O Lord, and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; humbly beseeching thee to grant, that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto thee, humbly beseeching thee

that

that all of us who are partakers of this holy Communion may be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction. And although we are unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen,

Or this

Almighty and everlasting God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us, who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us, and that we are very members incorporated in the mystical Body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and passion of thy dear Son. And we most humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, 80 to assist us with grace, that we may ontinue in thy holy fellowship, and

such

Have mercy upon us,

Thou that takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us.

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, ac cording to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation.

NOW, O Lord, refreshed with this hea,

venly banquet, of thy Son's institution, I have sealed my repentance and fly unto thee for the pardon of all those imperfections, that have accompanied me at this time in my attendance at the altar; forgive the weakness of my affection, the wan derings of my thoughts, and perplexity of

my

my mind; let the sincerity of my holy purposes. and resolutions be accepted, notwithstanding my weakness and infirmities.

Oh! let this commemoration of my crucified Saviour SO influence all my thoughts, words and actions, that my conversation may be as becometh the Gospel of Christ. Re
