come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

URN thou us, O good Lord, and fo fhall we be turned. Be favourable, O Lord, be favourable to thy people, Who turn to thee in weeping, fafting, and praying. For thou art a merciful God, full of compaffion, long-fuffering, and of great pity. Thou fpareft when we deferve punishment, And in thy wrath thinkeft upon mercy. Spare thy people, good Lord, fpare them, And let not thine heritage be brought to confufion. Hear us, O Lord, for thy mercy is great, And after the multitude of thy mercies look upon us, Through the merits and mediation of thy bleffed Son Jefus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the Communion Service, af. ter the Prayer for the King, [Almighty God, whofe kingdom is everlafting, &c.] inftead of the Collect for the Day, fhall thefe to be used: O most mighty God, &c. Bleffed Lord, &c. As in the Morning Prayers. The Epifle. 1S. Pet. 2. 13. Submit yourselves to every

ordinance of man for the Lord's fake: whether it be to the king, as fupreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are fent by him, for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praife of them that do well. For fo is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to filence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of malicioufnefs, but as the fervants of God. Honour all men; Love the brotherhood; Fear God; Honour the king. Servants be fubject to your mafters with ali fear, not only to the good and gentle, but alfo to the

froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for confcience toward God endure grief, fuffering, wrongfully. For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye mall take it patiently? but if when ye do well, and fuffer for it, ye take it patiently; this is acceptable with God. For even here unto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leav ing us an example, that ye fhould follow his fteps; who did no fin, neither was guile found in his mouth.

The Gofpel. S. Matth. 21.33. Tholder which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-prefs in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he fent his fervants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his ferv ants, and beat one, and killed another, and ftoned another, Again he fent other fervants, more than the firft: and they

did unto them likewife. But

laft of all. he fent unto them his fon, faying, They will reverence my fon. But when the hufbandmen faw the fon, they faid among themselves, 'This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and let us feize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and caft him out of the vineyard, and flew him. When the Lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto thofe hufbandmen? They fay unto him, He will miferably deftroy thofe wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which fhall render him the fruits in their seasons.

Leffed God, juft and powerful, who didft permit thy dear fervant, our dread Sovereign King Charles the First, to be, as upon this day, given up to the violent outrages of wicked men, to be defpitefully ufed, and at lait murdered by them: Though we cannot reflect upon fo foul an act, but with horror and aftonifhment; yet do we most gratefully commemorate the glories of thy grace, which then shined forth in thine Anointed; whom thou waft pleased, even at the hour of death, to endue with an eminent measure of exemplary patience, meeknefs, and charity, before the face of his cruel enemies. And albeit thou didst fuffer them to proceed to fuch an height of violence, as to kill him, and to take poffeffion of his Throne: yet didit thou in great mercy preferve his Son, whofe right it was; and at length by a wonderful providence bring him back, and fet him thereon, to restore thy true religion, and to fettle peace a
