And lead us not into Temp- tation, but deliver us from Evil : For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Q. What do you desire of God in this Prayer ? A.

And this I trust he will do of his Mercy and Goodness, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore I say Amen ; So be it. HOW many Sacraments hath 16 Christ ordained In his Church ? A. Two only as generally ne- cessary to Salvation ; that is to say, I^aptism and the Supper of the Lord. Q. What do you mean by this Word Sacrament ? A.
