O God, heavenly Father, which 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 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 celebrate a perpetual
memory of that his precious Death, until
his coming again:

[And here wee offre and present unto thee

(O Lorde) oure selfe, oure soules, and
bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and lively
sacrifice unto thee: humbly besechyng thee,
that whosoever shalbee partakers of thys
holy Communion, maye worthely receive
the most precious body and bloude of thy
sonne Jesus Christe: and bee fulfilled with
thy grace and heavenly benediccion, and
made one bodye with thy sonne Jesu
Christe, that he maye dwell in them, and
they in hym.

We beseech thee then, O Father, graciously

to accept this oblation from us thy servants,
and from thy whole family: order thou our
days in thy peace, and bid us to be
delivered from eternal damnation, and to be
numbered in the fold of thine elect through
Christ our Lord.

Therefore]
we beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to
accept this oblation of our service, as also
of Thy whole family; and to dispose our
days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal
damnation, and rank us in the number of
Thine Elect;

merciful Father, to blesse and sancifie with
thy holy spirite and worde, that they maie
be made unto us the bodye and bloude of
thy moste derely beloved sonne Jesus
Christe.

On the night in which he was betrayed unto
suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ
took bread; and when he had given thanks
unto thee, he brake it, and gave it to his
disciples, saying, Take, eat: This is my
Body, which is given for you. Do this for
the remembrance of me.

Likewise, after supper he took the cup of

gave it to them, and said, Drink ye all of
this: For this is my Blood of the new
Covenant, which is shed for you and for
many for the remission of sins. Do this, as
