with the truth of thy doctrine, and endue him with innocency of life, that he may ever faithfully serve before Thee, to the glory of thy Name, the benefit of thy church, and the salvation of our souls, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

After the Minister has received the Communion in both kinds, and is proceeding to deliver the same to the Congregation, lift up your heart to God in the following Prayer, immediately before you go to the Table.

Almighty God, by whose mercy I am permitted to commemorate my redemption by our Lord Jesus Christ, accept, I pray Thee, of this memorial which I now make before Thee of that all-sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction, which thy Son our Savior, Jesus Christ, made the cross; and let it be the means of imparting strength, and refreshment to my soul. Thou hast mercifully promised

upon

that him, who cometh unto Thee, Thou wilt in no wise cast out; Unto Thee, O Lord, I come, weary and heavy-laden with the burden of my sins. Forgive, the many and great offences which I have committed; cleanse and strengthen my heart by the influence of thy Holy Spirit; and make me an acceptable guest at thy table, by enabling me to approach it with a stedfast and lively faith, with a deep and earnest repentance, and with a fervent charity towards all mankind. Grant that I may receive the full benefit of that atonement, which Thou hast made for me by thy precious blood; and that, walking henceforth in the way of thy commandments, I may be prepared to meet Thee with joy, when Thou comest in the glory of thy Father; to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end.

Immediately before receiving the Bread, repeat this

Prayer.

Grant me, O Lord, that portion of thy grace, which may feed my soul unto life everlasting; and so effectually impart to me the assistance of thy Holy Spirit that I may never render myself unworthy to receive so great a blessing, or deprive myself of it by mine own neglect and unworthiness. Refresh and recruit my soul with this spiritual food; and so strengthen me continually with thy grace, that neither in life nor death I may depart from Thee, or be deprived at any time of thy heavenly benediction; who livest and reignest, with God the Father and the Holy Ghost, to all eternity.

When the Minister delivereth the Bread,
he shall say,

The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.*—

Say softly AMEN; for here it is most proper, and here, therefore, it was formerly placed.

Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee, and feed on him in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving. Immediately after having received the Bread, say,

Do Thou, blessed Lord, who art the bread of life, and who hast now vouchsafed to be my spiritual food, nourish my soul to eternal life; create in me a hunger after righteousness; instil into my weak and languishing soul new supplies of thy grace, new life, new vigor, and new resolutions, that I may never faint in the discharge of my duties, or in the per formance of thy commands.

Immediatly before receiving the Cup, let this
Prayer be used.

O merciful God, grant that this cup, which I am now about to receive, may be unto me a cup of blessing, Sprinkle me with the blood of the ever-blessed Jesus, that my soul being cleansed from all corruptions, I may ever hereafter serve thee, in holiness, and true righteousness.

When the Miniter delivereth the Cup, he shall say.

The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.*Drink this in remembrance that Christ's Blood was shed for thee, and be thankful.

Immediately after having received the Cup, say,

and

Do thou, gracious Lord, who art the true vine, and who by thy precious death hast paid the debt due to the divine justice, and hast delivered me from the power of the destroyer, grant that the remembrance of thy kindness may be ever seasonably present with me; so cleanse me by thy blood from all my sins, that I may evermore dwell in Thee and Thou in me, and after this life spent in a constant obedience to thy commands, I may, at the last day, appear without spot before Thee, and be permitted to sit down at thy table, in the kingdom of heaven.

* Here say softly AMEN.
