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 the Father We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge We therefore pray thee help thy Servants whom thou hast Redeemed with thy most precious Blood Make them to be numbered with thy Saints in Glory everlasting O Lord Save thy People and Bless thine Heritage Govern them and lift them up for ever Day by day we magnifie thee And we worship thy Name ever World without end Vouchsafe O Lord to keep us this day without Sin O Lord have Mercy upon us have Mercy upon us O Lord let thy Mercy lighten upon us as our Trust is in thee O Lord in thee have I trusted let me never be confounded Amen The second Lesson appointed for this morning Prayer is the thirteenth Chapter of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans 1. Let every Soul be subject unto the Higher Powers for there is no Power but of God the Powers that be are Ordained of God 2. Whosoever therefore Resisteth the Power Resisteth the Ordinance of God and they that Resist shall receive to themselves Damnation 3. For Rulers are not a Terrour to good Works but to the Evil wilt thou then not be afraid of the Power do that which is good and thou shalt have Praise of the Same 4. For he is the Minister of God to thee for Good but if thou dost that which is Evil be afâ—aid for he beareth not the Sword in Vain for he is the Minister of God a Revenger to execute Wrath upon him that doth Evil. 5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for Wrath but also for Conscience Sake 6. For for this Cause pay you Tribute also for they are Gods Ministers attending continually upon this very thing 7. Render therefore to all their Dues Tribute to whom Tribute is due Custom to whom Custom Fear to whom Fear Honour to whom Honour 8. Owe no man any thing but to Love one another for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the Law 9. For this thou shalt not commit Adultery thou shalt not Kill thou shalt not Steal thou shalt not bear false Witness thou shalt not Covet and if there be any other Commandment it is briefly comprehended in this saying namely thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy Selfe 10. Love worketh no ill to his Neighbour therefore Love is the fulfilling of the Law 11. And that knowing the time that now it is high time to awake out of Sleep for now is our Salvation nearer then when we Believed 12. The Night is far spent the Day is at hand let us therefore cast off the Works of Darkness and let us put on the Armour of Light 13. Let us walk honestly as in the Day not in Rioting and Drunkenness not in Chambering and Wantonness not in Strife and Envying 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not Provision for the Flesh to fulfil the Lusts thereof Thus endeth the Second Lesson for this Morning Prayer being the thirteenth Chapter of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans Then say this O be Joyful in the Lord all ye Lands serve the Lord with gladness and come before his Presence with a Song Be ye sure that the Lord he is God it is he that hath made us and not we our selves we are his People and the Sheep of his Pasture O go your way into his Gates with Thanksgiving and into his Courts with Praise be thankful unto him and speak good of his Name For the Lord is Gracious his Mercy is everlasting and his Truth endureth from Generation to Generation 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 O Lord Increase my Faith I Believe in God the Father Almighty maker of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Ghost born of the Virgin Mary Suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified Dead and Buried he descended into Hell the third Day he arose again from the Dead he ascended into Heaven and sitteth on the right Hand of God the Father Almighty from thence he shall come to Judge both the Quick and the Dead I believe in the Holy Ghost the Holy Catholick Church the Communion of Saints the Forgiveness of Sins the Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting Amen Then Say the Collect for Grace O
