Or this.

LMIGHTY and everliving God, we moft heartily thank Thee, for that Thou doft vouchfafe to feed us, who have duly received these holy Myfteries, with the fpiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the bleffed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlafting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and paffion of thy dear Son. And we moft humbly beseech Thee, O heavenly Father, so to affist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all fuch good works as Thou haft prepared for us to walk in; (he joins his hands:) through Jefus Chrift our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

¶ Then shall be faid or fung [the Priest extending and then joining his hands, and flightly bowing his head],

LORY be to God on high: and in earth peace, goodwill towards men, (All bow :) We praise Thee, we blefs Thee, we worship Thee, we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father almighty.

O Lord, the only-begotten Son Jefu Chrift; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the fins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the fins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the fins of the world, (All bow:) receive our prayer. Thou that fitteft at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.

For Thou only art holy; Thou only art the Lord; Thou only, O Chrift, with the Holy Ghoft, art most high in the glory (All bow and cross themfelves:) of God the Father. Amen.

T

Then let the Priest fay,

HE peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And

the bleffing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

Then let the Prieft incline lowly and reverently to the Bleffed Sacrament. After which, let him reverently confume what remains of the Sacrament, carefully wiping the Paten over the Chalice with the forefinger of the right hand, and afterwards draining the Chalice to the last drop.

Which done, let the Prieft go to the Epiftle fide of the Altar carrying the Chalice and Paten between his hands, his fingers joined as before, and let the Sub-Deacon (at a Low Mafs, the Server) approach and pour wine into the Chalice, which the Priest shall drink, and say,

RANT, O Lord, that what we have received with our mouth we may retain with a pure mind, and that from the temporal Gift may be an eternal healing. Then let the Priest wash his fingers and also the Paten (and Ciborium) over the Chalice with water miniftered by the Sub-deacon (or Server); and, having drunk this fecond ablution, let him wipe the Paten, (Ciborium,) and Chalice, faying,

M

AY this Communion, O Lord, cleanse us from fin, and make us partakers of the heavenly healing.

Then let him ftretch the purificator across the lips of the Chalice, and, placing the Paten on the top, deliver them to the Deacon, who is in the midst of the Altar folding up the Corporals. When the Veffels have been removed, and the Deacon defcends from the foot-pace, let the Prieft return to the centre, bow, and, in memory of the paffion of the Lord, say,

L

ET us venerate the fign of the Crofs whereby we have received the Sacrament of Salvation.

But if the Priest be celebrating without Deacon and Subdeacon, let him, when he has completed the ablutions,

leave the Chalice, with purificator and Paten on it, fomewhat toward the Epiftle fide, and go at once to the centre, where he bows and says: Let us venerate the fign, &c. Then let him fold up the Corporal and fair linen Cloth, placing them in the burfe, move the Veffels to the centre, and veil them in the accustomed manner.

O

After this let the Prieft fay fecretly, with joined
hands, inclining his body,

MOST Holy Trinity, grant that this my bounden

duty and service may be pleasing unto Thee, and that this Sacrifice, which I unworthy have offered in the fight of thy Majefty, may be accepted by Thee, and through thy mercy may be a propitiation for me and all for whom I have offered It. Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

Then let him fign himself, faying,

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghoft. Amen.

And fo, having made an inclination, let them depart with the Taper-bearers and other Minifters in the order in which they came in; and in returning let the Priest Jay the first fourteen verfes of the Gospel according to S. John: In the beginning was the Word, &c.

SSIST us mercifully, O Lord, in these our fupplications and prayers, and dispose the fervants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy moft gracious and ready help; through Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

O

ALMIGHTY Lord, and everlafting God, vouchsafe, we beseech Thee, to direct, fanctify, and we govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy

laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preferved in body and foul; through our Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift. Amen.

LMIGHTY God, the Fountain of all wisdom, who knoweft our neceffities before we afk, and our ignorance in asking; We befeech Thee to have compassion upon our infirmities; and those things, which for our unworthinefs we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, vouchfafe to give us, for the worthiness of thy Son Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

LMIGHTY God, who haft promised to hear the petitions of them that afk in thy Son's Name; We befeech Thee mercifully to incline thine ears to us that have made now our prayers and fupplications unto Thee; and grant, that those things, which we have faithfully asked according to thy will, may effectually be obtained, to the relief of our neceffity, and to the setting forth of thy glory; through Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

After the Celebration.

As the Priest is returning from the Altar let him Jay the Gospel from S. John, and let him finish it in the facrifty if need be:

S. John i. 1-14.

N the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness ; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The fame came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto his own, and his own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the fons of God, even to them that believe on his Name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the Onlybegotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

But when the Priest has taken off his Chafuble and the rest of his facerdotal Vestments let him fay the following Pfalms, under one Gloria, with the Antiphon.
