We beseech thee, almighty God, that thy servant N. our king, who by thy mercy hath received the government of this realm, may also receive increase of all virtues; that, adorned with them, he may avoid the enormity of vice, overcome his enemies, and come graciously unto thee, who art the way, the truth and the life. Amen.

O God, who by the grace of the Holy Ghost hast poured the gifts of charity into the hearts of thy faithful: grant to thy servants and handmaids, our brothers and sisters, for whom we beseech thy mercy, health of mind and body; that they may love thee with all their strength, and with all their love perform the things that please thee.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels and all just works do proceed: give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that both our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, the fear of our enemies being removed, our times may be peaceful under thy protection.
