Forasmuch as we purpose to come to the Holy Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ, it be- cometh us diligently to examine ourselves, as St. Paul exhorteth us. For this Holy Sacrament hath been insti- tuted for the special comfort and strengthening of those who humbly confess their sins, and who hunger and thirst after righteousness. £But if we thus examine ourselves, we shall find nothing in us out only sin and death, from which we can in no w\se set ourselves free. Therefore our Lord Jesus Christ hath had mercy upon us, and hath taken upon Himself our nature, that so He might fulfil for us the whole will and law of God, and for us and for our deliverance suffer death and all that we by our sins have deserved. And to the end that we should the more confidently believe this, and be strengthened by our faith in a cheerful obedi- ence to His holv will, He hath instituted the Holy Sacra- ment of His Supper, in which He feedeth us with His Body, and giveth us to drink of His Blood. OR THE COMMUNION. ^ Therefore whoso eateth of this bread, and drinketh of this cup, firmly believing the words of Christ, dwelleth in Christ, and Christ in him, and hath eternal life. We should also do this in remembrance of Him, show- ing His death, that He was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification, and rendering unto Him most hearty thanks for the same, take up our cross and follow Him, and, according to His commandment, love one another even as He hath loved us. For we are all one bread and one body , even as we are all partakers of this one bread, and drink of this one cup. 1" Then the Minister, turning to the Altar , shall say : Let us pray. ATJR Father, who art in heaven ; Hallowed be 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 those who 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. 1 Then shall the Congregation sing or say : Amen. T Then shall the Minister say : OUR Lord Jesus Christ, in the night in (a) Here he shall which He was betrayed, took bread; (a) take the Plate and when He had given thanks He brake with the Bread it and gave it to His disciples, saying s in his hand.
