HEN the wicked man turn- ~§~^EARLYbeloved brethren, the eth away from his wicked ness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. I acknowledge my transgres- sions, and my sin is ever before me. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. The sacrifices of God are a bro ken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not de- spise. Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of when we assemble and meet to- great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him : neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us O Lord, correct me, but with! as many as are here present, to ac- judgment : not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. Repent ye ; for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more wor- thy to be called thy son. Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord: for in thy sight shall no man living be justi- fied. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us : bu:, if we confess our 6ins, he is faithful and just to Scripture moveth us in sun- dry places to acknowledge and con- fess our manifold sins and wicked- ness ; and that we should not dis- semble nor cloke them before the face of Almighty God our hea- venly 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 times humbly to acknow- ledge our sins before God ; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, gether, 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 I pray and beseech you, company me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me; ^ A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation after the Minister, all kneeling. ALmighty and most merciful Father ; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought forgive us our sins, and to cleanse not to have done; and there is no us from all unrighteousness, A ? health Morning health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable of- fenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Re- store thou them that are penitent ; according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merci- ful Father, for his sake ; That we may hereafter live a godly, righte- ous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen. \ The Absclut ion, or Remission of sins, to be pronounced by the Priest alone, standing ; the people still kneeling. ALmighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness, and live; and hath given power, and commandment, to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being pe- nitent, the Absolution and Remis- sion of their sins : He pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent, and unfeigned! y believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true re- pentance, and his holy Spirit, that those things may please him, which we do at this present ; and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure, and holy ; so that at the last we may come to his "eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. J The people shall answer here, and at the end of all other prayers, Amen. f Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer with an audible voice; the people also kneel- ing, and repeating it with him, both here, and wheresoever else it is tcsed in Divine Service. OUR Father, which art in Hea- ven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be Prayer. done in Earth, As it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass a- gainst 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. Am~n. Pr. O Lord, open thou our lips. Answer* And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. Priest. O God, make speed to save us. Answer. O Lord, make haste to help us. \ Here all standing up, the Priest shall say, Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost ; Answer. As it was in the be- ginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen. Priest. Praise ye the Lord. Answer. The Lord's Name be praised. Venite exultemus. Psalm 95. OCome, let us sing unto the Lord : let Us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and shew our- selves glao in him with Fsalms. For the Lord is a great God : and a great King above all gods. In his hand are all the corners of the earth : and the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it : and his hands prepared the dry land* O come, let us worship, and fall down : and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is the Lord our God : and we are the people of his pas- ture, and the sheep of his hand. To Morning Prayer. To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts : as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; When your fathers tempted me : proved me, and saw my works. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said : It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways. Unto whom I sware in my wrath : that they should not enter into my rest. Glory be to the Father, &c. As it was in the beginning, &c. 5 Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they are appointed. And at the end of every Psalm through out the Tear, and likewise at the end of Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc dimittis, shall be repeated, Glory be to the Father, &c. As it was in the beginning, &c. Te Deum Laudamus. ~E praise thee, O God w The Father : of an infinite Ma- jesty ; Thine honourable, true : and only Son ; Also the Holy Ghost : the Com- forter. Thou art the King of Glory : O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Sen : of the Father. When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man : thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death : thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the Glory of tne Father. We believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge. We therefore pray thee, help thy .servants : whom thou hast re- deemed with thy precious blood. Make them to be numbered Iwith thy Saints : in glory ever- acknowledge thee to be the j lasting. O Lord, save thy people md Seraphin, Lord. All the earth doth worship thee : the Father everlasting.

The Creed of St. Athanasius. WHosoever will be saved : be- fore all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick Faith. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled : without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholick Faith is this : that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity ; Neither confounding the Per- sons : nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son : and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Soa ; and such is the Holy Ghost. A 6 The The Creed of S The Father vmcreate, the Son increate : and the Holy Ghost un- create. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible: and, the Holy Ghost incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son! eternal : and the Holy Ghost etcr-j nal. And yet they are not three eter- nals : but one eternal. As also there are not three in- comprehensibles, nor three uncre- ated : but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Al- mighty, the Son Almighty : and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Al- mighties : but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is <2od : and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods": but one God. So-likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord : and the Koly Ghcst Lord. And yet not three Lords: but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by ihe Christian verity : to acknow- ledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord ; So are we forbidden by the Ca- tholick Religion : to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none : neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone : not made, nor created, but be- gotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son : neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but pro- ceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers j one Son, not three Sons : t» At nana i i one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is a- fore, or after other : none is great- er, or les3 than another ; But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together : and co-equal. So that in all things, as is afore- said : the Unity inTiinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be wor- shipped. He therefore that will be saved : must thus think of die Trinity. Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation : that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess : that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man ; God, of the substance of the Fa- ther, begotten before the worlds : and Man, of the substance of his Mother, bom in the world ; Perfect God, and perfect Man : of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting ; Equal to the Father, as touch- ing his Godhead : and inferior to the Father, as touching his Man- hood. Who although he be God and Man : yet he is not two, but one Christ ; One ; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh : but by taking of the Manhood into God ; One altogether; not by confu- sion of substance : but by Unity of Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man : so God and Man is one Christ ; Who suffered for our salvation : descended into Hell, rose again the third day from the dead, Be The Litany He ascended into Heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of" the Father, God Almighty : from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies : and shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting : and they that have done evil into ever- lasting fire. This is the Catholick Faith : which except a man believe faith- fully, he cannot be saved. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost ; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

I Will magnify thee, O God, my King : and I will praise thy Name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I give thanks unto thee : and praise thy Name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and mar- vellous, worthy to be praised : there is no end of his greatness. 4 One generation shall praise thy works unto another ; and de- clare thy power. 5 As for me, I will be talking of thy worship : thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works ; 6 So that men shall speak of the might of thy marvellous acts ; and I will also tell of thy great- ness. 7 The memorial of thine abun- dant kindness shall be shewed : and men shall sing of thy righte- ousness. 8 The Lord is gracious, and merciful : long-suffering, and of great goodness. , 9 The Lord is loving unto every man : and his mercy is over all his works. 10 All thy works praise thee, O Lord ; and thy saints give thanks unto thee. 1 1 They shew the glory of thy kingdom : and talk of thy power ; 12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness o^ thy kingdom ; might be known unto men. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlast* ing kingdom : and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. 14 The Lord upholdeth all such as fall : and lifteth up all those that are down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord : and thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand ; and fillest all things living with plenteousness. 17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways ; and holy in all his works. 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him : yea, all such as call upon him faithfully. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : he also wi,ll hear their cry, and will help them. 20 The Lord preserveth ' all them that love him : but scatter- eth abroad all the ungodly. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord ; and let all flesh give thinks unto his holy Name for ever and ever. Psalm Thirtieth Day Psalm 146. PRAISE the Lord, O my soul ; while I live will I praise the Lord : yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God. 2 O put not vour trust in princes, nor in any child of man ; for there is no help in them. \ 3 For when the breath of man goeth forth, he shall turn again to his earth : and then all his thoughts perish. 4 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord his God; 5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is ; who keepeth his promise for ever ; 6 Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong ; who feedeth the hungry. 7 The Lord looseth men out of prison : the Lord giveth sight to die blind. 8 The Lord helpeth them that are fallen : the Lord careth for the righteous. 9 The Lord careth for the strangers ; he defendeth the fa- therless and widow : as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down. 10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore : pud throughout afl generations. Evening Prayer* Psalm 147. O Praise the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises Hnto our God : yea, a joy fin and pleasant thing it is to be thankful. 2 The Lord doth briid up Je- rusalem : and gather together the out-casts of Isruel. 3 He healeth those that are* of the Month, broken in heart : and giveth me- dicine to heal their sickness. 4 He telleth the number of the stars : and calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power : yea, and his wis- dom is infinite. 6 The Lord setteth up the meek : and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground. 7 O sing unto the Lord witk thanksgiving : sing praises upon the harp unto our God ; 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth : and maketh the grasyg to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men ; 9 Who giveth fodder unto the cattle : and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him. 10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse : neither de- lighted he in any man's legs. 1 1 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him ; and put their trust in his mercy. 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusa- lem : praise thy God, O Sion. 13 For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates ; and hath blessed thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy bor- ders : and filleth thee with the flour of wheat. 15 He sendeth forth his com- mandment upon earth ; and his word' runneth very swiftly. 16 He giveth snow like v/ool ; and scattereth the hoar-frost tike ashes. 1 7 He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who is able to abide his frost ? 18 He sendeth out his word and melteth them : he Mowed wit Thirtieth Day of the Month.
