¶ THE CONFESSION (OR PRAYER FOR PARDON AND GRACE, OR PENITENTIAL PRAYER) AND LORD'S PRAYER ARE IN ALL CASES TO BE REPEATED ALOUD AFTER THE PERSON OFFICIATING.

¶ THE RESPONSES, AND SUCH VERSES OF THE PSALMS AND LINES OF THE HYMNS AS ARE IN ITALICS, ARE TO BE REPEATED ALOUD BY ALL BUT THE PERSON OFFICIATING.

TAMEN IN ORDINARY ROMAN TYPE, THUS (Amen),

IS PART OF THE FOREGOING PRAYER, AND IS

TO BE AUDIBLY SAID BY HIM OR THEM WHO

SAY THE PRAYER. THUS, IN THE INVOCATION
FOR SUNDAY MORNING, IT IS SAID BY THE
MASTER ONLY; BUT AFTER THE PRAYER FOR
PARDON AND GRACE ON SUNDAY MORNING,
IT IS SAID BY THE MASTER AND FAMILY TO-
GETHER.
BUT AMEN IN ITALICS, THUS (Amen),

IS A RESPONSE, AND IS TO BE SAID ONLY BY
THE FAMILY, AFTER PRAYERS WHICH ONLY THE
MASTER SAYS.

Instead of the prescribed Invocation, one or more of these passages of Holy Scripture may be read before the Prayers, at the discretion of the Master.

Prayer for Pardon and Grace.

WE

E humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, to do away as the night all our transgressions, And to scatter our sins as the morning cloud: Lord, forgive whatsoever thou hast seen amiss in us during the past week; Wash us throughly from our wickedness, and cleanse us

from our sin; And let thy holy Spirit so prevent, and accompany, and follow us during the week on which we are now entering, that we may believe in thee, and love thee, and keep thy commandments, And continue in thy fear every day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O

PRAYER FOR ABSOLUTION.

LORD, we beseech thee, absolve thy people from their offences; that through thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those sins, which by our frailty we have committed: Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
