MOST mighty God, and merciful Father, who hast compassion upon all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made ; who wouldest not the deau of a sin- ner, but that he should rather turn from his sin, and be saved ; Mercifully forgive us our trespasses ; receive and comfort us, who are grieved and wearied with the burden of our sins. Thy property is always to have mercy ; to Thee only it appertaineth to forgive sins. Spare us therefore, good Lord, spare Thy people, whom thou hast redeemed ; enter not into judgement with Thy servams, who are vile earth, and miserable sinners ; but so turn Thine anger from us, who meekly acknowledge ourvile- ness, and truly repent us of our faults, and so make haste to I \ 8 MORNING PRAYER. to help us in thig world, that wc may ever live with Thee in the world to come ; through J€,?U8 Christ '^ur Lord.
