THE THIRTIETH DAY.

MORNING.

LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? or the Son of man, that thou so regardest him?

2 Man is like a thing of naught; his time passeth away like a shadow.

3 Whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of wickedness.

4 I will magnify thee, O God, my King, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

5 Every day will I give thanks unto thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever.

6 Great is the Lord, and marvellous, worthy to be praised; there is no end of his great

ness.

7 One generation shall praise thy works unto another, and declare thy power.

8 The Lord is gracious and merciful; longsuffering, and of great goodness.

9 The Lord is loving unto every man, and his mercy is over all his works.

10 All thy works praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints give thanks unto thee.

11 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.

12 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

13 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call

upon him ; yea, all such as call upon him faithfully.

14 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and will help them.

15 Praise the Lord, O my soul: while I live will I praise the Lord; yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.

16 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man; for there is no help in them.

17 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; and whose hope is in the Lord his God;

18 Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong; who feedeth the hungry.

19 The Lord looseth men out of prison; the Lord giveth sight to the blind.

20 The Lord helpeth them that are fallen; the Lord careth for the righteous.

21 The Lord careth for the stranger; he defendeth the fatherless and widow: as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.

22 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore, and throughout all generations.

EVENING.

PRAISE the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises unto our God; yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.

2 Great is our Lord, and great is his

yea,

and his wisdom is infinite.

power;

3 The Lord setteth up the meek, and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground.

4 O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

5 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth; and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men ;

6 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him, and put their trust in his mercy.

7 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the flour of wheat.

8 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth, and his word runneth very swiftly.

9 O praise the Lord of heaven; praise him in the height.

10 Praise him, all ye angels of his; praise him, all his hosts.

11 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

12 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes and all judges of the world;

13 Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the name of the Lord; for his name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.

14 O sing unto the Lord a new song; let the congregation of saints praise him.

15 O praise God in his holiness; praise him in the firmament of his power.

16 Praise him in his noble acts; praise him according to his excellent greatness.

17 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.

THE FORM AND MANNER

OF

MAKING, ORDAINING, AND CONSECRATING

Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.

THE PREFACE.

It is evident unto all men, diligently reading holy Scripture and ancient authors, that from the Apostles' time there have been these Orders of Ministers, in Christ's Church, --- Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. Which offices were evermore had in such reverent estimation, that no man might presume to execute any of them, except he were first called, tried, examined, and known to have such qualities as are requisite for the same; and also by public prayer with imposition of hands, were approved and admitted thereunto by lawful authority.

And the Bishop knowing, either by himself, or by sufficient testimony, any person to be a man of virtuous conversation, and without crime; and, after examination and trial, finding him sufficiently instructed in the holy Scripture, and otherwise learned, may, at the times appointed, or else, on urgent occasion, upon some other day, in the face of the Church, admit him a Deacon, in such manner and form as followeth.
