Then the archbishop went on to the Post Communion, saying,--

Our Father which art in heaven; hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom

come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this

day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive

them who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but

deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and

the glory, for ever. Amen.

Then this prayer,

O Lord and heavenly Father, we, thy humble servants, entirely desire

thy fatherly goodness, mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of

praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant, that

by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith

in his blood, we and all thy whole church may obtain remission of

our sins, and all other benefits of his passion. And here we offer,

and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to

be a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto thee; humbly

beseeching thee, that all we, who are partakers of this holy

communion, may be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction.

Then was said,

Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace; good will towards men.

We praise thee; we bless thee; we worship thee; we glorify thee; we

give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King,

God the Father Almighty.

O Lord, the only begotten Son, Jesu Christ.

O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the

sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the

sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the

right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.

For thou only art holy, thou only art the Lord, thou only, O Christ,

with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

The King returned to his throne upon the theatre, and afterwards the

archbishop read the final prayers.
