Almighty Father, who hast given thine only son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification: grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may alway serve thee in pureness of living, and truth, through the merits of the same thy son Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(( The Book of Common Prayer from the Original Manuscript: Attached to the Act of Uniformity of 1662 (London; Edinburgh; Glasgow; Melbourne; Sydney; New York: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1892), 157.))
