Part 40 (1/2)

_Minister_. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

_People_. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

_Minister_. Thou shalt not steal.

_People_. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

_Minister_. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

_People_. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

_Minister_. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his a.s.s, nor any thing that is his.

_People_. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee.

| _There may be subst.i.tuted for_ The Ten Commandments (_which, | however_, _shall always be said at least once a month_) The | Summary of the Law, _as enunciated by our Lord:_ | | Our Lord Jesus Christ said: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our G.o.d | is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy G.o.d with all thy | heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all | thy strength: This is the first commandment. And the second is | like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: | there is none other commandment greater than these.

| | On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

| | _People_. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write these thy laws | in our hearts, we beseech thee.

_Then shall follow one of these two Collects for the King, the Priest standing as before, and saying_,

Let us pray.

Almighty G.o.d, whose kingdom is everlasting, and power infinite: Have mercy upon the whole Church; and so rule the heart of thy chosen servant _GEORGE_, our King and Governor, that he (knowing whose minister he is) may above all things seek thy honour and glory: and that we and all his subjects (duly considering whose authority he hath) may faithfully serve, honour, and humbly obey him, in thee, and for thee, according to thy blessed Word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, ever one G.o.d, world without end. _Amen_.

_Or_,

Almighty and everlasting G.o.d, we are taught by thy holy Word, that the hearts of Kings are in thy rule and governance, and that thou dost dispose and turn them as it seemeth best to thy G.o.dly wisdom: We humbly beseech thee so to dispose and govern the heart of _GEORGE_ thy servant, our King and Governor, that in all his thoughts, words, and works, he may ever seek thy honour and glory, and study to preserve thy people committed to his charge, in wealth, peace and G.o.dliness: Grant this, O merciful Father, for thy dear Son's sake, Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.

| _The Collects for the King may be omitted_.

_Then shall be said the Collect of the day. And immediately after the Collect the Priest shall read the Epistle, saying_, The Epistle [_or_, The portion of Scripture appointed for the Epistle]

is written in the------Chapter of------beginning at the------Verse.

_And the Epistle ended, he shall say_, Here endeth the Epistle. _Then shall he read the Gospel_ (_the people all standing up_) _saying_, The holy Gospel is written in the------Chapter of------beginning at the------Verse.

| _When the Minister announces the Gospel for the day, the people_ | _standing up may devoutly say or sing_ | | Glory be to thee, O Lord; | | _and after the Gospel the people may in like manner say or sing_ | | Thanks be to thee, O Lord, for this thy glorious Gospel.

_And the Gospel ended, shall be sung or said the Creed following, the people still standing as before_.

I believe in one G.o.d the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of G.o.d, Begotten of his Father before all worlds, G.o.d of G.o.d, Light of Light, Very G.o.d of very G.o.d, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father, By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is wors.h.i.+pped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world to come.

Amen.

_Then the Curate shall declare unto the people what Holy-days, or Fasting-days, are in the week following to be observed. And then also_ (_if occasion be_) _shall notice be given of the Communion; and Briefs, Citations, and Excommunications read. And nothing shall be proclaimed or published in the Church during the time of Divine Service, but by the Minister: nor by him any thing but what is prescribed in the Rules of this Book, or enjoined by the King, or by the Ordinary of the place_.

_Then shall follow the Sermon, or one of the Homilies already set forth, or hereafter to be set forth, by authority_.
