Cabrera.

Ans. Amen.

Min. Through Thy mercy, O our God, Who art blessed, and dost live, and govern all things, world without end.

Ans. Amen.

Then shall the Minister read, or cause to be sung, one or more of the following Texts :

1. The Lord is in His holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before Him.

2. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.

3. Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens ; let Thy glory be above all the earth.

4. The works of the hands of the Lord are verity and judgment: all His commandments are sure.

¶ Then shall the Minister say:

Hear the commandments which the Lord Jehovah hath given to His people.

(Here follow the Ten Commandments.)

The Congregation shall then say:

Grant, O God, this good unto Thy servants, that we may meditate upon Thy commandments and keep Thy law for ever and ever." Amen.

The Minister;

Dearly beloved brethren: Remembering how that daily and very often we do break these holy precepts,

let us humble ourselves in the presence of the Lord, and from the inmost recesses of our souls confess unto Him all our sins with a sincere and repentant heart.

Then all kneeling shall say:

O Lord God, Eternal and Almighty Father, we Swiss. acknowledge and confess before Thy Divine Majesty that we are miserable sinners, conceived and born in sin, inclined to evil, unable of ourselves to do any good thing. Daily and in a thousand ways we break Thy holy commandments, so that we bring upon ourselves by Thy righteous sentence, condemnation and death. But we feel a lively sorrow for having offended against Thee; we condemn ourselves with a true repentance, humbly recurring to Thy grace and beseeching Thee that Thou wouldst succour us in our distress. Have mercy upon us, O God, Father of mercies, and pardon all our sins, for the sake of Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Presbyter [or the Bishop, if he be present] standing shall then say:

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Cabrera. Who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live, vouchsafe to pardon all your offences, clothe you with the spotless robe of the righteousness of Christ, and grant unto you the graces of His Holy Spirit, that your desires being brought into subjection, you may not be hindered in lifting up your souls towards heaven, but may obtain the fruits of repentance, faith, holiness, and good works, which things are acceptable unto Him, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen. Ans. God Almighty have mercy upon thee also, par- Roman,
