The Bishop. Will you then faithfully exercise yourself in the same Holy Scriptures, and call upon God by prayer for the true understanding of the same, so as you may be able by them to teach and exhort with wholesome doctrine, and to withstand and convince the gainsayers? Ans. I will so do, by the help of God. The Bishop. Are you ready with faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to God's word, and both privately and openly to call upon and encourage others to the same? Ans. I am ready, the Lord being my helper. The Bishop. Will you deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; that you may show yourself in all things an example of good works unto others, that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing to say against you? Ans. I will so do, the Lord being my helper. The Bishop. Will you maintain and set forward, as much as shall lie in you, quietness, love, and peace among all men: and such as shall be unquiet, disobedient, and criminal, within your district, correct and punish according to such authority as you have by God's word, and as shall be committed unto you? Ans. I will so do, by the help of God. The Bishop. Will you be faithful in ordaining, sending, or laying hands upon others? Ans. I will so be, by the help of God. The Bishop. Will you show yourself gentle, and be merciful, for Christ's sake, to poor and needy people, and to all strangers destitute of help? Ans I will so show myself, by God's help. +Then the Bishop shall say:+ Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, who hath given you a good will to do all these things, grant also unto you strength and power to perform the same; that, he accomplishing in you the good work which he hath begun, you may be found perfect and irreprehensible at the last day, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. +Then shall Veni, Creator, Spiritus be said:+ Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire. =And lighten with celestial fire.= Thou the anointing Spirit art, =Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart.= Thy blessed unction from above =Is comfort, life and fire of love,= Enable with perpetual light =The dullness of our blinded sight.= Anoint and cheer our soiled face =With the abundance of thy grace.= Keep far our foes, give peace at home =Where thou art guide no ill can come.= Teach us to know the Father, Son, =And thee of both, to be but one= That through the ages all along, =This may be our endless song;= Praise to thy eternal merit, =Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.= +That ended, the Bishop shall say+ Lord, hear our prayer. Ans. =And let our cry come unto thee.= +Bishop, let us pray.+
