temptation; but deliver us from the evil one.

And after the second lesson, throughout the whole year, shall be used Benedictus dominus deus Israel, etc. in
English as follows:

Benedictus. Luke i.

BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and redeemed His people,
And hath raised up an horn of salvation unto us, in the house of His servant David.
Even as He promised by the mouth of His holy prophets which were since the world
began,
That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us;
To fulfil the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant.
And to perform the oath which He sware to our father Abraham, for to give us
That we, delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, all
the days of our life, in such holiness and righteousness that are accept before Him.
And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the
face of the Lord, to prepare His ways;
And to give knowledge of salvation unto His people, for the remission of sins:
Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath
visited us.
To give light to them that sat in darkness and in shadow of death, and to guide our
feet into the way of peace.

Then shall be said daily through the year the prayers following, at Evensong as well as Matins, all devoutly kneeling.

Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

proper Lessons assigned for that day. After that, (Magnificat anima mea dominum) in English, as follows:

Magnificat. Luke i.

My soul magnifieth the Lord: and my spirit rejoiceth in God my Saviour.

For he hath looked on the poor degree of his handmaiden: behold now from henceforth
shall all generations call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is his name: and his mercy is
on them that fear him throughout all generations.
He sheweth strength with his arm, he scattereth them that are proud in the imagination of
their hearts.
He putteth down the mighty from their seats, and exalteth them of low degree: he filleth
the hungry with good things: and sendeth away the rich empty.
He remembereth mercy; and helpeth his servant Israel: even as he promised to our
fathers, Abraham and to his seed for ever.

Then a lesson from the New Testament. And after that (Nunc dimittis seruum tuum) Then a Lesson of the New
Testament, as it is appointed. And after that Nunc dimittis (or the Song of Simeon) in English, as follows.

Nunc dimittis. Luke ii.

LORD, now lettest thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy promise. For mine
eyes have seen the Saviour sent from Thee. Which Thou hast prepared before the face of
all people. A light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.
Then the suffrages appointed at Mattins, the clerics kneeling likewise, with three Collects. First of the day; Second for
Peace ; Third for aid against all Perils, as hereafter follows; which two last Collects shall be daily said at Evensong

Quicunque vult, etc.

Thus ends the order of Mattins and Evensong, through the whole year.
