_Then by and by the King shall say_, I confess to God, to the blessed Virgin Mary, to all Saints, and to you, that I have sinned in thought, word, and deed through my fault; I pray Holy _Mary_, and all the saints of God and you, to pray for me. _The Chaplain shall answer and say_, Almighty God have mercy upon you, and pardon you all your sins, deliver you from all evil, and confirm you in good, and bring you to everlasting life. Amen. The Almighty and Merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, time for true repentance and amendment of life, with the grace and comfort of his Holy Spirit. Amen. _This done the Chaplain shall say_, The Lord be with you. _The King shall answer_, And with thy spirit. _The Chaplain_, Part of the Gospel according to St. Mark. _The King shall answer_, Glory to thee, O Lord. _The Chaplain reads the Gospel_: Last he appeared to those Eleven as they sat at the Table: and he exprobated their Incredulity and hardness of Heart, because they did not believe them that had seen him risen again. And he said to them: Going into the whole World, Preach the Gospel to all Creatures. He that believeth and is Baptised, shall be saved: But he that believeth not, shall be condemned. And them that believe, these Signs shall follow: In my name shall they cast out Devils, they shall speak with new tongues. Serpents shall they take up, and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall impose hands upon the sick, and they shall be whole. _Which last clause_ (They shall impose, etc.) _the Chaplain repeats as long as the King is handling the sick person. And in the time of repeating the aforesaid words_ (They shall impose, etc.) _the Clerk of the Closet shall Kneel before the King, having the sick person upon the right hand; and the sick person shall likewise kneel before the King: and then the King shall lay his hand upon the sore of the sick Person. This done, the Chaplain shall make an end of the Gospel_: And so our Lord Jesus after he spake unto them was assumpted into Heaven, and sate on the right hand of God. But they going forth preached everywhere; our Lord working withal, and confirming the Word with signs which followed. _Whilst this is reading, the Chirurgion shall lead away the sick person from the King. And after the Gospel the Chaplain shall say_, The Lord be with you. _The King shall answer_, And with thy spirit. _The Chaplain_, The beginning of the Gospel according to St. _John_. _The King_, Glory to thee, O Lord.
