5. Give us this day our daily Bread;

BESTOW upon us day by day as much of the good things of this present world, as may be sufficient for our necessary subsistence, and for the useful and innocent conveniences of life, during our continuance in this state of our pilgrimage, until Thou shalt be pleased to bring us to our heavenly Canaan; that good country, which Thou hast provided for us, where we shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; but the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne, shall feed us, and lead us unto living fountains of water. And make us duly sensible, we beseech Thee, of our entire dependence upon Thy providence and blessing, both for our lives and for all the support of them; and ever careful to make suitable returns of love, and praise, and gratitude to Thee, our almighty and most bountiful Benefactor.

6. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us:

FORGIVE, we humbly pray Thee, for Jesus Christ's sake, our great and manifold offences against Thy Divine Majesty. And, that we may not by our own default render ourselves incapable of this act of Thy mercy, without which we must be inevitably miserable to all

eternity; give us grace truly and earnestly to repent of all our sins; and in conformity to the express command, and most powerful example of our blessed Master and Saviour Jesus Christ, readily and heartily to forgive all others their offences against us; considering, that till we have done this, we cannot with any hope of success pray for Thy forgiveness: and that if we do not do it sincerely, Thou wilt certainly find it out; and though, by pretending a reconciliation where really it is not, we may delude men, yet we cannot possibly deceive Thee, the All-seeing God.

7. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil:

AND because Thou knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we are not able of ourselves to keep ourselves from falling, we make our humble supplications unto Thee, Who art our only refuge in time of trouble, that Thou wouldest save and defend us in all dangers ghostly and bodily. If it be Thy blessed will, we earnestly desire that we may not be exposed to any great temptations at all; but if, for any ends of Thy wise providence, Thou shalt think fit to suffer us to be tempted, let it please Thee graciously to strengthen and

support us in all our temptations, and to carry us with innocence and integrity through them; so as never to suffer us to be tempted above what we are able, but with the temptation also to make a way for us to escape, that we may not be overcome by it; but, if need be, may resist even unto blood, striving against sin; that being faithful unto death, Thou mayest give us the crown of life.

8. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

THESE petitions we humbly present unto Thy Divine Majesty, O blessed Lord God, knowing that Thou art the great King over all the world, Whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth; and Whose power is infinite and irresistible, so that Thou art able to do for us abundantly above all that we can ask or think. Hear us then, we beseech Thee, and graciously answer us, for Jesus Christ's sake: so will we ascribe unto Thee, the glory due unto Thy name; acknowledging that Thou art the sole Author of all our blessings, and that to Thee alone belongs the praise for whatsoever good Thou shalt be pleased to work in us, or for us: to Whom therefore be all blessing, honour, glory, and power, for ever and ever. Amen.

O God, Thou art my God: early will I seek Thee ".

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might be occupied in Thy Word".

Have I not remembered Thee on my bed; and thought upon Thee when I was waking? I laid me down and slept, and rose up again; for the Lord sustained me".

What is man that Thou shouldst magnify him, and that Thou shouldst set Thine heart upon him?
