Upon Ascension-day, and seven days after. THE HROUGH thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who, after his most glorious Resurrection, manifestly appeared to all his Apostles, and in their sight ascended up into heaven, to prepare a place for us; that where he is, thither we might also ascend, and reign with him in glory.

cording to whose most true promise, the Holy Ghost came down as at this time from heaven, with a sudden great sound, as it had been a mighty wind, in the likeness of fiery tongues, lighting upon the Apostles, to teach them, and to lead them to all truth; giving them both the gift of divers languages, and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly to preach the Gospel unto all nations; whereby we have been brought out of darkness and error into the clear light and true knowledge of thee, and of thy Son Jesus Christ. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon the Feast of Trinity only, may be· said,

WHO art one God, one Lord; not one only Person, but three Persons in one Substance. For that which we believe of the glory of the Father, the same we believe of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, without any difference or inequality. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Or else this may be said, the words [Holy Father] being retained in the introductory Address.

FOR the precious death and merits of thy

Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and for the sending to us of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter; who are one with thee in thy Eternal Godhead. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Then shall the Priest, kneeling down at the Lord's Table, say, in the name of all those who shall receive the Communion, this Prayer following.

WE E do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

When the Priest, standing before the Table, hath so ordered the Bread and Wine, that he may with the more readiness and decency break the Bread before the People, and take the Cup into his hands, he shall say the Prayer of Consecration, as followeth.

ALL glory be to thee Almighty God, our

heavenly Father, for that thou, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; who made there (by his one oblation of himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again: For in the night in which he was betrayed, (a) he took Bread; and when he had given thanks, (b) he brake it, and gave it to his disciples, break the Bread. saying, Take, eat, (c) this is my Body, which is given for all the Bread. you; do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, after supper, (d) he took the Cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for (e) this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for crated. and for many, for the remission of sins; do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.

WHEREFORE, O Lord and
heavenly Father, according
to the institution of thy dearly beloved Son
our Saviour Jesus Christ, we, thy humble
servants, do celebrate and make here before
thy Divine Majesty, with these thy holy
gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the
memorial thy Son hath commanded us to
make; having in remembrance his blessed
passion and precious death, his mighty re-
surrection and glorious ascension; rendering
unto thee most hearty thanks for the innu-
merable benefits procured unto us by the
same. And we most humbly The Invocation.
beseech thee, O merciful Father,
to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness,
vouchsafe to bless and sanctify, with thy
Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts and
creatures of bread and wine; that we, re-
ceiving them according to thy Son our
Saviour Jesus Christ's holy institution, in
remembrance of his death and passion, may
be partakers of his most blessed Body and
Blood. And we earnestly desire thy fatherly
goodness, mercifully to accept this our sac-
rifice of praise and thanksgiving; most hum-
bly beseeching thee to grant, that by the
merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ,
and through faith in his blood, we, and all
thy whole Church, may obtain remission of
our sins, and all other benefits of his passion.
And here we offer and present unto thee,

O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that we, and all others who shall be partakers of this Holy Communion, may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction, and made one body with him, that he may dwell in them, and they in him. And although we are unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice; yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.

Here shall be sung a Hymn, or part of a Hymn, from the Selection of the Feasts and Fasts, &c.

Then shall the Priest first receive the Communion in both kinds himself, and proceed to deliver the same to the Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, in like manner, (if any be present) and, after that, to the People also in order, into their hands, all devoutly kneeling. And when he delivereth the Bread, he shall say,

THE Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which

was given for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life. Take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died for thee, and feed on him in thy heart by faith, with thanksgiving.
