THE ORDER FOR

MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER,

daily to be said and used throughout the Year.( A)

THE Morning and Evening Prayer shall be used in the accustomed place of the Church, Chapel, or Chancel; ex­cept it shall be otherwise determined by the Ordinary of the place. And the Chancels shall remain as they have done in times past.

And here is to be noted, that such ornaments of the Church, and of the Ministers thereof, at all times of their ministration, shall be retained, and be in use, as were in this Church of England, by the authority of Parliament, in the second year of the reign of King Edward the Sixth.

A. Prayer is the lifting up of the soul to daily converse with God. Morning and Evening sacrifice was ordained by God himself( Exod. 29; 38, 39.), upon which account the primi­tive Christians constantly observed these two solemnities of prayer. Our established Liturgy is called a" Book of Common Prayer" as containing Forms of Prayer, which people, met together do with united hearts and affections, offer up in common supplication to God.
