laws, We have left vndon those things which we ought to have don, And we have don those things which we ought not to have don, And there is no health in vs: But thou, O Lord, have mercy vpon vs miserable offenders; Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults, Restore thou them that are penitent, According to thy promises declared vnto mankind, in Christ Jesu our Lord: And grant most mercifull father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
¶ The Absolution, or Remission of sins to be pronounced by the Priest alone, standing, the people still kneeling.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness, and live; and hath given power and commandment to his ministers to declare, and pronounce to his people being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins: He pardoneth, and absolveth all them that truly repent, and vnfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant vs true repentance, and his holy spirit, that those things may please him which we do, at this present, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to his eternall ioy, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
The people shall answer here, and at the end of all other prayers. Amen
¶ Then the Minister shall kneel and say the Lords Prayer with an audible voice: the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him, both here, and wheresoever else it is vsed in divine service.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be don in earth as it is in heaven, Give vs this day our daily
bread
