245. Almighty, Everlasting GOD, Who spakest by Thy blessed Apostle James, saying, "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the Elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with Oil in the Name of the LORD; and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins they shall be forgiven him ;" vouchsafe to anoint this Thy sick servant N. at our hands with hallowed Oil, and to restore him to his former health by the might of Thy blessing, that what is outwardly done by our ministry, Thy Divine power and Thine invisible healing may spiritually make effective within.

Then the Priest, rising, washes his hands. Afterwards he shall say the Blessing over the sick person in this wise.

In the Name of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST; let this Anointing of Oil be to thee for the purifying of soul and body, and for a bulwark and defence against the darts of unclean spirits. Ry. Amen.

246. O LORD GOD, our SAVIOUR, Who art the true Health and Medicine from Whom all soundness and healing come, and Who hast

taught us by the precept of Thine Apostle James to anoint in prayer the sick; graciously look on this Thy servant N., and let the medicine of Thy grace restore to health, after chastisement, him whom weakness leadeth unto death, and failure of strength draweth on to dissolution. Assuage in him, most merciful GOD, all feverish heat, all searching pains, all suffering from weakness. Heal with Thy medicine his reins, his inward parts, and the joints of his marrow. Efface the old scars of his frame and members. Restrain his bitter sufferings. Let the perfect substance of that

flesh and blood which Thou hast made be renewed in him, and let Thy lovingkindness ever so preserve him, that soundness may never lead him to sinfulness, nor sickness to destruction, but that this holy Anointing of Oil may quickly and weakness, and obtain for him drive from him his present disease that pardon of all his sins which he desires through Thee, O SAVIOUR of the world, Who livest and reignest with the FATHER and the HOLY GHOST, one GOD, world without end.

Ry. Amen.

The cottons shall be reverently burnt by the Priest.

Or the following short Form from the First Prayer Book of Edward the Sixth may be substituted, if more convenient.

If the sick person desire to be anointed, then shall the Priest anoint him upon the forehead and breast only, making the sign of the Cross, saying thus,

As with this visible oil thy body outwardly is anointed; so our heavenly FATHER, Almighty GOD, grant of His infinite goodness, that thy soul inwardly may be anointed with the HOLY GHOST, Who is the

Spirit of all strength, comfort, relief, and gladness; and vouchsafe for His great mercy (if it be His blessed will), to restore unto thee thy bodily health, and strength, to serve Him; and send thee release of all thy pains, troubles, and diseases, both in body and mind. And howsoever His goodness (by His divine and unsearchable providence) shall dispose of thee; we, His unworthy ministers and servants, humbly beseech the Eternal Majesty to do with thee according to the multitude of His innumerable mercies, and to pardon thee all thy sins and offences, committed by all thy bodily senses, passions, and

carnal affections; Who also vouchsafe mercifully to grant unto thee ghostly strength, by His HOLY SPIRIT, to withstand and overcome all temptations and assaults of thine adversary, that in no wise he prevail against thee, but that thou mayest have perfect victory and triumph against the devil, sin, and death, through CHRIST our LORD; Who by His death hath overcome the prince of death, and with the FATHER and the HOLY GHOST evermore liveth and reigneth GOD, world without end. Amen.
