all adversities and errors being removed, thy Church may freely and securely serve thee; through, etc.
FOR ALL DEGREES OF MEN IN THE CHURCH.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is sanctified and governed, mercifully hear our humble supplications for all degrees and orders therein; that by the gift of thy grace, all, in their several stations, may faithfully serve thee; through, etc.
FOR THE POPE.
O GOD, the Pastor and Governor of all the faithful, mercifully look upon thy servant N., whom thou hast been pleased to appoint the pastor of thy Church; grant, we beseech thee, that both by word and example he may edify those over whom he is set; and, together with the flock committed to his care, may attain everlasting life; through, etc.
FOR THE KING OR QUEEN.
WE beseech thee, O Almighty God, that thy servant Victoria our Queen, who, by thy mercy, has received the government of this kingdom, may receive also an increase of all virtues; wherewith being adorned, she may be able both to avoid the enormity of sin [vanquish her enemies ], and being made acceptable in thy sight, may come unto thee, who art the way, the truth, and the life; through, etc.
FOR BISHOPS, AND THE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO THEM.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who alone doest great marvels, send down upon thy servants the Bishops of thy Church [especially N. our Bishop], and all congregations committed unto them, the spirit of thy saving grace; and that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing; through, etc.
