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 those who trespass against us; lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

PRAYER V.

FROM THE SCRIPTURES.-Morning or Evening. O great and glorious Jehovah, King eternal, immortal, and invisible, author of our being, creator of all worlds, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and whose kingdom is from generation to generation, to whom power belongeth, and with whom nothing is impossible; we would join the innumerable company of angels, and the spirits of the just made perfect, in adoring and praising thee. Thousand thousands of them minister unto thee, and ten thousand times ten thousands stand before thee and do thy pleasure. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Thy tender mercies are over all thy works. Thou visitest the earth and waterest it. Thou causest the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the use of man, and bread which strengthens man's heart.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness. All creatures wait upon thee, and thou givest them their meat in due season. By thee kings reign, and princes decree justice. All nations before thee are as nothing, less than nothing, and vanity. When we consider the heavens, the work of thy hands, the moon and stars which thou hast created, well may we exclaim, Lord, what is man that thou shouldest be so mindful of him, or the son of man that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him and magnify him? O blessed Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, we would honor thee, even as we honor the Father; for thou art the brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of his person. Thou art the true God and eternal life; for thou and the Father art one, thou in him and he in thee. No man can come to the Father but by thee; for thou art the way, the truth and the life. Thou dost ever live to make intercession for us at the right hand of God the Father, Worthy, therefore, is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing; for he was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by his blood. Believing in thee, blessed Jesus, we would rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory; for thou wert our Immanuel, God with us on earth. And we would worship and adore thee, also, O Holy

Ghost, the Comforter, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, by whose blessed operation we are convinced of sin, and by whose holy guidance we are led to the Saviour, and enabled to call him Lord, to the glory of God the Father. O do thou who art sent to teach us all things, show us more and more of the plague of our own hearts, and open our eyes that we may see the wondrous things out of the law of God. Make us, by thy power, to abound in hope, and to be filled with comfort in all our tribulations. Strengthen us with might in the inner man, and make our bodies to be even the temple in which thou dost delight to dwell. And may our whole body, soul, and spirit, be sanctified wholly, and preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord. O great Jehovah-Holy -Holy-Holy-Lord God of Hosts-Father, Son and Spirit-fulfil in us all the good pleasure of thy goodness. Be thou with us, and be greater than all who are against us. Let thy grace be suffiEnable us to resist the Devil, that he

may flee us.

If a good work be begun in us, perform it, we pray thee, until the day of Christ. And may the grace of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and the love of God our heavenly Father, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier and Comforter, be with us, to redeem, to sanctify, and glorify us, now and for evermore.

Amen. Our Father, who 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 those who trespass against us; lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for Amen.

ever.

PRAYER VI.

FROM BISHOP WILSON.-Morning.

Accept of our thanks, O thou giver of all good, for having preserved us through another night, and brought us to the light of another day. Continue this thy guardian care to us, O gracious God, until the night of death is past, when we beseech thee to raise us up to everlasting life. We gratefully acknowledge our dependence upon thee for all the necessaries, conveniences, and comforts of this life, and for everlasting happiness hereafter. We give thee thanks for the light of thy gospel, and the help of thy grace, and for the promise thou hast made of pardon and forgiveness through thy Son Jesus Christ, on our sincere repentance and amendment. Give us, we beseech thee, such a sense of these and all thy other mercies, as may make us truly thankful to thee for them. Give us grace, O God, ever to walk as in thy sight, making a conscience

of all our ways, and fearing to offend thee, so that we may never fall into those sins of which we have already repented. Enable us to resist and overcome the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the Devil; to follow the motions of thy good spirit, to be serious and holy in our lives, true and just in our dealings, watchful over our thoughts, words, and actions, diligent in our business, and temperate in all things. Give us grace to improve all the talents committed to our trust; and may no worldly business, no worldly pleasures, divert us from the concerns of the world to come. May thy blessing be upon our person, upon our labors, and upon all that belongs to us, and may we never undertake any work that we dare not beg of thee to prosper. heavenly Master, bless us, we pray, with good and faithful servants; and grant that we may perform all the duties of Christian rulers; that we may have a tender concern for the welfare, both of their souls and bodies, and be examples to them of sobriety, justice, and piety, so that we may be an household fearing God; and may thy blessing rest upon them and upon all our affairs committed to their trust. And O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for his sake bless our children. Grant them healthful bodies, understanding souls, and sanctified hearts. Keep them from all dangers and sad accidents. Let thy grace preserve them from the
