HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE FIDES HVMILITAS A fourme of prayer with thankes giuing to be vsed of all the Queenes Maiesties louing subiects euery yeere the 17. of Nouember being the daye of her Highnesse entry to her kingdome Set forth by authoritie Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker printer to the Queenes Maiestie Cum priuilegio Regiae Maiestatis An order for morning prayer to be vsed the 17. of Nouember 1. Tim. 2. vers 1. 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. As it was in the beginning c. Prayse ye the Lorde Then shal be sayd or sung this Psalme following O Come let vs sing vnto the Lord let vs heartily reioyce in the strength of our saluation Let vs come before his presence with thākesgiuing and shewe our selues glad in him with Psalmes For the Lorde is a great God and a great king aboue all gods In his hand are all the corners of the earth and the strength of the hilles is his also The sea is his and he made it and his hands prepared the drie land O come let vs worship and fall downe kneele before the Lorde our maker For he is the Lorde our God and we are the people of his pasture and the sheepe of his hands To day if ye will heare his voyce harden not your hearts as in the prouocation and as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse When your fathers tempted mee proued me and sawe my workes Fourtie yeeres long was I grieued with this generation and sayd It is a people that do erre in their hearts for they haue not knowne my waies Vnto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest Glorie be to the father c. As it was in the beginning c. Domine in virtute Psalm 21. THe King shall reioyce in thy strength O Lord exceeding glad shall he be of thy saluation Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire and hast not denied him the request of his lippes For thou shalt preuent him with the blessings of goodnes and shalt set a crowne of pure golde vpon his head He asked life of thee and thou gauest him a long life euen for euer and euer His honour is great in thy saluation glory and great worship shalt thou lay vpon him For thou shalt giue him euerlasting felicitie and make him glad with the ioy of thy countenance And why because the King
