beseech thee mercifully to incline thine ears to us who have made now our prayers and supplications 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 necessity, and to the setting forth of thy glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then the Priest, being turned to the People, shall pronounce

this Blessing The 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 blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen. And after a pause, the Deacon shall stand up, and say to

the People,

Depart in peace. Note, that if the Eucharist be not celebrated on Ash-Wednesday,

or on any of the six days next before Easter, then the beginning of the Communion-Service, as appointed, with the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, shall be first said, and immediately after the Nicene Creed this Penitential Office shall follow.

Here endeth the Penitential Office.

The Collects, Epistles, and Gospels, to be used throughout

the year, are the same with those appointed in the Common

Prayer Book of the Church of England. But Note,
That no Collect appointed for any Sunday or Holy-day, is to be

said at the Evening Service next before :
That the Introit, Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, appointed for the

Sunday, shall serve all the week after, where it is not in this Book otherwise ordered, and then that for the Sunday is to be omitted :

That the Introit, Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, appointed for the

Epiphany, Ash-Wednesday, and Ascension-day, shall serve for

every day after to the Sunday following : That if an Holy-day happen upon a Wednesday or Friday, the

Lessons, Introit, Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, appointed for
the Holy-day, shall be used; but the day shall be observed as a

Fast, except it be Christmas-day :
That if an Holy-day happen upon a Sunday, the Lessons, Introit,

Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, appointed for the Holy-day, shall

be used, and those for the Sunday shall be omitted : but if it happen on Ash-Wednesday, or any day in Holy Week, on Easterday, the Sunday after Easter, Ascension-day, Whitsunday, on Monday or Tuesday in Easter or Whitsun-week, on Trinity Sunday, or on a Sunday in Advent, then those for the Holy-day shall be omitted,

ministering the Sacrament, of the Eucharist. Note, That none but the Faithful are to be present at this Office. Before the Communion-time the Deacon shall prepare so much

bread, wine, and water for the Eucharist, as he judgeth convenient : laying the bread in the paten, or in some other decent thing provided for that purpose ; and putting the wine into the chalice, or else into some fair and convenient cup provided for that use, and the water into some other proper vessel. After which he shall place them all upon the Prothesis, and

cover them with a fair white linen cloth. The Altar, at the Communion-time, having a fair white linen cloth

upon it, shall stand at the East end of the Church or Chapel. At the beginning of the Communion-Service shall be said or sung

(in the same manner as the Psalms for the day are sung) for the Introit the Psalm appointed for that day, the Deacon having first turned to the People, and said, The Introit appointed for this day is such a Psalm.
