THE ORDER FOR

MORNING PRAYER,

DAILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

At the beginning of Morning Prayer the Minister shall read with a loud voice some one or more of these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. And then he shall say that which is written after the said Sentences.

THEN the wicked man turn­eth away from his wicked­ness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Ezek. xviii. 27.

I acknowledge my transgres­sions, and my sin is ever before me. Psalm li. 3.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Psalm li. 9.

The sacrifices of God are a bro­ken spirit: a broken and a con­trite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm li. 17.

Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Joel ii. 13.

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him: neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us. Dan. ix. 9, 10.

O Lord, correct me, but with judgement; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. Jer. x. 24. Psalm vi. 1.

I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more wor­thy to be called thy son. St. Luke xv. 18, 19.

Enter not into judgement with thy servant, O Lord; for in thy sight shall no man living be jus­tified. Psalm cxliii. 2.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us: but, if we con­fess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous­ness. 1 St. John i. 8, 9.

the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloke them be­fore the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, pe­nitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgive­ness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And al­though we ought at all times hum­bly to acknowledge our sins God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks
