That it may please thee to forgive our enemies, persecutors and slanderers, and to turn their hearts: We beseech thee to hear us good Lord. That it may please thee to give and preserve to our use the kindly fruits of the earth, so that in due time we may enjoy them: We beseech thee to hear us good Lord. That it may please thee to give to us true repentance, to forgive us all our sins, negligences and ignorances, to and1 endue us with the grace of thy holy Spirit, to amend our lives according to thy holy word: We beseech thee to hear us good Lord. Son of God we beseech thee to hear us. Son of God: we beseech thee to hear us. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world: O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world : O Christ hear us. O Christ hear us. Lord have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us. Our Father which art in. &c. And suffer us not to be led into temptation. Versicle. O Lord deal not with us after our sins. Let us pray. O God merciful Father, that despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as be sorrowful, mercifully assist our prayers, that we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us : [ Misprint for, and to.] and graciously hear us, that those evils, which the craft and subtlety of the devil or man worketh against us, be brought to nought, and by the providence of thy goodness they may be dispersed, that we thy servants, being hurt by no persecutions, may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy church: through Jesu Christ our Lord. Amen. O Lord arise, help us, and deliver us for thy name's sake. O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us the noble works, that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them. O Lord arise, help us, and deliver us for thine honour. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. From our enemies defend us, O Christ. Graciously look upon our afflictions. Pitifully behold the dolour of our heart. Mercifully forgive the sins of thy people. Favourably with mercy hear our prayers. O Son of David, have mercy upon us. Both now and ever vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ. Graciously hear us, O Lord Christ. Versicle. O Lord, let thy mercy be shewed upon us. Answer. As we do put our trust in thee. Let us pray. WE humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities, and for the glory of thy name sake turn from us those evils that we most righteously have deserved. And grant that in all our troubles, we may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in holiness and pureness of living, to thy honor and glory through our only mediator and advocate Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God, whose nature and property is, ever to have mercy and to forgive, receive our humble petitions and though we be tied and bound with the chain of our sins, yet let the pitifulness of thy great mercy loose us for the honour of Jesus Christ's sake, our mediator and advocate. ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, which only workest great marvels, send down upon our Bishops and curates, and all congregations committed to their charge, the healthful spirit of thy grace, and that they may truly please thee: Pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing: grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our advocate and mediator Jesus Christ. Amen. GRANT we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we in our trouble put our whole confidence upon thy mercy, that we against all adversity be defended under thy protection: grant this, O Lord God, for our only mediator and advocate Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. A Prayer of Chrysostome. ALMIGHTY God, which hast given us grace at this time with one accord, to make our common supplications unto thee, and dost promise that when two or three be gathered together in thy name, thou will grant their requests: fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them: granting us in this world, knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come, life everlasting. Amen. |
