¶ An Order for Morning Prayer to be vsed the 27. of March . 1. Tim. 2. vers. 1.

I Exhort you therefore , that first of all , prayers , supplications , intercessions , and giuing of thankes bee made for all men : for Princes , and for all that are in authoritie , that wee may liue a quiet and peaceable life , in all godlinesse and honesty , for that is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour .

¶ You shall vnderstand , that euery thing in this Booke is placed in order , as it shal be vsed , without turning to and fro , sauing the two Lessons taken out of the olde Testament , of which you may chuse either , as you thinke best , for the first lesson at this morning prayer . And in Cathedrall Churches , the Minister may vse either of the other two , for the first Lesson at Euening prayer . ¶ First , the Minister shall with a loud voyce pronounce some one of these three Sentences , as in the Booke of common Prayer .

Ezech. 18. AT what time soeuer a sinner doth repent him of his sinne from the bottome of his heart , I will put all his wickednesse out of my remembrance , saith the Lord .

Ioel 2. Rent your hearts , and not your garments , and turne to the Lord your God , because hee is gentle and mercifull , he is patient , and of much mercie , and such a one that is sorie for your afflictions .

If we say that we haue no sinne , we deceiue our selues , and there is no trueth in vs .

DEarely beloued brethren , the scripture moueth vs in sundry places , to acknowledge and confesse our manifolde sinnes and wickednesse , and that we should not dissemble nor cloke them before the face of Almightie God our heauenly Father , but confesse them with an humble , lowly , penitent , and obedient heart , to the end that wee may obtaine forgiuenesse of the same , by his infinite goodnesse and mercy . And although wee ought at al times humbly to acknowledge our sinnes before God , yet ought we most chiefly so to doe when wee assemble and meete together , to render thankes for the great benefits that wee haue receiued at his hands , to set forth his most worthy praise , to heare his most holy word , & to aske those things which be requisite and necessary , as well for the body as the soule . Wherefore I pray and beseech you as many as bee here present , to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voyce , vnto the throne of the heauenly grace , saying after me .

A generall Confession to bee said of the whole Congregation after the Minister , kneeling .

ALmighty and most mercifull Father , wee haue erred & strayed from thy wayes like lost sheepe , wee haue followed too much the deuices and desires of our owne hearts . We haue offended against thy holy Lawes . We haue left vndone those things which we ought to haue done , and wee haue done those things which wee ought not to haue done , and there is no health in vs , but thou , O Lord , haue mercy vpon vs miserable offenders . Spare thou them , O God , which confesse their faults , restore thou them that be penitent , according to thy promises declared vnto mankinde in Christ Iesu our Lord . And grant , O most merciful Father , for his sake , that we may hereafter liue a godly , righteous , and sober life , to the glory of thy holy Name . Amen .

The absolution or remission of sinnes to bee pronounced by the Priest alone .

ALmighty God , the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ , which desireth not the death of a sinner , but rather that he may turne from his wickednes and liue , and hath giuen power and commandement to his ministers , to declare and pronounce to his people , being penitent , the absolution and remission of their sinnes : he pardoneth and absolueth all them which truely repent , and vnfainedly beleeue his holy Gospel . Wherefore we beseech him to grant vs true repentance and his holy Spirit , that those things may please him which wee doe at this present , and that the rest of our life hereafter may bee pure and holy , so that at the last we may come to his eternall ioy , through Iesus Christ our Lord .

The people shall answere ,

Amen .

¶ Then shall the Minister begin the Lords Prayer with a lowd voyce .

OUr Father which art in heauen , hallowed be thy Name . Thy kingdome come . Thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen . Giue vs this day our dayly bread . And forgiue vs our trespasses , as we forgiue them that trespasse against vs . And leade vs not into temptation : But deliuer vs from euill , Amen .

Then likewise he shall say :

O Lord open thou our lips .

Answere .

And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise .

Minister .

O God make speede to saue vs .

Answere .

O Lord make haste to helpe vs .

Minister .

Glory be to the Father , and to the Sonne : and to the holy Ghost .

As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer shal bee : world without end , Amen .

¶ Praise ye the Lord .

Then shall be sayd or sung this Psalme following .

O Come , let vs sing vnto the Lord : let vs heartily reioyce in the strength of our saluation .

Let vs come before his presence with thankesgiuing : and shew our selues glad in him with Psalmes .

For the Lord is a great God : and a great King aboue all gods .

In his hand are all the corners of the earth : and she strength of the hils is his also .

The Sea is his , and he made it : and his hands prepared the dry land .

O come , let vs worship , and fall downe : and kneele before the Lord our maker .

For he is the Lord our God : and we are the people of his pasture , and the sheepe of his hands .

To day if yee will heare his voyce , harden not your hearts : as in the prouocation , and as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse .

When your fathers tempted me : proued me , and saw my workes .

Fourty yeeres long was I greeued with this generation , and said : It is a people that doe erre in their hearts , for they haue not knowen my wayes .

Unto whom I sware in my wrath : that they should not enter into my rest .

Glory be to the Father , &c.

As it was in the beginning , &c.

Exaudiat te Dominus . Psal. 20.

THe Lord heare thee in the day of trouble : the Name of the God of Iacob defend thee .

Send thee helpe from the Sanctuary : and strengthen thee out of Sion .

Remember all thy offerings : and accept thy burnt sacrifice .

Grant thee thy hearts desire : and small all thy minde .

Wee will reioyce in thy saluation , and tryumph in the name of the Lord our God : the Lord performe all thy petitions .

Now know I that the Lord helpeth his anointed , and will heare him from his holy heauen : euen with the wholesome strength of his right hand .

Some put their trust in charets , and some in horses : but wee will remember the Name of the Lord our God .

They are brought downe and fallen : but we are risen , and stand vpright .

Saue Lord , and heare vs , O King of heauen : when we call vpon thee .

Domine in virtute . Psal. 21.

THe King shall reioyce in thy strength , O Lord : exceeding glad shall he be of thy saluation .

Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire : and hast not denied him the request of his lips .

For thou shalt preuent him with the blessings of goodnesse : and shalt set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head .

He asked life of thee , and thou gauest him a long life : euen for euer and euer .

His honour is great in thy saluation : glory and great worship shalt thou lay vpon him .

For thou shalt giue him euerlasting felicitie : and make him glad with the ioy of thy countenance .

And why ? because the king putteth his trust in the Lord : and in the mercie of the most highest , he shall not miscarie .

All thine enemies shall feele thy hand : thy right hand shall finde out them that hate thee .

Thou shalt make them like a fierie ouen in time of thy wrath : the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure , and the fire shall consume them .

Their fruit shalt thou roote out of the earth : and their seede from among the children of men .

For they intended mischiefe against thee : and imagined such a deuice as they are not able to performe .

Therefore shalt thou put them to flight : and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them .

Be thou exalted Lord in thine owne strength : so will we sing and prayse thy power .

Benedixisti Domine . Psal. 85.

LOrd , thou art become gracious vnto thy land : thou hast turned away the captiuity of Iacob .

Thou hast forgiuen the offence of thy people : and couered all their sinnes .

Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure : and turned thy selfe from thy wrathfull indignation .

Turne vs then O God our Sauiour : and let thine anger cease from vs .

Wilt thou be displeased at vs for euer : and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another ?

Wilt thou not turne againe , and quicken vs : that thy people may reioyce in thee ?

Shew vs thy mercy , O Lord : and graunt vs thy saluation .

I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me : for he will speake peace vnto his people , and to his saints , that they turne not againe .

For his saluation is nigh them that feare him : that glory may dwell in our land .

Mercy and trueth are met together : righteousnesse and peace haue kissed each other .

Trueth shall flourish out of the earth : and righteousnesse hath looked downe from heauen .

Yea , the Lord shall shew louing kindnesse : and our land shall giue her increase .

Righteousnesse shall goe before him : and he shall direct his going in the way .

Confitemini Domino . Psal. 118.

O Giue thankes vnto the Lord , for hee is gracious : because his mercy endureth for euer .

Let Israel now confesse , that hee is gracious : and that his mercy endureth for euer .

Let the house of Aaron now confesse : that his mercy endureth for euer .

Yea , let them now that feare the Lord , confesse : that his mercy endureth for euer .

I called vpon the Lord in trouble : and the Lord heard me at large .

The Lord is on my side : I will not feare what man doeth vnto me .

The Lord taketh my part with them that helpe mee : therefore shall I see my desire vpon mine enemies .

It is better to trust in the Lord : then to put any confidence in man .

It is better to trust in the Lord : then to put any confidence in princes .

All Nations compassed me round about : but in the Name of the Lord will I destroy them .

They kept me in on euery side , they kept mee in ( I say ) on euery side : but in the Name of the Lord will I destroy them .

They came about me like Bees , and are extinct , euen as the fire among the thornes : for in the Name of the Lord will I destroy them .

Thou hast thrust sore at me , that I might fall : but the Lord was my helpe .

The Lord is my strength and my song : and is become my saluation .

The voyce of ioy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous : the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to passe .

The right hand of the Lord hath the preeminence : the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to passe .

I will not die , but liue : and declare the workes of the Lord .

The Lord hath chastened and corrected me : but he hath not giuen me ouer vnto death .

Open me the gates of righteousnes : that I may goe into them , and giue thankes vnto the Lord .

This is the gate of the Lord : the righteous shall enter into it .

I will thanke thee , for thou hast heard mee : and art become my saluation .

The same stone which the builders refused : is become the head stone of the corner .

This is the Lords doing : and it is marueilous in our eyes .

This is the day which the Lord hath made : wee will reioyce and be glad in it .

Helpe mee now , O Lord : O Lord send vs now prosperity .

Blessed bee he that commeth in the Name of the Lord : we haue wished you good lucke , yee that bee of the house of the Lord .

God is the Lord which hath shewed vs light : binde the sacrifice with cords , yea , euen vnto the hornes of the Altar .

Thou art my God , and I will thanke thee : thou art my God , and I will praise thee .

O giue thankes vnto the Lord , for hee is gracious : and his mercy endureth for euer .

¶ For the first Lesson is appointed to be read the first Chapter of the Booke of Iosuah .

AFter the death of Moses the seruant of the Lord , it came to passe that the Lord , spake vnto Iosuah the sonne of Nun , Moses minister , saying , Moses my seruant is dead : now therefore arise , goe ouer this Iordane , thou , and all this people , vnto the land the which I to them the children of Israel doe giue . All the places that the soles of your feete shall tread vpon , haue I giuen you , as I sayd vnto Moses . From the wildernesse and this Lebanon , vnto the great riuer Euphrates , all the land of the Hittites , euen vnto the great sea , toward the going downe of the Sunne , shal be your coast . There shall not a man be able to with stand thee , all the dayes of thy life : for as I was with Moses , so will I be with thee , and will not fayle thee , nor forsake thee . Be strong therefore , and bold : for vnto this people shalt thou diuide the land for inheritance , which I sware vnto their fathers to giue them , Onely bee thou strong , and of a stout courage , that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all the law which Moses my seruant commanded thee : turne from the same neither to the right hand , nor to the left , that thou mayest doe wisely in all that thou takest in hand . Let not the Booke of this Law depart out of thy mouth , but occupie thy minde therein day and night , that thou mayest obserue and do according to all that is written therein : for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous , and then thou shalt doe wisely . Haue not I commaunded thee , that thou shouldest bee strong and hardy , and not feare nor bee faint hearted ? for I the Lord thy God am with thee , whithersoeuer thou goest . Then Iosuah commanded the officers of the people , saying , Goe through the middest of the hoste , and command the people , saying , Prepare your victuals : for after three dayes yee shall passe ouer this Iordane to goe in , and enioy the land which the Lord your God giueth you to possesse it . And vnto the Reubenites , Gadites , and halfe the tribe of Manasses , spake Iosuah saying , Remember the word which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you , saying , The Lord your God hath giuen you rest , and hath giuen you this land . Your wiues , your children , and your cattell , shall remaine in the land which Moses gaue you on this side Iordane : but ye shall goe before your brethren armed , all that bee men of warre , and helpe them , vntill the Lord haue giuen your brethren rest , as hee hath you , and vntill they also haue obtained the land which the Lord your GOD giueth them : and then shall yee returne vnto the land of your possession , and enioy it , which land Moses the Lords seruant gaue you on this side Iordan toward the Sun rising . And they answered Iosuah , saying , All that thou hast commanded vs , wee will doe , and whithersoeuer thou sendest vs , we will goe . According as we obeyed Moses in all things , so will wee obey thee : onely the Lord thy God bee with thee , as he was with Moses . And whosoeuer he be that doth disobey thy mouth , and will not hearken vnto thy words in all that thou commandest him , let him die : onely be strong , and of good courage ,

The first Chapter of the second Booke of the Chronicles .

Or this may bee the first Lesson . AND Solomon the Sonne of Dauid waxed strong in his kingdome , and the Lord his God was with him , and magnifyed him in dignity . And Solomon spake vnto all Israel , to the Captaines ouer thousands , to the Captaines ouer hundreds , to the Iudges , and to euery Officer in all Israel , and to the ancient fathers . And so Solomon , and all the Congregation with him , went to the high place that was at Gibeon : for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God , which Moses the seruant of the Lord made in the wildernes . But the Arke of God had Dauid brought from Kiriath-iarim , into the place which Dauid had made therefore : for hee had pitched a tent for it at Hierusalem . Moreouer , the brasen Altar that Bezaleel the sonne of Vri , the sonne of Hur had made , was there before the Tabernacle of the Lord , and Solomon and the Congregation went to visit it . And Solomon went vp there before the Lord , to the brazen Altar that was before the Tabernacle of the Congregation , and offered a thousand whole burnt offerings vpon it . And the same night did God appeare vnto Solomon , and sayd vnto him , Aske what I shal giue thee . And Solomon said vnto God , Thou hast shewed great mercy vnto Dauid my father , and hast made mee to reigne in his stead . Now therefore O Lord God , let thy promise , which thou madest vnto Dauid my father , be true : for thou hast made me king ouer a people which is like the dust of the earth in multitude : Giue mee now wisedome and knowledge , that I may be able to go in and out before this people : for who els can iudge this people that is so great ? And God said to Solomon , Because this was in thine heart , and because thou hast not asked treasure , and riches , nor honour , nor the liues of thine enemies , neither yet long life , but hast asked wisdome & knowledge for thy self , to iudge my people , ouer whom I haue made thee king : Wisedome and knowledge is granted vnto thee , and I will giue thee treasure , and riches , and glory : so that among the kings that haue beene before thee , or after thee , none was or shal be like thee . And so Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon , to Hierusalem , from the Tabernacle of the Congregation , and reigned ouer Israel . And Solomon gathered charets , & horsemen : and he had a thousand and foure hundred charets , and twelue thousand horsemen , whom he bestowed in the charet cities , and with the King at Hierusalem . And the King made siluer and gold at Hierusalem , as plenteous as stones , & Cedar trees made he as plenteous as the mulbery trees that grow in the valleyes . Also Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt , and fine linnen : the kings marchants receiued the fine linnen for a price . They came also , and brought out of Egypt , a charet for sixe hundred pieces of siluer , euen an horse for an hundred and fifty : and so brought they horses for al the kings of the Hittites , and for the kings of Syria , by their owne hand .

Te Deum laudamus .

WEe praise thee , O God : we knowledge thee to be the Lord .

All the earth doeth worship thee : the Father euerlasting .

To thee all Angels cry alowde : the heauens , and all the powers therein .

To thee Cherubin and Seraphin : continually doe cry .

Holy , holy , holy : Lord God of Sabaoth .

Heauen and earth are full of the Maiestie : of thy glory .

The glorious company of the Apostles : praise thee .

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets : praise thee .

The noble armie of Martyrs : praise thee .

The holy Church thoughout all the world : doeth knowledge thee .

The Father : of an infinite Maiestie .

Thy honourable , true : and onely Sonne .

Also the holy Ghost : the Comforter .

Thou art the King of glory : O Christ .

Thou art the euerlasting Sonne : of the Father .

When thou tookest vpon thee to deliuer man : thou diddest not abhorre the Virgins wombe .

When thou haddest ouercome the sharpenesse of death : thou diddest open the kingdome of heauen to all beleeuers .

Thou sittest on the right hand of God : in the glory of the Father .

We beleeue that thou shalt come : to be our Iudge .

We therefore pray thee helpe thy seruants : whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood .

Make them to bee numbred with thy Saints : in glory euerlasting .

O Lord saue thy people : and blesse thine heritage .

Gouerne them : and lift them vp for euer .

Day by day : we magnifie thee .

And wee worship thy Name : euer world without ende .

Uouchsafe , O Lord : to keepe vs this day without sinne .

O Lord haue mercy vpon vs : haue mercy vpon vs .

O Lord let thy mercie lighten vpon vs : as our trust is in thee .

O Lord in thee haue I trusted : let me neuer be confounded .

The second Lesson , taken out of the Epistle of S. Paul to the Romanes , the thirteenth Chapter .

LEt euery soule bee subiect vnto the higher powers : for there is no power but of God : and the powers that bee , are ordeined of God . Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power , resisteth the ordinance of God : and they that resist shall receiue to themselues iudgement . For Princes are not to bee feared for good workes , but for euill . Wilt thou then be without feare of the power ? do wel : so shalt thou haue praise of the same . For hee is the minister of God for thy wealth : but if thou do euil , feare : for he beareth not the sword for nought : for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth euill . Wherefore ye must be subiect , not because of wrath onely , but also for conscience sake . For , for this cause yee pay also tribute : for they are Gods ministers , applying themselues for the same thing .

Giue to all men therefore their duetie , tribute , to whom ye o we tribute : custome , to whom custome : feare , to whom feare : honour , to whom ye o we honour . O we nothing to any man , but to loue one another : for he that loueth another , hath fulfilled the Law . For this , Thou shalt not commit adultery , Thou shalt not kill , Thou shalt not steale , Thou shalt not beare false witnes , Thou shalt not couet : and if there be any other Commandement , it is briefly comprehended in this saying , euen in this , Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe .

Loue doth not euill to his neighbour : therefore is loue the fulfilling of the Law .

And that , considering the season , that it is now time that wee should arise from sleepe : for now is our saluation neerer , then when wee beleeued it . The night is past , and the day is at hand : let vs therefore cast away the workes of darkenesse , and let vs put on the armour of light . So that wee walke honestly , as in the day : not in gluttony , and drunkennesse , neither in chambering and wantonnesse , nor in strife and enuying : But put yee on the Lord Iesus Christ , and take no thought for the flesh , to fulfill the lusts of it .

After the second Lesson , shall be vsed and said , Benedictus in English , as followeth .

BLessed be the Lord God of Israel : for hee hath visited and redeemed his people .

And hath raised vp a mighty saluation for vs : in the house of his seruant Dauid .

As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets : which haue been since the world began .

That we should be saued from our enemies : and from the hands of all that hate vs .

To performe the mercie promised to our forefathers : and to remember his holy Couenant .

To performe the oath which hee sware to our forefather Abraham : that he would giue vs .

That we being deliuered out of the hands of our enemies : might serue him without feare .

In holinesse and righteousnes before him : all the dayes of our life .

And thou Childe shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest : for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord to prepare his wayes .

To giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people : for the remission of their sinnes .

Through the tender mercie of our God : whereby the day spring from an high hath visited vs .

To giue light to them that sit in darkenesse , and in the shadow of death : and to guide our feete into the way of peace .

Glory be to the Father , and to the Sonne : and to the holy Ghost .

As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer shal be : world without end . Amen .

Or this C. Psalme .

O Be ioyfull in the Lord all yee lands : serue the Lord with gladnesse , and come before his presence with a song .

Bee ye sure that the Lord he is God , it is hee that hath made vs , and not wee our selues : wee are his people , and the sheepe of his pasture .

O goe your way into his gates with thankesgiuing , and into his courts with praise : be thankeful vnto him , and speake good of his Name .

For the Lord is gracious , his mercie is euerlasting : and his trueth endureth from generation to generation .

Glory be to the Father , and to the Sonne : and to the holy Ghost .

As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer shall be : world without end . Amen .

I Beleeue in God the Father Almighty , maker of heauen and earth . And in Iesus Christ his onely Sonne our Lord , which was conceiued by the holy Ghost , borne of the virgin Mary , suffered vnder Ponce Pilate , was crucified , dead , and buried , hee descended into hell , the third day hee rose againe from the dead , he ascended into heauen , and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty , from thence shall hee come to iudge the quicke and the dead . I beleeue in the holy Ghost , the holy Catholike Church , the communion of Saints , the forgiuenesse of sinnes , the resurrection of the body , and the life euerlasting . Amen .

And after that , these Prayers following , aswell at Euening prayer , as at Morning prayer , all deuoutly kneeling ; The Minister first pronouncing with a loude voyce .

A Prayer for the Kings Maiestie . O Lord our heauenly Father , high and mightie , King of kings , Lord of lords , the onely ruler of Princes , which doest from thy Throne behold all the dwellers vpon the earth , most heartily we beseech thee with thy fauour to behold our most gracious Souereigne Lord King Charles , and so replenish him with the grace of thy holy Spirit , that hee may alway incline to thy will , and walke in thy way , indue him plentifully with heauenly gifts , grant him in health and wealth long to liue , strengthen him that hee may vanquish and ouercome all his enemies , and finally after this life , hee may attaine euerlasting ioy & felicity , through Iesus Christ our Lord , Amen .

Or this .

O Lord , thou hast dealt graciously with our land : and we thy vnworthy creatures acknowledge our selues infinitely blessed in thy seruant our dread Souereigne King Charles , whom thou hast chosen and anointed to rule ouer vs : and wee are at this time here gathered together before heauen , and before thee , to make a gratefull commemoration of the time , and of the day wherein this thine vnspeakeable goodnesse began to bee powred vpon vs , and to offer vp our vowes and sacrifices of thanksgiuing , and praise vnto thy glorious Name , which cannot worthily of vs be praised : humbly beseeching thee to accept the vnworthy oblation of our selues , vowing all holy obedience in thought , word and worke vnto thy diuine Maiestie , and promising in thee , and for thee vnto this our King all loyall and faithfull allegiance , and to his seede , his heires , and successors after him in all generations , whom wee beseech thee to follow with all increase of honour and happinesse in this world , and to crowne with immortalitie , and glory in the world to come , for Iesus Christ his sake our onely Lord and Sauiour . Amen .

O God , which art the authour of peace , and louer of concord , in knowledge of whom standeth our eternall life , whose seruice is perfect freedome , defend vs thy humble seruants in all assaults of our enemies , that wee surely trusting in thy defence , may not feare the power of any aduersaries , through the might of Iesus Christ our Lord . Amen .

The third Collect for grace . O Lord our heauenly Father , Almighty and euerlasting God , which hast safely brought vs to the beginning of this day , defend vs in the same with thy mighty power , and grant that this day we fall into no sinne , neither runne into any kinde of danger , but that all our doings may be ordered by thy gouernance , to do alwayes that is righteous in thy sight , through Iesus Christ our Lord . Amen .
