TUESDAY EVENING.

ALMIGHTY God! who for the sake of Him that died on the cross to save sinners dost forgive the sins of all the truly penitent, create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of Thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness. Let not our sorrow be of the world unto death, but after a godly manner; that carefulness may be wrought in us, and fear and clearing of ourselves. Stir us up to constant and impartial self-examination, to watchfulness and fervent prayer and grant us continually the help of Thy grace to save us from the corruptions of the flesh, from the wiles and assaults of Satan, and from the seductive practices and perplexing interests of the world around us. Enable us in our daily conduct to subdue all evil tempers, impatience, and perverseness; all selfishness and discontent; and to set a guard upon ourselves in the fear of Thee. Let not our hearts entertain any proud or unkindly notions, and let not our tongues become unruly. Teach us, unto whom Christ has forgiven so much, to forbear one another, and to forgive one another, in all meeknesss, and to put on charity, the

bond of perfectness. Assist us, gracious Lord, against our own blindness and iniquity, that we may break through the bonds of spiritual ignorance, and the snares of idleness and luxury. Give us true wisdom, that we may discern what is pleasing to Thee, may follow what belongs unto our peace. If it please Thee that our riches increase, let not our hearts be set upon them; but keep us, we beseech Thee, duly mindful of Thee, the Giver of all good things, and always conscious that here we can not have any thing of our own; and so conduct us through our stewardship on earth, that we abuse not Thy gifts, but shew ourselves faithful to the charge they imply. Whenever it may please Thee to bring upon us any of the sufferings of this life, humble us entirely before Thy throne. Enable us to look ever unto the cross of our Redeemer, and amid all the chances and changes of this world, let Thy Spirit possess our hearts with patience and consolation, and increase in us true religion, that we may with one mind and one mouth continually glorify Thee as God, through Jesus Christ. Amen.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

ALMIGHTY God! who shewest to them that be in error the light of Thy truth, to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness, absolve us, we beseech Thee, for the sake of Thy Son, from our continual and manifold offences, and thoroughly cleanse our hearts, in order that we may thankfully accept the means of grace, and gladly acknowledge the hope of glory. Suffer us not to deceive our own souls, and remain satisfied with the form of godliness without its power; overcome rather the pride and stubbornness of our tempers; enable us to realize our faith, and day by day to make more and more practical our dependence upon Thee for every good and perfect gift. Enlighten our understandings, O Father of glory! that we be not aliens from Thee, without God in the world, having no hope; but rather obtain fellowship in the mystery now revealed by Thine Apostles and Prophets, and through the effectual working of Thy power become partakers of Thy promise in Christ. Grant us calmness of mind, and steadiness of purpose, that we strive in all things to approve ourselves His disciples. Teach us under Thy blessing to do all we can every hour towards our own amendment, and carefully to avoid saying or doing whatever might be to ourselves

or to others an occasion of evil. Make us kindly to all with whom we may have any intercourse, and ever watchful for the good and comfort of those more immediately around us. Make us earnestly thankful for the many blessings we receive at Thy hands, for all the comforts and conveniences we are enjoying; and so rule our hearts, that our daily prayers unto Thee may be in the spirit fervent and sincere. Have mercy on Thy Church, and grant that all they that do confess Thy holy Name may agree in the truth of Thy holy word, and live in unity and godly love.

Enlighten all Thy

and all those in authority under him. ministers, and more particularly the Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, of our own Church, with a true knowledge and understanding of Thy word; and further amid all nations the knowledge of Thy salvation. And we most humbly beseech Thee of Thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all them who in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity. And we also bless Thy holy Name for all Thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear, beseeching Thee to give us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of Thy heavenly kingdom, through Jesus Christ our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

THURSDAY EVENING.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful God, unto whom we have access through Jesus Christ, for his sake pardon our many offences, and so rule our hearts, that each of us sincerely repent all our sins, negligence, and ignorance, and stedfastly purpose to lead a new life; that each of us have a lively faith in Thy mercy through Christ, with a most thankful remembrance of His death, and be in charity with all men. Teach us to offer up unto Thee our praises and prayers with earnestness and sincerity, well knowing that we are now in Thy more immediate presence, that Thou hearest every word and readest every thought. And since it is Thou alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men, grant that we may love the things which Thou commandest, and desire that which Thou dost promise; that in all time of our tribulation, in all time of our wealth, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found. May it please Thee to forgive whatever of evil in thought, word, or deed the past day witnesseth against us, for the sake of Him who died to afford us the means of grace. Suffer us not to tempt ourselves at all, or to be tempted above what it shall please Thee to
