The Collect

Almighty God, giver of all good things, who by your Holy Spirit has appointed diverse Orders of Ministers in your Church;¹

Mercifully behold this your servant, now called to the Work and Ministry of a Bishop:² and so replenish them with the truth of your Doctrine, and adorn them with innocency of life, that, both by word and good example, they may faithfully serve you in this Office, to the glory of your Name, and the edification of your Church; through the merits of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the same Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.³
