THURSDAY MORNING.

tion, with fear and trembling. Remember all who call unto Thee in the night season; hear them and have mercy on them, and cast their invisible enemy down under their feet. For Thou art the Prince of peace, and Saviour of our souls, and to thee we ascribe glory, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that Thy faithful people do unto Thee true and laudable service; grant, we beseech Thee, that we may so faithfully serve Thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain Thy heavenly promises, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, who hast given Thine only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin, and also an ensample of godly life; give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that His inestimable

benefit, and also daily endeavour ourselves to follow the blessed steps of His most holy life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, who, by the resurrection of Thy well-beloved Son, hast brought life and immortality to light; we beseech Thee that as Thou hast raised Him from the dead by Thy mighty power, so we also may walk in newness of life, and be planted in the likeness of His resurrection, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Hear us, O heavenly Father, for His sake; to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one living and true God, be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

To be said by all.

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name: Thy kingdom come : Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, world without end. Amen.

By the Head alone.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all, evermore. Amen.

THURSDAY EVENING.

AFTER READING SCRIPTURE.

To be said by all.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep; we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts; we have offended against Thy most holy laws; we have left undone the things which we ought to have done, and we have done the things which we ought not to have done; we have justly provoked Thy wrath and indignation against us; but Thou hast had mercy upon us hitherto; and hast given us grace to come together at this time with one accord to acknowledge our offences, and to implore Thy pardon have pity upon us, most mer
