ALMIGHTY, everliving GOD,

Maker of mankind, Who dost correct those whom Thou dost love, and chastise every one whom Thou dost receive; We beseech Thee to have mercy upon this Thy servant visited with Thine hand, and to grant that he may take his sickness patiently, and recover his bodily health, (if it be Thy gracious will;) and whensoever

his soul shall depart from the body, it may be without spot presented unto Thee; through JESUS CHRIST Our LORD. Amen.

Y son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. For whom the LORD loveth He chasteneth; and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.

the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil for Thou art : with me; Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.

5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
