N. or M. + +Q. _Who gave you this Name_? + +_A_. My God-Fathers and God-Mothers in my Baptism; wherein I was +made a Member of Christ, the Child of God, and an Inheritor of +the Kingdom of Heaven. + +Q. _What did your God-Fathers and God-Mothers then for you_? + +_A_. They did Promise and Vow three Things in my Name: _First_, That +I should renounce the Devil and all his Works, the Pomp and Vanity +of this wicked World, and all the sinful Lusts of the Flesh: +_Secondly_, That I should believe all the Articles of the Christian +Faith: And, _Thirdly_, That I should keep God's holy Will and +Commandments, and walk in the Same all the Days of my Life. + +Q. _Dost thou not think, that thou art bound to Believe, and to Do, +as they have promised for thee_? + +_A_. Yes, verily; and by God's help so I will. And I heartily thank +our Heavenly Father, that he hath called me to this State of +Salvation, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And I pray unto God +to give me his Grace, that I may continue in the same unto my +Life's End. + +Catechist. _Rehearse the Articles of thy Belief_. + +_A_. I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and +Earth: + +And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by +the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin _Mary_; suffered under Pontius +Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into Hell, +the third Day he rose again from the Dead, he ascended into Heaven, +and sitteth at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty; from +thence he shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead. + +I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the Communion +of Saints; the Forgiveness of Sins; the Resurrection of the Body, +and the Life everlasting. Amen. + +Q. _What dost thou chiefly learn in these Articles of thy Belief_? + +_A_. First, I learn to believe in God the Father, Who hath made me +and all the World. + +Secondly, In God the Son, who hath redeemed me, and all Mankind. + +Thirdly, In God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieth me, and all the +Elect People of God. + +Q. _You said that your God-Fathers and God-Mothers did promise for +you, that you should keep God's Commandments. Tell me how many +there be_? + +_A_. Ten. + +Q. _Which be they_? + +_A_. The same which God spake in the twentieth Chapter of _Exodus_, +saying, I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the Land of +_Egypt_, out of the House of Bondage. + +I. Thou shalt have none other Gods but Me. + +II. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven Image, nor the +Likeness of any Thing, that is in Heaven above, or in the Earth +beneath, or in the Water under the Earth. Thou shalt not bow down +to them, nor worship them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, +and visit the Sins of the Fathers upon the Children unto the third +and fourth Generation of them that hate me; and shew Mercy unto +Thousands of them that love me, and keep my Commandments. + +III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for +the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain. + +IV. Remember that thou keep holy the _Sabbath_ Day. Six Days shalt +thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the Seventh Day +is the _Sabbath_ of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt do no Manner +of Work, thou, and thy Son, and thy Daughter, thy Man Servant, and +thy Maid Servant, thy Cattle, and the Stranger that is within thy +Gates: for in six Days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and +all that in them is, and rested the Seventh Day: wherefore, the +Lord blessed the Seventh Day, and hallowed it. + +V. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, that thy Days may be long in +the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. + +VI. Thou shalt do no Murder. + +VII. Thou shalt not commit Adultery. + +VIII. Thou shalt not Steal. + +IX. Thou shalt not bear false Witness against thy Neighbour. + +X. Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbour's House, thou shalt not covet +thy Neighbour's Wife, nor his Servant, nor his Maid, nor his Ox, +nor his Ass, nor any Thing that is his. + +Q. _What dost thou chiefly learn by these Commandments_? + +_A_. I learn two Things: My Duty towards God; and my Duty towards +my Neighbour. + +Q. _What is thy Duty towards God_? + +_A_. My duty towards God, is to believe in him, to fear him, and +to love him, with all my Heart, with all my Mind, with all my Soul, +and with all my Strength; to Worship him, to give him Thanks, to +put my whole Trust in him, to call upon him, to honour his holy +Name and his Word; and to serve him truly all the Days of my Life. + +Q. _What is thy Duty towards thy Neighbour_? + +_A_. My Duty towards my Neighbour, is to love him as myself, and +to do to all Men as I would they should do unto me; to love, honour, +and succour my Father and Mother; to honour and obey the------, and +all that are put in authority under------; to submit myself to all +my Governors, Teachers, Spiritual Pastors, and Masters; to order +myself lowly and reverently to all my Betters; to hurt no Body by +Word or Deed; to be true and just in all my Dealings; to bear no +Malice nor Hatred in my Heart; to keep my Hands from Picking and +Stealing, and my Tongue from Evil-Speaking, Lying, and Slandering; +to keep my Body in Temperance, Soberness, and Chastity; not to +Covet nor Desire other Men's Goods, but to learn and labour truly +to get mine own Living; and to do my Duty in that State of Life +unto which it shall please God to call me. + +Catechist. _My good Child, know this, that thou art not able to do +these Things of thyself, nor to walk in the Commandments of God, +and to serve him, without his special Grace; which thou must learn +at all Times to call for by diligent Prayer. Let me hear, therefore, +if thou canst say the Lord's Prayer_? + +_A_. 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 that Trespass against us. And lead us not into +Temptation; but deliver us from Evil. _Amen_. + +Q. _What desirest thou of God in this Prayer_? + +_A_. I desire my Lord God our heavenly Father, who is the Giver of +all Goodness, to send his Grace unto me, and to all People, that +we may worship him, serve him, and obey him, as we ought to do. +And I pray unto God, that he will send us all Things that be +needful both for our Souls and Bodies; and that he will be merciful +unto us, and forgive us our Sins; and that it will please him to +save and defend us in all Dangers, ghostly and bodily; and that he +will keep us from all Sin and Wickedness, and from our ghostly +Enemy, and from everlasting Death. And this I trust he will do of +his Mercy and Goodness, through our Lord Jesus Christ And therefore +I say, _Amen_: So be it. + +Q. _How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church_? + +_A_. Two only, as generally necessary to Salvation; that is to say, +Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. + +Q. _What meanest thou by this Word_ Sacrament? + +_A_. I mean an outward and visible Sign of an inward and spiritual +Grace, given unto us, ordained by Christ himself, as a Means +whereby we receive the same, and a Pledge to assure us thereof. + +Q. _How many Parts are there in a Sacrament_? + +_A_. Two: The outward visible Sign, and the inward spiritual Grace. + +Q. _What is the outward visible Sign, or Form in Baptism_? + +_A_. Water; wherein the Person is baptised, _In the Name of the +Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost_. + +Q. _What is the inward and spiritual Grace_? + +_A_. A Death unto Sin, and a new Birth unto Righteousness: For +being by Nature born in Sin, and the Children of Wrath, we are +hereby made the Children of Grace. + +Q. _What is required of Persons to be baptised_? + +_A_. Repentance, whereby they forsake Sin; and Faith, whereby they +stedfastly believe the Promises of God, made to them in that +Sacrament. + +Q. _Why then are Infants baptised, when, by Reason of their tender +Age, they cannot perform them_? + +_A_. Because they promise them both by their Sureties; which +Promise, when they come to Age, themselves are bound to perform. + +Q. _Why was the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper ordained_? + +_A_. For the continual Remembrance of the Sacrifice of the Death +of Christ, and of the Benefits which we receive thereby. + +Q. _What is the outward Part or Sign of the Lord's Supper_? + +_A_. Bread and Wine, which the Lord hath commanded to be received. + +Q. _What is the inward Part or Thing signified_? + +_A_. The Body and Blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed +taken and received by the Faithful in the Lord's Supper. + +Q. _What are the Benefits whereof we are Partakers thereby_? + +_A_. The strengthening and refreshing of our Souls by the Body and +Blood of Christ, as our Bodies are by the Bread and Wine. + +Q. _What is required of them who come to the Lord's Supper_? + +_A_. To examine themselves, whether they repent them truly of their +former Sins, stedfastly purposing to lead a new Life; have a lively +Faith in God's Mercy through Christ, with a thankful Remembrance of +his Death and be in Charity with all Men. + + + +PRAYERS _used in the_ ACADEMY _of the_ PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL +CHURCH, _in Philadelphia_. + + +LET US PRAY. + +_Lord have Mercy upon us_. + +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 that Trespass against us. And lead us not into Temptation; +but deliver us from Evil. AMEN. + +O Lord, our Heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, who hast +safely brought us to the Beginning of this Day; defend us in the +same with thy mighty Power, and grant that this Day we fall into no +Sin, neither run into any Kind of Danger; but that all our Doings +may be ordered by thy Governance, to do always what is righteous in +thy Sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. + +_But at Evening Prayer, instead of the foregoing Collect, the +following is to be used_. + +Lighten our Darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord, and by thy great +Mercy defend us from all Perils and Dangers of this Night, for the +Love of thy only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. AMEN. + +O God, the Creator and Preserver of all Mankind, we humbly beseech +thee for all Sorts and Conditions of Men; that thou wouldest be +pleased to make thy Ways known unto them, thy saving Health unto +all Nations. More especially we pray for the good Estate of the +Catholic Church; that it may be so guided and governed by thy good +Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be +led into the Way of Truth, and hold the Faith in Unity of Spirit, +in the Bond of Peace, and in Righteousness of Life. Finally, we +commend to thy fatherly Goodness all those who are any ways +afflicted or distressed in Mind, Body, or Estate; that it may +please thee to comfort and relieve them according to their several +Necessities, giving them Patience under their Sufferings, and a +happy Issue out of all their Afflictions: And this we beg for +Jesus Christ his sake. AMEN. + +Almighty God, Father of all Mercies, we thine unworthy Servants do +give thee most humble and hearty Thanks for all thy Goodness and +loving Kindness to us, and to all Men. We bless thee for our +Creation, Preservation, and all the Blessings of this Life; but +above all for thine inestimable Love in the Redemption of the World +by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the Means of Grace, and for the Hope +of Glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due Sense of all thy +Mercies, that our Hearts may be unfeignedly Thankful, and that we +may shew forth thy Praise, not only with our Lips, but in our Lives, +by giving up ourselves to thy Service, and by walking before thee +in Holiness and Righteousness all our Days, through Jesus Christ +our Lord; to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all Honour and +Glory, World without End. AMEN. + +Almighty God, who hast given us Grace at this Time with one Accord +to make our common Supplications unto thee, and dost promise that +when two or three are gathered together in thy Name, thou wilt +grant their Requests; fulfil now, O Lord, the Desires and Petitions +of thy Servants, as may be most Expedient for them; granting us in +this World Knowledge of thy Truth, and in the World to come Life +everlasting. AMEN. + +The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the +Fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. AMEN. + + + +Graces and Hymns. + + +GRACE before MEAT. + +The Eyes of all Things do look up and trust in thee, O Lord: Thou +openest thy Hand liberally, and fillest every living Thing. Good +Lord bless us, and all the Gifts which we receive from thee; +through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN. + + +GRACE after MEAT. + +The God of all Glory and Power, who hath created, redeemed, and +presently fed us, be blessed and praised, both now and for evermore. +AMEN. + + +_Song of the Angels at the Nativity of our blessed Saviour_, +Luke ii, from verse 8, to verse 15. + + While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night, + All seated on the Ground, + The Angel of the Lord came down, + And Glory shone around. + + "Fear not said he," for mighty Dread, + "Had seized their troubled Mind; + "Glad Tidings of great Joy I bring + "To you and all Mankind. + + "To you, in David's Town this Day, + "Is born, of David's Line, + "The Saviour who is Christ the Lord, + "And this shall be the Sign: + + "The heav'nly Babe you there shall find + "To human View display'd, + "All meanly wrapp'd in Swathing-bands, + "And in a Manger laid." + + Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith + Appear'd a shining Throng + Of Angels, praising God, and thus + Address'd their joyful Song: + + "All Glory be to God on high, + "And to the Earth be Peace: + "Good-Will, henceforth, from Heav'n to Men, + "Begin and never cease." + + +For EASTER-DAY. + + Since Christ, our Passover, is slain + A Sacrifice for all: + Let all with thankful Hearts agree + To keep the Festival: + + Not with the Leaven, as of old, + Of Sin and Malice fed; + But with unfeign'd Sincerity, + And Truth's unleaven'd Bread. + + Christ being rais'd by Pow'r Divine, + And rescu'd from the Grave, + Shall die no more, Death shall on him + No more Dominion have. + + For that he dy'd, 'twas for our Sins + He once vouchsaf'd to die: + But that he lives, he lives to God + For all Eternity. + + So count yourselves as dead to Sin, + But graciously restor'd, + And made henceforth alive to God, + Through Jesus Christ our Lord. + + To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, + The God whom we adore, + Be glory, as it was, is now, + And shall be evermore. + + +F I N I + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The A, B, C.

Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/30545-0.zip b/30545-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2cc785e --- /dev/null +++ b/30545-0.zip diff --git a/30545.txt b/30545.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f07a08c --- /dev/null +++ b/30545.txt @@ -0,0 +1,873 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The A, B, C.

N. or M. + +Q. _Who gave you this Name_? + +_A_. My God-Fathers and God-Mothers in my Baptism; wherein I was +made a Member of Christ, the Child of God, and an Inheritor of +the Kingdom of Heaven. + +Q. _What did your God-Fathers and God-Mothers then for you_? + +_A_. They did Promise and Vow three Things in my Name: _First_, That +I should renounce the Devil and all his Works, the Pomp and Vanity +of this wicked World, and all the sinful Lusts of the Flesh: +_Secondly_, That I should believe all the Articles of the Christian +Faith: And, _Thirdly_, That I should keep God's holy Will and +Commandments, and walk in the Same all the Days of my Life. + +Q. _Dost thou not think, that thou art bound to Believe, and to Do, +as they have promised for thee_? + +_A_. Yes, verily; and by God's help so I will. And I heartily thank +our Heavenly Father, that he hath called me to this State of +Salvation, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And I pray unto God +to give me his Grace, that I may continue in the same unto my +Life's End. + +Catechist. _Rehearse the Articles of thy Belief_. + +_A_. I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and +Earth: + +And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by +the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin _Mary_; suffered under Pontius +Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into Hell, +the third Day he rose again from the Dead, he ascended into Heaven, +and sitteth at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty; from +thence he shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead. + +I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the Communion +of Saints; the Forgiveness of Sins; the Resurrection of the Body, +and the Life everlasting. Amen. + +Q. _What dost thou chiefly learn in these Articles of thy Belief_? + +_A_. First, I learn to believe in God the Father, Who hath made me +and all the World. + +Secondly, In God the Son, who hath redeemed me, and all Mankind. + +Thirdly, In God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieth me, and all the +Elect People of God. + +Q. _You said that your God-Fathers and God-Mothers did promise for +you, that you should keep God's Commandments. Tell me how many +there be_? + +_A_. Ten. + +Q. _Which be they_? + +_A_. The same which God spake in the twentieth Chapter of _Exodus_, +saying, I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the Land of +_Egypt_, out of the House of Bondage. + +I. Thou shalt have none other Gods but Me. + +II. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven Image, nor the +Likeness of any Thing, that is in Heaven above, or in the Earth +beneath, or in the Water under the Earth. Thou shalt not bow down +to them, nor worship them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, +and visit the Sins of the Fathers upon the Children unto the third +and fourth Generation of them that hate me; and shew Mercy unto +Thousands of them that love me, and keep my Commandments. + +III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for +the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his Name in vain. + +IV. Remember that thou keep holy the _Sabbath_ Day. Six Days shalt +thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the Seventh Day +is the _Sabbath_ of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt do no Manner +of Work, thou, and thy Son, and thy Daughter, thy Man Servant, and +thy Maid Servant, thy Cattle, and the Stranger that is within thy +Gates: for in six Days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and +all that in them is, and rested the Seventh Day: wherefore, the +Lord blessed the Seventh Day, and hallowed it. + +V. Honour thy Father and thy Mother, that thy Days may be long in +the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. + +VI. Thou shalt do no Murder. + +VII. Thou shalt not commit Adultery. + +VIII. Thou shalt not Steal. + +IX. Thou shalt not bear false Witness against thy Neighbour. + +X. Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbour's House, thou shalt not covet +thy Neighbour's Wife, nor his Servant, nor his Maid, nor his Ox, +nor his Ass, nor any Thing that is his. + +Q. _What dost thou chiefly learn by these Commandments_? + +_A_. I learn two Things: My Duty towards God; and my Duty towards +my Neighbour. + +Q. _What is thy Duty towards God_? + +_A_. My duty towards God, is to believe in him, to fear him, and +to love him, with all my Heart, with all my Mind, with all my Soul, +and with all my Strength; to Worship him, to give him Thanks, to +put my whole Trust in him, to call upon him, to honour his holy +Name and his Word; and to serve him truly all the Days of my Life. + +Q. _What is thy Duty towards thy Neighbour_? + +_A_. My Duty towards my Neighbour, is to love him as myself, and +to do to all Men as I would they should do unto me; to love, honour, +and succour my Father and Mother; to honour and obey the------, and +all that are put in authority under------; to submit myself to all +my Governors, Teachers, Spiritual Pastors, and Masters; to order +myself lowly and reverently to all my Betters; to hurt no Body by +Word or Deed; to be true and just in all my Dealings; to bear no +Malice nor Hatred in my Heart; to keep my Hands from Picking and +Stealing, and my Tongue from Evil-Speaking, Lying, and Slandering; +to keep my Body in Temperance, Soberness, and Chastity; not to +Covet nor Desire other Men's Goods, but to learn and labour truly +to get mine own Living; and to do my Duty in that State of Life +unto which it shall please God to call me. + +Catechist. _My good Child, know this, that thou art not able to do +these Things of thyself, nor to walk in the Commandments of God, +and to serve him, without his special Grace; which thou must learn +at all Times to call for by diligent Prayer. Let me hear, therefore, +if thou canst say the Lord's Prayer_? + +_A_. 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 that Trespass against us. And lead us not into +Temptation; but deliver us from Evil. _Amen_. + +Q. _What desirest thou of God in this Prayer_? + +_A_. I desire my Lord God our heavenly Father, who is the Giver of +all Goodness, to send his Grace unto me, and to all People, that +we may worship him, serve him, and obey him, as we ought to do. +And I pray unto God, that he will send us all Things that be +needful both for our Souls and Bodies; and that he will be merciful +unto us, and forgive us our Sins; and that it will please him to +save and defend us in all Dangers, ghostly and bodily; and that he +will keep us from all Sin and Wickedness, and from our ghostly +Enemy, and from everlasting Death. And this I trust he will do of +his Mercy and Goodness, through our Lord Jesus Christ And therefore +I say, _Amen_: So be it. + +Q. _How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church_? + +_A_. Two only, as generally necessary to Salvation; that is to say, +Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord. + +Q. _What meanest thou by this Word_ Sacrament? + +_A_. I mean an outward and visible Sign of an inward and spiritual +Grace, given unto us, ordained by Christ himself, as a Means +whereby we receive the same, and a Pledge to assure us thereof. + +Q. _How many Parts are there in a Sacrament_? + +_A_. Two: The outward visible Sign, and the inward spiritual Grace. + +Q. _What is the outward visible Sign, or Form in Baptism_? + +_A_. Water; wherein the Person is baptised, _In the Name of the +Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost_. + +Q. _What is the inward and spiritual Grace_? + +_A_. A Death unto Sin, and a new Birth unto Righteousness: For +being by Nature born in Sin, and the Children of Wrath, we are +hereby made the Children of Grace. + +Q. _What is required of Persons to be baptised_? + +_A_. Repentance, whereby they forsake Sin; and Faith, whereby they +stedfastly believe the Promises of God, made to them in that +Sacrament. + +Q. _Why then are Infants baptised, when, by Reason of their tender +Age, they cannot perform them_? + +_A_. Because they promise them both by their Sureties; which +Promise, when they come to Age, themselves are bound to perform. + +Q. _Why was the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper ordained_? + +_A_. For the continual Remembrance of the Sacrifice of the Death +of Christ, and of the Benefits which we receive thereby. + +Q. _What is the outward Part or Sign of the Lord's Supper_? + +_A_. Bread and Wine, which the Lord hath commanded to be received. + +Q. _What is the inward Part or Thing signified_? + +_A_. The Body and Blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed +taken and received by the Faithful in the Lord's Supper. + +Q. _What are the Benefits whereof we are Partakers thereby_? + +_A_. The strengthening and refreshing of our Souls by the Body and +Blood of Christ, as our Bodies are by the Bread and Wine. + +Q. _What is required of them who come to the Lord's Supper_? + +_A_. To examine themselves, whether they repent them truly of their +former Sins, stedfastly purposing to lead a new Life; have a lively +Faith in God's Mercy through Christ, with a thankful Remembrance of +his Death and be in Charity with all Men. + + + +PRAYERS _used in the_ ACADEMY _of the_ PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL +CHURCH, _in Philadelphia_. + + +LET US PRAY. + +_Lord have Mercy upon us_. + +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 that Trespass against us. And lead us not into Temptation; +but deliver us from Evil. AMEN. + +O Lord, our Heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, who hast +safely brought us to the Beginning of this Day; defend us in the +same with thy mighty Power, and grant that this Day we fall into no +Sin, neither run into any Kind of Danger; but that all our Doings +may be ordered by thy Governance, to do always what is righteous in +thy Sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. + +_But at Evening Prayer, instead of the foregoing Collect, the +following is to be used_. + +Lighten our Darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord, and by thy great +Mercy defend us from all Perils and Dangers of this Night, for the +Love of thy only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. AMEN. + +O God, the Creator and Preserver of all Mankind, we humbly beseech +thee for all Sorts and Conditions of Men; that thou wouldest be +pleased to make thy Ways known unto them, thy saving Health unto +all Nations. More especially we pray for the good Estate of the +Catholic Church; that it may be so guided and governed by thy good +Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be +led into the Way of Truth, and hold the Faith in Unity of Spirit, +in the Bond of Peace, and in Righteousness of Life. Finally, we +commend to thy fatherly Goodness all those who are any ways +afflicted or distressed in Mind, Body, or Estate; that it may +please thee to comfort and relieve them according to their several +Necessities, giving them Patience under their Sufferings, and a +happy Issue out of all their Afflictions: And this we beg for +Jesus Christ his sake. AMEN. + +Almighty God, Father of all Mercies, we thine unworthy Servants do +give thee most humble and hearty Thanks for all thy Goodness and +loving Kindness to us, and to all Men. We bless thee for our +Creation, Preservation, and all the Blessings of this Life; but +above all for thine inestimable Love in the Redemption of the World +by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the Means of Grace, and for the Hope +of Glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due Sense of all thy +Mercies, that our Hearts may be unfeignedly Thankful, and that we +may shew forth thy Praise, not only with our Lips, but in our Lives, +by giving up ourselves to thy Service, and by walking before thee +in Holiness and Righteousness all our Days, through Jesus Christ +our Lord; to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all Honour and +Glory, World without End. AMEN. + +Almighty God, who hast given us Grace at this Time with one Accord +to make our common Supplications unto thee, and dost promise that +when two or three are gathered together in thy Name, thou wilt +grant their Requests; fulfil now, O Lord, the Desires and Petitions +of thy Servants, as may be most Expedient for them; granting us in +this World Knowledge of thy Truth, and in the World to come Life +everlasting. AMEN. + +The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the +Fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. AMEN. + + + +Graces and Hymns. + + +GRACE before MEAT. + +The Eyes of all Things do look up and trust in thee, O Lord: Thou +openest thy Hand liberally, and fillest every living Thing. Good +Lord bless us, and all the Gifts which we receive from thee; +through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN. + + +GRACE after MEAT. + +The God of all Glory and Power, who hath created, redeemed, and +presently fed us, be blessed and praised, both now and for evermore. +AMEN. + + +_Song of the Angels at the Nativity of our blessed Saviour_, +Luke ii, from verse 8, to verse 15. + + While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night, + All seated on the Ground, + The Angel of the Lord came down, + And Glory shone around. + + "Fear not said he," for mighty Dread, + "Had seized their troubled Mind; + "Glad Tidings of great Joy I bring + "To you and all Mankind. + + "To you, in David's Town this Day, + "Is born, of David's Line, + "The Saviour who is Christ the Lord, + "And this shall be the Sign: + + "The heav'nly Babe you there shall find + "To human View display'd, + "All meanly wrapp'd in Swathing-bands, + "And in a Manger laid." + + Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith + Appear'd a shining Throng + Of Angels, praising God, and thus + Address'd their joyful Song: + + "All Glory be to God on high, + "And to the Earth be Peace: + "Good-Will, henceforth, from Heav'n to Men, + "Begin and never cease." + + +For EASTER-DAY. + + Since Christ, our Passover, is slain + A Sacrifice for all: + Let all with thankful Hearts agree + To keep the Festival: + + Not with the Leaven, as of old, + Of Sin and Malice fed; + But with unfeign'd Sincerity, + And Truth's unleaven'd Bread. + + Christ being rais'd by Pow'r Divine, + And rescu'd from the Grave, + Shall die no more, Death shall on him + No more Dominion have. + + For that he dy'd, 'twas for our Sins + He once vouchsaf'd to die: + But that he lives, he lives to God + For all Eternity. + + So count yourselves as dead to Sin, + But graciously restor'd, + And made henceforth alive to God, + Through Jesus Christ our Lord. + + To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, + The God whom we adore, + Be glory, as it was, is now, + And shall be evermore. + + +F I N I + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The A, B, C.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/30545.zip b/30545.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b356841 --- /dev/null +++ b/30545.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
