The Prayer.
O Blessed I••s••, in whose garment was variety but no rent or seame, have mercy upon thy holy Catholike Church, and all Christian King∣domes and Families; and so unite all our hearts and affections by the union of Faith and Charity, that we be not torne into Factions and Schismes, but being anointed with the precious ointment, even the anointing of thy Spirit from above, we may keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; and grant that this holy ointment may so knit together the Guides of thy Church, the Ru∣lers of Kingdomes, the Princes of the Nations, that the blessings of it may descend to the skirts of the people, and that thou mayest blesse us with thy graces here and hereafter, give us life for evermore in the participation of thy glorious Kingdome, where thou livest and reignest ever one God, world without end. Amen.
