Through Christ we both have an accesse by one Spirit unto the Father C R HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE May .23 London Printed by Iohn Ioness 1644. THE New Booke of Common PRAYER EVery weeke once the Congregation assemble to heare some place of the Scriptures orderly expounded at which time it is lawfull for every man to speak or enquire as God shall move his heart and the Text Minister occasion so it be without pertinacy or disdain as one that seeketh rather to profit then to contend And if so be that any contention arise then such as are appointed Moderators either satisfies the party or else if he seeme to cavill exhort him to keep silence reserving the judgment thereof to the Ministers and Elders to be determined in their Assembly THe highest degree and most annexed to the Ministery and Government of the Church is the exposition of Gods Word contained in the Old and New Testament But because men cannot so well profit in that knowledge except they be first instructed in the tongues and humane Sciences for now God worketh not commonly by miracles it is necessary that seed be sowed for the time to come to the intent that the Church be not left barren and waste to our posteritie that Schools also be erected and Colledges maintained with just and sufficient stipends wherein youth may be trained in the knowledge and feare of God that in their ripe age they may prove worthy members of our Lord Jesus Chist whether it be to rule in Civill Policie or to serve in the Spirituall Ministery or else to live in godly reverence and subjection WHen the Congregation is assembled ●t the houre appointed the Minister useth ●is Confession or the like in effect exhorting the people diligently to examine them selves following in their hearts the tenour of his words The Minister saith O Eternall God and most mercifull Father wee confesse and acknowledge here before thy divine Majesty that we are miserable sinners conceived and borne in sin and iniquity so that in us there is no goodnesse For the flesh ever more rebelleth against the Spirit whereby we continually transgresse thine holy precepts and Comandements and so purchase to our selves through thy just judgement death and damnation notwithstanding ô heavenly Father for as much as wee are displeased with our selves for the sins that we have committed against thee and doe unfainedly repent us of the fame we most humbly beseech thee for Jesus Christ his sake to shew thy mercie upon us to forgive us all our sins to encrease thy holy Spirit in us that wee acknowledging from the bottome of our hearts our own unrighteousnesse may from hence forth nor only mortify our sinfull lusts and affections but also bring forth such fruits as may bee agreeable to thy most blessed will not for the worthinesse thereof but for the merits of thy dearely beloved Sonne Jesus Christ our only Saviour whom thou hast already given an oblation and offering for our sins and for whose sake we are certainly perswaded that thou wilt deny us nothing that we shall aske in his name according to thy will for thy Spirit doth assure our consciences that thou art our mercifull father and so lovest us thy children through him that nothing is able to remove thy heavenly grace and favour from us To thee therefore ô Father with the Sonne and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory world without end So be it Then the minister prayeth to God for the removing of some present trouble or otherwise as the present occasion doth require This done the people sing a Psalme altogether in a tune which all may understand as it hath used to bee done both in England and Scotland before Sermon and whiles the said Psalme is singing the Minister goeth up into the Pulpit and it being ended the Minister prayeth in the Pulpit as God shall move his he art first beging the assistance of Gods holy Spirit and so proceedeth to the Sermon After Sermon the Minister prayeth for the whole state of Christs Church concluding OUr Father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy Kingdome 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 trespasse against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the Kingdome the power and glory for ever and ever Amen Then he prayeth saying ALmighty and everlaking GOD vouchsase we beseech thee to grant us perfect continuance in thy lively faith augmenting the same in us daily till wee grow to the full measure of our perfection in Christ whereof we make confession saying I Beleeve in God the Father Almighty maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord which was conceived by the Holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried hee descended into hell the third day he rose again from the dead he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead I believe in the Holy Ghost the holy Catholike Church the communion of Saints the forgivenesse of sins the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting Amen Then the People sing a Psalme which ended the Minister pronounceth the blessing in these or the like words THe grace of our Lord Iesus Christ the love of God and communion of the Holy Ghost be with us all so be it The Order of Baptisme The childe which is to bee baptised must bee brought to the Church on the day appointed acompanied with the Father and God-Father c. And after the Sermon if there be any the childe is to be presented to the Minister Then the Minister saith DOe you present this childe to bee baptised earnestly desiring that it may be engrafted in the misticall body of Jesus Christ They answer Yea Wee require the same Then the Minister declaring and setting forth Gods love desires them to take notice and consider the great charge that is laid upon them telling them thus Dearely beloved IT is your dutie with all diligence that your children in time convenient be instructed in al doctrine necessary for a true Christian chiefly that they be taught to rest upon the justice of Christ alone and to abhorre and flee all Superstition Papistry and Idolatry A●d to the intent that we may be assured that you the Father and the surety consent to the performance hereof Declare here before God and the face of his Congregation the sum of that Faith wherein you believe and will instruct this child Then the Father or in his absence the Godfather saith I Believe in God the Father Almightie Maker of Heaven and
