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.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Honour thy father and thy mother;
that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Thou shalt do no murder.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Thou shalt not steal.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
_Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law._
Thou shall 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

_Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our
hearts, we beseech thee._
¶ _Then may the Priest say,_
Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets.
¶ _Here, if the Decalogue hath been omitted, shall be said,_
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Christ, have mercy upon us._
Lord, have mercy upon us.
¶ _Then the Priest may say,_
O Almighty Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to
direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the
ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that,
through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be
preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. _Amen._
¶ _Here shall be said,_
The Lord be with you.
_Answer._ And with thy spirit.
_Minister._ Let us pray.
¶ _Then shall the Priest say the Collect of the Day. And after the
Collect the Minister appointed shall read the Epistle, first
saying,_ The Epistle is written in the —— Chapter of ——, beginning

Epistle.
¶ _Here may be sung a Hymn or an Anthem._
