_Then shall the Priest, and the people with him, say the Lord"s Prayer_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespa.s.ses, As we forgive them that trespa.s.s against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
_Priest_. O Lord, deal not with us after our sins.
_Answer_. Neither reward us after our iniquities.
Let us pray.
O G.o.d, merciful Father, that despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as be sorrowful: Mercifully a.s.sist our prayers that we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils, which the craft and subtilty of the devil or man worketh against us, be brought to nought, and by the providence of thy goodness they may be dispersed; that we thy servants, being hurt by no persecutions, may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
_O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thy Name"s sake_.
O G.o.d, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the n.o.ble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them.
_O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine honour_.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
_Answer_. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
From our enemies defend us, O Christ.
_Graciously look upon our afflictions_.
