Sermon.

ing your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the King, as supreme; or unto governours, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-¶ In the Offertory shall this Sentence be doers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the willET your light so shine beof God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the King.

A Prayer for Unity.

God the Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, the Prince of Peace; Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly Union and Concord: that, as there is but one Body, and one Spirit, and one Hope of our Calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may henceforth be all of one heart, and of one soul, united in one holy bond of Truth and Peace, of Faith

and Charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

GR

RANT, O Lord, we beseech thee, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy governance, that thy Church may joyfully serve thee in all godly quietness, through

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

GRANT, we beseech thee,

Almighty God, that the words, which we have heard this day with our outward ears, may through thy grace be so grafted inwardly in our hearts, that they may bring forth in us the fruit of good living, to the honour and praise of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ALMIGHTY God, the foun

tain of all wisdom, who knowest our necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking; We beseech thee to have compassion upon

upon our infirmities; and those things, which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, thiness of thy Son Jesus Christ vouchsafe to give us for the wor

our Lord. Amen.

THE peace of God which

passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.
