Saint Peter also doth instruct you very well, thus saying; Ye wives,
be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the
word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of
the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with
fear. Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which
is not corruptible; even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner
in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands; even as
Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye are as
long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
| _The concluding address may be omitted, and unless the holy
Communion_ _immediately follow, the congregation may be dismissed
with_ _a Benediction_.
_It is convenient that the new-married persons should receive the
holy Communion at the time of their Marriage, or at the first
opportunity after their Marriage_.
THE ORDER FOR
THE VISITATION OF THE SICK
_When any person is sick, notice shall be given thereof to the
Minister of the Parish; who, coming into the sick person's house,
shall say_,
Peace be to this house, and to all that dwell in it.
_When he cometh into the sick man's presence he shall say, kneeling
down_,
Remember not, Lord, our iniquities, nor the iniquities of our
forefathers: Spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast
redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us
for ever.
_Answer_. Spare us, good Lord.
_Then the Minister shall say_,
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Christ, have mercy upon us_.
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.
_Minister_. O Lord, save thy servant;
_Answer_. Which putteth _his_ trust in thee.
_Minister_. Send _him_ help from thy holy place;
_Answer_. And evermore mightily defend _him_.
_Minister_. Let the enemy have no advantage of _him_;
_Answer_. Nor the wicked approach to hurt _him_.
_Minister_. Be unto _him_, O Lord, a strong tower;
_Answer_. From the face of _his_ enemy.
_Minister_. O Lord, hear our prayers.
_Answer_. And let our cry come unto thee.
_Minister_.
O Lord, look down from heaven, behold, visit, and relieve this thy
servant. Look upon _him_ with the eyes of thy mercy, give _him_
comfort and sure confidence in thee, defend _him_ from the danger
of the enemy, and keep _him_ in perpetual peace and safety; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
