After the manner that a Father takes pity of his sons; so has the Lord taken pity of those who feare him;* because he knows what we are made of. He remembers that we are but dust. Man, like hay, such are his days;* like the flower in the field, so wil he fade away. Because his breath wil passe away through him, and he wil not be able to subsist,* and it wil find no longer its owne place. But the mercy of the Lord is from all eternity;* and wil be for ever upon those who feare him. And his iustice comes upon the children of their children,* to those who keep his wil. And are mindful of his commandments,* to performe them. The Lord in heaven has prepared himself a throne, and his kingdom shall reign over all. Blesse yee the Lord, all yee Angels of his; yee who are powerful in strength:* who execute his commands, at the hearing of his voice when he speakes. Blesse yee the Lord, all yee vertues of his:* yee Ministers who execute his wil. Blesse yee the Lord, all yee works of his throughout all places of his dominions:* my Soule praise thou the Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,* and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, and now and ever,* and for ever and ever. Amen. Wee humbly implore, O merciful God, thy infinit clemency; that as we come to Thee with a confident soule, and sincere faith, and a pious assurance of mind: with the like devotion thy beleevers may follow on these tokens of thy grace. May all superstition be banished hence; far be all suspicion of any diabolical fraud; and to the glory of thy name let all things succeede: to the end thy beleevers may understand Thee to be the dispenser of all good; and may be sensible, and publish, that whatsoever is profitable to soule or body, is derived from Thee: through Christ our Lord. Amen. These Prayers being said, the King's Highnes rubbeth the Rings between his hands, saying, Sanctify, O Lord, these Rings, and graciously bedew them with the dew of thy benediction, and consecrate them by the rubbing of our hands, which thou hast been pleased according to our ministery to sanctify by an external effusion of holy oyle upon them: to the end that what the nature of the mettal is not able to performe, may be wrought by the greatnes of thy grace: through Christ our Lord. Amen. Then must holy water be cast on the Rings, saying, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
