And in my thinking.

¶ 〈…〉  
I Am Sunday most honourable  
The heed of all the week days  
That day all things laborable  
Ought for to res●e/ & give praise  
To our Creator/ that always  
would have us rest after travail  
Man/ servant/ and thy beast he says  
And the other to thine avail.   

¶ 〈…〉  
Monday men ought me for to call.  
In which good works ought to begin  
Hearing mass/ the first deed of all  
Intending for to flee deadly sin  
This worldly goods truly to vynne  
with labour/ and true exercise  
For who of good works can not blin  
To his reward/ shall vynne Paradyse.   

¶ 〈…〉  
I tuesday am also named of Mars  
Called of gods armipotent  
I love never for to be scars  
Of works/ but always diligent  
striving against life indigent  
Being in this world/ or else where  
●o serve our lord/ with good intent  
As of duty/ we are bound here.   

¶ 〈…〉  
wednesday/ soothly is my name  
A mydes the week is my being  
wherein all virtues doth frame  
By the means of good living  
I do remember the heavenly king  
That was sold in my season  
I do work with true meaning  
Him for to serve/ as it is reason   

¶ 〈…〉  
I am the me●yest of seven  
Called thursday verily  
In my time the king of heaven  
Made his souper merely  
In form of bread/ gave his body  
To his Apostles/ as it is ●layne  
And then washed their feet meekly  
And went to Olivet mountain   

¶ 〈…〉  
Named I am devout friday.  
The which careth for no delight  
But to mourn/ fast/ deal and pray  
I do set all my hole appetite  
To think on the Jews despite  
How they did christ on the tree rent  
And thinking how I may be quite  
At the dreadful judgement   

¶ 〈…〉  
Saturday I am coming last  
trusting on the time well spent  
Having ever mind steadfast  
On that lord that harowed hell  
That he my sins will expel  
At the instance of his Mother  
whose goodness doth far excel  
whom I serve above all other amen.    

The commandments of 〈…〉 given by Moses'/ and expounded by 〈…〉 to our Mother tongue/ very necessary and expedient for Youth and all other for to learn and to know.  
¶ 〈…〉  
I Am the Lord thy god/ which have brought the out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage 〈…〉 Thou shalt have none other gods in my sight. 〈…〉 Thou shalt make the no graven Image: neither any similitude that is in heaven above or in the earth beneath/ or in the water that is beneath the earth. See that thou neither bow thyself to them: neither serve them. For I the lord thy god am a jealous god/ & visit the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me/ and yet show mercy to thousands among them that love me and keep my commandments.  
〈…〉 Hear Israel/ our lord god is one lord: and thou shalt love thy lord god with all thy heart/ with all thy Soul/ with all thy mind/ and with all thy strength. Thou shalt worship thy lord god/ & him only shalt thou serve.  
¶ 〈…〉  
Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless/ that taketh the name of the lord his god in vain. 〈…〉  
●Ye have herd how it was said to them of old tyme. Thou shalt not forswear thyself/ but shalt perform thine oaths to the Lord.  
●say unto you/ swear not at all: neither by heaven/ for it is god's seat/ nor by the earth/ for it is his foot stole/ neither by Jerusalem/ for it is the City of the great king. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head: because thou canst not make one white hear or a black. But let your communication be: yea/ eya & nay nay: for what soever is more than that/ cometh of evil.  
¶ 〈…〉  
remember the Sabbath day that thou sanctify it. 〈…〉 Syxe days mayst thou labour/ and do all that thou hast to do/ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy god. In it thou shalt do no manner work/ neither thou/ nor thy son/ nor thy daughter neither thy manservant/ nor thy maid servant/ nor thy cattles: nor yet the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth/ and the see/ and all that is in them/ and rested the seventh day wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day/ & hallowed it 〈…〉 It is leeful to do a good deed on the Sabbath day. For the son of man is lord even of the Sabbath day. The Lord saith by his prophet. 〈…〉 That his sabbath is hallowed and kept/ when we rest and cease to do our own will/ to follow our own ways/ & to speak our own words: when we in word/ thought/ and deed fulfil his well (I say) & not ours: and when we suffer him to do his works in us/ that at the last/ we may come to that Sabbath and true rest/ even eternal life/ which Chryst the Lord of the sabbath hath obtained for us by his blood.  
¶ 〈…〉  
honour thy Father and thy Mother/ that thy days may be long in the land which the lord thy god giveth the.  
●onour thy father and thy mother.  
〈…〉 Honour father and mother: this is the first commandment that hath any promise that thou mayst be in good estate: and live long on the earth. By this commandment christ teacheth us not only to have our father and mother in reverence/ and to obey them/ as he himself was subject unto his Mother the virgin Marry: but also to minister unto their necessities.  
¶ 〈…〉 Thou shalt not kill. Matth. v. Ye have herd how it was said unto them of the old tyme. Thou shalt not kill. who soever kyilleth shallbe in danger of judgement. But I say to you: who soever is angry with his brother shallbe in danger of judgement. who soever saith to his brother/ Racha: shallbe in danger of a counsel. But who soever saith: thou fool shallbe in danger of hell fire. 〈…〉 Ye have herd how it is said. Thou shalt love thy neighbour: and hath thine enemy. But I say unto you/ love your enemies/ bliss them that curse you/ do good to them that hath you pray for them that do you wrong and persecute you: that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven. For he maketh the son to arise on the evil and on the good: and sendeth his rain on the just and on the unjust.  
¶ 〈…〉  
Thou shalt not break wedlock. Math. v Ye have herd how it was said to them of old time/ thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say to you/ that who soever looketh on a wife/ lusling after her/ hath committed adultery with her all ready in his heart. 〈…〉 Let wedlock be had in price in all points/ and let thy chambre be undefiled/ for whore keepers and adulterers God will judge.  
¶ Thou shalt not steal. 〈…〉 Steal not: defraud no man. If any man will sue the at the law/ and take thy co●e from thee: let him have thy cloak also: give to him that asketh: and from him that would borrow: turn not away. 〈…〉 Now is there vtte●lye a fault among you: because ye go to law one with another? Why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather suffer ye not yourselves to be rob? yea/ even yourselves do wrong and rob and that the brothers. Ephesi. iiij. Let him that did steal/ steal no more/ but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing that he may have to give unto him that needeth.  
¶ Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbour. 〈…〉 Bear no false witness I say to you/ that of every idle word which men shall have spoken they shall give aecomptes at the day of judgement. 〈…〉 Wherefore put away lyng/ and speak every man truth to his neighbour/ for as much as we are membres one of another. Let not filth communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify with all/ when need is/ that it may have saumur with the hearers. Ephe. v. Let all bitterness/ fierceness and wrath/ roaring and cursed speaking/ be put away from you. Let no filthiness/ foolish talking/ nor jesting (which are not comely) be once named among you: but rather giving of thanks.  
¶ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house. Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbours wife: his man servant/ his maid his ox/ his ass/ or aught that is his. 〈…〉 What soever ye would that men should do to you: even so do ye to them. To love a man's neighbour as himself/ is a greater thing then all burnt offerings and sacrifices. Be not overcome with lust/ for the care of this world and the disceytfulnesse of riches choke te world.  
〈…〉 Let your conversation ●et without covetousness/ and be content with that that ye have all ready. Godliness is great riches/ if a man be content with that he hath. For we brought nothing in to the world/ and it is a plain case/ that we carry nothing out.  
When we have food and raiment/ let us there with be content. They that will be rich/ fall in to temptation and snares/ and in to many foolish and noisome lusts/ which drown men in perdition and destruction. For covetousness is the rote of all evil: which while some lusted after/ they erred from the faith/ and tangled themselves with many sorrows.  
●hese words which I command the this day shall be in thine heart/ and thou shalt whet them on thy children/ and shalt talk of them when thou art at home in thy house/ and as thou walkest by the way/ and when thou liest down/ and when thou risest up: and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand. And they shall be papers of remembrance between thine eyes/ and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house/ and upon thy gates.  
●…ake heed and hear all these woods which I command thee/ that it may go well with thee/ and with thy children after the for ever/ when thou dost that which is good and right in the sight of the lord thy god.  
〈…〉 Se thou do that which is right in the sight of the lord/ that thou mayst prosper.  
〈…〉 Ye shall do after nothing that we do here this day/ every man what seemeth him good in his own eyes. But what soever I command you/ that take heed ye do/ and put nothing thereto/ nor take ●…ght therefrom.  
〈…〉 Cursed be he that continueth not in all the words of this law/ to do them.  
〈…〉 If ye love me/ keep my commandments. 〈…〉 Happy are they that hear the word of god/ and keep it. 〈…〉 who soever shall keep the hole law/ and yet fail in one point/ he is guilty in al. For he that said. Thou shalt not commit adultery: said also: thou shalt not kill. 〈…〉 They that fear the lord keep his commandments.   

The symbol of Athanasius.  
¶ 〈…〉  
●hich faith/ but if every man will keep hole and inviolate: without doth he shall eternaly perish.  
●his truly is the very catholic faith/ that we worship one god in trinity: and the trinity in unity.  
neither confoundyng the persons: neither separating the substance.  
●he person of the Father is one/ the person of the son an other/ the person of the holy Ghost an other.  
●ut of the Father/ of the son/ and of the holy Ghost/ there is one divinity/ equal glory coeternal majesty e.  
●uche as is the Father/ such is the Son such is the holy Ghost.  
●he Father is uncreate/ the son uncreat/ the holy Ghost is uncreat.  
●he father is without measure/ the Son with out measure/ the holy ghost without measure.  
●he Father is everlasting/ the son everlasting/ the holy Ghost everlasting.  
●nd not withstanding there be not. iij. everlasting/ the holy Ghost everlasting.  
tuyn as there be not three uncreat: nor. itj. unmesurate/ but one uncreat/ et one unmesurate.  
likewise the Father is almighty/ the Son almighty, and the holy Ghost almighty.  
●nd yet they bet not three Almyghtyes/ but one god almighty.  
●o the Father is God/ the Son God/ the holy ghost is God.  
●nd yet they be not. iij god's/ but one god.  
●o the Father is a lord/ the son a lord/ the holy Ghost a lord.  
●nd yet they be not. iij. lords/ but one lord.  
●or as we be compelled by the Christian verity to confess separately every one person to be God and Lord.  
●o are we prohybite by the Catholic religion of Christ's faith to say that there be. iij. Gods or three lords.  
●he Father is made of none: neither created nor gotten.  
●he son is from the Father alone: neither made ne create/ but gotten.  
●he holy Ghost is from the Father/ and the son/ neither made created/ nor gotten but proceeding.  
●nd so there is but one Father/ not three Fathers/ one Son/ not three Sons/ one holy Ghost/ not three holy Ghosts.  
●nd in this trinity/ there is none before or after another/ nothing more or less: but all the three persons be coeterne/ and coequal to them self.  
●o that by always as now it hath been above said the trinity in unite/ and the unite in trinity may be worsshypped.  
●e therefore that will be saved/ let him understand thus of the trinity.  
●ut it is necessary unto everlasting health/ that every christian believe also faithfully the in carnation of our lord jesus christ.  
●t is therefore the right faith: that we believe & confess that our lord jesus christ the son of God/ is God and man.  
●e is god by the substance of the Father gotten before all worlds/ and he is man by the substance of his mother: borne in the world.  
●erfyte God: perfit man: being of a soul reasonable/ and offlesshe human.  
squall to the Father by his Godhead/ less than the Father by his manhood.  
which though he be God and man/ yet is there not twyane but one christ.  
truly he is one not by turning of his godhead in to manhed/ but by assumpting of his manhood in to godhead.  
●●ynge one to all intentes/ not by confusion of ●ub●ance/ but by unite of person.

The preface & the manner to live well.  
¶ 〈…〉  
FOr to begin the manner of salutary or health full living. And to come to perfection (how well I have more need to be instruct than for to teach other) yet keep these small doctrines here following to your powers. first rise up at vj. of the clock in the morning in all seasons and in your rising do as followeth. Thank our lord of test that he gave you that night, Commend you to god/ byssed lady saint marry/ and to that saint whilh is feasted that day/ and to all the saints of heaven. Secondly beseech god that he preserve the that day/ from deadly sin/ & at all other times. And pray him that all the works that other doth for you may be accept to the laud of his name/ of his glorious mother/ & of all the company of heaven. Uuhan high have arrayed you/ say in your chambre or lodging: maryns/ prime & hours if ye may. Than go to the church or ye do any worldly works if ye have no needful business & abide in the church the space of a low mass while where ye shall think and thank god of his benefits. Think a while on the goodness of god/ on his divine might and virtue. Think what gift he hath given to you to create you so nobly/ as to his image & likeness. Think also what grace he hath done to you in the sacrament of baptism/ cleansing your soul from sin. Think how many times ye have offended him sith ye were christened. Think how meekly he hath abiden your recourning from sin. Think from how many dangers he hath preserved your body and soul. Think how ill ye have be stowed the time that he hath given you to do●●naunte Think how many times he hath forgiven you inshryft/ et how many times ye have fallen to sin again. Think in what pain ye had bennow et ever if god had taken you out of this world when ye were in deadly sin. Think how dearly he bought you from the danger of the devil suffering continual pains in this world/ about the space of. xxxn. years going barefoot in cold & heat/ suffering hungers/ & thirst/ & many shameful ●●uryes & how dearly he redeemed you giving his p̄●●ous body/ his blood/ & his soul. & at this point consider all the pains of his woeful passion/ as god will give you grace Think also what pain his dear & glorious mother suffered all that while. consider his sharp judgement at the hour of death. And touching this death think osten the ron/ and that ye can not escape it/ nor knoweth when/ nor how, in what estate: nor what place nor time day: nor hour. Think than what shall become of the worldly goods that ye have gathered & spared with great labour & how loath ye shall be to leave them and all your friends & kinsfolk. a that more is when your soul in great pain shall leave your body to rot in the earth. consider than what shall become of your strength: be aute/ you the health & other wealth of the body. Think what the poor soul shall do when it goothalone without company where it was never Think what it shall do when it seeth the horrible enemies that would draw it to perdition if ye die in deadly sin. Think how woeful a journey it shall he when ye must yield a general reckoning of all your works/ words/ & thoughts without exception of any thing Think how god shall hive you grace. Think on the horrible pains of hell/ & on the cruel conpany of devils: where without end ye shall never/ have release if ye die in deadly sin. And think on the inestimable joy of the saints in heaven/ the which iche out lord hath promised you if ye live out of deadly sin: et love him above all thing. And have ye a perfit hope if yelyve well ye shall come to that glory. Amen. ¶  
And it by any other reasonable business ye may not be so long in the church/ at is it said here afore. yield thanks to god of his goodness. And thine on the residue in your house ones in the day or in the night if ye may.  
When ye are come fro the church take heed to your household or occupation till dinner tyme. And in so doing think some time that the pain that ye suffer in this world is nothing to the regard of the in fynite glory that ye shall have if ye take it meekly, Than take your refection or meal reasonably without excess or over moche for bearing of your meat for there is as much danger in to little as in to much if ye fast ones in a week it is enough/ beside vigilles & ymbre days out of lenten. And if ye tynhe the fasting be not good nor ꝓuffytable do by counsel Rest you after dinner an hour or half an hour as ye think best/ praying god that in that rest he will accept your health/ to the end that after it ye may serve him the more devoutly. The residue of the day bestow in your besinnesse to the pleasure of god. As touchyn your service say unto tiers a fore dinner. and make an end of all be fore supper. And when ye may/ say dirge. and commendations for all chrysted souls at the least way on the holy days and if ye have leaser say them on other days/ at the least with three lessons shrive you every week to your curate except ye have great let. and beware ye pass not a fortnight except very great let. If ye be of power refuse not your alms to the first poor body that asketh it of you that day. If ye think it needful. Take pain to here & keep the word of god. Confess you every day to god without fail/ of such sins as ye know that ye have done that day. consider often either by day or night when ye do a wake what our lord died at that hour the day of his blessed passion/ & where he was at that hour. Seek a god & saith full friend of god conversation to whom ye may discover your mind secrets Enqre & prove him well or ye trust in him. And when ye have well proved him do all by is counsel. Day little/ & follow wavous company. Eschew the fellow ship of them that ye would not be like. After all work praise & tanke god/ love him above all things/ & serve him & his glorious mother diligently. do to never there but that ye would were done to you love the wealth of another as your owns. And in going to your bed have some good taught either of the passion of our lord/ or of you sins/ or of the pains the soul's have purgatory. or some other good spiritual toughtes And than I hope your living shall be acceptable and pleasing to god.

The gospel of saint Luke.  
〈…〉  
THe Angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of galilee/ named Nazareth/ unto a virgin spoused to a man/ whose name was joseph/ of the house of David: and the virgins name was mary. And the angel went unto her and said. hail full of grace/ the lord is with thee/ blessed art thou among all women. When she saw him/ she was abashed at his saying/ and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be. And the angel said unto her. Fear not Mary/ for thou hast found grace with god. Loo/ thou shalt conceive in thy womb/ and shall bear a son/ and his name shall be called jesus. He shallbe great/ and shall be called the son of the highest. And the lord god shall give to him the seat of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of jacob for ever: and of his kingdom shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the Angel. How shall this be/ saying I know not a man● And the angel answered and said unto her. The holy ghost shall come upon thee/ and the power of the highest shall overshadow the. Therefore that holy thing which shall be borne/ shallbe called the son of god. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth. she hath also conceived a son in her old age. And this is her. vi. moaneth though she be called barren/ for with Bod shall nothing be unpossible. And Mary said. Behold the hand maydene of the lord/ be it unto me even as thou haste said. Thanks be to god.   

The gospel of saint Mathewe.  
¶ 〈…〉  
And thou Bethleem in the land of jewrye/ art not the least concerning the princes of juda. For out of the shall come a captain/ which shall gover ne my people of Israel. Then Herode privily call led the wise men/ & diligently inquired of them the time of the. Star that appeared: & sent them to Bethleem/ saying. Bo & sercheye diligently for the child/ & when ye have found him/ bring me word that I may come & worship him also. When they heard the king they departed. And loo the Star. which they saw in the east went before until it came & stood over the place where the child was. When they saw the Star they were marvelous glad/ & went in to the house & found the child with Mary is mother/ & kneel down & worshipped him/ & opened their treasures/ & offered unto him gifts. Bold/ Frankenscens/ and myrrh. And after they were warned of god in a dream/ that they should not go again to Herode/ they returned in to their own country by another way.   

They shall lay their hands on the sick/ & they shall recover. So the lord jesus after he had spoken to them was receive in to heaven/ and sitteth on the right hand of Bod. And they went forth and preached every where. And our lord wrought with them/ and confirmed the word with miracles that followed.  
¶ 〈…〉    

The passion.  
will ye that I lose unto you the king of jews? Then cried they all again saying. Not him/ but Barabas. That Barabas was a robber. Then pilate took jesus and scourged him. And the soul diours' wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him o purple garment/ and said: Nail king of the jews. And they smote him on the face. pilate went forth again and said unto them. Behold I bring him forth to you/ that ye may know/ that I find no fault in him. Then came jesus forth wearing a crown of thorn and a rob of purple. And pilate said unto them. Behold the man. When the high preesles and ministers saw him/ they cried/ saying crucify him/ crucify him. Pilate said unto them. Take ye him/ and crucify him. For I find no cause in him. The jews answered him. We have a law/ and by our law he ought to die/ because he made himself the son of god. When pilate heard that saying/ he was the more afraid: and said unto jesus: whence art thou? but jesus gave him none answer. Then said pilate unto him. Speakest thou not unto me. Known thou not that I have power to lose thee? jesus answered. Thou couldst have no power at all against me/ except it were given the from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee/ is more in sin. And from hens forth sought pilate means to lose him. But the jews cried/ saying. If thou let him go thou art not Caesar's friend. For who soever maketh himself a king/ is against Cesar. When pilate heard that saying/ he brought jesus forth/ & sat down to give sentence/ in a place called the Pavement but in the Hebrew tongue Babbatha. It was the Saboth even: which falleth in the Easter feast & above the syrte hour. And he said unto the jews: Behold your king. They cried/ away with him/ away with him. Crucify him. pilate said unto them. Shall I crucify your king.  
The high priests answered/ we have no king but Cesar. Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took jesus and led him away. And he bore his cross and went for to a place/ called the place of dead men's skulls (which is named in Hebrew/ Golgatha (where they crucified him. And with him two other/ on either side one/ and jesus in the mydes. pilate wrote his title/ and put it on the cross. The writing was. jesus of Nazareth/ king of the jues. This title red many of the Jews. For the place where jesus was crucified/ was nigh to the city. And it was wrytté in Hebrew/ Greek/ and latin. Then said the high priests of the jews to pilate/ writ not king of the jews: but that he said/ I am king of the jues. pilate answered. What I have written/ that have I written. Then the soldiers when they had crucified jesus/ took his garments and made. iiij. parts: to every soldier a part and also his cote. There was a cote without seem/ wrought open throughout. And they said one to another. Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it. That the scripture might be fulfilled/ which saith. They parted my raiment among them and on my co●e did cat lots.  
And the soldiers did such things in deed. There stood by the cross of jesus/ his mother/ & his mother's sister/ Marry the wife Cleophas: and Mary magdalene. When jesus saw his mother: and the disciple standing/ whom he loved/ he said unto his mother: woman/ behold thy son. Then said he to the disciple. behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her for his own. After that when jesus perceived that all things were performed/ that the scripture might be fulfilled he said/ I thirst. There stood a vessel full of vinegar by And they filled a sponge with vinegar/ and wound it about with ysope: and put it to his mouth. assoon as jesus had received of the by negre/ he said. It is finished. And bowed his head/ and gave up the ghost The jews then because it was the Saboth even/ that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Saboth day (for that Sabbath day was an high day) besought pilate that their legs might be broken/ and that they might be taken down.  
Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first/ and of the other/ which was crucified with jesus But when they came to jesus: and saw that he was dead already/ they broke not his legs but one of the soldiers with a spear/ thrust high mine to the side/ and forth with came out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record and his record is true And he knoweth that he saith true/ that ye might believe also. These things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled. Ye shall not break a bone of him. And again another scripture saith. They shall look on him/ whom they pierced. After that joseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of jesus but secretly for fear of the jews) besought pilate that he might take down the body of jesus. And pilate gave him licence. And there came also Nicodemus which at the beginning came to jesus by night/ and brought of myrrh and Aloes mine gled together: about an hundred pound weight Them took they the body of jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the odours/ as the manner of the Jews is to bury. And in the place where jesus was crucified/ was a garden/ & in the garden a new sepulchre/ where in was never man laid. There laid they jesus/ because of the jews Saboth even: for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.  
〈…〉 thou that suffereddest for us.  
〈…〉 orde have mercy on us. 〈…〉  
O Lord which haste displayed thine hands and feet/ & all thy body on a cross for our fins: and suffereddest the jews to set a crown of thorn on thy head/ in despite of thy most holy name. And for us sinners didst suffer fine grievous wounds/ give us this day & ever the use of light/ sense and understanding/ of penance/ abslynence/ patience/ humility/ chastity/ & a pure conscience evermore. By jesus christ/ saviour of the world. Which livest & reignest with the father/ & the holy ghost/ god: world without ends  

implored for thy great mercy and grace  
Help thy people that so fain would have  
Thy holy gospel preached in every place  
And that thy pastors thy flock may save  
From the danger of eternal fire  
Fro which all chyrsten men may pray & desire.

Uuherupon the same usual service that we call (Prime and hours) was first instituted to be said and song here in the Churches of England/ according to the Custom of Sarum. and somewhere after the use of York. And therefore when we read Hora prima/ tertia/ sexta/ and nona/ that is the first. the third the sixth/ and the ninth hour/ even as they make mention of several hours so were they and may be used at several times of the day/ to be said in remembrance of Christ's Passion/ and the compassion of the virgin his mother.

The seven Psalms.  
THy that these. seven. psalms following are called penitenciall/ and be chiefly noted above other/ the common opinion and mind of many writers is and hath been/ that the king & the Prophet David compunt and stricken with hearty repentance of his grievous adultery committed with Barsabe and the detestable murder of Urie her husband being his knight and servant (after he was admonished by Nathan the prophet of god) should make them specially to declare his inward sorrow/ and deep contrition that he took for the same: but whether it were done upon that occasion or not that I refer to the judgement of other/ because that in the Psalter they stand not together orderly: yet this is very certain that they may well and of good congruence be called penitenciall/ for so moche as penance in them is so diligently/ often/ and manifestly treated/ repeated/ and commended/ as in the self Psalms is easily perceived.

●Amercus bishop of Uienne: what time that a terrible earth quake fell in his province (Leo the first them being bishop of Rome) caused the people to assemble and to go together in a long array/ praying and calling upon god/ which thing we now call procession: because we use in the same to proceed or go forth. Hereof it came (that when any grievous plague was either sent by god among the people/ or any sudden cause of gladness changed/ procession hath always been used/ sometime to pacify god's wrath/ and sometime to thank him of his benefits/ for this cause Agapetus bishop of Rome first institute that procession should be done every sunday throughout the year. And after him Gregory in the time of a comen pestilence caused more solemn order and singing to be used theri & ordained this service called (Litany) which is a Greek word/ and asmuch in english to say/ as (supplication or prayer) whereof it hath taken his name: because that in our general processions and rogation days/ prayer and supplication is made unto god for the people: & for all estates/ according to the counsel of saint Paul. j Timoth. ij. and divers other examples of scripture.

The Dirige.  
¶ 〈…〉  
●He making of this service (that we call Dirige) some do ascribe to saint Isodore and some to saint Gregory but whether of them it was/ forceth not moche/ for certain it is/ that all that is contained therm (the collets except) may as well be applied for the living/ as for the dead Yet (as Platina writeth) Palagius/ bishop of Rome did first ordain the commemoration/ or praying for the dead. which thing (after the mind of Isodore was received as a tradition of the apostles. Howbeit S. Ambrose affirmeth/ that it was derived of an old custom had among the Hebrews/ which used long lamentation for the dead after their departing: as they did for jacob the space of. xl. days/ and for Moses. thirty But we that are under the new law/ are taught of god by the mouth of saint Paul his apostle/ not to mourn or be sorry for them that be departed in the faith of Chryst/ but to rejoice/ as in them that rest in the sleep of peace (for so is it daily remembered in the Mass) until they shall be called unto the last judgement. Nevertheless I think it very chartable/ and to proceed of a good & godly mind/ in that we use any worldly obsequys about the dead/ or do pray for them/ for saint Augustyn in his Enchiridion saith. It is not to be denied: but that the souls departed are greatly relieved by prayer. which use is very commendable for asmuch as it hath continued in the christian church even from the very infancy thereof.

commendations.  
¶ 〈…〉  
●His psalm following/ according to the number of the hebrew letters is divided in to. xxij. chapters/ which are called Octonaries: because every of them containeth eight uses. But why is it called the commendations of souls/ I moche marvel: For if they mean it of the souls departed/ then after my judgement do they greatly err/ namely sins it is/ nor can not otherwise be applied/ but either as a spiritual meditation of the righteous in the laws of god: or else to be the voice of those blessed souls/ which being risen with christ in a newness of life/ ●o continually cry and call upon him/ to be instructed and live after his word and commandment. For the understanding whereof two things are to be noted. The one/ that we do make therein a fervent & hearty petition unto god/ that he vouchsafe to teach/ direct and guide us in the way of justice and verity. The other/ that in all points touching our salvation/ we should in no wise cleave to the doctrines or ꝑsuations of men. And therefore is the hole psalm garnished with these words (thy law thy ways/ thy precepts/ thy judgements/ and such like) which glister every where: like to bright and radiant stars/ as who should say that all the laws/ ways/ and judgements of men are fallible/ and therefore not to be followed. Also it is a complaint of the godly congregation/ expressing how sore it grieveth them to see the laws of god rejected and set at nought/ & man's ways and inventions to be received in stead thereof: pronunsing them only to be blessed/ which walk in the way of the lord/ and are holy given to search his law/ being night and day earnestly occupied in divine studies. To all such doth his Psalms give high and singular commendations.

The argument of the Psalms of the Passion.  
¶ 〈…〉  
●Or as much as in these psalms following diverse prophecies concerning the passion/ death and resurrection of our saviour christ are contained/ therefore are they called Psalms of the passion: wherein David expressing/ & being the figure of christ/ doth first/ as it were in a song/ record and express his great dejection & downefal/ & after that his sudden exaltation and rising again/ the confusion of his adversaries the restoring of his kingdom with the increase and dilating of the same/ even to the uttermost part of the earth/ and finally the continuance thereof unto the worlds end. And even so did our mediator Chryst/ first suffer the death of the cross/ which to the face of the world was right shameful and slanderous/ and after that rose again with high glory and trymphe/  
when he had obtained victory against the devil/ death/ and sin/ & deliver his kingdom (which is the Church) from the straight obligation and bond of death in the which it was wrapped by the offence of Adam/ and destroyed the Church Malygnant/ the kingdom and synagogue of Satan with the mighty spirit of his mouth/ I mean the virtue of his everlasting word/ whereby he shall preserve and continue his said kingdom or Church unto the worlds end. which as he did at the beginning by his apostles/ so shall he by his true preachers dilate and extend the same in to all the costs of the world/ and at the latter resurrection/ shall deliver it up unto his father/ pure and unspotted/ to be immortally glorified in body and soul: even as verily as he himself arose again from death/ and ascended unto his father in body and soul eternally to reign with him in heaven.

grant I beseech the lord god/ that by the holy melody of this heavenly psalter/ my soul may be refreshed. Grant that the roaring lion may be overcome of the feeble sheep. Grant that by thy grace/ the most violent spirit may be subdued of the weak flesh. Grant that he/ which fell from heaven may be vanquysshed here through my fighting. Grant that though we abide his tyranny/ through thy sufferance for a season/ that yet we be not swallowed up with his unsatiable jaws. Cause him to be sorry for man's salvation/ which always rejoiceth at our fall. Cause me always to apply myself to thy praising/ and at length joyfully to come to thy blyssednes/ which livest and reignest god world without end. So be it.
