Minister. Thou shalt not say that a Prince, or a Duke hath committed Murder.
Host. O ye Princes and Dukes be gracious unto us, and incline our hearts to set aside the law.
Minister. Thou shalt not say the Prince committeth adultery.
Host. O Prince be gracious unto us, and incline our hearts to pervert the law.
Minister. Thou shalt not hesitate to procure false witnesses against those whom we fear.
Host. O Ministers be mindful of us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
Minister. Thou shalt not covet the company of Reformers, nor be found with them, nor consent to any of their ways, nor be with their wives or servants, or any thing that is theirs.
Host. O Minister by the continuance of our Places, our Pensions, and our Sinecures, write all these thy laws in our hearts we beseech thee.
¶ Then shall follow the Collect for the Ministry belonging to the House of Lords.
Let us Pray. Mighty Prince whose kingdom may not be lasting; whose power is finite; Have mercy upon the whole Host; and be so ruled by thy chosen servants, Liverpool, Sidmouth, Eldon, and their associates, that they (knowing whose Ministers they are) may above all things aggrandize themselves and dependents; and that we (duly considering under whose authority we are) may faithfully serve, honour, and humbly obey them, in view of, and hoping for farther benefits, according to thy word and ordinance; through Castlereagh our Chief. Amen.
