PRAYERS FOR THE KING; To be used in all Churches, and Chapels immediately before the Prayer of S. Chrysostom, both in the Morning and Evening-Service. during the sickness of King Charles the 2d.  ¶ The Minister standing up, shall say, 
BRethren; Although it hath pleased Almighty God to be very gracious to these Three Kingdoms, in giving us so good Popes of His majesty's Recovery from His late dangerous sickness; Nevertheless it is thought fit, that, so long as his weakness shall continue upon him, Prayers be made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him. Wherefore I beseech you, to join with me in offering up Supplications at the Throne of the heavenly Grace for the restoring of him to his perfect Health.  ¶ Then, all kneeling down, the Minister shall say, 
REmember not, Lord, our iniquities, nor the iniquities of our forefathers. Spare us, good Lord, space thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be nor angry with us for ever.  Answer. 
Spare us, good Lord.  ¶ Then the Minister shall say,

HEar us, Almighty and most merciful God and Saviour; Extend thy accustomed goodness to thy servant who is grieved with sickness. Sanctify, we beseech thee, this thy fatherly correction to him; that the sense of his weakness may add strength to his faith, and seriousness to his repentance: That if it shall be thy good pleasure to restore him to his former health, he may lead the residue of his life in thy fear, and to thy glory: or else give him grace so to take thy visitation, that after this painful life ended, he may dwell with thee in life everlasting, through jesus Christ our Lord.  
Amen.  
ALmighty everliving God, maker of mankind, who dost correct those whom thou dost love, and chastise every one whom thou dost receive; We beseech thee to have mercy upon thy servant visited with thine hand, and to grant that he may take his sickness patiently, and recover his bodily health (if it be thy gracious will) and whensoever his soul shall departed from the body, it may be without spot presented unto thee, through jesus Christ our Lord.  
Amen.  
O Saviour of the world, who by thy Cross and precious blood hast redeemed us, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.  
THe Almighty Lord, who is a most strong tower to all them that put their trust in him, to whom all things in heaven, in earth, and under the earth do bow and obey, be now, and ever more his defence, and make him know and feel, that there is none other name under heaven given to man, in whom, and through whom he may receive health and salvation, but only the Name of our Lord jesus Christ.  
Amen.  
UNto God's gracious mercy and protection we commit him. The Lord bless him, and keep him. The Lord make his face to shine upon him, and be gracious unto him. The Lord lift up his countenance upon him, and give him peace, both now and evermore.  
Amen.
