that shall receive the Communion this
Prayer following_.

We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great
mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs
under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is
always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to
eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his
blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and
our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may
ever more dwell in him, and he in us. _Amen_.

_When the Priest, standing before the Table, hath so ordered the
Bread and Wine, that he may with the more readiness and decency
break the Bread before the people, and take the Cup into his
hands, he shall say the Prayer of Consecration, as followeth_.

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of thy tender mercy didst
give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross
for our redemption; who made there (by his one oblation of himself
once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation,
and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did
institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a
perpetual memory of that his precious death, until his coming
again: Hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech thee;
and grant that we receiving these thy creatures of bread and wine,
according to thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ's holy institution,
in remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of his
most blessed Body and Blood: who, in the same night that he was
betrayed, [a] took Bread; and, when he had given thanks, [b] he
brake it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat; [c]
this is my Body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance
of me. Likewise after supper [d] he took the Cup; and, when he
had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all Of
this; for [e] this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is
shed for you and for many for the remission of sins: Do this, as
oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. _Amen_.
