Let us Pray.

ALmighty God, Father of mercies, the God of peace and comfort, of rest and pardon, we thy servants though unworthy to pray to thee, yet in duty to thee and charity to our brother, humbly beg mercy of thee for him, to descend upon his body and his soul; One sinner, O Lord, for another, the miserable for the afflicted, the poor for him that is in need; but thou givest thy graces and thy favours by the measures of thy own mer∣cies, and in proportion to our necessities; we humbly come to thee in the Name of Jesus, for the merit of our Saviour, and the mercies of our God, praying thee to pardon the sins of this thy servant, and to put them all upon the accounts of the Crosse, and to bury them in the grave of Jesus, that they may never rise up in judgement against thy servant, nor bring him to shame and confusion of face in the day of finall inquiry and sentence. Amen.
