The second Heb. 11.32 and 12. to v. 7. ¶ Instead of the first Collect at Evening Prayer shall these two which next follow be used O Blessed Lord God who by thy wisdom not only guidest and orderest all things most suitably to thine own justice but also performest thy pleasure in such a manner that we cannot but acknowledge thee to be righteous in all thy ways and holy in all thy works We thy sinful people do here fall down before thee confessing that thy judgments were right in permitting cruel men sons of Belial as this day to imbrue their hands in the bloud of thine Anointed we having drawn down the same upon our selves by the great and long provocations of our sins against thee For which we do therefore here humble our selves before thee imploring thy mercy for the pardon of them all and that thou wouldst deliver this Nation from bloud-guiltiness that of this day especially and turn from us and our posterity all those judgments which we by our sins have deserved Grant this for the all-sufficient merits of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ Amen BLessed God just and powerful who didst permit thy dear Servant our late dread Sovereign King Charles the First to be as upon this day given up to the violent outrages of wicked men to be despitefully used and at last murdered by them Though we cannot reflect upon so foul an act but with horrour and astonishment yet do we most gratefully commemorate the glories of thy grace which then shined forth in thine Anointed whom thou wert pleas'd even at the hour of death to endue with an eminent measure of exemplary patience meekness and charity before the face of his cruel enemies And albeit thou didst suffer them to proceed to such an height of violence as to kill him and to take possession of his Throne yet didst thou in great mercy preserve his Son whose right it was and at length by a wonderful providence bring him back and set him thereon to restore thy true Religion and to settle peace amongst us For which we glorifie thy Name through Jesus Christ our blessed Saviour Amen ¶ Immediately after the Collect Lighten our darkness c. shall these three next following be used O Lord we beseech thee c. O most mighty God and merciful Father c. Turn thou us O good Lord and so c. As before at Morning Prayer ¶ Immediately before the Prayer of St. Chrysostom shall this Collect which next follweth be used ALmighty and everlasting God whose righteousness is like the strong mountains and thy judgments like the great deep and who by that barbarous murder as upon this day committed upon the Sacred Person of thine Anointed hast taught us that neither the greatest of Kings nor the best of men are more secure from violence then from natural death Teach us also hereby so to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom And grant that neither the splendour of any thing that is great nor the conceit of any thing that is good in us may any ways withdraw our eyes from looking upon our selves as sinful dust and ashes but that according to the example of this thy blessed Martyr we may press forward toward the prize of the high calling that is before us in faith and patience
instead of the Apostles Creed his Confession of our Christian Faith commonly called the Creed of Saint Athanasius by the Minister and People standing Quicunque vult WHosoever will be saved before 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 ve worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity Neither confounding the persons 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 Son and such is the Holy Ghost The Father uncreate the Son uncreate and the Holy Ghost uncreate The Father incomprehensible the Son incomprehensible and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible The Father eternal the Son eternal and the Holy Ghost eternal And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal As also there are not three incomprehensibles nor three uncreated but one uncreated and one incomprehensible So likewise the Father is Almighty the Son Almighty and the Holy Ghost Almighty And yet they are not three Almighties but one Almighty So the Father is God the Son is God 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 Holy Ghost Lord And yet not three Lords but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord So are we forbidden by the Catholick 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 begotten The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son neither made nor created nor begotten but proceeding So there is one Father not three Fathers one Son not three Sons one Holy Ghost not three Holy Ghosts And in this Trinity none is afore or after other none is greater or less then another But the whole three persons are co-eternal together and co-equal So that in all things as is aforesaid the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the 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 Father begotten before the Worlds and Man of the substance of his Mother born in the World Perfect God and perfect Man of a reasonable soul and humane flesh subsisting Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead and inferiour to the Father as touching his Manhood 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 confusion 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 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 everlasting fire This is the Catholick Faith which except a man believe faithfully 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 ¶ Here followeth the Litany or General Supplication to be sung or said after Morning Prayer upon Sundays Wednesdays and Fridays and at other times when it shall be commanded by the Ordinary O God the Father of heaven have mercy upon us miserable sinners O God the Father of heaven have mercy upon us miserable sinners O God the Son Redeemer of the world have mercy upon us miserable sinners O God the Son Redeemer of the world have mercy upon us miserable sinners O God the Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son have mercy upon us miserable sinners O God the Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son have mercy upon us miserable sinners O holy blessed and glorious Trinity three persons and one God have mercy upon us miserable sinners O holy blessed and glorious Trinity three persons and one God have mercy upon us miserable sinners Remember not Lord our offences nor the offences of our fore-fathers neither take thou vengeance of our sins spare us good Lord spare thy people whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious bloud and be not angry with us for ever Spare us good Lord.

the Lord ye that mind to come to the holy Communion of the body and bloud of our Saviour Christ must consider how Saint Paul exhorteth all persons diligently to try and examine themselves before they presume to eat of that Bread and drink of that Cup. For as the benefit is great if with a true penitent heart and lively faith we receive that holy Sacrament for then we spiritually eat the flesh of Christ and drink his bloud then we dwell in Christ and Christ in us we are one with Christ and Christ with us So is the danger great if we receive the same unworthily For then we are guilty of the body and bloud of Christ our Saviour we eat and drink our own damnation not considering the Lords body we kindle Gods wrath against us we provoke him to plague us with divers diseases and sundry kinds of death Judge therefore your selves brethren that ye be not judged of the Lord repent you truly for your sins past have a lively and stedfast faith in Christ our Saviour amend your lives and be in perfect charity with all men so shall ye be meet partakers of those holy Mysteries And above all things ye must give most humble and hearty thanks to God the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost for the redemption of the world by the death and passion of our Saviour Christ both God and man who did humble himself even to the death upon the Cross for us miserable sinners who lay in darkness and the shadow of death that he might make us the children of God and exalt us to everlasting life And to the end that we should alway remember the exceeding great love of our Master and only Saviour Jesus Christ thus dying for us and the innumerable benefits which by his precious bloud-shedding he hath obtained to us he hath instituted and ordained holy Mysteries as pledges of his love and for a continual remembrance of his death to our great and endless comfort To him therefore with the Father and the Holy Ghost let us give as we are most bounden continual thanks submitting our selves wholly to his holy will and pleasure and studying to serve him in true holiness and righteousness all the days of our life Amen ¶ Then shall the Priest say to them that come to receive the holy Communion YE that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins and are in love and charity with your neighbours and intend to lead a new life following the commandments of God and walking from henceforth in his holy ways Draw near with faith and take this holy Sacrament to your comfort and make your humble confession to Almighty God meekly kneeling upon your knees ¶ Then shall this general Confession be made in the name of all those that are minded to receive the holy Communion by one of the Ministers both he and all the People kneeling humbly upon their knees and saying ALmighty God Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Maker of all things Judge of all men We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness Which we from time to time most grievously have committed By thought word and deed Against thy divine Majesty Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us We do earnestly repent And are heartily sorry for these our misdoings The remembrance of them is grievous unto us The burthen of them is intolerable Have mercy upon us Have mercy upon us most merciful Father For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christs sake Forgive us all that is past And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life To the honour and glory of thy Name Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen ¶ Then shall the Priest or the Bishop being present stand up and turning himself to the People pronounce this Absolution ALmighty God our heavenly Father who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him Have mercy upon you pardon and deliver you from all your sins confirm and strengthen you in all goodness and bring you to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen ¶ Then shall the Priest say Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all that truly turn to him COme unto me all that travel and are heavy laden and I will refresh you S. Matth. II. 28. So God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son to the end that all that belive in him should not perish but have everlasting life S. John 3.16 Hear also what Saint Paul saith This is a true saying and worthy of all men to be received that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners I Tim. 1.15 Hear also what Saint John saith If any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins I S. John 2.1 ¶ After which the Priest shall proceed saying Lift up your hearts Answer We lift them up unto the Lord. Priest Let us give thanks unto our Lord God Answer It is meet and right so to do ¶ Then shall the Priest turn to the Lords Table and say IT is very meet right and our bounden duty that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee O Lord * These words Holy Father must be omitted on Trinity Sunday Holy Father Almighty everlasting God ¶ Here shall follow the proper Preface according to the time if there be any specially appointed or else immediately shall follow THerefore with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnifie thy glorious Name evermore praising thee and saying Holy holy holy Lord God of hosts Heaven and earth are full of thy glory Glory be to thee O Lord most High Amen ¶ Proper Prefaces ¶ Upon Christmas-day and seven days after BEcause thou didst give Jesus Christ thine only Son to be born as at this time for us who by the operation of the holy Ghost was made very man of the substance of the Virgin Mary his mother and that without spot of sin to make us clean from all sin Therefore with Angels c. ¶ Upon Easter-day and seven days after BUt chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord for he is the very Paschal Lamb which was offered for us and hath taken away the sin of the world who by his death hath destroyed death and by his rising to life again hath restored to us everlasting life Therefore c. ¶ Upon Ascension-day and seven days after THrough thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord who after his most glorious resurrection manifestly appeared to all his Apostles and in their sight ascended up into heaven to prepare a place for us that where he is thither we might also ascend and reign with him in glory Therefore with Angels c. ¶ Upon Whitsunday and six
days after THrough Jesus Christ our Lord according to whose most true promise the holy Ghost came down as at this time from heaven with a sudden great sound as it had been a mighty wind in the likeness of fiery tongues lighting upon the Apostles to teach them and to lead them to all truth giving them both the gift of divers languages and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly to preach the Gospel unto all nations whereby we have been brought out of darkness and errour into the clear light and true knowledge of thee and of thy Son Jesus Christ Therefore with Angels c. ¶ Upon the Feast of Trinity only WHo art one God one Lord not one only person but three persons in one substance For that which we believe of the glory of the Father the same we believe of the Son and of the Holy Ghost without any difference or inequality Therefore c. ¶ After each of which Prefaces shall immediately be sung or said THerefore with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnifie thy glorious Name evermore praising thee and saying Holy holy holy Lord God of hosts Heaven and earth are full of thy glory Glory be to thee O Lord most High Amen ¶ Then shall the Priest kneeling down at the Lords Table say in the name of all them that shall receive the Communion this Prayer following WE do not presume to come to this thy Table O merciful Lord trusting in our own righteousness but in thy manifold and great mercies We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy Grant us therefore gracious Lord so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his bloud that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body and our souls washed through his most precious bloud and that we may evermore dwell in him and he in us Amen ¶ When the Priest standing before the Table hath so ordered the Bread and Wine that he may with the more readiness and decency break the Bread before the People and take the Cup into his hands he shall say the Prayer of Consecration as followeth ALmighty God our heavenly Father who of thy tender mercy didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption who made there by his one oblation of himself once offered a full perfect and sufficient sacrifice oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world and did institute and in his holy Gospel command us to continue a perpetual memory of that his precious death until his coming again Hear us O merciful Father we most humbly beseech thee and grant that we receiving these thy creatures of bread and wine according to thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christs holy institution in remembrance of his death and passion may be partakers of his most blessed body and bloud who in the same night that he was betrayed (a) Here the Priest is to take the Paten into his hands took bread and when he had given thanks (b) And here to break the bread he brake it and gave it to his disciples saying Take eat (c) And here to lay his hand upon all the bread this is my body which is given for you do this in remembrance of me Likewise after Supper (d) Here he is to take the cup into his hand he took the cup and when he had given thanks he gave it to them saying Drink ye all of this for this (e) And here to lay his hand upon every vessel be it Chalice or Flagon in which there is any wine to be consecrated is my bloud of the New Testament which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins Do this as oft as ye shall drink it in remembrance of me Amen ¶ Then shall the Minister first receive the Communion in both kinds himself and then proceed to deliver the same to the Bishops Priests and Deacons in like manner if any be present and after that to the People also in order into their Hands all meekly kneeling And when he delivereth the bread to any one he shall say THe body of our Lord Jesus Christ which was given for thee preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee and feed on him in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving ¶ And the Minister that delivereth the Cup to any one shall say THe bloud of our Lord Jesus Christ which was shed for thee preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life Drink this in remembrance that Christs bloud was shed for thee and be thankful ¶ If the Consecrated Bread or Wine be all spent before all have communicated the Priest is to consecrate more according to the Form before prescribed Beginning at Our Saviour Christ in the same night c. for the blessing of the Bread and at Likewise after Supper c. for the blessing of the Cup. ¶ When all have communicated the Minister shall return to the Lords Table and reverently place upon it what remaineth of the consecrated Elements covering the same with a fair Linen Cloth ¶ Then shall the Priest say the Lords Prayer the People repeating after him every Petition OUr Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy kingdom come Thy will be 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 against us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom The Power and the Glory For ever and ever Amen ¶ After shall be said as followeth O Lord and heavenly Father we thy humble servants entirely desire thy Fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving most humbly beseeching thee to grant that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ and through faith in his bloud we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins and all other benefits of his passion And here we offer and present unto thee O Lord our selves our souls and bodies to be a reasonable holy and lively sacrifice unto thee humbly beseeching thee that all we who are partakers of this holy Communion may be fulfilled with thy grace and heavenly benediction And although we be unworthy through our manifold sins to offer unto thee any sacrifice yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service not weighing our merits but pardoning our offences through Jesus Christ our Lord by whom and with whom in the unity of the Holy Ghost all honour and glory be unto thee O Father Almighty world without end Amen ¶ Or this ALmighty and everliving God we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received

Amen ACcept also most gracious God of our unfeigned thanks for filling our hearts again with joy and gladness after the time that thou hast afflicted us and putting a new song into our mouths by bringing his Majesty who now reigns over us upon this Day for the deliverance of our Church and Nation from Popish Tyranny and Arbitrary power We adore the wisdom and justice of thy providence which so timely interposed in our extream danger and disappointed all the designs of our enemies We beseech thee give us such a lively and lasting sense of what thou didst then and hast since that time done for us that we may not grow secure and careless in our obedience by presuming upon thy great and undeserved goddness but that it may lead us to repentance and move us to be the more diligent and zealous in all the duties of our Religion which thou hast in a marvellous manner preserved to us Let truth and justice brotherly kindness and charity devotion and piety concord and unity with all other virtues so flourish among us that they may be the Stability of our Times and make this Church a Praise in the Earth All which we humbly beg for the sake of our blessed Lord and Saviour Amen ¶ In the end of the Litany which shall alway this Day he used after the Collect We humbly beseech thee O Father c shall this be said which followeth ALmighty God and heavenly Father who of thy gracious providence and tender mercy towards us didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our enemies by discovering and confounding their horrible and wicked enterprise plotted and intended this Day to be executed against the King and the whole State of this Realm for the Subversion of the Government and Religion established among us and didst likewise upon this Day wonderfully conduct thy servant our present King and bring him safely into this Kingdom to preserve us from the late Attempts of our Enemies to bereave us of our Religion and Laws We most humbly praise and magnifie thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable goodness towards us expressed in both these Acts of thy mercy We confess it has been of thy mercy alone that we are not consumed for our sins have cried to Heaven against us and our iniquities justly called for vengeance upon us But thou hast not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us after our iniquities nor given us over as we deserved to be a prey to our Enemies but hast in mercy delivered us from their malice and preserved us from death and destruction Let the consideration of this thy repeated goodness O Lord work in us true repentance that iniquity may not be our ruine And increase in us more and more a lively faith and love fruitful in all holy obedience that thou mayest still continue thy favour with the light of thy Gospel to us and our posterity for evermore and that for thy dear Sons sake Jesus Christ our only Mediatour and Advocate Amen ¶ Instead of the Prayer In time of War and Tumults shall be used this Prayer following O Lord who didst this day discover the snares of death that were laid for us and didst wonderfully deliver us from the same Be thou still our mighty Protectour and scatter our Enemies that delight in blond Infatuate and defeat their Counsels abate their Pride asswage their Malice and confound their Devices Strengthen the hands of our gracious Sovereign King WILLIAM and all that are put in Authority under him with Judgment and Justice to cut off all such workers of iniquity as turn Religion into Rebellion and Faith into Faction that they may never prevail against us or triumph in the ruine of thy Church among us But that our gracious Sovereign and his Realms being preserved in thy true Religion and by thy merciful goodness protected in the same we may all duly serve thee and give thee thanks in thy holy Congregation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
