or from promise,

for all whom I have promised to remember
in my prayers;

or from mutual offices;

for all who remember me in their

and ask of me the same;

prayers,

or from stress of engagements;

for all who on sufficient reasons fail to call upon Thee,
for all who have no intercessor
in their own behalf;

for all who at present are in agony
of extreme necessity or deep affliction;
for all who are attempting any good work,
which will bring glory to the Name of God
or some great good to the Church;
for all who act nobly,

either towards things sacred, or to the poor
for all who have ever been offended by me,
either in word or deed.

God have mercy on me, and bless me ; God show the light of His countenance upon me, and pity me.

God bless me, even our God;
God bless me, and receive my prayer.

EJACULATIONS.

(To be committed to memory, and repeated at all times during Lent and Passion Tide.)

I.

What profit is there in my blood
when I go down to the pit.?

II.

O, by Thy resurrection, raise me up
unto newness of life

supplying to me modes of repentance.

III.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak;
remember, Lord, how short my time is.

IV.

O my Lord, let Thy mercy
rejoice against Thy judgment in my sin.
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive;
O Lord, hearken;

O Lord, hearken and do;
do, and defer not for Thine own sake
defer not, O Lord my God.

V.

Remember that I am but flesh,

a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. My days are as grass, as a flower of the field; for the wind goeth over me, and I am gone, and my place shall know me no more.

VI.

I am dust and ashes,
earth and grass,

flesh and breath,

corruption and the worm,
a stranger upon the earth,

S

dwelling in a house of clay,
few and evil my days,
to-day, and not to-morrow,
in the morning, yet not until night,
in a body of sin,
in a world of corruption,
of few days, and full of trouble,
coming up, and cut down like a flower,
and as a shadow, having no stay.

VII.

By the multitude of Thy mercies,
by the riches and excessive redundance
of Thy pity;

by all that is dear to Thee,
all that we should plead,

and before and beyond all things, by Thyself, by Thyself, O Lord, and by Thy Christ. Lord have mercy on me, the chief of sinners.

VIII.

Thou Who didst send down on Thy disciples Thy Thrice-Holy Spirit,

withdraw not Thou the gift, O Lord, from us, but renew it day by day, in us, who ask Thee for it.

IX.

Thou God of peace,

who did'st bring again from the dead,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,

through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Our Lord Jesus Christ, perfect us in every good work, to do His will;

working in us what is acceptable before Him, through Jesus Christ,

to Whom be glory for ever.

HE THAT WILL LIVE IN THE EXERCISE OF GOD'S PRESENCE, MUST PRAY AND READ FREQUENTLY WHEN YOU PRAY, YOU SPEAK TO GOD; WHEN YOU READ, GOD SPEAKS TO YOU.
