--[Then shall the Infirm Persons, one by one, be presented to the Queen upon_Rubrick._ their Knees; and, as every one is presented, and while the Queen is laying her Hands upon them, and putting the Gold about their necks, the Chaplain that officiates, turning himself to her Majesty, shall say these words following:]

God give a Blessing to this Work; and grant that _these_ Sick Persons, on whom the Queen lays her Hands, may recover, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

_Rubrick._--[After all have been presented, the Chaplain shall say,]

_Verse._--O Lord, save thy Servants;

_Resp._--Who put their Trust in Thee.

_Verse._--Send them Help from thy Holy Place.

_Resp._--And evermore mightily defend them.

_Verse._--Help us, O God of our Salvation.

_Resp._--And, for the Glory of thy Name deliver us, and be merciful to us Sinners for thy Name's Sake.

_Verse._--O Lord, hear our Prayers.

_Resp._--And let our Cry come unto Thee.

_Rubrick._--[These answers are to be made by them that come to be healed.]

Let us pray.

O Almighty God, who art the Giver of all Health, and the Aid of them that seek to thee for Succour, we call upon thee for thy Health and Goodness mercifully to be shewed upon these thy Servants, that they, being healed of their Infirmities, may give Thanks unto thee in thy Holy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

_Rubrick._--[Then the Chaplain, standing with his face towards them that come to be healed, shall say,]

The Almighty Lord, who is a most strong Tower to all them that put their Trust in him; to whom all things in Heaven, in Earth, and under the Earth, do bow and obey, be now and evermore your Defence; and make you know and feel, that there is none other Name under Heaven given to Man, in whom, and through whom, you may receive Health and Salvation, but only the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Grace of our Lord, &c. Amen.
