Augustine baptising Ethelbert
Almighty and everlasting God, who didst strengthen Saint Augustine to bring the English people, by his travail, unto the faith and grace of Christ: Grant to thy servants in this age a like courage that, by the pure witness of faith and well–doing, thy knowledge and Name may be enlarged upon the earth; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
¶ Or this:
Almighty God, who of thy tender mercy didst send thy servant Augustine to preach the Gospel to our fathers: Grant to us their children both to follow the holy doctrine which he taught, and with courage and love to declare thy name unto the heathen; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
