In the Evening, when thou goest to bed, thou shall say:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Then, kneeling or standing, thou shalt say the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer.
Then mayest thou say this Prayer:
I give thanks unto Thee, Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ Thy dear Son, that Thou hast this day so graciously protected me, and I beseech Thee to forgive me all my sins, and the wrong which I have done, and by Thy great mercy defend me from all the perils and dangers of this night. Into thy hands I commend my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let Thy holy angel have charge concerning me, that the wicked one may have no power over me. Amen.
And then lie down, in peace, and sleep.
BLESSING AND THANKSGIVING AT TABLE.
In the plain form in which they are to be taught by the head of a family.
