day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive them that trespass against us. And

Elead us not into temptation; But deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.

COLLECT.

Amen...

A Lmighty God, Father of thy Christ thine onlybegotten Son, give me a body undefiled, a pure heart, and a watchful mind, knowledge without error, and the powerful influence of thy Holy Spirit, that I may obtain and affuredly enjoy the truth, through thy Chrift, by whom glory be to thee in the Holy Ghost, for ever and ever. Amen.

Then shall the Deacon fay,

Eeing now, dearly beloved, that these persons are

regenerate and grafted into the body of Chrift's church, let us give thanks unto Almighty God for these benefits, and with one accord make our prayers unto him, that these perfons may lead the rest of their lives according to this beginning.

Anfw. Lord, have mercy: We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord.

Then shall the Priest say,

E yield thee hearty thanks, most merciful Fa

rate these perfons with thy Holy Spirit, to receive them for thine own children by adoption, and to corporate them into thy holy church. And humbly we beseech thee to grant, that they being dead unto fin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in his death, may crucify the old man, and utterly abolish the whole body of fin;

fin; and that as they are made partakers of the death
of thy Son, they may also be partakers of his resur-
rection; so that finally with the residue of thy holy
church, they may be inheritours of thine everlasting
kingdom, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the Priest say this exhortation following,
Speaking to the Sponsors first.

Forafmuch as

these perfons have promised in your

presence to renounce the devil and all his works, to believe in God, and to serve him; ye must remember that it is your part and duty to put them in mind, what a folemn vow, promife, and profeffion they have now made before this congregation, and especially before you their chosen witnesses. And ye are also to call upon them to use all diligence to be farther instructed in God's holy word, that so they may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and live godly, righteously, and soberly in this present world.

And then Speaking to the new baptized perfons, he shall proceed, and say,

ND

A as for you, who have now by baptifm put on Christ, it is your part and duty also, being made the children of God and of the light by faith in Jesus Christ, to walk answerably to your Chriftian calling, and as becometh the children of light: remembring always, that Baptifm doth reprefent unto us our profession, which is to follow the example of our Saviour Christ, and to be made like unto him; that as he died and rose again for us, so should we who are baptized, die from fin and rise again unto righteousness, continually mortifying all our evil

and

and corrupt affections, and daily proceeding in all virtue and godliness of living.

Then shall the Deacon add and say,

E are to take care, that ye come to the Bishop to be confirmed by him so soon as conveniently may be, that so ye may be admitted to the holy communion.

Almighty God, Father of Christ, and King of every sensible and intelligent Being, fanc tify Here the Bishop is to make the fign of the cross over the Oil this Oil in the name of the Lord Jesus; and grant it spiritual grace and efficacious power, that it may be subservient to the remiffion of fins, and may be a strengthening preparation for Baptism, that they who shall be anointed therewith,

being freed from all ungodliness, may become wor

thy thy of initiation, according to the command of thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord; through whom glory, honour, and adoration be to Thee, in the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

Then the People shall rise, and the Deacon Shall carry the confecrated Oil into the Vestry, or to Some other convenient place.
