 ^ Lei him thai Ministereth, read with a loud voice these Sentences of Scripture ; and 
 after them the Exhortation, Dearly Beloved Brethren, &fc. 
 
 TO the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, thongh we 
 have rebelled against him: neither have we obeyed the voice of 
 the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us. 
 
 In my trouble I will call upon the Lord, and complain unto my God. 
 So shall He hear my voice out of His holy temple; my complaint shall 
 come before Him. 
 
 ^ Instead of the Venite Exultemus. 
 
 HEAR our Prayer, O God : and hide not thyself from our 
 Petition. 
 Take heed unto us, and hear us: how we mourn in our Prayer, and 
 are vexed. 
 
 Unto Thee will I cry, Lord, my strength: think no scorn of me, lest 
 if Thou make as though Thou hearest not, I become like them that go 
 down into the Pit. 
 
 Turn thee, Lord, and deliver my soul : O save me for thy mercies* 
 
 Nevertheless though I am sometime afraid: yet put I my trust in God. 
 
 He verily is our strength and our salvation: He is our defence, so that 
 we shall not greatly fall. 
 
 O put your trust in Him alway, ye people : pour out your hearts before 
 Him, for God is our hope. • 
 
 As for the children of men, they are but vanity : the children of men are 
 deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighi^er than vanity itself. 
 
4 Morning Prayer. 
 
 trust not in wrong and robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity : if 
 riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 
 
 Be Thou, O God, our help in trouble : for vain is the help of man. 
 
 Deliver, Thou, our souls from death, and our feet from falling: that we 
 may walk before thee in the light of the living. 
 
 Go not far from me, O God : my God, haste Thee to help me. 
 
 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: 
 
 As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without 
 end, Amen.

 ^ This Collect to be used, instead of the Collect of the day, 
 
 ©LORD, most good and powerful, we, Thy sinful people, here 
 assembled before Thee, acknowledge it to be of Thine unspeakable 
 mercy, that for our manifold and heinous provocations, we are not utterly 
 consumed, and given over for a prey to the fury of our enemies, or other 
 scourge of Thine avenging hand. We confess, with sorrow and confusion, 
 our long unfruitfulness, under the means of grace, the light of Thy Gospel, 
 and the many wonderful deliverances, which Thou, in Thy great goodness, 
 hast vouchsafed unto us. Lord, shouldst thou enter into judgment with 
 us for our sins, for our profaneness and infidelity, our heresies and schisms, 
 our exclusive pursuit of the business, or inordinate love, of the pleasures 
 of the world, our forgetfulness alike of Thy past judgments and mercies, 
 and our other numberless offences, Thou mightest justly inflict upon us the 
 severity of Thy wrath, and visit us with renewed and heavier calamities. 
 But there is mercy with Thee, therefore shalt Thou be feared : Thou art 
 the Lord God, tender and full of compassion, not willing that any should

 perish, but that all should repent and Uve. Look down, therefore, we 
 beseech Thee, with an eye of pity, and loving-kindness, upon Thy ser- 
 vants, who, with contrite hearts, here bewail their transgressions, and their 
 wretchedness. Let us, in this time of trouble, still enjoy the light of Thy 
 countenance, and the blessing of Thy bountiful hand ; and so work upon 
 our hearts and minds, by the influences of Thy Holy Spirit, that being 
 turned from the error of our ways, and created to newness of life, we 
 may walk before Thee, in righteousness and holiness, in this world, and 
 inherit Thine everlasting Kingdom, in that which is to come, through the 
 merits of Jesus Christ, our only mediator, and advocate. Amen. 
 
 ^ Then shall follow the Second and Third Collects at Morning Prayer ^ and 
 
 after these the Litany, 
 
 ^ The Prayer ** In time of War and Tumults," (which shall always be used during the 
 continuance of the present troubles)^ shall be used in its proper place, after whichf 
 and immediately before the General Thanksgiving, the People shall say the two 
 following Prayers, after the Minister : 
 
 TURN Thou us, good Lord, and so shall we be turned. Be 
 favourable, O Lord, be favourable to Thy People, who turn to 
 Thee in weeping, fasting, and praying. For Thou art a merciful God, 
 full of compassion, long-suffering, and of great pity. Thou sparest, when 
 we deserve punishment ; and, in Thy wrath. Thou thinkest upon mercy. 
 Spare Thy People, good Lord, spare them, and let not Thine heritage 
 be brought to confusion. Hear us, O Lord, for Thy mercy is great, 
 'and after the multitude of Thy mercies look upon us, through the merits 
 and mediation of Thy Blessed Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 
 O ALMIGHTY Lord, and Everlasting Father, who, in the Gracious 
 exercise of Thy providential government, hast been pleased to grant 
 to the Counsels and the Arms of our Sovereign, a recent instance of most 
 signal and unexampled success ; and hast checked the designs of ungodly 
 men, in a daring attempt to disturb the peace of this Province : accept 
 for these, and all Thy other Mercies, the tribute of our unfeigned thank- 
 fulness and praise. We humbly and devoutly acknowledge that we owe

 this, and every other good, entirely to the overflowing abundance of Thy 
 free and unmerited kindness. To Thee therefore, virith one accord of 
 heart and voice, we ascribe all the glory : we laud and magnify and extol 
 Thy great and adorable Name. And while, humbly prostrate before Thy 
 Throne, we express in this public manner our gratitude with our lips, 
 give us grace that we may feel it deeply in our hearts, and display it out- 
 wardl}> in our lives. Grant that as we further experience both in public 
 and in private the Blessings of Thy protecting providence, we may ever rise 
 in our feelings of devout affection towards Thee, of zeal for Thy Glory, 
 and reverence for Thy Holy Name, and may grow in all those Graces 
 which adorn the true Christian character. These praises and prayers we 
 humbly offer up to Thy Divine Majesty, in the Name, and through the 
 mediation, of our only Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen. 
 
 The Communion Service. 
 
 ^ After the Prayer for the Q^uecn, and the Lieutenant Governor^ shall be read the 
 
 Colltct which here folloivcth : 
 
 O ALMIGHTY God, who rulest over all the Nations of the Earth, 
 and on whose gracious Providence they depend evermore for pre- 
 servation and prosperity; extend, we beseech Thee, Thine accustomed 
 goodness to the people of these Provinces ; who, looking up to Thee, as 
 the Author of all Blessings, and their sure Safeguard and mighty Deliverer 
 in all dangers and difficulties, do now implore Thy watchful care and 
 protection. O Lord, Thou hast before wonderfully delivered us: if Thou 
 fiadst not been on our side when men rose up against us, they would have 
 swallowed us up : continue Thy mercy and cast not out the prayer of 
 Thy people who call upon Thee. Defeat the counsel of the wicked ; 
 open the eyes of the deluded ; strengthen the hands of our defenders ; 
 grant to our Rulers a spirit of wisdom and firmness, and give to them and 
 to all of us a spirit of faith and prayer. Stretch forth the right hand of 
 Thy Majesty to save and defend us from the evils with which we are 
 threatened. But if, in Thy wisdom. Thou hast ordained that they should

 visit us, give us grace that we may humbly and patiently submit to Thy 
 correction, and, after having been exercised thereby, may hring forth the 
 peaceable fruits of Righteousness, to the praise and glory of Thy Name, 
 through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen, 
 
 ^ Then shall follow^ for the Epistle, Isaiah Iviil. v. 1, to the words "here I am,'* 
 
 inclusive in Verse 9. 
 
 CRY aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my 
 people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet 
 they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did 
 righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God : they ask of 
 me the ordinances of justice; they take deUght in approaching to God. 
 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and Thou seest not? Wherefore 
 have we afflicted our soul, and Thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in 
 the day of your fast, ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Behold, 
 ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye 
 shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 
 Is it such a fast that I have chosen I a day for a man to afflict his soul 1 
 is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes 
 under himi wilt thcu call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord I 
 Is not this the fast that I have chosen 1 to loose the bands of wickedness, 
 to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye 
 break every yokel Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that 
 thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest 
 the naked, that thou cover him : and that thou hide not thyself from 
 thine own flesh ? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and 
 thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall, go 
 before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward. Then shalt 
 thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, 
 Here I am. 
 
 The Gospel. Matthew iii. ver. 1 to ver. 11. 
 
 IN those days came >John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of 
 Judea, and saying, Repent ye : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
 For this is he that^vas spoken of by the Prophet Esaias, saying, the voice

 of one crying in t^e wilderness, prepare ve the way of the Lord, make 
 His paths straight. And the same John had his raiment of Camel's hair, 
 and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild 
 honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and alJ the region 
 round about Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing tlieir 
 sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his 
 Baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you 
 to flee from the wrath to come 1 Bring forth therefoi-e fruits meet for re- 
 pentance : And think not to say within yourselves, we have Aoraham to 
 our father : for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up 
 children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the 
 trees : therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 
 down, and cast into the fire.
