¶ Morning Prayer shall begin with these fentences. Exhort that first of all, Supplications, Prayers, Interceffions, and giving of Thanks, be made for all men; for Kings, and for all that are in Authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honefty; for this is good and acceptable unto God our Saviour. 1 Tim. ii. 1, 2, 3.

If we fay that we have no fin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; but if we confefs our fins, he is faithful and juft to forgive us our fins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteoufnefs. 1 St. John i. 8, 9.

Instead of Venite, exultemus, the Hymn following fhall be faid or fung; one verfe by the Priest, and another by the Clerk and people.

Lord our Governor: how excellent is thy Name in

Lord, what is man, that thou haft fuch respect unto bim ; or the fon of man, that thou fo regardeft him? Pf. cxliv. 3. The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance. Pfalm cxi. 4.

ever fince the reign of King Charles I. for that day on purpofe. It is true, after the death of that prince, this pious cuftom received a long and doleful interruption, which changed the day, on which King Charles the Second fucceeded to the crown, into a day of forrow and fafting. And indeed a great part of the duty of that day, and the devotions proper to it, were performed in the fervice for the twenty-ninth of May. However, upon King James IId's Acceffion, the former laudable and religious practice was immediately revived; a Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving having been composed by the Bishops for this purpose, in many things agreeing with this we now ufe. But in the reign of King William the Inauguration feftival was again difufed: and it must be owned there was fo much the lefs occafion for it during his reign, as there were large additions made to the Form of Thanksgiving appointed for the Fifth of November, to commemorate his arrival, which happened on that day. However, when Queen Anne fucceeded to the throne, there was freth occafion to revive the festival. And therefore the day was again ordered to be obferved, and a Form of Prayer with Thanksgiving drawn up, part of it being taken from King James's office, and part of it being compofed entirely new; and is, altogether, the fame (except the firft leflon) with the prefent office. The names of the Royal Family having been altered as occafions required-Wheatley.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnefs: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! Pfalm cvii. 21.

Behold, O God our Defender: andlook upon the face. of thine Anointed. Pfalm lxxxiv. 9.

O bold thou up his goings in thy paths: that his footsteps flip not. Pfalm xvii. 5.

Grant the King a long life: and make him glad with the joy of thy countenance. Pfalm lxi. 6; and xxi. 6.

Let bim dwell before thee for ever: O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preferve him. P. lxi. 7. In his time let the righteous flourish: and let peace be in all our borders. Pfalm lxxii. 7; and cxlvii. 14.

As for his enemies, clothe them with shame: but upon himfelf let his crown flourish. Pfalm cxxxii. 19.

Bleffed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel : which only doeth wondrous things. Pfalm lxxii. 18.

And bleed be the Name of his Majefty for ever: and all the earth fhall be filled with his Majefty. Amen, Amen.
