are to be
ready as they are there placed_.
_A Prayer for the King's Majesty_.
O Lord our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings,
Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy
throne behold all the dwellers upon earth: Most heartily we
beseech thee with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign
Lord, King _GEORGE_, and so replenish him with the grace of thy
Holy Spirit, that he may alway incline to thy will, and walk in
thy way: Endue him plenteously with heavenly gifts; grant him in
health and wealth long to live; strengthen him that he may
vanquish and overcome all his enemies, and finally after this
life he may attain everlasting joy and felicity; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, _Amen_.
_A Prayer for the Royal Family_.
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech
thee to bless our gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen
Mother, _Edward_ Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: Endue
them with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace;
prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine ever
lasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
| _The following Prayer may be said at Morning Prayer, for the_
| _King, the Royal Family, the Ministers of the Crown, the_
| _Parliament_ (_when in session_), _and those in authority,_
| _instead of the Prayers_ For the King's Majesty, For the Royal
| Family, _and_ For the High Court of Parliament; _but always_
| _either the following Prayer, or those above noted, shall be_
| _used, together with the_ Prayer for the Clergy and People,
| _the_ Prayer of St Chrysostom, _and_ the Grace, _unless the_
| _Litany be said_.
|
| O Lord God of our fathers, who rulest the nations of the earth;
| Most heartily we beseech thee with thy favour to behold our
| Sovereign Lord, King _GEORGE_, that he may alway incline to thy
| will and walk in thy way; and together with him bless our
| gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother, _Edward_
| Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family. Endue with wisdom
| the Ministers of the Crown, [the High Court Of Parliament at
| this time assembled *,] and those who are set in authority over
| us, that all things may be so ordered and settled by their
| endeavours, that peace and happiness, truth and justice,
| religion and piety, may be established among us for all
| generations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| [Margin Note] *to be said when the Parliament is in Session.
_A Prayer for the Clergy and People_.
Almighty and everlasting God, who alone workest great marvels:
Send down upon our Bishops and Curates, and all Congregations
committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace;
and that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual
dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our
Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. _Amen_.
_A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom_.
Almighty 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_.
2 _Corinthians_ xiii.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and
the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.
_Here endeth the Order of Morning Prayer throughout the Year_.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite

God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. _Joel_ ii. 13.

have rebelled against him: neither have we obeyed the voice of the

O Lord, correct me, but with judgement; not in thine anger, lest
thou bring me to nothing. _Jer_. x. 24. _Psalm_ vi. 1.

| When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with

| were all filled with the Holy Ghost. _Acts_ ii. 1-4.
Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places
to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and
that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of
Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble,
lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain
forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And
although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins
before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble
and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we
have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise,
to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are
requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul.
Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present,
to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voice unto the
throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me:
| _The exhortation_, Dearly beloved brethren, _except on occasions_
| _specified by the Bishop, may be omitted, or may be abbreviated_
| _as follows_:
|
| Dearly beloved brethren, I pray and beseech you, as many as
| are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble
| voice unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me;
|
| _Or the following may be said instead_,
|
| Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
_A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation after
the Minister, all kneeling_.
Almighty and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed from
thy ways like lost sheep, We have followed too much the devices
and desires of our own hearts, We have offended against thy holy
laws, We have left undone those things which we ought to have
done, And we have done those things which we ought not to have
done, And there is no health in us: But thou, O Lord, have mercy
upon us miserable offenders; Spare thou them, O God, which
confess their faults, Restore thou them that are penitent,
According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu
our Lord: And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, That
we may here after live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To
the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
_The Absolution or Remission of sins to be pronounced by the
Priest alone, standing: the people still kneeling_.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth
not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his
wickedness and live; and hath given power and commandment to his
Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent,
the Absolution and Remission of their sins: He pardoneth and
absolveth all them that truly repent and unfeignedly believe
his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true
repentance and his Holy Spirit, that those things may please him
which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life
hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may
come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer: the
people also kneeling, and repeating it with him_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven, Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
_Then likewise he shall say_,
O Lord, open thou our lips.
_Answer_. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
_Priest_. O God, make speed to save us.
_Answer_. O Lord, make haste to help us.
_Here, all standing up, the Priest shall say_,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
_Answer_. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
_Priest_. Praise ye the Lord.
_Answer_. The Lord's Name be praised.
_Then shall be said or sung the Psalms in order as they be
appointed. Then a Lesson of the Old Testament, as is appointed.
And after that_ Magnificat (_or the Song of the Blessed Virgin
Mary_) _in English, as followeth_.
MAGNIFICAT.
St Luke i.
My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God
my Saviour.
For he hath regarded: the lowliness of his hand-maiden.
For behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations.
He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud
in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the
humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath
sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel: as he
promised to our forefathers Abraham and his seed for ever.
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. Amen.
_Or else this Psalm: Except it be on the nineteenth day of the
month, when it is read in the ordinary course of the Psalms_.
CANTATE DOMINO.
Psalm xcviii.
O sing unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done marvellous things.
With his own right hand, and with his holy arm: hath he gotten
himself the victory.
The Lord declared his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly
shewed in the sight of the heathen.
He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel:
and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands: sing, rejoice,
and give thanks.
Praise the Lord upon the harp: sing to the harp with a psalm of
thanksgiving.
With trumpets also and shawms: O shew yourselves joyful before
the Lord the King.
Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is: the round
world, and they that dwell therein.
Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful
together before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth.
With righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with
equity.
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. Amen.
_Then a Lesson of the New Testament, as it is appointed. And
after that_ Nunc dimittis (_or the Song of Simeon_) _in English,
as followeth_.
NUNC DIMITTIS.
St Luke ii. 29.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to
thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation;
Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of
thy people Israel.
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. Amen.
_Or else this Psalm: Except it be on the twelfth day of the month_.
DEUS MISEREATUR.
Psalm lxvii.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the light of
his countenance, and be merciful unto us:
That thy way may be known upon earth; thy saving health among all
nations.
Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad: for thou shalt judge the
folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase: and God, even our
own God, shall give us his blessing.
God shall bless us: and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
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. Amen.
_Then shall be said or sung the Apostles Creed, by the Minister
and the people standing_.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The
Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection
of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.
_And after that, these Prayers following, all devoutly kneeling:
the Minister first pronouncing with a loud voice_,
The Lord be with you.
_Answer_. And with thy spirit.
_Minister_. Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Christ, have mercy upon us_.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Then the Minister, Clerks, and people shall say the Lord's
Prayer with a loud voice_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.
_Then the Priest standing up shall say_,
O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us.
_Answer_. And grant us thy salvation.
_Priest_. O Lord, save the King.
_Answer_. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee.
_Priest_. Endue thy Ministers with righteousness.
_Answer_. And make thy chosen people joyful.
_Priest_. O Lord, save thy people.
_Answer_. And bless thine inheritance.
_Priest_. Give peace in our time, O Lord.
_Answer_. Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but
only thou, O God.
_Priest_. O God, make clean our hearts within us.
_Answer_. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
_Then shall follow three Collects: The first of the day: The
second for Peace: The third for Aid against all Perils, as
hereafter followeth: which two last Collects shall be daily
said at Evening Prayer without alteration_.
_The Second Collect at Evening Prayer_.
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all
just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace which
the world can not give; that both our hearts may be set to obey
thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from
the fear of our enemies may pass our time in rest and quietness;
through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. _Amen_.
_The Third Collect, for Aid against all Perils_.
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great
mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for
the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. _Amen_.
_In Quires and Places where they sing here followeth the Anthem_.
_A Prayer for the King's Majesty_.
O Lord our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, Lord
of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy throne
behold all the dwellers upon earth: Most heartily we beseech thee
with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign Lord, King
_GEORGE_, and so replenish him with the grace of thy Holy Spirit,
that he may alway incline to thy will, and walk in thy way: Endue
him plenteously with heavenly gifts; grant him in health and wealth
long to live; strengthen him that he may vanquish and overcome all
his enemies, and finally after this life he may attain everlasting
joy and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_A Prayer for the Royal Family_.
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech thee
to bless our gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother,
_Edward_ Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: Endue them
with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace; prosper
them with all happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting
kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
| _The following Prayer may be said at Evening Prayer, for the_
| _King, the Royal Family, the Ministers of the Crown, the_
| _Parliament_ (_when in session_), _and those in authority_,
| _instead of the Prayers_ For the King's Majesty, For the Royal
| Family, _and_ For the High Court of Parliament; _but always_
| _either the following Prayer, or those above noted, shall be_
| _used, together with the_ Prayer for the Clergy and People,
| _the_ Prayer of St Chrysostom, _and_ the Grace, _unless the_
| _Litany be said_.
|
| O Lord God of our fathers, who rulest the nations of the earth;

| Sovereign Lord, King _GEORGE_, that he may alway incline to thy
| will and walk in thy way; and together with him bless our
| gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother, _Edward_

| the Ministers of the Crown, [the High Court of Parliament at
| this time assembled *,] and those who are in set in authority
| over us, that all things may be so ordered and settled by their
| endeavours, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion
| and piety, may be established among us for all generations;
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| [Margin Note:] * to be said when the Parliament is in Session.
_A Prayer for the Clergy and People_.
Almighty and everlasting God, who alone workest great marvels:
Send down upon our Bishops and Curates, and all Congregations
committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace;
and that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual
dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our
Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. _Amen_.
_A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom_.
Almighty 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_.
2 _Corinthians_ xiii.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.
_Here endeth the Order of Evening Prayer throughout the Year_.
AT MORNING PRAYER
_Upon these Feasts_; Christmas-day, _the_ Epiphany, _Saint_
Matthias, Easter-day, Ascension-day, Whitsunday, _Saint_ John
Baptist, _Saint_ James, _Saint_ Bartholomew, _Saint_ Matthew,
_Saint_ Simon _and Saint_ Jude, _Saint_ Andrew, _and upon_ Trinity
Sunday, _shall be sung or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the
Apostles Creed, this Confession of our Christian Faith, commonly
called the Creed of Saint Athanasius, by the Minister and people
standing_.
QUICUNQUE VULT.
Whosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary that
he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled:
without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God in
Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance.
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and
another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible: and the
Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.
As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated:
but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: and the
Holy Ghost Almighty.
And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the Holy Ghost
Lord.
And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge
every Person by himself to be God and Lord;
So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion: to say there be three
Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and of the Son: neither made, nor
created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons:
one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is greater,
or less than another;
But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together: and co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and
the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity.
Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also
believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right Faith is that we believe and confess: that our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;
God of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and
Man of the Substance of his Mother, born in the world;
Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul and human flesh
subsisting;
Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the
Father, as touching his Manhood.
Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ;
One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking of
the Manhood into God;
One altogether, not by confusion of Substance: but by unity of
Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is
one Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose again the
third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the
Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to judge the quick
and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies: and
shall give account for their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting: and
they that have done evil into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic Faith: which except a man believe faithfully
he cannot be saved.
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. Amen.
THE LITANY

forefathers; neither take thou vengeance of our sins: spare us,
good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy
most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever.

contempt of thy Word and Commandment,

Circumcision; by thy Baptism, Fasting, and Temptation,
_Good Lord, deliver us_.
By thine Agony and bloody Sweat; by thy Cross and Passion; by thy
precious Death and Burial; by thy glorious Resurrection and
Ascension; and by the coming of the Holy Ghost,
_Good Lord, deliver us_.
In all time of our tribulation; in all time of our wealth; in
the hour of death, and in the day of judgement,
_Good Lord, deliver us_.
