¶ Instead of the Proper Collect for the day, or Anglican (continued). after it, the following shall be used:

Almighty, everlasting God, Maker of mankind, Who dost correct those whom Thou dost love, and chastise everyone whom Thou receivest; we beseech Thee to have mercy upon this Thy servant; grant that he may take his sickness patiently, and recover his bodily health, if it be Thy gracious will, and whensoever his soul shall depart from the body, may it be without spot presented unto Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶Instead of the Benediction for the time the Minister shall use the following:

Brethren, humbly receive ye the Benediction.
The Lord be with you alway.

Ans. And with thy spirit.

Min. Almighty God, Who doth visit His most faithful servants with bodily infirmities, deliver them and us from all suffering of body and soul.

Ans. Amen.

Min. And He Who bore in Himself our weakness vouchsafe unto us and unto them everlasting mercy. Ans. Amen.

Min. That through His sustaining love and grace, our bodily weakness may not eventuate in disease, nor disease drive us to despair.

Ans. Amen.

Through the mercy, etc.

After the Minister has received the Communion himself, he shall administer it to those appointed to communicate with the sick, and last of all to the sick person.

Mozarabic.

¶ Before the final Benediction, the following Prayer (continued). is to be used:

Anglican.

O Everlasting and Almighty God, incline Thine ear to our supplications, and grant the healing medicine of Thy heavenly grace to all Thy faithful servants suffering bodily affliction. Amen.

Through thy mercy, etc.

If the Sick person be very weak, and necessity so require, it shall suffice to use for this office the Confession, Absolution, Prayer of Consecration, Form of Delivery of the Sacrament, Lord's Prayer, and Blessing.

¶ But if a man, either by reason of extremity of sickness, or for want of warning in due time to the Minister, or for lack of company to receive with him, or by any other just impediment, do not receive the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, the Minister shall instruct him, that if he do truly repent him of his sins, and steadfastly believe that Jesus Christ hath suffered death upon the Cross for him, and shed his Blood for his redemption, earnestly remembering the benefits he hath thereby, and giving him hearty thanks therefor, he doth eat and drink the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ profitably to his Soul's health, although he do not receive the Sacrament with his mouth.

THE ORDER FOR THE BURIAL OF

ADULTS.

The following Office is prepared for the Burial
of those who during life and at the time of death
have witnessed a Christian profession.

Therefore it is not to be used at the burial of adults
who die unbaptized, nor of such as voluntarily
commit suicide, nor of those who have given by
the manner of their life and death unequivocal
proof of their unbelief in Christ. In such cases,
if the Minister by reason of circumstances be
called to take part in the burial, any portion or
modification of this Order, not contrary to the
truth of the facts, may be used.

¶ At the gate of the cemetery, the Minister is to begin, saying:

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of Mozarabic. the Holy Ghost.

did

Ans. Amen.

Min. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceive me.

Ans. Against Thee, Thee only, O God, have I sinned, and done evil in Thy sight.

Min. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.

Ans. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

Min. Remembering our iniquities and lamenting them with hearty repentance, we humbly beseech Thee, O God, through the propitiatory death of Jesus, to hide Thy face from our sins, and to blot out all our

Mozarabic transgressions which we have committed against (continued). Thee. Create in our hearts that which Thou lovest, and cast out all that Thou hatest, and should our faults stir up Thine anger, do Thou in the fulness of Thy compassion visit us in long-suffering.

Ans. Amen.

Min. Through Thy mercy, O our God, Who art blessed, and dost live, and govern all things, world without end.

Ans. Amen.

And going before the corpse from the gate of the cemetery unto the grave, he shall say the following sentences:—

We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the Name of the Lord.

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though, after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.

And if there be time, Psalm xxxix. or Psalm xc. may be said or sung.

When they come to the grave, the following Texts may be said or sung;

Be not ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

[blocks in formation]

Enter not into judgment with Thy servants, O Lord, Mozarabic. for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified, save by the righteousness of Christ, who suffered for sins, the just for the unjust. We therefore pray Thee to

deliver from judgment all those who come unto Thee in true Christian faith, and to succour with Thy grace those who in this life take refuge under the ineffable Name of the most Holy Trinity, that they may not come into condemnation.

Ans. Amen.

Min. Through Thy mercy, O our God, Who art blessed, and dost live, and govern all things, world without end.

Ans. Amen.

Then shall the Minister read a portion or such portions of the following Lesson as he may deem opportune.

The Lesson is found in 1 Cor. xv., commencing at the 20th verse to the end of the chapter.

[Given in full in the Spanish Original.]

While the corpse is being laid into the earth the Adapted Minister shall say:

Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.

In the midst of life we are in death. Of whom may we seek for succour, but of Thee, O Lord? Thou God of goodness and mercy have compassion upon us; deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
