I Exhort you therefore that first of all prayers supplications intercessions and giuing of thankes be made for all men for Princes and for all that are in authority that we may liue a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie for that is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour ¶ You shall vnderstande that euery thing in this booke is placed in order as it shall be vsed without turning to and fro sauing the three lessons taken out of the olde Testament of which you may chuse any one as you thinke best for the first lesson at this morning prayer And in Cathedrall Churches the minister may vse eyther of the other two for the first lesson at euening prayer ¶ First the Minister shall with a loude voyce pronounce some one of these three sentences as in the booke of common prayer Ezech. 18 AT what time soeuer a sinner doeth repent him of his sinne from the bottome of his heart I will put all his wickednesse out of my remembrance saith the Lord. Ioel. 2. Rent your heartes and not your garmentes and turne to the Lord your God because he is gentle and merciful he is pacient and of much mercy and such a one that is sorie for your afflictions If we say that we haue no sinne we deceiue our selues and there is no trueth in vs. DEarely beloued brethren the scripture moueth vs in sundrie places to acknowledge and confesse our manifolde sinnes and wickednes and that we shoulde not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of almightie God our heauenly father but confesse thē with an humble lowly penitent obedient heart to the end that we may obtaine forgiuenesse of the same by his infinite goodnesse and mercie And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sinnes before God yet ought wee most chiefly so to do when we assemble and meete together to render thankes for the great benefits that we haue receiued at his handes to set forth his most worthy prayse to heare his most holy worde and to aske those thinges which be requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soule Wherefore I pray beseech you as many as be here present to accompany me with a pure heart humble voyce vnto the throne of the heauenly grace saying after me A generall confession to be said of the whole congregation after the Minister kneeling ALmightie and most mercifull father we haue erred strayed from thy waies like lost sheepe we haue folowed too much the deuices and desires of our owne hearts We haue offended against thy holy Lawes We haue left vndone those things which we ought to haue done and wee haue done those things which we ought not to haue done and there is no helth in vs but thou O Lord haue mercy vpon vs miserable offenders Spare thou them O GOD which confesse their faultes restore thou them that be penitent according to thy promises declared vnto mankind in Christ Iesu our Lord. And graunt O most mercifull father for his sake that we may hereafter liue a godly righteous and sober life to the glorie of thy holy name Amen The absolution to be pronounced by the Minister alone ALmightie God the father of our Lord Iesus Christ which desireth not the death of a sinner but rather that he may turne from his wickednesse and liue and hath giuen power commaundement to his ministers to declare and pronounce to his people being penitent the absolution and remission of their sinnes he pardoneth absolueth all them which truely repent and vnfaynedly beleeue his holy Gospel Wherefore we beseech him to graunt vs true repentance his holy spirite that those thinges may please him which we doe at this present and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holye so that at the last we way come to his eternall ioye through Iesus Christ our Lord. The people shall answere Amen Then shall the Minister begin the Lordes prayer with a lowde voyce OVr father which art in heauen halowed be thy name Thy kingdome come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen Giue vs this day our dayly bread And forgiue vs our trespasses as we forgiue them that trespasse against vs. And leade vs not into temptation But deliuer vs from euill Amen Then likewise he shall say O Lord open thou our lippes Answere And our mouth shall shew forth thy prayse Minister O God make speede to saue vs. Answere O Lord make haste to helpe vs. Minister Glorie be to the father c.
