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.

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, ac-. cording 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.

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 difposed to keep thy commandments, and the fear of the enemies taken away, the times, by thy protection, may be peaceable,

Nflame, O Lord, our reins and hearts with the fire

God, the creator and redeemer of all the faithful, 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 purpofed to offer our prayers, whether this prefent world still detains them in the flesh, or the next world hath already received them divefted 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 Chrift, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghoft, one God world without end. R. Amen.
