And. then he shall say that which is written after the said Sentences. WHEN the wicked man tumeth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Ezek. xviii. 27. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us : but, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to for- give us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 St. John i 8, 9. DEARLY beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness ; and that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Pather; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart ; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infiuite goodness and mercy. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pura hearty and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, aaying after me ; ST. GEORGE'S SOCIETY. IT A general Confession to he said of the whole Congre'ja-^ tion after the Ministery all kntelitKj. ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father ; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like loBt sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done ; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Kestore thou them that are penitent ; According to thy promises, . declared imto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, most merciful Father, for his sake ; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of Thy holy Name. Amen, \ IT The Absolution f or Remission of sins, to be pronounced' by the Priest alone, standing; the people still kneeling. ALMIGHTY God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness, and live; and hath given power, and commandment, to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the Absolution and Remission of their sins : He pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true re()entunce, and his Holy Spirit, that those things may please him, which we do at this present ; and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pare, and holy ; so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus- Christ our Lord. Amen.
