 other thy benefits & great mercies exhibited in Christ Jesus ; but

 and Commandments, that we altogether being thankfull unto Thee 

 for thy benefits received, may laud and magnifie thy holy Name, world 

 without end. Grant this O merciful Father for Jesus Christ's sake 

 our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
