And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the all ye lands serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholick Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

GOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all as saults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Third Collect, for Grace. LORD, our heavenly Father Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Here may be sung a Hymn. Then these five Prayers following may be read here, except when the Litany is read; and then only the two last are to be read, as they are there placed. A Prayer for the Queen's Majesty.

THE ORDER FOR EVENING PRAYER. The Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.-HAB. ii. 20. At the beginning of Evening with a loud voice some one or WHEN the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Ezek. xviii. 27. I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Psalm li. 3. Hide thy face from my belled against him: neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us. Dan. ix. 9, 10.
