CERTIFICA'T'E.

We hereby certify that this Edition of The Book
of Common Prayer of the Reformed Episcopal
Church, adajtted to the use of congregations in tite
Doiitiftion of Canada, has been compared witl» the
standard Hook — adopted by the General Council of
the said Church, held in the city of New York, in
the month of May, 1874; and that it agrees with
the sanui except in the additional Versicles in the
Morning and Evening Prayer, and in the Prayers
and Petitions for those in Civil Authority, in which
such changes have been made as accord with the
usage of this JJominion.

These changes have been approved by the Com-

THE PREFACE.

** IT is a most invaluable part of that
blessed ^liberty wherewith Christ hath
made ui/ree ' — that, in his worship, diflfer-
tiat /or/us and usages may without offence
be allowed, provided the sttbstance of the
faith be kept entire; and that, in every
Church, what cannot be clearly deter-
mined to belong to doctrine must be re-
ferred to discipline ; and, therefore, by com-
mon consent and authority may be altered,
abridged, enlarged, amended, or other-
wise disposed of, as may seem most con-
venient for the edification of the people,
' according to thp various exigencies of
times and occasions.* "*

The Church of England ^ and the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church in the United
States of Atnerica^ in the Prefaces to their
respective Books of Common Prayer, have

declared " the necessity and expediency of
occasional albrations and amendments"
in Forms of Public Worship; indeed,
upon the principles they have laid down,
" it cannot but be supposed that further
alterations would in time be found expe-
dient." By the Church of England ^ "the
Liturgy, in sundry particulars, hath been
reviewed, altered and amended about
eight different times, from its first publica-
tion, accordi'ag to act of parliament in
1549 ; and its last review was in 1661, as
it now stands, according to the Act of
Umformity^* By the Protestant Episco-
pal Chtirch in the ( ^nited States of America ^
the Book of Common Prayer has b \;en twice
revised; in 1785, when the "Proposed
Book " was adopted in Convention,* and
sent to England as a basis for securing the
Episcopate ;f and in 1789, when the pre-
sent Book of that Church was adopted and
i«et forth for use.

commission for a further review of the
Liturgy and Canons, etc., was issued out to
a number of bishops and other divines;
' than whom (it hath been truly acknowl-
edged) the Church of England was never,
at any one time, blessed with either wiser
or better, since it was a Church.' "

The chief matters proposed for a review
at that time, will be found in the Preface
to the "Prayer Book of 1785." "Mat-
ters were well considered, freely and
calmly debated ; and all was digested into
one entire correction of everything that
seemed liable to any just objection. But
this great and good work miscarried at
tliat time ;" and the Protestant Episcopal
Church having, in 1789, retreated from the
position taken by the Convention of 1785,
the Prayer Books of the two Churches
remain substantially unrevised.

When, however, in the course of Di-
vine Providence, a way was opened for a
revision of the Liturgy and Offices, that
should more fully harmonize them with

the clear teachings of the word of God,

vii

THE PREFACE.

as enunciated by the Protestant Reform-
ers, The Reformed Episcopal Church
" couid not but, with gratitude to God,
embrace the happy occasion which was
offered to them, (uninfluenced and unre-
strained by any worldly authority whatso-
ever,)" to establish such alterations and
amendments therein as they deemed ne-
cessary and expedient.

It seems unnecessary to enumerate all
the different alterations and amendments,
among which will be found most of those
sanctioned by " the great divines of 1689."
They will readily appear, and the reason
o{ them also, upon a comparison of this
Book with that of the Church of England ;
■\)v'ith the "Prayer Book of 1785," upon
which this revision is chiefly based; and
with the present Book of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States of
America^ ratified in 1789.

The principles on which this revision
has been conducted, are set forth in the

farmed Episcopal Church^'' adopted De-

l>o()k, as now set forth for use, wili ' e
received by every ** member of our Chuich
and every sincere Christian, with a meek,
candid, and charitable frame of mind,
Without prejudice or prepossessions; seri-
ously considering what Christianity is, and

DECT.A^'iTION OF PRINCIPLES OF THE
KKtORAIED EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

Adopted December 2d, i8jj.

The Reformed Episcopal Church, holdin;.^ " the
faith once delivered unto the saints," declares its
belief in the -Holy Scriptures of the Old and New
'lestaments as the Word of God, and the sole Rule of
Faith and Practice ; in the Creed " commonly called
the Apostle's Creed ;" in the Divine institution of
the Sacraments of Baptism and the Loril's Supper ;
and in the doctrines of grace substantially as tli 'y
are set forth in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion.

This Church recognizes and adheres to Epi-^eo-
pacy, not as of Divine right, but as a very ancient
and desirable form of Chiu'ch polity.

in.

Ihis Church, retaining a Liturgy which shall not
be imi)erative or repressive of freedom in pr.iy-.r,
accents the Hook of Common Prayer, as it was r..*-
vised, proposed, and recommended for use by t'le
(rcneral Convention of the Protestant E])i^ciipal
Church, A. D. 178s. reserving full liberty to ailer,
abridge, enlarge, and amend the same, as may < em
most conducive to llieeilificationofthe people, "pro-
vided that the substance of the faith be kept en'ire."

IV.

This Church condenuis and rejects the following
erroneous and strange doctrines as jontrai y to
Ood's Word :

First, That the Church of (Christ exists only in
one order or form of ecclesiastical polity :

Second, That Cln'istian Ministers are " priests "
in another sense th.ui that in which all lielievers
are " a royal priesthood :"

rhird, That the Lord's Table is an altar on
which the oblation of the Hndy and Uhiod (>fChri».'.
is offered anew to the Father :

Fourth , Tliat the Presence of Christ in the laird's
Supper is a presence in the c'enients of (tread and
Wine :

I'ifth, That Regeneration is Inseparably con-
nected with Uapiism.

EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE.

[Extract from th*^ Minutes of thp Third General
Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church, held
.'it Chicago, May iStri, 1875 1 : —

WiiFurcAs, This Church has, in its Declaration
of I'rinciplcs, pmclainiLiJ its belief in tUe doctrinH.s
of urace substantially as they were set forth in the
Tliirty-nino Articles ; thi^refore,

grci.i truths known ;;s the " L)t)Clrincs of (jracc."

nite power, wisdom and goodness ; the
maker and preserver of all things, both
visible and invisible. And in unity of
this Godhead, there be three persons, of
one substance, power and eternity; the
Father, the Son aad the Holy Ghost.

Art. II. Of the Word, or Son of God,
which was made very man.

THE Son, who is the Word of the
Father, be};()lten from everlasting of
the P'ather, the very and eternal God, of
one sul)stance with the Father, took man's
nature in the womb of the blessed vir-
gin, of her substance : so that two whole
and perfect natures, that is to say, the
(iodhead and manhood, were joined to-
gether in one person, never to be divided,
whereof is one Christ, vciy God and very
man ; who truly suiVeied, was cruciticd,
dead and buried, to satisfy Divine justice,
and to reconcile us to his Father, and to
hi' a sacrifice, not only for original sin,
but also for actual sins of men.

Art. III. Of the Resurrection of Christ,
and Jlis Second Coming,

(CHRIST did truly rise from death, and
J took again his btuly, with (Icsh, bones,

tion of man's nature, wherewith he
asceiulcd into heaven, and there sitteth,
our High Priest and Advocate, at the
right hand of the Father, whence he will
return to judge the world in righteous-
ness. This Second Coming is the blessed
hope of the Church. The heavens have
received him, till the times of the restitu-
tion of all things. To those wiio looi<
for him he shall ai)i>ear a second time with-
out sin unto salvation. Then shall he
chan;;e the body of our humiliation that
il may be fashioned like unto his glorious
Ijody. He will take to himself his great
power, and shall reign til) he have put all
enemies under his feet.

Art. IV. Of the Holy Ghost.

THE Holy Ghost, proceedifig from the
Father and the Son, is of one sub-
stance, majesty, and glory, with the
Father and the Son, very and eternal Cod.
It is the work of the Holy Ghost to re-
prove and convince the world of sin, and
i)( righteousness, and of judgment; to
take of the things of Christ and show
them to men; to regenerate — making
men willing, leading them to faith in
Christ, and forming Christ in them the
hope of glory ; to strengthen them with
might in their inner man, that Christ may

xiii

ARTICLES OF RELIGION. ^

dwell in their hearts by faith ; and to se-
cure in them that walking in the ways of
God which is called the Fruit of the
Spirit. The True Church is thus called
out of the world, and is builded together
for an habitation of God, through the
Spirit.

Art. V. Of the Stifficiency of the Holy
Scriptures for Salvation.

ALL Scripture is given l)y inspiration of
God. Holy men of God spake as they
were moved by the Holy Ghost : Holy Scrip-
ture is therefore the Word of God ; not
only does it contain the Oracles of God, but
it is itself the very Oracles of Qoi\. And
hence it containeth all things necessary to
salvation: so that whatsoever is not read
therein, nor may be proved thereby, is
not to be recjuired of any man, that it
should l)e lielievcd as an article of faith,
or be thought requisite or necessary to
salvation. In the name of the Holy Scrip-
ture we do understand the canonical books
of the Old and New Testament, viz : —

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

New Testament everlasting life is offered
to Mankind by Christ, who is the only
Mediator between God and Man, being
both God and Man. Wherefore they are
not to be heard, which feign that the old
Fathers did look only for transitory
promises ; and although the Law given
from God by Moses, as touching Cere-
monies and Rites, does not bind Christian
men, nor the Civil precepts thereof ought
of necessity to be received in any com-
monwealth; yet notwithstanding, as a rule
of right living, no Christian man whatso-
ever is free from the obedience of the
Commandments which are called Moral.

Art. VII. Of Oni!;inal or Birth-sin.

ORIGINAL sin standeth not in the
following of Adam, as the Pelagians
do vainly talk ; but it is the fault and cor-
ruption of the nature of every man, that
naturally is engendered of the offspring
of Adam, whereby man is wholly gone
from original righteousness, and is of his
own nature inclined to evil, so that the
flesh lustetli always contrary to the Spirit ;
and therefore in every person born into
this world, it deserveth God's condemna-
tion. Men are, as the Apostle speaks,
•'l)y nature the children of wrath." And
tills infection of nature doth remain, yea,

in them that are reijenerated. And al-
though there is no condemnation for them
that are in Christ Jesus, yet the Apostle
doth confess, that concupiscence or lust
in such hath of itself the nature of sin.

Art. VIII. Of Man's Condition by Na-
ture.
HE condition of man after the fall of
Adam, is such, that he cannot turn an 1
prepare himself, by his own natural
strength and good works, to faith, and
calling upon God. WhL.efore we have
no power to do good works pleasant and
acceptable to God, without the grace
of God by Christ first inclining us, that we
may have a good will, and working with
us, when we have that good will.

Art. IX. Of Works before Justification.

WORKS commonly called good before
the grace of Christ and the insjiira-
tion of his Spirit, have not the nature of
obedience to Gt)d, forasmuch as they spring
not of Faith in Jesus Christ, neither do
ihey make men meet to deserve, or to re-
ceive grace.

Art. X. Of Kei^eneration^ or the New
Birth.

RKCiKNERATION is the creative act of
the Holy Ghost, whereby he imparts to
the soul a new spiritual life.

xvii

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

And "whosoever bclieveth in Christ is
born again, for, saith the Scripture, " ye
are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus."

Art. XI. Of Faith.

THE faith which brings justification Is
simply the reliance or dependence on
Christ which accepts him as the sacrifice
for our sins, and as our righteousness.

We may thus rely on Christ, either
tremblingly or confidingly ; but in either
case it is saving faith. If, though tremb-
lingly, we rely on him in his obedience
for us unto death, instantly we come into
union with him, and are justified. If,
however, we confidingly rely on him, then
have we the comfort of our justification.
Simply by faith in Christ are we juslilied
and saved.

Art. XII. Of the Justification of Man.

WE are pardoned and accounted rii^ht-
eous ])efore (iod, only for the Merit
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by
Faith ; and not for our own Works or
Deseivings. He who knew no sin was
made sin for us, that we niight be made
the righteousness of God in him. He

bare our sins in his own body. It pleased
our heavenly Father, of his infinite mercy,
without any our desert or desemng, to
provide for us the most precious sacrifice
of Christ, whereby our ransom might be
fully paid, the law fulfilled, and his justice
fully satisfied. So that Christ is himself
the righteousness of all them that truly
do believe in him. He for them paid
their ransom, by his death. He for them
fulfilled the law, in his life. So that now
in him, and by him, every true Christian
man may be called a fulfiller of the law.
Wherefore, that we are justified by Faith
only, is a most wholesome doctrine, and
very full of comfort.

Art. XIII. Of Repentance.

THE Repentance required by Scripture,
is a change of mind toward God, and
is the effect of the conviction of sin,
wrought by the Holy Ghost.

The unconverted man may have a sense
of r'»»Tiorse, or of shame and self-reproach,
and yet he may have neither a change of
minil toward God, nor any true sorrow ;
but when he accepts Christ as his Sa-
viour, therein he manifests a change of
mind, and is in [wsscssion of re^ientance
unto life. The sinner comes \.j Christ

xix

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

through no labored process of repenting
and sorrowing ; but he comes to Christ
and repentance both at once, by means o;
simply believing. And ever afterwards
his repentance is deep and genuine in
proportion as his faith is simple and
childlike.

Art. XIV. Of the Sonship of Believers,

BELIEVERS in Christ are born of God,
through the regenerating power of
his Spirit, and are partakers of the Di-
vine nature ; for if " that which is born
of the flesh is flesh," so "that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit."

And all who are thus born of God are
sons of God, and joint heirs with Christ;
and therefore, without distinction of name,
brethren with Christ and with one another.

Art. XV. Of Good Works.

GOOD Works, which are the Fruits of
Faith, and follow after Justification,
are pleasing and acceptable to God in
Christ, and do spring out, necessarily, of
a true and lively Faith ; insomuch that
by them a lively faith may be as evidently
known, as a tree discerned by the fruit.
They who truly believe will seek to do
the will of God, and they who do not

Art. XVI. Of Works of Supererogation.

VOLUNTARY Works, besides, over and
above God's Commandments, which
they call Works of Supererogation, can-
not be taught without arrogancy and
impiety. For by them men do declare,
that they do not only render unto God
as much as they are bound to do, but
that they do more for his sake than of
bounden duty is required : Whereas
Christ saith plainly. When ye have done
all that are commanded to you, say, We
are unprofitable servants.

Art. XVII. Salvation only in Christ.

HOLY Scripture doth set out unto us
the name of Jesus Christ only, where-
by men must be saved. His was a finished
work and completely sufficient. Without
any merit or deserving on our part he has
secured to believers in him pardon, accept-
ance, sonship, sanctification, redemption
and eternal glory. Those who believe in
him are in him complete. They are even
nnv.' justified and have a present salvation;
tiu>iinh they may not at all times have the
sense of its possession.

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

A RT. X V 1 1 1 . Of Election . Predestiti ation
and Free Will.

TV - . »i^E the Scriptures distinctly set forth
IT the election, predestination and crJl-
ing of the people of (iod unto eternnl
life, as Christ saith : " All that the Father
giveth me shall come to me;" they no less
positively affirm man's free agency and
responsibility, and that salvation is freely
ottered to all through Christ.

This Church, accordingly, simply affirms
these doctrines as the Word of God cets
them forth, and submits them to the indi-
vidual iudgment of its members, as taught
by the Holy Spirit; strictly charging them
that God commandeth all men eveiywhtre
to repent, and that we can be saved only
l->y faith in Jesus Christ.

Art. XIX. Of Sin offer Con7'crsion.

THE grant of repentance is not to be de-
nied to such as fall into sin after con-
\ ersion : that is to say, after, by the quick-
ening into life by the Holy Ghost, they
ha\e turnefl to God by faith in Christ,
and have been brought into that change
of mind which is repentance unto life.
For after we have received the Holy
Ghost we may, through unbelief, care-
lessness, and worldliness, fall into sin,

only

and by the jjjrace of God we in.n arise
again, and amend our lives ; but every
such fall is a grievous dishonor to our
Lord, and a sore injury to ourselves.

Art. XX. Of Christ alone, witJwut Sin.

CHRIvST, in the truth of our nature, was
made like unto us in all things, sin only
excepted, from which he was clearly void,
both in his fle.-.h, and in his spirit. He
came to be the Lamb without spot, who,
by sacrifice of himself, made once forever,
should take away the sin of the world;
and sin (as St. John saith) was not in him.
liut all we the rest, although born aga-n
in Christ, yet offend in many things; and
if we say we have no sin, we deceive our-
selves, and the truth is not in us.

Art. XXL Of the. Church.

THL souls dispersed in ail the world,
wh(j adhere to Christ by faith, who are
partakers of the Holy Ghost, and worship
the Father in spirit and in truth, are the
body of Christ, the house of God, the
flock of the Good Shepherd- — the holy,
universal Christian Church.

A visible Church of Christ is a con-
gregation of believers in which the pure
Word of God is preached, and Baptism

and the Lord's Supper are duly ministered
according to Christ's ordinance, in a'.l
those things that of necessity are requisite
to th-e same. And those things are to he
considered requisite wliich the Lord him-
self did, he himself commanded, and his
apostles confirmed.

As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexan-
dria, Antioch and Rome, have erred : so.
also others have erred and may err, not only
in their living and manner of Ceremo-
nies, hut also in matters of Faith.

Art. XXTL Of the Authority of a Church,

A CHURCH hath power to decree Cere
monies, and to establish forms of wor
ship, and laws for the government and di^
cipline of its members, and to declare it^
v>\\\\ faith ; yet it is not lawful for any
("hurch to ordain or decide anything tlui(
is contrarv to (iod's Word written, neilhcr
may k so expound one place of Scripture,
that it be repugnant to another. And
as the (.'hurch ought not to decree any
thing against the same, so besides tlu'
same ought it not to enforce anything lo

Art. XXIII. Of the Authority of General
Councils.

GENERAL Councils (forasmuch as they
be an assembly of men, whereof all
be not governed with the Spirit and Word
of God), may err, and sometimes have
erred, not only in worldly matters, but
also in things jiertaining to God. Where-
fore things ordained by them as neces-
sary to ■ .Ivation are not binding, as such,
on a ^liristian man's conscience, unless it
may bii ])rovcd that they be taken out of
holy Scripture. No law or authiMity can
override ndividual responsibility, anfl
therefore Ibe right of private judgment :
I'or the individual Christian, as Christ
(listinclly .iffums, is to be juflged by the
Word. The only Rule of Faith is God's
Word written.

Art. XXIV. Of Afittistennsj^ in the Con
^i^rt'i^ation.

THOSE wlio tid<e upon thetnselves the
otit'icc of public preaching, or minister-
ing the ordin.\nces in the congregation,

sent to execute the same. And those we
oupht to judj^e huvftUly called and sent,
which be mo\ed to this work l)y the Holy
Ghost, and are duly accredited by the
Lord's People.

That doctrine of "Apostolic Succes-
sion," by which it is taught that the min-
istry of the Christian Church must be
derived thi'ough a series of uninterrupted
ordinations, whether by tactual succes-
sion or otherwise, and that without the
same there can be no valid ministry, n(»
Christian Church, and no due ministra-
tion of Baptism and the Loid's Suj-ypei-,
is wholly rejected as unscriplural, and
])roductive of great mischief.

Tliis ChiuTh values its historic ministry,
but recoi^iii/es and honors as e(|ually valiil
the ministry of other Churches, even as
God the Holy Cihost h:n accompanitd
their work with demonstration and power.

be kept, most excellent in signification,
viz: Baptism and the Lord's Supi)L-r.

Those five s<j- called SacramenLs, that
is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Or-
ders, Matrimony, and Extreme Unction,
are not to be counted for Sacraments of
the Gospel, bein.^ such as have grv)\vn
partly of the corrupt following of the
apostles, partly are states of life allowed
by the Scri[)tures; but yet have not like
nature of sacraments with Bapti>m and
the Lord's Supper, for that they h ive not
any visil)le sign or ceremony ordained of
Ood.

And in such only as worthily receive
rja|)lism and the Lord's Supper are ih'.'y
of spiritual benelit, an<l yet not that of the
Wv»rk wrought fe\ opere operato), as some
men speak. Which word, as it is strange
and unknown to holy Scripture, so it gen-
dereth no g<Mlly, but a very superstitious
sense. In sui'li as receive ihem rightly,
faith is confimiw'd and grace increased by
virtue o( prayer to Ciod. But they ihit
receive them unworthily, purchase to
ttKMn-.elvcs judgment, as Si. I'aul saith;
while ii is e([ually true ihit none, how-
ever conscious of un worthiness, are de-
barred from receivjjig them, if they are
trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ alone
for salvation.

xxvii

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

Art. XXVI. Of Baptism.

BAPTISM represents he death of be-
lievers with Chiist, and their risinj^
with Him to newness of life. It is a sij^n
of profession, wlieieb/ they publicly
declare their faith in llii). It is intended
as a si^n of regeneration or new birth.
They that are baptized arc grafted into
the visible Church : the pron^ises of the
forgiveness of sin and of doption to be the
sons of God by the H( y Ghost, are visi-
bly set forth. The I i[)tisni of young
children is retained ii this Church, a-,
agreeable to ancient usage and not Con-
trary to Holy Writ.

Art. XXVII. Of the Lord's Supper.

THE Supper of the Lord is a memorial
of our redemiition ly Christ's death,
for thereby we do show forth the laird's
fieath till he come. It is also a symbol
of the soul's feeding ui on Christ. And
it is a sign of the coi iinunion that we
should have with one :'!U)lher.

Transubstantiation (t, the change of
th'" substance of bread iid wine into the
vei • body and blood of < ihrisl) in the Sup-
|KM- of the Lord, cam- it be proved by
Holy Writ, is repugnani to the plain words

ConsubstantiaLicii (or the doctrine that
Christ is veiled under the unchani^ed
bread and wine, \nd that his very body
and blood are pre. out therein and separate
the one from the other) is utterly without
warrant of Scriptiue, is contradictory of
the fact that Christ, being raised, dielh
no more, and is pr(,>ductive equally with
transubstantiation, of idolatrous erroi^s and
practices.

We feed on Christ only through his
word, and only by faith and prayer; and
we feed on him, whether at our private
devotions, or in our meditations, or on
any ocMsion of public worship, or in the
memorial symbolism of the Suiii)er.

The elements of the Lord's Supper
were not by Christ's ordinance designed
to be reserved, carried about, lifted up, or
worshiped.

Art. XXVIII. 0/ both Kinds.

fpilE Cup of the Lord is not to be denied
L to any of his people, for both the
bread and the wine, by Christ's ordinance
and commandment, ought to be miuis-
icred to all Christian men alike.

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

A.RT. XXIX. Of Unworthy Persons Min-
istering in the Congregation,

ALTHOUGH in the visible Church the
evil be ever mint^led with the good,
and sometimes the evil have chief au-
thority in the ministration of the word
and ordinances : yet, forasmuch as they
do not the same in their own name, but
ill Christ's, the believer is not deprived
of the benefits of God's ordinances; be-
cause, though they be ministered by evil
men, yet are they Christ's institution, and
set forth in his promise.

^'^vertheless, it appertainetli to the dis-
cipline of the Church, that in([uiry be made
of evil ministers, and that they be accused
by those that have knowledge of their
oflences: and fuially, being found guilty,
by just judgment, be deposed.

Ain\ XXX. Of the one Oblation of Christ
finished upon the Cross.

THE Offering of Christ once made is
that perfect redemption, jMopitiation,
and satisfaction, for all the sins of the
whole world, both original and actual;
and there is none other satisfaction for
sin, but that alone. And as there is only
this one sacrifice in the Christian Church,
once made, never to be repeated, so there is

hut the one Prie^t, even Jesus Christ, the
Apostle and Hi<^h Priest of our protession.
Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, in the
which it is commonly said that the Priest
offers Christ for the (juick and the dead,
for the remission of pain or guilt, or any
representations of the Lord's Supper as a
sacrifice, are blasphemous fables and dan-
gerous deceits.

A RT . XXXI. Of Certa in Erroneous Doc-
trines and Practices.

THE Romish doctrines concerning pur-
gatory, penance, and satisfaction, have
no support from the w^ord of (iod, anil
are, besides, contradictory of the com-
])leteness and sufficiency of the redemp-
tion in Jesus Christ, of justification by
faith, and of the sanctifying efficacy of
God the Holy Ghost. Praying for the
dead is man's tradition, vainly invented,
and is in violation of the express warn-
ings of Almighty God to the careless and
unconverted. The adoration of relics and
images, and the invocation of saints, he-
sides that they are grounded \\\>o\\ no
warranty of Scripture, are idolatrous prac-
tices, dishonoring to God, and compro-
mising the mediatorship of Christ. It is
also repugnant to the word of God, to
have public j)rayer in the Church, or to

xxxi

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

minister the ordinances, in a tongue not
understood by the people.

Art; XXXII. Of Confession and Abso-
lution.

PRIVATE confession of sins to a priest,
commonly known as Auricular Con-
fession, has no foundation in the word of
God, and is a human invention. It makes
the professed penitent a slav^e to mere
human authority, entangles him in endless
scruples and peq:)lexities, and opens the
way to many immoralities.

If one sin against his fellow-man, the
Scripture requires him to make confession
to the offended party; and so, if one sin
and bring scandal upon the Christian
Society of which he is a member. And
Christians may often, with manifest profit,
confess to one another their sins against
God, with a view solely to instruction,
correction, guidance, and encouragement
in righteousness. But in any and every
case confession is still to be made to God ;
for all sins are committed against him, as
well such as offend our fellow-man, as
those that offend him alone.

Priestly absolution is a blasphemous
usurpation of the sole prerogative of God.
None can forgive sins as against God but
God alone.

xxxii

Art.

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

The blood of Jesus Christ only can
cleanse us from our sins, and always we
obtain forj,'iveness directly from God,
whenever by faith in that blood we ap-
jjroach him with our confessions and
prayere.

Art. XXXIII. Of the Marriage of
Ministers.

CHRISTIAN Ministers are not com-
manded by God's Law, either to vow
the estate of single life, or to abstain
from marriage; therefore it is lawful for
them, as for all other Christian men, to
marry at their own discretion.

Art. XXXIV. Of the Pmver of the Civil
Authority,

THE power of the civil majristrate ex-
tendeth to all men, as well Ministers as
people, in all things temporal ; but hath
no authority in things purely spiritual.
And we hold it to be the duty of all men
who are professors of the Gospel, to pay
respectful obedience to the civil authority,
regularly and legitimately constituted.

Art. XXX\ . Of Christian Men's Goods.

THE riches and goods of Christian men
are not common, but their own, to be
xxxiii

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

controlled and used according to their
Christian judgment. Every man ouglit,
of such things as he jxissesseth, liberally
to give alms to the poor, according to
his ability; and as a steward of God, he
should use his means and influence in
promoting the cause of truth and righte-
ousness, to the glory of God.

I hereby certify that the above is a tnie Copy of
the Articles of Religion of the Reformed Episci)pal
Church, adopted in General Council, at Chicago,

MORNING PRAYER.

sins and wickedness, and that we should
not dissemble nor cloak them before the
face of Almighty God, our heavenly
Father, but confess them with an humble,
lowly, penitent, and obedient heart ; to
the end that we may obtain forgiveness of
the same, by his infinite goodness and
mercy. And although we ought, at all
limes, humbly to acknowledge our sins
before God; yet ought we chiefly so to
do, when we assemble and meet together,
to render thanks for the great benefits
that we have received at his hands, to set
forth his most worthy praise, to hear his
most holy word, and to ask those things
which are requisite and necessary, as well
for the body as the soul. Wherefore, 1
pray and beseech you, as many as are here
present, to accompany me, with a pure
heart and humble voice, unto the throne
of the heavenly grace, saying : —

own hearts. We have oflfended against
thy holy laws. We have left undone
those things which we ought to have dune;

6 *

MORNING PRAYER.

And we have done those things which we
ought not to have done : And there is no
health in us. But thou, O Lord, have
mercy upon us, miserable offenders.
Spare thou those, O God, who confess
their faults. Restore thou those who are
penitent; According to thy promises
declared unto mankind, in Christ Jesus our
Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father,
for his sake ; That we may hereafter live
a godly, righteous, and sober life ; To the
gloiy of thy holy Name. Amen.

^ The Minister, still kneeling, shall say the follow-
ing Prayer.

turn unto thee ; have mercy upm us ;

for us in the house of hi. servant David;

As he spake by the mouth of his holy
Prophets, which have been since the world
began ;

That we should be saved from our ene-
mies, and from the hand of all that hate us.

^ Then shall be said the Apostles' Creed, by ll»c
Ministe- and the people, standing : And any
