_After which done, the Priest shall say_,

Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's Church militant here
in earth.

Almighty and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught
us to make prayers and supplications, and to give thanks, for all
men: We humbly beseech thee most * mercifully [_to accept our alms
and oblations, and_] to receive these our prayers, which we offer
unto thy Divine Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually
the universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord:
And grant, that all they that do confess thy holy Name may agree in
the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity, and godly love. We
beseech thee also to save and defend all Christian Kings, Princes,
and Governors; and specially thy servant _GEORGE_ our King; that
under him we may be godly and quietly governed: And grant unto his
whole Council, and to all that are put in authority under him, that
they may truly and indifferently minister justice, to the punishment
of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion,
and virtue. Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and
Curates, that they may both by their life and doctrine set forth
thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy
holy Sacraments: And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace;
and specially to this congregation here present; that, with meek
heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy Word;
truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of
their life. And we most humbly beseech thee of thy goodness, O
Lord, to comfort and succour all them, who in this transitory
life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity.
And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this
life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to give us grace so
to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers
of thy heavenly kingdom: Grant this, O Father, for Jesus C
