Oyez, oyez, oyez, all Noble Lords and Honourable Members are admonished and enjoined to be respectfully upstanding!

Our Dread Sovereign Lord Alexander, by the Grace of God King of Hanover and Varennes, Duke of Gottingen, Defender of the Faith!”

We have gathered, O God the Holy Spirit, for a special purpose gathered together in Thy name. Come to us and be with us and enter our hearts. Teach us what we are to do; show us what we must accomplish, in order that, with Thy help, we may be able to please Thee in all things. Be Thou alone the author and the finisher of our judgments, Thou who art glorified with the Father and the Son. Do not allow us to disturb the order of justice, Thou who lovest equity above all things. Let not ignorance draw us into devious paths and let not partiality sway our minds.

Almighty God, by whom alone Kings reign, and Princes decree justice; and from whom alone cometh all counsel, wisdom, and understanding; we thine unworthy servants, here gathered together in thy Name, do most humbly beseech thee to send down thy Heavenly Wisdom from above, to direct and guide us in all our consultations; and grant that, we having thy fear always before our eyes, and laying aside all private interests, prejudices, and partial affections, the result of all our counsels may be to the glory of thy blessed Name, the maintenance of true Religion and Justice, the safety, honour, and happiness of the King, the publick wealth, peace and tranquillity of the Realm, and the uniting and knitting together of the hearts of all persons and estates within the same, in true Christian Love and Charity one towards another, through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.

Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings, with thy most gracious favour, and further us with thy continual help, that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy Holy Name, and finally by thy mercy obtain everlasting Life, through Jesus Christ our Lord who with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, Liveth and reigneth God, world without end. Amen.

Amen.

My Lords and Gentlemen, pray be seated.
