Let us pray.

God, whofe property it is always to have mercy and to fpare; receive our petitions, that we, and all thy fervants, who are bound by the chain of fin, may, by the compaffion of thy goodness, mercifully be abfolved.

HEar, we befeech thee, O Lord, the prayers of thy fuppliants, and pardon us our fins, who

confefs them to thee; that of thy bounty thou may'st grant us pardon and peace.

OUT of thy clemency, O Lord, fhew us thy unfpeakable mercy; that fo thou may'ft both acquit us of our fins, and deliver us from the punishment we deferve for them.

O God, who by fin art offended, and pacified by repentance, mercifully regard the prayers of thy people, who make fupplication to thee: and turn away the fcourges of thy anger, which we deferve for our fins.

Almighty and eternal God, have mercy on thy

fervant N. our chief Bishop, and direct him, according to thy clemency, in the way of everlasting falvation, that, by thy grace, he may defire the things that are agreeable to thy will, and perform them with all his ftrength.

WE befeech thee, O almighty God, that thy fer

vant our King, who, thro' thy mercy, hath undertaken the government of these realms, may likewife receive the increase of all virtue: wherewith being adorned, he may avoid the enormity of fin, and, being rendered acceptable in thy fight, come at length to thee, who art the way, the truth, and the life.

O God, from whom are holy defires, righteous counfels, and juft works, give to thy fervants that peace, which the world cannot give; that our hearts being difpofed to keep thy commandments, and the fear of the enemies taken away, the times, by thy protection, may be peaceable,

Nfame, O Lord, our reins and hearts with the fire of the holy Spirit; to the end we may ferve thee with a chafte body, and please thee with a clean heart. God, the creator and redeemer of all the faith

ful, give to the fouls of thy fervants departed the remiffion of all their fins; that, by our pious fupplications, they may obtain the pardon they have always defired.

PRevent, we beseech thee, O Lord, our actions by thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by thy gracious affiftance; that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from thee, and by thee be happily ended.

Almighty and eternal God, who haft dominion

over the living and the dead, and art merciful to all, whom thou knoweft will be thine by faith and good works; we humbly befeech thee that they, for whom we have purposed to offer our prayers, whether this prefent world still detains them in the flesh, or the next world hath already received them divested of their bodies, may by the clemency of thy own goodness, and the interceffion of thy faints, obtain pardon and full remiffion of all their fins, thro' our Lord Jefus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghoft, one God world without end. R. Amen.
