Go forth with his fleets and armies; and let thy mighty arm be with his chiefs and captains, as it was of old with thy servants, *Judas, and + Jonathan, and †Simon, when they valiantly withstood the wicked tyrants of their times, the enemies of thy truth, and the oppressors of thy people. Direct his counsels, prosper all his measures for the welfare of this kingdom, and the preservation of our Church, and of our Civil Constitution. And let no internal divisions, nor any other sins and provocations of this nation, obstruct his designs for the public good, nor bring down thy judgments upon us. But spare thy people, O Lord, spare them; and, by thy grace, so unite us in spitit of obedience to thy law, zeal for thy truth, and loyalty to thine anointed servant, whom thy good Providence has set over us, that we may evermore rejoice in thy salvation, through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord God of our salvation, in whose hands are the issues of life and death, of good and evil; without whose aid the coun sels of the wise, and the strength of the mighty are weak and vain; incline thine ear to the earnest supplications of thy servants, who not confiding in the multitude of their hosts, the abundance of their wealth, nor the weapons and accoutrements of war, do humbly flee unto thee, O Lord, for succour, and put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Be thou to us a tower of defence, and bless the arms of thy servant our Sovereign, in the maintenance of his just and lawful rights, against the assaults both of foreign war and domestic treason. Give grace, we beseech thee, to his rebellious subjects in Ireland, to see and confess the wickedness of their ways. Bring them to a due sense of the enormity of their crime in rising in open rebellion against the Crown of their lawful Sovereign, forgetful of the blessings they have enjoyed under his mild and equitable government: that so returning to their duty, they may become objects of thy mercy and forgiveness. And give us all grace, to put away from us all rancour of religious dissention, that they who agree in the essentials of our most holy faith, and look for pardon through the merits and intercession of the Saviour, may, notwithstanding their differences upon points of doubtful opinion, and in the forms of external worship, still be united in the bonds of christian charity, and fulfil thy blessed Son's commandment, of loving one another, as he hath loved them. These things we beg, O merciful Father, for Jesus Christ's

[blocks in formation]

sake, our only mediator and advocate. Amen.

We humbly beseech thee, most merciful God, that, by thy grace, thou wouldst keep alive in us, who have this day presumed to implore such great blessings at thy hauds, a constant sense of thy presence, and of our dependence upon thee. Suffer us not to return to our former sinfulness and disobe. dience, nor again to yield to those evil pas sions and desires which have brought down thy just judgments upon us: but, save us, O God; save us, not only from worldly, but also from our spiritual enemies; and most especially save us from ourselves, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Then the Prayer for the High Court of Parliament, and the General Thank-giving. Then read to the end of the Morning Prayer as usual.

THE COMMUNION SERVICE.

After the Prayer for the King [Almighty God whose Kingdom is everlasting] shall be read the Collect of the Day, as in the Morning Prayer, [O Almighty God who rulest,] and then shall follow

For the Epistle. Rev. chap. III. ver. 14 to 19.-And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art nei her cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

The Gospel. St. Luke, chap. XIII. ver. 1 to 6.-There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering, said unto them, suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered these things? I tell you, nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem; I tell you, nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Then shall follow the Nicene Creed: and after that the Sermon.

After the Prayer [for the whole state of Christ's Church] the following shall be used.

A Prayer for our Enemies, and for Support under Persecution.-Almighty God, who hast disposed the heart of our Sovereign to unite us this day in prayer and supplication for the pardon of our sins: thou hast commanded us to love our enemies, and to pray for them that persecute us. Vouchsafe to accept now our prayers, for the repentance and conversion of men, who have cast off their faith in thee; and, following the vain imaginations of reprobate minds, have plonged themselves into crimes and impieties, which astonish the nations of the earth. Open their eyes, O Lord, that they may see and consider, with detestation and horror, the ravages of their cruelty. Strike them, in thy mercy, with remorse and compunction before they fill up the measure of their iniquities; and grant, O God, unto us thy servants grace, whilst we behold with compassion the miseries they have inflicted upon the objects of their fury, to recollect the many calamities from which we, by thy merciful Providence, have been hitherto exempted. Continue to us, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy merciful protection, and shield us from the arms of the destroyer. And in all seasons, whether of success or adversity, prosperity or tribulation, give us hearts to be truly thankful for thy goodness, fearful of thy displeasure, and sensible of thy presence; that, at all times putting our whole trust and confidence in thee, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. And to all those, who may be ordained to suffer for thy sake, impart, O merciful Lord, such plentiful succours of thy Holy Spirit; pour into their souls such contempt of pain and death; kindle in their hearts such love of thee, and zeal for thy truth; fill them with sach animating hope of immortality, that, after the, example of the blessed Saints and Martyrs of the primitive ages, they may so steadily confess thee before men, that having glorified thy name by their sufferings upon earth, they may obtain of thee an everlasting crown of glory. And grant, to us all, such a denial of ungodliness and worldly affections, that we may be able to look forward with hope to the consummation of all things, and to the glorious appearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; to whom with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end. Amen. Almighty God, who hast promised to hear

the petitions of them that ask in thy Son's name; we beseech thee mercifully to incline thine ears to us that have made now 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.

Then the Priest (or Bishop, if he be present) shall let them depart with this Blessing.

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

THE ORDER FOR EVENING PRAYER.

Let him that ministereth read with a loud Voice these Sentences of Scripture, and after them the Exhortation, Dearly beloved Brethren, &c.

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.

In my trouble I will call upon the Lord, and complain unto my God. So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple; my complaint shall come before him. The Hymn appointed to be used at Morning Prayer, instead of the Venite, &c. shall here also be used before the proper Psalms.--Proper Psalms, xxxvii. and xlix.-First Lesson, 2 Chron. xx. to the end of ver. 24.-My soul doth magnify the Lord, &c. St. Luke i. 46. - Second Lesson, 1 Cor. x. to end of ver. 13 —God be merciful unto us, &c. Psalm 1xvii.Then the Creed, &c. to the end of the Lord's Prayer. Then the Priest, standing up, shall say,

Priest. O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us,
Answ. And grant us thy salvation.
Priest. O Lord, save the King!
Answ. Who putteth his trust in thee.
Priest. Send him help from thy holy

place,

Answ. And evermore mightily defend

him.

Priest. Let his enemies have no advantage against him,

Answ. Let not the wicked approach to hurt him.

Priest. O Lord, save thy people,
Answ. And bless thine inheritance.

Priest. Give peace in our time, O Lord, Answ. And make thy chosen people joyful.

[ocr errors]

This collect to be used instead of the first collect for evening prayer, O Almighty God, who rulest over all the nations of the earth, and on whose gracious providence they depend evermore for preservation and prosperity; extend, we beseech thee, thine accustomed goodness to the people of this kingdom; who, looking up to thee, as the author of all blessings, and their sure safeguard and mighty deliverer in all dangers and difficulties, do now implore thy watchful care and protection. Vouchsafe to guide us continually with thy counsel, to strengthen us with thy powerful arm, and to crown with success our necessary endeavours against the unjust attempts of our enemies, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

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 cannot 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.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, we ac knowledge, with penitent hearts, that we have been blessed, beyond other nations, in the knowledge and undi turbed profession of thy truth, and in the long possession of abundant temporal prosperity and we confess, that like the Israelites of old, we have too often turned our backs on thee, and sought our peace and security in our own inventions Restore us, O Lord, to a dutiful sense of thee in this time of our visitation. Grant us grace to put away all ungodliness and sinful lusts, and so to hold fast the profession of our faith in purity of heart and mind, that thy judgments may be withdrawn from us, and we may become distinguished objects of thy mercy, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

Then the people shall say, after the minister:-Turn thou us, O good Lord, and so shall we be turned. Be favourable, O Lord, be favourable to thy people, who turn to thee in weeping, fasting, and praying. For thou art a merciful God, full of compassion,

long-suffering, and of great pity. Thou sparest when we deserve punishment, and in thy wrath thinkest upon mercy. Spare thy people, good Lord, spare them, and let not thine heritage be brought to confusion. Hear us, O Lord, for thy mercy is great, and after the multitude of thy mercies look upon us, through the merits and mediation of thy blessed Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen, Then shall follow the usual prayers for the king, queen, and royal family, and the clergy; and instead of the prayer in time of war and tumults, the two following shall be used.

O Almighty God, [as in p. 1977]

O Lord God of our salvation, [as in p. 1979,] and then the following:-We hombly beseech thee, most merciful God, that, by thy grace, thou wouldst keep alive in us, who have this day presumed to implore such great blessings at thy hands, a constant sense of thy presence, and of our dependence upon thee. Suffer us not to return to our former sinfulness and disobedience, nor again to yield to those evil passions and desires which have brought down thy just judgments upon us: but save us, O God; save us, not only from our worldly, but also from our spiritual enemies; and most especially save us from ourselves, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A prayer for our enemies, and for support under persecution.-Almighty God, who hast disposed the heart of our Sovereign to unite us this day in prayer and supplication for the pardon of our sins: Thou hast commanded us to love our enemies, and to pray for them that persecute us. Vouchsafe to accept now our prayers, for the repentance and conversion of men,, who have cast off their faith in thee; and, following the vain imaginations of reprobate minds, have plunged themselves into crimes and impieties, which astonish the nations of the earth. Open their eyes, O Lord, that they may see and consider, with detestation and horror, the ravages of their cruelty. Strike them, in thy mercy, with remorse and compunc tion before they fill up the measure of their iniquities; and grant, O God, unto us thy servants grace, whilst we behold with compassion the miseries they have inflicted upon the objects of their fury, to recollect the many calamities from which we, by thy mer ciful providence, have been hitherto exempted. Continue to us, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy merciful protection, and shield us from the arms of the destroyer. And in all seasons, whether of success or adversity, prosperity or tribulation, give us hearts to be truly thankful for thy goodness, fearful of

thy displeasure, and sensible of thy presence; that, at all times putting our whole trust and confidence in thee, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. And to all those, who may be ordained to suffer for thy sake, impart, O merciful Lord, such plentiful succours of thy holy spirit; pour into their souls such contempt of pain and death; kindle in their hearts such love of thee, and zeal for thy truth; fill them with such animating hope of immortality, that, after the example of the blessed saints and martyrs of the primitive ages, they may so steadily confess thee before men, that having glorified thy name by their sufferings upon earth, they may obtain of thee an everlasting crown of glory. And grant, to us all, such a denial of ungodliness and worldly affections, that we may be able to look forward with hope to the consummation of all things, and to the glorious appearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; to whom with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end.

Amen.

Then the prayer for the high court of Par

liament;-for all sorts and conditions of men; and the general thanksgiving.

A prayer of St. Chryso-tom.-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 Cor. XIII. 14.-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.
