PRAYER WITH THANKSGIVING,
To be used yearly upon the Fifth Day of November,

For the happy Deliverance of King JAMES I. and the Three Estates of

¶ The Minister of every Parish shall give warning to his Parishioners in the
m Church at Morning Prayer, the Sunday before, for the due Observation of the m said Day. And after Morning Prayer, or Preaching, upon the said Fifth Day of m November, read publickly, distinctly, and plainly, the Act of Parliament, made m in the third Year of King James the First, for the Observation of it.

m They have privily laid their net to destroy me without a cause : yea,

even without a cause have they made a pit for my soul. Psal. xxxv. 7.
m They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my soul : they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it themselves. Psal. lvii. 7.

¶ In the Suffrages after the Creed m these shall be inserted and used for m the Queen.
m Priest. O Lord, save the Queen n ;
m People. Who putteth her trust in thee.
m Priest. Send her help from thy holy place.
m People. And evermore mightily defend her.
m Priest. Let her enemies have no advantage against her.

¶ Instead of the first Collect at m Morning Prayer shall these two be m used.
A LMIGHTY God, who hast in all ages shewed thy Power and Mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverances of thy Church, and in the protection of righteous and religious Kings and States professing thy holy and eternal truth, from the wicked conspiracies, and malicious practices of all the enemies there- of n : We yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise, for the wonder- ful and mighty Deliverance of our gracious Sovereign King James the First, the Queen, the Prince, and all the Royal Branches, with the Nobility, Clergy, and Commons of England, then assembled in Parliament, by Popish treachery appointed as sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and savage manner beyond the examples of former ages. From this unnatural Conspir- acy, not our merit, but thy mercy n ; not our foresight, but thy providence delivered us n : And therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from generation to generation n ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A CCEPT also, most gracious God, of our unfeigned thanks for filling our hearts again with joy and glad- ness, after the time that thou hadst afflicted us, and putting a new song into our mouths, by bringing His Majesty King William, upon this day, for the Deliverance of our Church and Nation from Popish Tyranny and arbitrary power. We adore the wisdom and justice of thy Providence, which so timely inter- posed in our extreme danger, and disappointed all the designs of our enemies. We beseech thee, give us such a lively and lasting sense of what thou didst then, and hast since that time done for us, that we may not grow secure and careless in our obedience, by

presuming upon thy great and undeserved goodness n ; but that it may lead us to repentance, and move us to be the more diligent and zealous in all the duties of our Religion, which thou hast in a marvellous manner preserved to us. Let truth and justice, brotherly kindness and charity, devotion and piety, concord and unity, with all other virtues, so flourish among us, that they may be the stability of our times, and make this Church a praise in the earth. All which we humbly beg for the sake of our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.

¶ In the end of the Litany (which shall m always this Day be used) after the m Collect [We humbly beseech thee, O m Father, &c.] shall this be used which m followeth.

A LMIGHTY God and hea venly Father, who of thy gracious Provid- ence, and tender mercy towards us, didst prevent the malice and imaginations of our enemies, by discovering and confounding their horrible and wicked Enterprize, plotted and intended this day to have been executed against the King, and the whole State of England, for the subversion of the Government and Religion established among us n ; and didst likewise upon this day wonderfully conduct thy Servant King William, and bring him safely into England, to preserve us from the attempts of our enemies to be- reave us of our Religion and Laws: We most humbly praise and magnify thy most glorious Name for thy unspeakable goodness towards us, expressed in both these acts of thy mercy. We confess it has been of thy mercy alone, that we are not consumed n : For our sins have cried to heaven against us; and our iniquities justly called for vengeance upon us. But thou hast not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us after our iniquities n ; nor given us over, as we deserved, to be a prey to our enemies n ; but hast in mercy delivered us from their malice, and preserved us from death and de- struction. Let the consideration of this thy repeated goodness, O Lord, work in us true repentance, that iniquity may not be our ruin. And increase in us more and more a lively faith and love, fruitful in all holy obedience; that thou mayest still continue thy favour, with the light of thy Gospel, to us and our posterity for evermore; and that for thy dear Son's sake, Jesus Christ our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen .

GUNPOWDER TREASON

¶ Instead of the Prayer [In time of War m and Tumults] shall be used this m Prayer following.
O Lord, who didst this day discover the snares of death that were laid for us, and didst wond- erfully deliver us from the same n ; Be thou still our mighty Protector, and scatter our enemies that de- light in blood n : Infatuate and de- feat their counsels, abate their pride, asswage their malice, and confound their devices. Strength- en the hands of our gracious Sovereign Queen VICTORIA, and all that are put in authority under her, with judgement and justice to cut off all such workers of iniquity, as turn Religion into Rebellion, and Faith into Faction n ; that they may never prevail against us, or triumph in the ruin of thy Church among us n : but that our gracious Sovereign, and her Realms, being preserved in thy true Religion, and by thy merciful goodness protected in the same, we may all duly serve thee, and give thee thanks in thy holy con- gregation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
¶ In the Communion, instead of the m Collect for the Day, shall this which m followeth be used.
E TERNAL God, and our most mighty Protector, we thy unworth- y servants do humbly present our- selves before thy Majesty, ac- knowledging thy power, wisdom, and goodness, in preserving the King, and the Three Estates of the Realm of England assembled in Parliament, from the destruction this day intended against them. Make us, we beseech thee, truly thankful for this, and for all other thy great mercies towards us n ; particularly for making this day again memorable, by a fresh inst- ance of thy loving-kindness to- wards us. We bless thee for giving his late Majesty King William a safe arrival here, and for making all opposition fall before him, till he became our King and Govern- our. We beseech thee to protect and defend our Sovereign Queen VICTORIA, and all the Royal Family, from all treasons and conspiracies n ; Preserve her in thy faith, fear, and love n ; Prosper her Reign with long happiness here on earth n ; and crown her with ever- lasting glory hereafter n ; through Jesus Christ our only Saviour and Redeemer. Amen.

mmm The Epistle. Rom. xiii. 1.
L E T every soul be subject unto the higher powers n ; for there is no power, but of God n : the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God n ; and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power n ? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same n : for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid n ; for he beareth not the sword in vain n : for he is the minister of God, a reven- ger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tri- bute also n ; for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render there- fore to all their dues n ; tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.

mm The Gospel. St. Luke ix. 51.
A ND it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face n ; and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him n : And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did n ? But he turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of n : For the Son of man is not come to de- stroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
¶ After the Creed, if there be no m Sermon, shall be read one of the six m Homilies against Rebellion.
¶ This Sentence is to be read at the m Offertory.
W HATSOEVER ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them n ; for this is the Law and the Prophets. St. Matth. vii. 12.

GUNPOWDER TREASON
¶ After the Prayer for the Church m Militant this following Prayer is to m be used. O God, whose Name is excellent in all the earth, and thy glory above the heavens n ; who on this day didst miraculously preserve our Church and State from the secret contrivance and hellish malice of Popish conspirators n ; and on this day also didst begin to give us a mighty deliverance from the open tyranny and oppression of the same cruel and blood- thirsty enemies n : We bless and adore thy glorious Majesty, as for the former, so for this thy late marvellous loving- kindness to our	Church and Nation, in the preservation of our Religion and Liberties. And we humbly pray, that the devout sense of this thy repeated mercy may renew and increase in us a spirit of love and thankfulness to thee its only Author n ; a spirit of peaceable submission and obedience to our gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen *VICTORIA* n ; and a spirit of fervent zeal for our holy Religion which thou hast so wonderfully rescued, and established, a blessing to us and our posterity. And this we beg for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.
