y holy will is; and grant that I do nothing
this day, nor all the days of my life, which can divide me from thee.
For the Lord Jesus my Redeemer's sake. Amen.' After which the Lord's
Prayer. Then rapidly and vigorously (GESCHWINDE UND HURTIG) wash himself
clean, dress and powder and comb himself [we forget to say, that while
they are combing and queuing him, he breakfasts, with brevity, on tea]:
Prayer, with washing, breakfast and the rest, to be done pointedly
within fifteen minutes [that is, at a quarter past 7].

"This finished, all his Domestics and Duhan shall come in, and do family
worship (_das grosse Gebet zu halten_): Prayer on their knees, Duhan
withal to read a Chapter of the Bible, and sing some proper Psalm or
Hymn [as practised in well-regulated families]:--It will then be a
quarter to 8. All the Domestics then withdraw again; and Duhan now reads
with my Son the Gospel of the Sunday; expounds it a little, adducing

Majesty? This is very strict work.

MONDAY. "On Monday, as on all weekdays, he is to be called at 6; and so
soon as called he is to rise; you are to stand to him (ANHALTEN) that
he do not loiter or turn in bed, but briskly and at once get up; and
say his prayers, the same as on Sunday morning. This done, he shall as
rapidly as possible get on his shoes and spatterdashes; also wash his
face and hands, but not with soap. Farther shall put on his CASSAQUIN
[short dressing-gown], have his hair combed out and queued, but not
powdered. While getting combed and queued, he shall at the same time
