art the very Comforter in all woe and distresse The heauenly gift of God most high which no tongue can expresse The fountaine and the liuely spring of ioy celestiall The fire so bright the loue so cleare and Vnction spirituall Thou in thy gifts art manifold whereby Christs Church doth stand In faithfull hearts writing thy Law the finger of Gods hand According to thy promise made thou giuest speech of grace That through thy helpe the praise of God may sound in euery place O holy Ghost into our wits send downe thy heauenly light Kindle our hearts with feruent loue to serue God day and night Strength and stablish all our weaknesse so feeble and so fraile That neither flesh the world nor deuill against vs doe preuaile Put backe our enemy farre from vs and grant vs to obtaine Peace in our hearts with God and man without grudge or disdaine And grant O Lord that thou being our leader and our guide We may eschew the snares of sinne and from thee neuer slide To vs such plenty of thy grace good Lord grant we thee pray That thou mayest be our Comforter at the last dreadfull day Of all strife and dissension O Lord dissolue the bands And make the knots of peace and loue throughout all Christian lands Graunt vs O Lord through thee to know the Father most of might That of his deare beloued Sonne we may attaine the sight And that with perfect faith also we may acknowledge thee The Spirit of them both alway one God in persons three Laud and praise be to the Father and to the Sonne equall And to the holy Spirit also one God coeternall And pray wee that the onely Sonne vouchsafe his Spirit to send To all that doe professe his Name vnto the worlds end Amen And then the Archdeacon shall present vnto the Bishop all them that shall receiue the order of Priesthood that day the Archdeacon saying REuerend Father in God I present vnto you these persons present to be admitted to the order of Priesthood Cum interrogatione responsione vt in ordine Diaconatus And then the Bishop shall say to the people GOod people these bee they whom wee purpose God willing to receiue this day vnto the holy office of Priesthood For after due examination we finde not to the contrary but that they be lawfully called to their function and ministery and that they bee persons meete for the same but yet if there bee any of you which knoweth any impediment or notable crime of any of them for the which hee ought not to be receiued into this holy ministerie now in the Name of God declare the same And if any great crime or impediment be obiected Vt supra in Ordine Diaconatus vsque ad finem Letaniae cum hac Collecta ALmighty God giuer of al good things which by thy holy Spirit hast appointed diuers orders of Ministers in thy Church mercifully behold these thy seruants now called to the office of Priesthood and replenish them so with the trueth of thy doctrine and innocency of life that both by word and good example they may faithfully serue thee in this office to the glory of thy Name and profit of thy Congregation through the merits of our Sauiour Iesus Christ who liueth and reigneth with thee and the holy Ghost world without end Amen Then the Bishop shall minister vnto euery one of them the Oath concerning the Kings Supremacy as it is set forth in the order of Deacons And that done hee shall say vnto them which are appointed to receiue the said office as hereafter followeth YOu haue heard brethren as well in your priuate examination as in the exhortation and in the holy Lessons taken out of the Gospel and of the writings of the Apostles of what dignity and of how great importance this office is whereunto ye bee called And now wee exhort you in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ to haue in remembrance into how high a dignity and to how chargeable an office ye bee called that is to say the messengers the watchmen the Pastours and the Stewards of the Lord to teach to premonish to feede and prouide for the Lords family to seeke for Christs sheepe that be dispersed abroad and for his children which bee in the middest of this naughty world to bee saued through Christ for euer Haue alwayes therefore printed in your remembrance how great a treasure is committed to your charge for they be the sheepe of Christ which hee bought with his death and for whom he shed his blood The Church and Congregation whom you must serue is his spouse and his body And if it shall chance the same Church or any member therof to take any hurt or hinderance by reason of your negligence yee know the greatnesse of the fault and also of the horrible punishment which will ensue Wherefore consider with your selues the end of your ministery towards the children of God towards the spouse and body of Christ and see that you neuer cease your labour your care and diligence vntill you haue done all that lieth in you according to your bounden duty to bring all such as are or shall be committed to your charge vnto that agreement in faith and knowledge of God and to that ripenesse and perfectnes of age in Christ that there be no place left among you either of errour in Religion or for viciousnesse in life Then forasmuch as your office is both of so great excellencie and of so great difficultie ye see with how great care and studie ye ought to apply your selues as well that you may shew your selues kind to that Lord who hath placed you in so high a dignity as also to be ware that neither you your selues offend neither be occasion that other offend Howbeit ye cannot haue a mind and a wil therto of your selues for that power and abilitie is giuen of God alone Therfore ye see how ye ought and haue need earnestly to pray for his holy spirit And seeing that you cannot by any other meanes compasse the doing of so weighty a worke pertaining to the saluation of man but with doctrine and exhortation taken out of the holy Scriptures and with a life agreeable vnto the same Ye perceiue how studious yee ought to bee in reading and in learning the Scriptures and in framing the maners both of your selues and of them that specially pertaine vnto you according to the rule of the same Scriptures And for this selfe same cause ye see how ye ought to forsake and set aside as much as you may all worldly cares and studies Wee haue good hope that you haue well weighed and pondered these things with your selues long before this time and that you haue cleerely determined by Gods grace to giue your selues wholly to this vocation wherunto it hath pleased God to call you so that as much as lieth in you you apply your selues wholly to this one thing and draw all your cares and studies
