derfully made, and that our souls know right well; for what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with His benefits, even the God of our salvation. But especially blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ.

INTERCESSION.

Lord, we pray as we are taught, for all men, believing that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself a ransom for all.

Our heart's desire and prayer to God for the gospel Israel is, that they might be saved. Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion, build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Peace be within her walls, and prosperity within her palaces; for our brethren and companions' sake, we will now say, peace be within her.

We bless Thee that Thou hast planted us in a very fruitful hill, and hast not made the wilderness our habitation, or the barren land our dwelling, but our land yields her increase. O Lord, continue to be a wall of fire round about us, and the glory in the midst of us.

Let the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. Amen.

CONFESSION.

F Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who should stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared; with Thee there is mercy, yea, with our God there is plenteous redemption, and He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Thou hast written to us the great things of Thy law, but they have been accounted by us a strange thing, and our corrupt hearts have been sometimes ready to say, What is the Almighty that we should serve Him? And that we would certainly do whatsoever thing goes forth out of our own mouth. For we have walked in the way of our own heart, and in the sight of our eyes, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind.

The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint; from the sole of the foot even unto the head, there is no soundness in us, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores.

PETITION.

Lord, all our desire is before Thee, and our groaning is not hid from Thee; even the groanings which cannot be uttered: For He that searcheth the heart knows what is the mind of the spirit.

We do not think that we shall be heard for our much speaking; for our Father knows what things we have need of before we ask Him; but our Master hath told us, that whatsoever we ask the Father in His name, He will give it us. And He hath said, Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Thou art a God of pardons, merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; that dost not always chide, nor keep Thine anger for ever.

Lord, Thou hast said, that if the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return unto the Lord, even to our God, that Thou wilt abundantly pardon, wilt multiply to pardon.

THANKSGIVING.

Let our souls bless the Lord, and let all that is within us bless His holy name; yea, let our souls bless the Lord, and not forget any of His benefits.

Thou art gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy, and hast told us, that Thou dost not afflict willingly, or grieve the children of men, but though Thou cause grief, yet Thou wilt have compassion, according to the multitude of Thy mercies.

Thou makest us to lie down in green pastures, Thou leadest us beside the still waters; Thou preparest a table for us in the presence of our enemies, Thou anointest our head, and our cup runs over.

We bless Thee for the promise made to Abraham, that in his seed all the families of the earth should be blessed; and that when the fulness of time was come, Thou didst send forth Thy Son made of a woman,

made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

INTERCESSION.

Lord, look with compassion upon the world that lies in wickedness, and let the Prince of this world be cast out, that has blinded their minds.

Let the people praise Thee, O God, yea, let all the people praise Thee: O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thine heritage : Feed them also, and lift them up for ever. Give strength unto Thy people, and bless Thy people with peace; with Thy favour, do Thou compass them as with a shield.

Let Thy Spirit be poured out upon Thy Churches from on high, and then the wilderness shall become a fruitful field, then judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Now the God of Israel grant us the things we have requested of Him. Amen.
