THE EPISTLE 1. TIMOTH. 11.1.
I EXHORT therfore, that first of all Supplications, Prayers, Intercessions, and Giving of Thanks be made for all Men: for KINGS, and for All that are in Authoritie; that wee may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all Godlines and Honestie. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all Men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the Truth. For there is one God, & one Mediator betweene God & Men, the Man CHRIST IESVS.[Page 16]Who gave Himself a Ransome for All, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordeined a Preacher & an Apostle, (I speak the Truth in CHRIST, & lie not) a Teacher of the Gentiles in Faith & Verity. I will therfore that Men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
The Gospel. S. MARK. X. ℣. XXVIII.

But Many that are first, shalbe Last; & the Last first.
After the Creed, and the Prayer for Christ's Church.
This is also to be said at Evening, immediately before S. Chrysostome's Prayer.GRANT, Mercifull Lord, thy Protection, and thy Blessing to our Gracious KING: that in all his wayes He may be defended from all Kinds of Perils, & may so prosper in his Endeavours, that all his people may, by the might of Thy Hand, be brought to obedience vnder Him, to serve & honour Thee, through IESVS CHRIST our Lord. Amen.
