A petition for peace with the reformation of the liturgy, as it was presented…

Answ. I will faithfully endeavour it by the help of God.

Then let the Minister pray thus, or to this sense. O Most merciful Father, by the first Adam, sin entered into ¹the world, and death by sin, and we are all by nature Children of Wrath; But thou hast given thy only Son to be the seed of the Woman, the Saviour of the World, the Captain of our Salvation, to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, and to wash us in his blood, and reconcile us unto thee, and to renew us by the Holy Ghost, and to bruise Satan under our feet: In him thou hast established the Covenant of grace, and hast appointed this Holy Sacrament of Baptism for our solemn Entrance into the Bonds of the Covenants, and stating us in the blessings of it, which thou extendest to the faithful and their seed. We dedicate and offer this Child to thee, to be received into thy Covenant and Church. We beseech thee to accept him as a member of thy Son, and wash him in his blood from the guilt of Sin, as the Flesh is washed by this water. Be reconciled to him, and take him for thy Child, renew him to the Image of thy Son, make him a fellow Citizen with the Saints, and one of thy Household. Protect him and provide for him as thy own, and finally preserve him to thy Heavenly Kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
