of thy dear Son. O merciful Father, we are unworthy of the crumbs which fall from thy table; yet dost thou feed us with the bread of life which cometh down from heaven.

WE

E do not presume to come to this table, O merciful Father, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for our past sins. But, O Lord God, thy mercy endureth for ever. Grant us, therefore, so to partake of these emblems of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, that by faith our souls may be purified from all evil, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

I

Then shall the Minister read the following words:

HAVE received of the Lord that which also I

delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this

bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.

Then shall the Minister, having first partaken himself, deliver the Bread and Wine to the Deacons or to his Fellow-Communicants. Before delivering the Bread he may make a short Address or Prayer of Thanks, and before delivering the Cup he may make a short Address or ask a Blessing. Then shall he deliver the Bread,

saying:

Take and eat this in remembrance of Christ.

Then shall he deliver the cup, saying:

Drink this in remembrance of Christ.

Then shall the Minister say the Lord's Prayer, the People repeating after him:

UR Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be

OUR

thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on 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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Then shall the Minister say one of the following Prayers, or any other he may think suitable.

LORD, our heavenly Father, we thy servants earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; humbly beseeching thee to grant that, by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and obedi

ence to thy will, we may obtain the pardon of our sins and everlasting life.

HERE

ERE we offer and present ourselves to thee, O Lord, our souls and bodies, as a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice. And although, through our manifold sins, we feel ourselves wholly unworthy, yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, according to thine abundant mercies in Christ Jesus our Lord: through whom all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.

LMIGHTY God, the fountain of all wisdom,

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

A

LMIGHTY God, who hast promised to hear the petitions of those who ask in thy Son's name; We beseech thee mercifully to incline thine ears to us who have now made our prayers and supplications unto thee; and grant that those things which we have faithfully asked according

to thy will may effectually be obtained to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth of thy glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then may be sung a Hymn; after which the Service may be closed with the Benediction.

THE peace of God, which passeth all under

standing, keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Or,

HE Lord bless us and keep us; the Lord make

THE

his face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us; the Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon us, and give us peace. Amen.

THE MINISTRATION

OF

BAPTISM OF INFANTS.

All those who are present standing up, the Minister shall say:

HEA

EAR the words of the Gospel written by Saint
Mark, in the tenth chapter, at the thirteenth

verse:

They brought young children to Christ, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But, when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Then the Minister shall say:

BELOVED, ye hear in this Gospel the words of

our Lord Jesus Christ, that he commanded

the children to be brought unto him; how he
