In this collation of the most recent editions of the Book of Common Prayer for Ireland issued by the Patentees, with the MS. Book preserved in the Rolls' Office, Dublin, the letters U. Pr. denote the University Press nonpareil 24's of 1845, and Q. Pr. the Queen's Printers' 4to. edition of 1846.

Of these books it may be observed, generally, that they differ greatly from the MS. in the use or disuse of capital letters; in modernising the spelling of many words; in the mode of contraction in the Scripture references; in the introduction of ¶ before Rubrics; and in punctuation: but it has not been thought requisite to particularise such errors except in cases where the sense is perverted or obscured. All instances, however, of the insertion, suppression, or mutilation of Prayers or Rubrics, or of the interpolation or omission of words, are noticed.

Dearely beloved Brethren, the Scripture moveth vs in sundry places, to acknowledge, and confess our manifold sins and wickedness

and that we should not dissemble nor cloake them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly father, but confesse them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart, to the end, that we may obtain forgiveness of the same by his infinite goodnesse, and mercy. And although we ought a all times humbly to acknowledge our sings before god, yet ought wee most chfly so to doll, when we assemble, and meet together, to render thanks for the great benefis, that we have received a his hands, to se forth his most worthy praise, to heare his most holy word, and to aske those things, which are requisite, and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray, and beseech you as many as are here Pesent, to accompany meg. with a pure heart, and humble voice vnto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me.
