BELIEVE in God the Father Al¬ mighty, Maker of heaven andearth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suf¬ fered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven. And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge thequick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Cath¬ olic Church; The Communion ofSaints:The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurreflion of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen. ^ The Lord be with you. B? And with thy spirit. Let us pray. UR Father, who art in heaven. Hal¬ lowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth. As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil ; For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. 'f Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance. 1^7 And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. LESSED Saviour, who at this hour didst hang upon the Cross, stretch¬ ing forth thy loving arms ; Grant that all mankind may look unto thee, and be saved; through thy mercies and merits, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end.

Amen. f A Light to lighten the Gentiles: 157 And the glory of thy people Israel. ATHER of mercies, who to thine Apostle Saint Peter didst reveal in threefold vision thy boundless compassion; Forgive, we pray thee, our unbelief, and so enlarge our hearts and enkindle our zeal that we may fervently de¬ sire the salvation of all men, and with ready diligence labor in the extension of thy king¬ dom ; for his sake who gave himself for the life of the world, thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ.
