offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; Who by His death hath destroyed death, and by His rising to life again hath restored to us everlasting life. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon Ascension Day, and seven days after.

Through Thy most dearly beloved Son JESUS CHRIST Our LORD; Who after His most glorious Resurrection manifestly appeared to all His Apostles, and in their sight ascended up into heaven to prepare a place for us; that where He is, thither we might also ascend, and reign with Him in glory. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon Whit-Sunday, and six days after.

Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD; according to Whose most true promise, the Holy Ghost came down as at this time from heaven with a sudden great sound, as it had been a mighty wind, in the likeness of fiery tongues, lighting upon the Apostles, to teach them, and to lead them to all truth; giving them both the gift of divers languages, and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly to preach the Gospel unto all nations; whereby we have been brought out of darkness and error into the clear light and true knowledge of Thee, and of Thy Son JESUS CHRIST. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon the feast of Trinity only.

Who art one GOD, one LORD; not one only Person, but three Persons in one Substance. For that which we believe of the glory of the FATHER, the same we believe of the SON, and of the HOLY GHOST, without

any difference or inequality. Therefore with Angels, &c.

After each of which Prefaces shall immediately be sung or said,

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Thy glorious Name; evermore praising Thee, and saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD GOD of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of Thy glory: Glory be to Thee, O LORD Most High. Amen.

Then shall the Priest. kneeling down at the Lord's Table, say in the name of all them that shall receive the Communion, this Prayer following.

When the Priest acknowledges, in the following humble form, his own and the communicants' unworthiness, and God's unmerited kindness in admitting them to His Table; make this act of humility your own, by attending to it most devoutly.

We do not presume to come to this Thy Table, O merciful LORD, trusting in our own righteousness, but in Thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under Thy Table. But Thou art the same LORD, Whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us, therefore, gracious LORD, so to eat the flesh of Thy dear Son JESUS CHRIST, and to drink His blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by His body, and our souls washed through His most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us. Amen.

Here there will be a short pause, and you will have time to consider what the Consecration is, and to say a short prayer.

O most gracious GOD, sanctify, we beseech Thee, by Thy Word and Holy Spirit, these Thy creatures of Bread and Wine, that so we, receiving the Spiritual food of our SAVIOUR's most precious Body and Blood, may be renewed and sanctified in body, soul, and spirit. Amen.

When the Priest, standing before the Table, hath SO ordered the Bread and Wine, that he may with the more readiness and decency break the Bread before the people, and take the Cup into his hands he shall say the Prayer of Consecration, as followeth.

Almighty God, our heavenly FATHER, who of Thy tender mercy didst give Thine only SON JESUS CHRIST to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption; who made there (by His one oblation of Himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in His holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that His precious death, until His coming again; Hear us, O merciful FATHER, we most humbly beseech Thee; and grant that we receiving these Thy creatures of bread and wine, according to Thy SON our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST'S holy institution, in remembrance of His death and passion, may be partakers of His most blessed

Body and Blood: Who in the same night that He was betrayed,

(Here the Priest is to take the Paten into his hands)

took Bread; and, when He had given thanks, (And here to break the Bread)

He brake it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, Take, eat,

(And here to lay his hand on all the Bread)

this is My Body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of Me. Likewise after supper

He

(Here he is to take the Cup into his hand)

took the Cup; and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for

(And here to lay his hands on every vessel (be it Chalice or Flagon) in which there is any Wine to be consecrated) this is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins: Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of Me. Amen.

At the conclusion of the Consecration, say,

O LAMB of GOD, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.

O LAMB of GOD, that takest away the sins of the world; take away mine, for I am a grievous sinner. O LAMB of GOD, that takest away the sins of the world; grant us Thy Peace.

Then shall the Minister first receive the Communion In both kinds himself, and then proceed to deliver the same to the Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, in like manner (if any be present), and after that to the people also in order, into their hands, all meekly kneeling.

While the Clergy and others are communicating, the following Prayers may be said.

Glory be to Thee, O LORD, who by this Heavenly food dost unite us to Thyself; for what can make us become one with Thee more, than when Thou vouchsafest to become the very Food of our Souls?

And yet, blessed JESUS, I even tremble when I consider that he that eateth and drinketh unworthily is guilty of Thy Body and Blood; and this thought makes me afraid to draw nigh to Thee.

But when I consider that Thy sentence is as severe against those who being invited refuse to come, for Thou hast said, They shall not taste of Thy supper, and unless we eat Thy flesh, and drink Thy blood, we have no life in us,-I am then afraid to draw back.

But blessed be Thy mercy, O LORD, for in this strait Thou art my guide, Thou, by giving me this opportunity of receiving, invitest me to Thy Table; Thou callest me to seek Thy face,-and my heart replies, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

If Thou, LORD, shouldest be extreme to mark what is done amiss, alas! alas! I am then unfit, not only to Communicate, but to say even my daily prayers.

I know, O LORD, that if I should stay till I am
