my love and gratitude; and in preaching, to give a readiness of thought and expression suitable to the clearness and excellency of thy Holy Word. Grant this for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son our Saviour. The instituted Minister, standing up, shall say, The Lord be with you. Let us pray. ALMIGHTY God, who hast built thy Church upon the fourdation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Corner Stone; grant that, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, all Christians may be so joined together in unity of spirit, and in the bond of peace, that they may be an Holy Temple acceptable unto thee. And especially, to this congregation present, give the abundance of thy grace; that with one heart, they may desire the prosperity of thy holy Apostolic Church, and with one mouth, may profess the faith once delivered to the Saints. Defend them from the sins of heresy and schism; Let not the foot of pride come nigh to hurt them, nor the hand of the ungodly to cast them down. And grant that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy governance, that thy Church may joyfully serve thee in all godly quietness; that so they may walk in the ways of truth and peace, and at last be numbered with thy Saints in glory everlasting, through thy merits, O blessed Jesus, thou gracious Bishop and Shepherd of our souls, who art, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen. Then shall follow the Sermon and after that the instituted Mi nister shall proceed to the Communion Service, and to administer the holy Eucharist to his Congregation; and after the Benediction, (which he shall always pronounce) the Wardens, Vestry, and others shall salute and welcome him, bidding him, God speed. When the Bishop of the Diocess is present at the institution of a Minister, he shall make to him the address prescribed in this Office in the form of a letter; and may perform such other duties hercin assigned the instituting Minister as he may choose. 1 IN pursuance of a resolution of the General Convention of the Protestart Episcopal Church in the United States of America, we, the subscribers, a Committee authorized for the purpose, do hereby set forth this Selection of Psalms.
