1785] REV. WILLIAM SMITH, D. D. 1 23 



From the Rising of the Sun even unto the going down of the Same, my Name shall 

 be great among the Gentiles; and in every Place Incense shall be offertd unto my 

 Name, and a pure Offering : for my Name shall be great among the Heathen, saiih 

 the Lord of Hosts. Mai. i. il.

 thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer. Psal. xix. 14.

A declaration to be made by the Mmister alone, standing, concerning the forgive- 

 ness of sins. 



3d. That in the Lord's prayer, the word "who" be substituted in 

 lieu of "which;" and that "those who trespass" stand instead of 

 "them that trespass." 



4th. That the "Gloria Patri" be omitted after the " O come let us 

 sing, &c.," and in every other place, where, by the present Rubric, it 

 is ordered to be inserted, to "the end of the" reading psalms; when 

 shall be said or sung "Gloria Patri, &c.," or, "Glory be to God on 

 high, and in earth peace and good will towards men, &c.," at the dis- 

 cretion of the Minister. 



5th. That in the " Te Deum" instead of

adorable, true, and only Son, 

 and instead of

 it be 



didst humble thyself to be born of a pure Virgin. 



6th. That until a proper selection of Psalms be made, each Minister 

 be allowed to use such as he may choose. 



7th. That the same liberty be allowed, respecting the lessons. 



8th. That the article in the Apostles' creed " He descended into hell"

9th. That the Athanasian and the Nicene creeds be entirely omitted.

 to the words "O Lord show thy mercy upon us;" which the Minister 

 shall pronounce, still kneeling. 



nth. That in the suffrage "make thy chosen people joyful," the 

 word "chosen" be omitted; and also the following suffrages, to "O 

 God, make clean our hearts within us." 



12th. That the Rubric after these words "and take not thy Holy 

 Spirit from us," be omitted. Then the two collects to be said : in the 

 collect for grace, the words "be ordered," to be omitted; and the 

 word "be" inserted, instead of "to do alway that is."
