Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: and grant that all they that do con∣fess thy holy Name, may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity and god∣ly love. We beseech thee also to save and de∣fend all Christian Kings, Princes, and Go∣vernors; and especially thy Servant JAMES our King, that under him we may be godly and quietly governed: And grant unto his whole Council, and to all that are put in au∣thority under him, that they may truly and indifferently minister justice to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the main∣tenance of thy true religion and vertue. Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and Curates (more particularly to those under whose care thou hast placed us,) that they may both by their life and doctrine set forth thy true and lively word, and rightly and duly admini∣ster thy holy Sacraments: And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace; and especially to us here present that with meek heart and due reverence we may ever hear and receive thy holy word, truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life. And we most humbly beseech thee of thy good∣ness, O Lord, to comfort and succour [all them, who in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow,

need, sickness or any other adversity.] And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy ser∣vants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to give us Grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly Kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christs sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
