WHICH were first added at the last review, but not designed for a complete office, nor comprised in any particular method; but are all of them (except the two first alone, which are daily to be used in his Majesty’s navy) occasional forms, to be used as the circumstances of their affairs require; and are so very well adapted to their several occasions, that any one that observes them will see their suitableness without any illustration.
Forms of Prayer to Be Used at Sea.
A Rational Illustration of the Book of Common Prayer (('Charles Wheatly', 1720))
The Morning and Evening Service to be used daily at Sea shall be the same which is appointed in the Book of Common Prayer.
These two following Prayers are to be also used in her Majesty's Navy every day.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Psalm 66
Jubilate Deo.
O be joyful in God, all ye lands:
sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.
Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works:
through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.
For all the world shall worship thee:
sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
O come hither, and behold the works of God:
how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.
He turned the sea into dry land:
so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people:
and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.
O praise our God, ye people:
and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Who holdeth our soul in life:
and suffereth not our feet to slip.
For thou, O God, hast proved us:
thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the snare:
and laidest trouble upon our loins.
Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads:
we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings:
and wilt pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.
I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams:
I will offer bullocks and goats.
O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God:
and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.
I called unto him with my mouth:
and gave him praises with my tongue.
If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart:
the Lord wilt not hear me.
But God hath heard me:
and considered the voice of my prayer.
Praised be God who hath not cast out my prayer:
nor turned his mercy from me.

Psalm 66:1-20
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Psalm 107
Confitemini Domino.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious:
and his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed:
and delivered from the hand of the enemy;
And gathered them out of the lands, from the cast, and from the west:
from the north, and from the south.
They went astray in the wilderness out of the way:
and found no city to dwelt in;
Hungry and thirsty:
their soul fainted in them.
So they cried unto the Lord in their trouble:
and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them forth by the right way:
that they might go to the city where they dwelt.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness:
and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
For he satisfieth the empty soul:
and filteth the hungry soul with goodness.
Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death:
being fast bound in misery and iron;
Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord:
and lightly regarded the counsel of the most Highest;
He also brought down their heart through heaviness:
they fell down, and there was none to help them.
So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble:
he delivered them out of their distress.
For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death:
and brake their bonds in sunder.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness:
and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
For he hath broken the gates of brass:
and smitten the bars of iron in sunder.
Foolish men are plagued for their offence:
and because of their wickedness.
Their soul abhorred all manner of meat:
and they were even hard at death's door.
So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble:
he delivered them out of their distress.
He sent his word, and healed them:
and they were saved from their destruction.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness:
and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving:
and tell out his works with gladness!
They that go down to the sea in ships:
and occupy their business in great waters;
These men see the works of the Lord:
and his wonders in the deep.
For at his word the stormy wind ariseth:
which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep:
their soul melteth away because of the trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man:
and are at their wit's end.
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble:
he delivereth them out of their distress.
For he maketh the storm to cease:
so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad, because they are at rest:
and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness:
and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people:
and praise him in the seat of the elders!
Who turneth the floods into a wilderness:
and drieth up the water-springs.
A fruitful land maketh he barren:
for the wickedness of them that dwelt therein;
Again, he maketh the wilderness a standing water:
and water-springs of a dry ground.
And there he setteth the hungry:
that they may build them a city to dwelt in;
That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards:
to yield them fruits of increase.
He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly:
and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
And again, when they are minished, and brought tow:
through oppression, through any plague, or trouble;
Though he suffer them to be evil intreated through tyrants:
and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness:
Yet helpeth he the poor out of misery:
and maketh him households like a flock of sheep.
The righteous wilt consider this, and rejoice:
and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped.
Whoso is wise will ponder these things:
and they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord.

Psalm 107:1-43
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
