MOKNING PRAYER.
God hatli redeemed us ; but we have lightly

esteemed this redemption.
We have all neglected this great salvation, and
have provoked God to cast us off.
He has called all men to serve and to obey
Him, but they did not like Him to reign over
them.
He has given to us all in our baptism His
Holy Spirit, but we have resisted His motions
within us.
He gave to His Church precepts and ordi-
nances, by which the Body of Christ might be
edified to the perfect Man, the measui-e of the
statm-e of His fulness; but we and our fathers
have despised them, and followed our own imagi-
nations : wherefore confusion has been wrought
in the house of God.
He commanded all Christians to live as brethren,

but we have lived in contention; in unity, but
we have~separated ourselves into many sects, and
no unity is to be seen on the earth. These evils
have been wi'ought even by those who have

thought to do God service, and to benefit the
souls of men.
God is grieved and displeased at the state of
His Chm-ch, and has preserved us unto this day
that we may repent and confess our sin, and

turn unto Him, that our sin may be blotted out,
and that He may still bless us.
For through our Lord Jesus Christ He will
forgive all who repent and turn to Him, con-

fessing their sins.
\_The following is given as a form 0/ Exhortation.]
TTOLY brethren, we are all by nature shapen

in iniquity, condemned by the law of God,
and ignorant of the way of peace. But God hath
given us the light of the knowledge of His glory
in the face of Jesus Christ, who, when He had by
Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right
hand of the IMajesty on high. God hath brought

life and immortality to light by the Gospel, and
hath given unto us the adoption of sons. The
darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
Yet have we not duly hearkened unto the Word

of this Salvation ; neither have we been steadfast
in the grace of our baptism and the hope of our

calling. We have resisted the motions, and hin-
dered the manifestation, of the Holy Spirit, and
have lightly esteemed the precepts and ordinances
given by our Lord at the first, for our perfecting
as one body. We have wrought defilement and

confusion in the house of God, and have, in diverse
manners, broken the unity of His Church. We
MORNING PRAYER.
have not served Him with a perfect heart, nor

continued in brotherly love. We have not been
unto all men the living epistle of Christ ; but we
have been ashamed of Him, we have brought re-
proach upon His Name, and we are found entangled
with the world, and overcome of evil. By these
things we have provoked God to cast us off.
Nevertheless unto this hour are we spared.
Our heavenly Father hath borne with the way-

wardness of His childi-en. He doth still regard
us in the pitifulness of His great mercy. He
would raise us out of the low estate into which
we have brought ourselves, and vouchsafe to us,
through the mediation of His Son, an abundant

entrance into His kingdom.
Wherefore let us humbly confess our sins, and
implore His forgiveness ; that, our consciences
being cleansed through the Blood of sprinkling,
we may at this time and henceforward acceptably
serve Him, and worthily magnify His holy Name.
The Confession.
To he repeated by the people after the Minister.
Let us pray.
A LMIGHTY 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.

Body of Christ We have resisted and grieved

Thy Holy Spirit We have forgotten, and

lightly esteemed, the ordinances which Thou
didst give at the beginning for the perfecting

of the saints ; The hope of the appearing and

purified ourselves as He is pm-e; And there is
no health in us.
But Thou, Lord, have mercy upon us,
miserable offenders. Spare us, good Lord ; spare
Thou them which confess their faults. Restore

Thou them that are penitent ; According to Thy
promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus
our Lord. And grant, most merciful Father,
for His sake ; That we may hereafter live a godly,
righteous, and sober life. To the glory of Thy

That He would give us

That we, being delivered out of the hand 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.

All baptised men have taken vows at their
baptism, which they have broken.
God made His Church one but throughout,;
nothing is now visible but division. The bre-

thren are seen, not living together in unity and
speaking the same thing, but biting and de-
vouring one another. In this state of division
His presence cannot be manifested.
The ordinances, which He did ordain for
bringing the Catholic Church unto perfection,

are set at nought.
Those who bear the name of Christ are not
longing for Him to come again into the world,
to set up His kingdom, and righteousness, and

peace.
All the institutions ordained by God for the
blessing of men have been perverted, and so have

failed to produce the end for which He gave
them. Power has been abused; the poor and
the weak have been oppressed, and not protected

the earnest of our inlieritance, and have preferred

the institutions of man to those of God. The
fellowship and common hope of the saints that
sleep, have passed from om* remembrance : Israel
after the flesh has not been stirred to jealousy:
and they who should have been the salt of the

earth are themselves become corrupt : darkness
and perplexity prevail : power is abused : au-
thority is despised : fountains of blessing are
dried up through unbelief. Men will no longer

bear the yoke of Christ : and, where the way of
the Lord should be prepared, there are the mani-
fold tokens of apostasy seen, and the voices of
blasphemy heard.
The sins of many generations lie sore upon us,
and have provoked God to consume us in His

anger ;
yet are we still the house of Christ. Al-
though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be white
as snow. God will keep us from the power of
darkness, and visit us with the Day-spring from
on high. Only let us acknowledge om- great
iniquity, that we may be loosed from the chain

intercession, an answer of peace.

r\ ALIMIGHTY GOD, wlio art greatly to be

^-^ feared in Thy holiness ; we are ashamed of
our manifold iniquities ; we confess unto Thee
our sin. We offend continually and grievously
in deedj in word, and in thought. Om- fathers
have transgressed against Thee ; and we, om*

children, and om* brethren, do fill up the measure
of their iniquity. Thy people, from generation
to generation, have resisted and turned from Thee.

We have abounded in false doctrine, heresy, and
schism. The priesthood have sinned, and all the
people. We harden our hearts, and are impe-
nitent ; we are proud and rebellious ; we are
high-minded, and refuse to be humbled. We

have rejected Thine ordinances, and have chosen

confusion ; and have not desired peace. We
have loved lies and vanity^ hypocrisy and deceit.
We covet and lust after the things vrhich perish,

and seek not Thy heavenly kingdom. We con-
fess the sin of all Thy people, the members of
Thy One Cathohc Church. We have received

Thy truth with our minds, but have closed oui*
hearts against Thee. We have sat in judgment
on those whom Thou hast set over us, and we
judge not om'selves. We have loved the ways
of disorder in which we have lived, and have
been slow to learn reverence and humility. We
have caused Thy truth to be rejected of the
heathen by om' foolishness and our sin ; and
have brought reproach upon Thy holy Name.
By our hardness of heart and unbelief we have
grieved and quenched Thy Holy Spii'it. We
are a burden unto Thee, hindering Thy purpose
of grace to others ; and we have forsaken our
own mercies.
We confess unto Thee, God, the sin of all
kings, princes, and governors ; the sin of all
ranks and estates of men : from the highest

to the lowest, we have all transgressed against
Thee. And as dwellers in this land, we es-

crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He
suffered and was bmied. And the third day He

Whose kingdom shall have no end.

A LMIGHTY and Most Merciful Father, we
-^ offer and present unto Thee this bread and
this cup, in token that we are Thine; that all
that we have is Thine; and of Thine only can

we give to Thee. We are. unworthy to offer unto
Thee any sacrifice ;
yet, we beseech Thee, accept
this our duty and service, who desire to honour

Thee, to worship and adore Thy Majesty, and to
acknowledge Thee to be oui* God, and ourselves
Thy servants, as we are most bound. And here
we do present to Thee ourselves, our souls and
j
bodies ; and dedicate ourselves unto Thy service,
renewing our vows, and engaging henceforth to

obey Thy commandments, to seek Thy will, to
do the things which please Thee, and to avoid

and utterly to eschew the things which Thou
abhorrest. O God, Thou knowest our weakness,
and om* frailty is not hid from Thee ; Have
mercy upon us, and fulfil our vows in us. Send
down Thy Holy Spirit upon us, and let the
flesh, and all its affections and lusts, be de-
stroyed in us, as by a consuming fire ; that we
may henceforth yield ourselves to Thee a living
sacrifice, holy and acceptable, which is our reason-
able service.
Wherefore, Lord, we beseech Thee, vouch-

of grace. Have respect unto the faith and

ratify, and make effectual, the words and acts,
which in Thy Name, in obedience to Thy com-
mandment, and according to Thy will. Thine
ordained Minister shall speak and do. Hear

Eternal God; who, together with Thy Only-be-

gotten Son and the Holy Ghost, art ONE GOD,

For Thou didst create heaven and earth, and
all things that are therein. Thou gavest unto us
life and being. By Thy providence are the fruits
of the earth preserved to us ; and by Thy
blessing we, and all things living, are nourished
and sustained. Thou openest Thy hand, and
fillest us with plenteousness. Thou hast pre-
served us all our days, and now again Thou
bringest us into Thy presence, satisfied with
Thy mercies, and replenished with Thy good-
ness.
ForThy bounties known to us,

all for all
unknown, we give Thee thanks. But chiefly,
that when, through our disobedience, we had

fallen from Thee, and forfeited Thy favour. Thou
didst not suffer us to depart from Thee for ever
Thou hast ransomed us from eternal death, and

given us the joyful hope of everlasting life,
through Jesus Christ ; who being God of God,

Very God of very God, Eternal God, dwelling
with Thee before all time, in glory and blessed-

send from Thy right hand Him, whom
Thou wilt send; At whose glorious appearing
Thy saints departed shall be raised, and we,
which are alive, shall be caught up to meet Him,
and so shall ever be with Him. Under the veil
of earthly things we have now communion with

Him ; but with unveiled face we shall then
behold Him, rejoicing in His glory, made like
unto Him in His glory ; and by Him, with all
Thy Church, holy and unspotted, shall be pre-

sented before the presence of Thy glory, with
exceeding joy. Hear us, heavenly Father, for

His sake, to whom, with Thee and the Holy
Ghost, One living and true God, be glory for ever

the Apostle saith, are the Communion of the

Body and of the Blood of Christ. And Almighty
God, who is full of tenderness towards the ne-

who were present in your desires, and in the

unity of the Holy Ghost, as sheep of the fold
of Jesus Christ, and faithful members of this
flock, may now be blessed in partaking of this
heavenly feast, and means of grace.
Remember, I beseech you, the holy act which
hath been wrought in the service of this day.
These creatiu'es of bread and wine, brought up
by His Congregation, have been accepted of
God; and through the operation of the Holy
Ghost, by the Word of God and by prayer, have
been made unto His Church the flesh and blood

of Jesus Christ. And, being thus sanctified,
they have been presented before God, in memo-

rial of that One Sacrifice upon the Cross once
ofiiered by Jesus Christ, full, perfect, and suffi-
cient j for the sake whereof the mercy of God

hath been besought on behalf of all God^s Chm'ch
and people, for you, and for all men, even the
remission of all om* sins, and everlasting life.
Of this Bread and this Cup your brethren

have partaken, feeding on that Flesh, and drink-
ing that Blood ; And now, in the Name of God,
and of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as one with
them in the Communion of the Holy Ghost, I
invite you also to draw near and partake thereof.
And as it becomes us at all times to confess

THE HOLY EUCHARIST.
our sins, and cast ourselves upon the mercy of
God, waiting for His forgiveness, so especially

at this time it becomes us to humble ourselves
before Him, in thus coming into His immediate
presence, and seeking this blessing at His hands.
Wherefore I beseech you to accompany me with
all your heart, making your humble confession
unto Almighty God, meekly kneeling upon your
knees.

Christ, who now abideth before Thee, our High

Priest in the heavens ; that, like as on the day
before He suffered He instituted the memorial of

Thy Majesty this and all our sacrifices offered

Thou sentest forth Thy wrath :
Which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of Thy nostrils :
The waters were gathered together ;
The floods stood upright as an heap :
And the depths were congealed in the heart of

the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue :
I will overtake, I will divide the spoil

They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto Thee, Lord :
Among the gods ?
Who is like unto Thee, Lord :
Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing

wonders ?
Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand ;
The earth swallowed them.

Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth :
The people which Thou hast redeemed :
Thou hast guided them in Thy strength :
Unto Thy holy habitation.
The people shall hear, and be afraid :
Sorrow shall take hold of the inhabitants of

The dukes of Edom shall be amazed:

Trembhng shall take hold upon the mighty men

All the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away :
Fear and dread shall fall upon them :
By the greatness of Thine arm :

Till Thy people pass over, Lord

Till the people pass over, which Thou hast pur-
chased.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them :
In the mountain of Thine inheritance.

In the place, Lord, which Thou hast made for
them to dwell in :
In the sanctuary, Lord, which Thy hands have

/~\ LORD Jesu Christ_, tliere was never sorrow
^^ like unto Thy sorrow, wherewith Thou
wast afflicted in the day of the fierce anger of
Almighty God. Thy soul was exceeding sor-
rowful, even unto death. Thy sweat was as
great drops of blood falling upon the ground.

But our sins were the cause of Thy sorrow, and
our guilt weighed Thee down and filled Thy
soul with fear and agony. From all eternity
Thou wast most blessed, abiding with the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost, in glory un-

speakable. For our sakes Thou didst become
man; and in all things Thou wast made like
unto us j that in Thy pure and unspotted heart

Thou mightest have sympathy with us in our
exceeding misery; that Thou mightest taste the
bitterness of sin, endure its burden in Thy most
holy spirit, and yield up Thyself to be over-
shadowed as with an horror of great darkness.
Grant us. Lord, we beseech Thee, to have such
abhorrence of all evil, that we also may have

sympathy mth Thee in Thy sorrow ; make us
watchful, that we may be kept through the hour
of temptation ; and give to us such willingness

r\ LORD, Eternal Word, who didst speak the

didst command, and all things stood fast ; in
whom all things consist and abide in being; of

Thine own will Thou wast given up unto the will
of others. The rude and brutal soldiers scourged

face ; over Thy limbs in derision they threw the
purple robe ; in mockery they placed the reed

place of death, bearing Thy cross ; until, fainting
through pain and anguish, they took it from

Thee, and laid it on Thy disciple to bear, not in
pity for Thy suffering, but that Thou mightest be

ready to endure fresh torment. They pierced
Thy hands and Thy feet, they nailed Thee to the
cross. Thou wast lifted up between heaven and
earth, as utterly unworthy, and abhorred and re-
jected of all. Yea, the transgressors with whom

Thou wast numbered, who were crucified with
Thee, they mocked and reviled Thee. All, but
Thy mother and Thy beloved disciple, and the

faithful women with them, looked upon Thee with

hatred and derision. None gave Thee love nor
pity, who wast full of love and pity for all.

O Lord, we behold Thy sufferings, and we
mourn our eyes, our eyes run down with tears
; ;
we weep in the bitterness of our souls for Thou ;
wast wounded for our transgressions. Thou wast

bruised for our iniquities. And above all we
mourn, that although we have been made par-
takers of Thy grace, our sins have pierced Thee
anew we have seemed to count Thy sacrifice a

;
vain thing; we have forgotten that we were

cleansed from our old sins. They who nailed
Thee to Thy cross, knew not that they crucified
the Lord of Glory, but we have known Thee, and
yet have crucified Thee afresh, and put Thee to
open shame. We have made void Thy mercy,

and have kept back from Thee Thy reward. Yet,
Lord Jesus, let not Thy mercy fail; and, as in
Thine hour of agony Thou didst pray for them
that put Thee to death, so for us also do Thou
intercede. Behold, we wait before Thy Cross, we
adore Thee, Thou that wast crucified. Draw
us unto Thee, conform us to Thine example, and
now and henceforth let us take up our cross, and
follow Thee in this world, looking for our reward
in the regeneration, in the kingdom of Thy glory.

loved of the Father. This was the hardest trial
of Thy love, that Thou shouldest lose, though

but for a moment, the abiding of His joy, which
had been Thy strength in every former trial.
This was the sufiering above all suffering, which

filled up the cup of sorrow, and set the seal of
perfectness on all Thou hadst endured. For,

when Thou hadst endured this. Thy faith did
straightway scatter the oppression, which passed
from Thy soul, as the darkness from the earth

rejecting of Apostles^
r\ LORD, Thou hast nourished and brought

^^ us up as Thy children; but we have re-
belled against Thee. The whole head is indeed

sick, and the whole heart is faint. When Thou
didst send down the Holy Ghost at the first, and
didst dwell in the midst of Thy Church in the
glory of the Divine Spirit, Thine apostles were

endowed with power and wisdom, that they might
order Thine household and skilfully guide Thy
flock ; and all that believed continued steadfastly
in their doctrine and fellowship, and great fear
was upon them all. But we, Lord, have cast

off Thy fear, we have despised Thy rule and
government, we have rejected Thee from being
king : we have forgotten that Thy kingdom was
from above, we have taken up our rest in the
earth, and have brought ourselves under cruel

bondage, into subjection to the rulers of this
world. Through this our sin, the sin of many
generations, we have failed to follow the ways
of Thy kingdom; Thy rule of tenderness and
love hath become unknown ; the power of this
world hath been substituted for it, and the rule
and authority of man hath been intruded into

Thy sanctuary. Lord, Thou knowest our op-
pression and our grief; the kings of the earth
exercise authority over Thy Church, according
to their will ; they cause her spiritual powers to
be employed as instruments for their own ad-
vantage. Thou seest that faith hath failed, and
therefore love hath grown cold. No man re-
ceiveth truth from those whom Thou ordainest,
but each chooseth his own doctrine for himself;
/2
and tlie unity of peace and charity,, tlie unity
of Thy saints in the Holy Ghost, hath been ex-

changed for endless divisions, and for mutual
hatred. The crown hath fallen from our heads ;
woe unto us, that we have sinned. The punish-

ment of our pride hath fallen upon us. Our
fathers have sinned, and we bear their iniquities.
Servants rule over us, and there is none that doth

deliver us out of their hands. Have mercy, have
mercy upon us, most merciful Father; take
pity on our affliction and our grief. Gather

again Thy dispersed unto Thyself; break off the
yoke of our captivity, and let the man of the
earth no more oppress. Restore unto us our

judges as at the first, and our counsellors as
at the beginning. Set our feet at liberty, that
we may run the way of Thy commandments.

r\ LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, when by the

^'^ outpourings of the Spirit of love and
power the children of Thine adoption were
gathered into Thy fold, and made Thy flock,
Thou didst give precious ministries. Thy perfect
ordinances, for defending Thy beloved ones from

every danger, and for supplying to them all
needful grace and help. In all things Thou

didst provide for their guidance and their pre-
servation. Thou didst give with Thine Apostles

the ministries of Prophets, Evangelists, and Pas-
tors. Thou didst ordain Thine Angels, Priests,
and Pastors, over all Thy

the congregations of
saints. How great is Thy wisdom
how large is !
Thy bounty what more couldest Thou have

!
done for Thy vineyard which Thou didst not do

in it ? But we have not rendered unto Thee the
fruits which were meet. We have brought forth
wild grapes, grapes of Sodom and clusters of
Gomorrha. And behold the enemy hath broken
into Thy sanctuary, he hath trampled under foot
the defences — he cometh into Thy fold at plea-
sure. Thy fold is broken up. Thy sheep are

scattered. Many are Thy children who seek for
Thy refreshing grace, and return empty; many
are they who wander without a shepherd, having
none to guide or to recover them back ; they
heap unto themselves teachers after their own
mind, and they lay it not to heart that those
who should have taught them are withdi-awn.
This our desolation, Lord, is our sin ; it is the

visitation of Thy hand; because we, and our
Fathers, our Priests, our Prophets, and our Pas-
tors, have transgressed Thy laws, changed Thine
ordinances, and broken Thine everlasting cove-
nant. Yet, Lord, have mercy upon us, for we

are athirst for the living waters. Satisfy us with
Thy mercies, and that soon, that we may rejoice
and be glad in Thee. Thy Spirit and

The Third Prayer or Meditation [On the
ceasing of the exeidse of the Gifts of
the Holy Ghost].
r\ LORD GOD of mercy and truth, great was

^^ the glory of Thy Church in the day of the
outpouring of the Holy Ghost. The multitude
of them which believed were of one heart and of
one soul. They were filled with joy and with
the Holy Ghost. Thy hand was stretched forth
to heal; the mighty signs and wonders of Thy

power, wrought in tlie name of Jesus, gave wit-

ness to Thy presence ; and the divers gifts of the
Holy Ghost were distributed unto every man
according to His will, that each, according to the
grace given unto him, might exercise the same
for the profit of all. But Thy people have
abused Thy gifts ; they have forgotten Thee
they have taken Thy fair jewels, and made to
themselves images of men. And when Thou

hadst withdi'awn Thyself in anger, they have
forgotten the powers of the world to come, and
have thought only of the wisdom and operations
of man. But Thou hast revived in us, Lord,
the memoiy of Thy former grace; Thou hast
given us to see from whence we have fallen, and
to know that we are poor and miserable, and
blind and naked. [We see not our signs, there is
no prophet left, nor any that can tell us how

long. Thy mighty power is no more put forth
in the midst of Thy people, they have forgotten
their confidence in Thee, and they lay not hold
of Thy strength, nor abide in the power of Thy
life.] Yet Thou abidest faithful. Thou that art
the hope of Thy people in all generations ; Thou

wilt not despise the prayer of the destitute.
Thou art faithful to Thy promise, that Thou art
with Thy Church even unto the end of the

world : Thou liast never withdrawn the gifts
which Thou didst bestow, the earnest of the pro- j
mised inheritance. We beseech Thee, therefore,

Lord, come among us, and with great might
succour us ; renew Thy covenant with Thy Church,
as in the days of her youth, and cause Thy power
and Thy glory to be seen in Thy sanctuary, as in
the days of old.

R. Amen.
Psalm Ixxiv.
Thr Fourth Iêsson [Luke xxi. 25-36.]-
The Fourth Prayer or Meditation [Ow the
Chu7'ch hecomtng entangled with the World^ .
r\ GOD, Thou didst make Thy Church to be

^^ a spiritual body, the image of the heavenly
things ; Thou didst impart unto Thine elect the
powers of the world to come, that, in the midst

of this world, they might not be of this world,
but might look for their redemption, and wait
for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ, when He
should be revealed from heaven. Thou didst so
illuminate them with Thy grace, that that day

should not overtake them as a thief. Thou didst
fill them with that hope, which was as an anchor
of the soul, sure and steadfast; and having that

hope^ they purified themselves as He is pure.

But Thy people have forsaken their hope^ they
have looked for an inheritance here ; they have

forgotten that Thy kingdom was not of this
world; they have sought to reign without their

Lord, and to possess before His coming the
wealth, and power, and lordship of the earth.
From hence have come wars and fightings, from

hence hath come the shedding of blood, which
in Thy holy Name hath been poured like water
on that earth, which Thy blood had sanctified.
And they who had been purged from their old
sins, have become unholy and unclean. And
now, Lord, Thou art near to come; the time
of visitation, the time of restitution of all things,
draweth near. Thou hast caused the day-star

to arise in our hearts, and awaking from our
sleep we are filled with shame, and confusion,
and fear ; for our eyes are opened to perceive
I
how low we have fallen, that we are not pre-
pared to meet the Lord, and to render to Him
the account He who may abide
demandeth.
the day of His coming, and who may stand when
He appeareth ? for He shall be as a refiner^s fire
and like fuller^s soap. Yet, Lord, we return to

Thee, who waitest to be gracious, who repentest
Thyself for Thy servants, when Thou seest that
their power is gone. We wait for Thine ap-

pearing ; we look out for the coming of Thy
kingdom ; we long for and desire the approach
of that great day. Purify us, Lord_, we be-

seech Thee, purify Thy people ;
purge away all
our dross, and take away all our tin. Cleanse

us from our iniquities. Restore to us the joy
of Thy salvation, and uphold us with Thy free
Spirit. Send forth, Lord, the divine and

quickening Spirit, and make all things new;
pour upon us the dew of Thy heavenly grace.
Sanctify us, that we may be holiness unto Thee.
Shed abroad Thy love in our hearts. Call upon
Thy Zion to arise from the dust, and bid the
bride to make herself ready.

The Exhortation.
rpHE hope of Christians in the beginning,
which encouraged and strengthened them
to bear up against the cruel persecutions which
desolated the Church, was, that the Lord Jesus
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
Christ would speedily return to this earth, and

give rewards unto His faithful servants. For
this they were willing to die, and for this they
lived; and this hope purified them, and made

them meet for the kingdom of Heaven. The hope
of Him who should bruise the serpent's head
consoled Eve, after she had seen the misery which
she had brought upon her posterity. The same
hope comforted the Patriarchs. But we, and all
our brethren, are fallen away from our hope : we

have fallen into the sin of standing still, instead
of going on unto perfection; the sin, which so
easily besets us, and against which we are specially
warned in Holy Scripture. We love not the

suffering creation, which is groaning, waiting for
deliverance : we have not thought of the departed

martyrs, by whose zeal and faithfulness the know-
ledge of God has been handed down to us ; and
who, having fallen asleep, wait for the resmTcction
of their bodies, that they may enter into the joy

and presence of their Lord. Our love to our
Saviour, who longs to hear our cry that He should

come again unto us, and deliver us from all tempta-
tion and trial, hath waxed cold. We have ceased
to feel for the oppressed poor, all over the earth,
who have none to help them, but the Lord. Oh !
we are indeed hard-hearted and selfish, and the

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
love of God dwelleth not in us ; since^ seeing our

brethren in so much need, we come not to their
aid, and seek not the Lord, in behalf of a world

lying in pain and misery, that He, who alone is
the Saviour of the body as well as of the soul,

would come and wipe away tears from off all
faces. We have indeed been anxious for our

own personal salvation ; but we have lost sight
of the Body of Christ, and forgotten that it
is only as one body, and not as individuals,

that we can be received into gloiy. AYe have
been altogether indifferent to God's glory, and
to God's end and pm-pose, to be accomplished
and brought about by His Church, which He
formed as His instrument to effect His ends.
The Jews have been reviled as unbelievers ; whilst
they have been more steadfast in the faith of the

promises made unto them, than we in those made
unto us.
Yet God hath not shut up His loving-kindnesses

in displeasure, nor forgotten His Covenant for ever.
He still waiteth to be gracious, and is ready to

hearken to the cry of His people, who turn unto
Him with weeping and in true penitence of heart.
Wherefore draw near, and confess your sins unto
Him, in earnest hope of His mercy through Jesus
Christ.
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
The Confession.
\ LMIGHTY and everliving God, We confess
^^^ that we are unclean and impure in Thy
sight; That the hope of the speedy coming of
Thy dear Son hath not purified us as He is pure.
For we have been altogether unmindful of that
hope, and indifferent to it. We have rent and
torn asunder the Church of God, which should be
j
one ; And we have not mom-ned over our schismatic |
ways. We have been careless about the desolation |
of Thy Church, the place where Thine honour i
dwelleth. We have not been mindful of our |
brethren, wno have gone before us. Whose blood |
has watered the Church, Through whose faith I
and zeal Thou hast been able to preserve unto us, !
to this day, the record of all that Thou hast done

for us. We have Thy Spirit
resisted the voice of
in Thy Church, By which Thou wouldst have given

her continual light ; And we have lightly esteemed
the ministries which Thou didst appoint of old,
for spiritual rule and direction of the whole body.
Behold, we return unto Thee our God, from

whose ways we have grievously departed. And
implore Thy pardon for all our folly. Though
our sins be as scarlet. Thou canst make us white
as snow. Our hope is in Thee alone. Forgive
us, we beseech Thee ; Forgive Thy people whom

in us clean and contrite hearts ; And vouchsafe to
us Thy heavenly grace^ that we turn not again
unto folly. Hear us^ most merciful God^ for
the sake of Jesus Christ.
}{^ Amen.
The Absolution.
A LMIGHTY GOD, our most merciful Father,
who despiseth not the sighing of the contrite
heart, nor the desire of such as be sorrowful ; who
hath given His Only-begotten Son to die for our
sins, and for His sake taketh not vengeance on
sin ; but hath respect unto the blood of the Lamb,
which taketh away the sin of the world; Pardon
and forgive the innumerable offences committed
against His Divine Majesty, and blot out as a
thick cloud the transgressions of His Church, and
remember no more her sins.
Draw nigh, therefore, unto Him in full assurance

of faith in this His mercy,and make known unto
Him all your desires that ye may receive strength
;
from Him to walk henceforth before Him in all
well-pleasing, to the glory of His most holy Name.

to look down with pity upon their low estate, suf-
fering long under Thy righteous wrath and indig-

nation. We have added unto their affliction ; we
have looked upon our brother in the day that he
became a stranger ; we have rejoiced over the
children of Judah in the day of their desolation ;
we have spoken proudly in the day of their

distress. But now we turn unto Thee in their
behalf: we beseech Thee, turn their heart unto

Thyself, and take away the veil which is thereon,
and remove the blindness of then' mind ; that they
may look upon Him whom they have pierced, and
mourn for their iniquities. Accomplish for them,
we beseech Thee, all the purposes of mercy and
blessing, which Thou hast yet in store for them ;
give unto them again the land of their inherit-
ance ; build speedily the walls of Jerusalem, and

make it to be the joy of the whole earth.

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.
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
And tlie Catholic Faitli is this : That we wor-

ship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity
Neither confounding the Persons : nor divid-
ing 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 incom-
prehensible : and the Holy Ghost incompre-
hensible.
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.
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
So tlie 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 beGod 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
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
in Trinity, and tlie Trinity in Unity, is to be

worsliipped.
He therefore that will be saved : must thus
think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting sal-
vation : that he also believe rightly the Incar-
nation of om' 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.
He is God, of the Substance of the Father,
begotten before the worlds : and He is 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 God-

head ; 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 Sub-
stance : but by unity of Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one
man : so God and Man is one Christ
ALL SAINTS' DAY.
Who suffered for our salvation : descended into

liell, 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.

Then signing him on the forehead with the sign

and of the Holy Ghost, I sign thee with the

The Exhortation.
pvEARLY beloved in the Lord,
^-^ We are instructed from God^s Word, and
our own experience doth testify, that all men
are conceived and born in sin, and do of their
own nature incline thereto ; and so are justly
exposed to God^s wrath and indignation. We

learn also, and do believe, that our Lord Jesus
Christ hath offered upon the cross, through His
own sufferings and death for us, a sufficient and
perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world
and that He hath instituted in His Church the

sacrament of Baptism, for the remission of sin,
and for spiritual Regeneration by the Holy

Ghost; that whoso believeth, and is baptized,
may, according to His promise, and through the

mercy of God, be saved.
For this cause we are now gathered together,
that this infant [or, person] may through this
holy Sacrament be washed from his sins, and

be made a member of Christ's holy Church unto
eternal salvation; [being assured in our hearts,
that it is not the will of our Father which is

HOLY BAPTISM.
in heaven^ that one of sucli little ones should

perish.]
And as it becomes us at all times to humble

ourselves before God^ so especially at this time,
when the present goodness and mercy of God, in

making this infant [or, person] a partaker in all
the benefits of the passion of His dear Son, doth
lead us to remember those sins for which He
hath sufi'ered, the just for the unjust and evil.
Wherefore let us confess unto Almighty God the
sinfulness of our nature, and our own unworthi-

ness, that, receiving from Him the assurance of
His mercy and forgiveness, we may with joy and
confidence present and dedicate this infant [or,
person] unto Him, and beseech Him that He
will deliver him out of the kingdom of darkness,
and translate him into the kingdom of His dear
Son.
Then shall follow r/its v onkbssion.
Let us pray.
\ LMIGHTY GOD, merciful Father, we hum-

-^^ bly confess before Thee, that we, and all
men, are shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin
and from the womb we go astray speaking lies.
We do inherit a deceitful and desperately wicked

HOLY BAPTISM.
heart, and, of our own natural propensity and
perverse wills, we do all follow our perverse and

untoward ways. We bewail, and are sorry for,
this our fault and manifest corruption, which is i
a grief and a displeasure to Thy holy Mind,

and which we acknowledge to be our guilt and
shame. Yet have mercy upon us, most merci-
ful Father, for Jesus Christ^ s sake; Vouchsafe
unto us remission of our sins through His
most precious blood, and the continual renewing
of Thy Holy Spirit; that we may henceforth
walk in newness of life, to the glory of Thy
holy Name.
R' Amen.
The Absolution.
A LMIGHTY GOD, the Father of our Lord

'^"^
Jesus Christ, for His sake have mercy upon
you ;
grant unto you full remission and forgive-
ness, and absolve you from all your sins. And
may the blessing of God Almighty, the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
R. Amen.
Then shall be read the Lesson, either from Mark, x.
13-16, John, iii. 1-8, or Rom. vi. 1-11.

P
HOLY BAPTISM.
Aftei^ this they shall proceed to the fotit, and the Priest
shall address the Sponsors as follows :
pvEARLY beloved,
-*-^^
Ye have brought this infant [or, person] into
the Church of God, and do seek for him deliverance

from the power of the devil, the remission of sin,
and the gift of new and spiritual life by the Holy
Ghost, through the Sacrament of Baptism, which
Christ hath ordained for bestowing these benefits.
These God, on His part, will most surely bestow,
for the sake of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ
wherefore, it is my duty in the presence of God,
and before this congregation, to demand of you,
that, in the name of this infant, who cannot

answer on his own behalf, you [or if an adult,
to demand of this person that he] do make that
confession of unfeigned faith, out of a pure con-
science, which Almighty God shall accept and
answer, by vouchsafing His holy Baptism.

I demand therefore.
Dost thou believe that man is of his own na-

ture corrupt and evil, and is guilty before God,
and obnoxious to His just judgments ? And,

Dost thou earnestly desire to be delivered from
this guilt ?
it Such is my faith, and such is my desire.

HOLY BAPTISM.
Art tliou persuaded of the mercy of God

through Jesus Christ, that He willeth not that
any one should perish, but hath sent His Son

to redeem the world; that Jesus Christ hath
died for our sins, the just for the unjust ; and
that He hath ordained this Sacrament of Bap-
tism, as an effectual means for the remission and
washing away of sins, through the blood of Jesus
Christ, and for regenerating and sanctifying by
the Holy Ghost those who are baptized ?
i?. All this I believe.
Dost thou renounce and abhor the devil, and all
his works, and all evil spirits ; the world, and all
its glory and vanities, and all sinful desires of
the flesh ; so that thou wilt not follow, nor be
led by them ?
R. I renounce and abhor them all.
Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth ?
And in Jesus Christ, His Only-begotten Son,
our Lord ? And that He was conceived by the

Holy Ghost ; born of the Virgin Mary ; that He
sufi'ered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead,
and buried ; that He went down into Hell, and

also did rise again the third day ; that He
HOLY BAPTISM.
ascended into heaven, and sittetli on the right

hand of God the Father Almighty; and from
thence shall come again to judge the quick and
the dead ?
And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost ; the

holy Catholic Church ; the Communion of Saints
the Remission of sins; the Resurrection of the

body, and the Life everlasting ?
R, All this I steadfastly believe.
Wilt thou be baptized in this faith ?
E, That is my desire.
Dost thou unfeignedly submit thyself wholly

unto the will of Christ, and wilt thou obediently
keep God^s holy will and commandments, and
walk in the same all the days of thy life ?
It I do submit myself, and will obey.
In testimony of these thy good resolutions, I
call upon thee to worship and adore the living
and true God.
Here the iSponsorti with the Candidate shall kneel^
and he, or if an infant the Sponsors in his name,

shall say.
I worship and adore the Father, the Son, and

the Holy Ghost, One living and true God, being
HOLY BAPTISM.
of One substance, power, and majesty ; to whom

be praise and glory. Amen.
Praise and glory be to the Father, and to the

Son, and to the Holy Ghost, One God
A' As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Let us pray.
ALMIGHTY and Everlasting God, who, of

Thy great mercy, didst save Noah and his
family in the ark from perishing by water, and
also didst safely lead the children of Israel Thy
people through the Red Sea, figuring thereby
Thy holy Baptism ; And by the baptism of Thy

well-beloved Son Jesus Christ, in the river Jordan,
didst sanctify water to the mystical washing away
of sin j We beseech Thee, for Thine infinite mer-
cies, that Thou wilt mercifully look upon this
child [or, person] ; Give unto him, that he may be

baptized and washed from all his sins ; that he may
be born again of water, and of the Holy Ghost
that, being delivered from Thy wrath, and sancti-
fied by Thy Holy Spirit, he may be received into
the ark of Christ's Church; and finally, being
steadfast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted

in charity, he may so pass tlie waves of this

troublesome world, that he may come to the land
of everlasting life, there to reign with Thee, world
without end ; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.
Here the Priest shali rise.
r\ RANT, merciful God, that the old Adam

^^ in this child [or, person] may be so buried,
that the new man may be raised up in him.
Grant that all carnal affections may die in hirrij
and that all things belonging to the Spirit may

live and grow in him.
Grant that he may have power and strength to
have victory, and to triumph, against the Devil,

the World, and the Flesh.
Wherefore, Lord God, we beseech Thee, that,
by Thy mighty power, Thou wilt at this time

detect and expel all power and wickedness of
Satan from the body, soul, and spirit of this
child [or, person] ; and wilt deliver him from

that wicked enemy, and for ever preserve him
from his invasions : That Thou wilt cleanse and

sanctify him at this time in his inward being :
That Thou wilt clothe him with the shining gar-
ment of salvation, the robe of innocency and

righteousness : And that, thus preparing him for
HOLY BAPTISM.
Thy sacred presence, Thou wilt take up Thy

abode in him for ever. Hear us for the sake of
Jesus Christ.
R. Amen.
The Priest shall turn towards the font.
A LMIGHTY and everliving God, whose most

•^ dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ, for the
forgiveness of our sins, did shed out of His most

precious side both water and blood; and gave
commandment to His disciples, that they should
teach all nations, and baptize them In the name

of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost ; Regard, we beseech Thee, the supphca-
tions of Thy congregation ; sanctify this water,
and by Thy mighty power and presence make it
effectual, to the mystical washing away of sin,
and to the sanctifying of the spirit of this child
[or^ person] ; and grant that he, being baptized

therein, may through means of the same receive
the fulness of Thy grace, and ever remain in
the number of Thy faithful and elect children ;

i?. Amen.
Then the Priest shall receive the Candidate {if an infant,

into his arms), and shall say,
Name this child \or, person]

HOLY BAPTISM.
And having received the Name^ shall baptize hi?n,
saying,
N. I baptize thee in tlie Name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

R, Amen.
He shall then take the child or person from the font,

and shall go with him up the steps icithin the choir
{folloiced by the Sponsors, who shall abide at the foot
of the steps), and then laying his hand on the child

or person's head shall say,
"\TTE receive this child [or, person] into the
congregation of Christ^s flock hlere lie
may sign him unth the sign of the cross i

.
and do
bless him in the Name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. And be thou

blessed and kept unto everlasting life.
R. Amen.
Then the Iciest shall return the baptized unto the

Sponsors, and shall go to the proper place in the
chotr.
Let us pray.
Our Father, which art in heaven, &c.
E. Amen.
X\7E yield Thee hearty thanks, most merciful

^^ Father, that it hath pleased Thee to re-
generate this infant with Thy Holy Spirit, and
to receive him for Thine own child by adoption.

and to incorporate him into Thy holy Church.

And humbly we beseech Thee to grant that he
being dead unto sin, and living unto righteous-
ness, and being buried with Christ in His death,

and risen with Him, may crucify the old man,
and utterly abolish the whole body of sin ; and
that at length, in body and in spirit, he may be
partaker in the glory of the Resurrection, and
with the residue of Thy holy Chm-ch may be an
inheritor of Thine everlasting kingdom, through
H. Amen.
The officiating Minister shall then charge the baptized,

and the Parents or Sponsors, as to their several duties.
And shall conclude by blessing them.
Then shall follow Psalm xxvii. or Psaljm xxxiv.

8-12, or Psalm cxxviii. roith the Gloria Patri, and
lastly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, &c.

R. Amen.
It loill be remembered that Parents or Sponsors shoidd

give notice on the Saturday preceding of their desire
to present the child for baptism, and that notice of
the day and hour fixed should be given at the Com-
munion on the Lord's- Day.
Also care should be taken that all persons, who are
called on to give responses, do thoroughly understand
that which they undertake to answer, and that they
