THURSDAY MORNING.

The Family being met together, let the
Master say the following Sentence of
Scripture, and then that which is written
after the said Sentence.

THE sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm, li. 17.

SEEING, beloved, that all they are accursed, as the Prophet David beareth witness, which do err and go astray from the commandments of God; Let us return unto our Lord God, with all contrition and meekness of heart, bewailing and lamenting our sinful life, acknowledging and confessing our offences, and seeking to bring forth fruits meet for repentance."

"Morning Prayer.

b Commination.

¶ General Confession by the Master and Family, all kneeling.

O MOST mighty God, and merciful Father, who hast compassion upon all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made; who wouldest not the death of a sinner, but that he should rather turn from his sin, and be saved; Mercifully forgive us our trespasses; Receive and comfort us, who are grieved and wearied with the burden of our sins. Thy property is always to have mercy; to thee only it appertaineth to forgive sins. Spare us therefore, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed; enter not into judgment with thy servants, who are vile earth, and miserable sinners; but so turn thine anger from us, who meekly acknowledge our vileness, and truly repent us of our faults; and so make haste to help us in this world, that we may ever live with thee in the world to come; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Amen.a Lord, have mercy upon us.
