T hath been the wifdom of the Church of England, ever fince the firft compiling of her Publick Li- turgy, to keep the mean between the two extremes, of too much ftiffnefsin refufing, and of too much eafinels in admitting any variation from it. For, as on the one fide common experience Iheweth, that where a change hath been made of things advifedly eftablifhed (no evident necefiity fo requiring) fundry inconveniences have thereupon enfued ; and thofe many times more and greater than the evils, that were intended to be remedied by fuch change : So on the other fide, the particular Forms of Divine worfhip, and the Rites and Ceremonies appointed to be ufed therein, being things in their own nature indifferent, and alterable, and fo acknowledged ; it is but reafonable, that upon weighty and important confiderations, according to the various exigency of times and occafions, fuch changes and alterations ftiould be made therein, as to thofe that are in place of Authority fhould from time to time feem either neceflary or expedient. Ac- cordingly we find, that in the Reigns of feveral Princes of blef- fed memory fince the Reformation, the Church, upon] juft and weighty confiderations her thereunto moving, hath yielded to make fuch alterations in fome particulars, as in their re- fpedtive times were thought convenient: Yet fo, as that the main Body and Efientials of it (as well in the chiefeft mate- rials, as in the frame and order thereof) have ftill continued the fame until this day, and do yet /land firm and unlhaken, notwithftanding all the vain attempts and impetuous alFaults made againft it, by fuch men as are given to change, and have always difcovered a greater regard to their own private fan- cies and interefts, than to that duty they owe to the publick. By what undue means, and for what mifchicvous purpofes the ufe of the Liturgy (though enjoined by the Laws of the Land, and thofe Laws never yet repealed) came, during the late unhappy confufions, to be difcontinued, is too well known to the world, and we are not willing here to remember. But when, upon His Majefty's happy ReAoration, it feemed proba- ble, that, amongft other things, the ufe of the Liturgy would alfo return of courfe (the fame having never been legally aboliftied) The Preface. unlefs ibme timely means were ufed to prevent it ; thofe men who under the late ufurped powers had made it a great part of their bufinefs to render the people difaffected thereunto, faw themfelves in point of reputation and intereft concerneo (unlefs they would freely acknowledge themfelves to have erred, which fuch men are very hardly brought to do) with their utmoft endeavours to hinder the reftitution thereof. In order whereunto divers Pamphlets were published againft the Book of Common Prayer, the old objections muftered up, with the addition of fome new ones, more than formerly had been made, to make the number fwell. In fine, great importuni- ties were ufed to His Sacred Majefty, that the faid Book might be revifed, and fuch Alterations therein, and Addi- tions thereunto made, as fliould be thought requifite for the eafe of tender Confciences : whereunto His Majefty, out of his pious inclination to give fatisfaction (fo far as could be reafonably expected) to all his fubjects of what perfuafion fo- ever, did gracioufly condefcend. In which review we have endeavoured to obferve the like moderation, as we find to have been ufed in the like cafe in rbrmer times. And therefore of the fundry Alterations pro- pofed unto us, we have rejected all fuch as were either of dangerous confequence(as fecretly ftriking at fome eftablifhed Doctrine, or laudable Practice of the Church of England, or indeed of the whole Catholic Church of Chrift) or elfe of no confequence at all, but utterly frivolous and vain. But fuch Alterations as were tendered to us (by what perfons, under what pretences, or to what purpofe foever tendered) as feemed to us in any degree requifite or expedient, we have willingly, and of our own accord afiented unto : not enforced fo to do )y any ftrength of Argument, convincing us of the neceflity of making the faid Alterations : For we are fully perfuaded in our judgements (and we here profefs it to the world) that the Book, as it flood before eftabliflied by Law, doth not con- tain in it any thing contrary to the Word of God, or to found Doctrine, or which a godly man may not with a good Con- fcience ufe and fubmit unto, or which is not fairly defenfible againft any that fliall oppofe the fame ; if it fliall be allowed fuch juft and favourable conftruction as in common equity ought to be allowed to all human Writings, efpecially fuch The Preface. as are let forth by Authority, and even to the very bell tranf- lations of the holy Scripture itfelf. Our general aim therefore in this undertaking was, not to gratify this or that party in any their unreafonable demands ; but to do that, which to our bed underftandings we conceived might moft tend to the preservation of Peace and Unity in the Church ; the procuring of Reverence, and exciting of Piety and Devotion in the publick Worfhip of God ; and the cut- ting offoccafion from them that feek occafion of cavil or quar- rel againft the Liturgy of the Church. And as to the feveral variations from the former Book, whether by Alteration, Ad- dition, or otherwife, it fliall fuffice to give this general account, That moft of the Alterations were made, either firft, for the better direction of them that are to officiate in any part of Divine Service ; which is chiefly done in the Calendars and Kubricks: Or fecondly, for the more proper exprefling of fome words or phrafes of ancient ufage in terms more fuita- ble to the language of the prefent times, and the clearer ex- planation of fome other worus and phrafes, that were either of doubtful fignification, or otherwife liable to mifconftruc- tion : Or thirdly, for a more perfect rendering of fuch por- tions of holy Scripture, as are inierted into the Liturgy ; which, in the Epiftles and Golpels efpecially, and in fundry other places, are now ordered to be read according to the laft Tranf- lation : and that it was thought convenient, that fome Prayers and Thankfgivings, fitted to fpecial occafions, fhould be added in their due places; particularly for thofe at Sea, together with an Office for the Baptifm of fuch as are of riper years : which, although not fo neceflary when the former Book was compiled, yet by the growth of Anabaptifm, through the licentioufnefs of the late times crept in amongft us, is now become necefiary, and may be always ufeful for the baptizing of Natives in our Plantations, and others converted to the Faith. If any man, who fliall defire a more particular account of the feveral Alterations in any part of the Liturgy, (hall take the pains to compare the prefent Book with the former ; we doubt not but the reafon of the change may eafily appear. And having thus endeavoured to difcharge our duties in this weighty affair, as in the fight of God, and to approve our fincerity therein (fo far as lay in us) to the confciences of a Service of the Church. men ; although we know it impoflible (in fuch variety of ap- prehenfions, humours and interefts, as are in the world) to pleafe all ; nor can expedl that men of factious, peevifh, and perverfe fpirits fhould be fatisfied with any thing that can be done in this kind by anyother than themfelves : Yet we have good hope, that wfut is here prefented, and hath been by the Convocations of both Provinces with great diligence examined and approved, will be alfo well accepted and approved by all fober, peaceable, and truly conlcientious Sons of the Church of England, Concerning the Service of the Church. 'HERE was never any thing by the wit of man fo well devifed, or fo fure eitabli/hed, which in con- tinuance of time hath not been corrupted : As, among other things, it may plainly appear by the Common Prayers in the Church, commonly called Di-vine Ser- vice. The firft original and ground whereof if a man would fearch out by the ancient Fathers, he fliall find, that the fame was not ordained but of a good purpofe, and for a great ad- vancement of godiinefs. For they fo ordered the matter, that all the whole Bible (or the greateft part thereof) fhould be read over once every year ; intending thereby, that the Clergy, and efpecially fuch as were Minifters in the congregation, fhould (by often reading, and meditation in God's word) be ftirred up to godlinefs themfelves, and be more able to exhort others by vvholefome Doftrine, and to confute them that were adver- faries to the Truth ; and further, that the people (by daily hearing of holy Scripture read in the Church) might contin- ually profit more and more in the knowledge of God, and be the more inflamed with the love of his true Religion. But thefe many years parted, this godly and decent order of the ancient Fathers had been fo altered, broken, and neglected, by planting in uncertain Stories, and Legends, with multitude of Relponds, Vedes, vain Repetitions, Commemorations, and Synodals ; that commonly when any Book of the Bible was Concerning the Service begun, after three or four Chapters were read out, all the reft were unread. And in this fort the Book of Ifaiah was begun in Ad-vent, and the Book of Gene/is in Septuagejima ; but they were only begun, and never read through : After like fort were other Books of holy Scripture ufed. And moreover, whereas St. Paul would have fuch language fpoken to the people in the Church, as they might underftand, and have profit by hearing the fame; The Service in this Church of England thefe many years hath been read in Latin to the peo- ple, which they underftand not ; fo that they have heard with their ears only, and their heart, fpirit, and mind, have not been edified thereby,, And furthermore, notwithftanding that the ancient Fathers have divided the Pfalms into feven por- t ons, whereof every one was called a NoElurn : Now of late time a few of them have been daily faid, and the reft utterly omitted. Moreover, the number and hardnefs of the Rules called the Pie, and the manifold changings of the Service, was the caufe, that to turn the Book only was fo hard and intricate a matter, that many times there was more bufinefs to find out what fhouid be read, than to read it when it was found out. Thefe inconveniences therefore confidered, here is fet forth fuch an Order, whereby the fame fhall be redrefled. And for a readinefs in this matter, here is drawn out a Calendar for that purpofe, which is plain and eafy to be underftood ; wherein (fo much as may be) the reading of holy Scrip- ture is fo fet forth, that all things fhall be done in order, with- out breaking one piece from another. For this caufe be cut off Anthems, Refpo.nds, Invitatories, and fuch like things as did break the continual courfe of the reading of the Scripture. Yet, becaufe there is no remedy, but that of neceflity there muft be fome Rules ; therefore certain Rules are here fet forth ; which, as they are few in number, fo they are plain and eafy to be underftood. So that here you have an Order for Prayer, and for the reading of the holy Scripture, much agreeable to the mind and purpofe of the old Fathers, and a great deal more profitable and commodious, than that which of late was ufed. It is more profitable, becaufe here are left out many things, whereof fome are untrue, fome uncertain, fome vain and fuperftitious ; and nothing is ordained to be of the Church. read, but the very pure Word of God, the holy Scriptures, or that which is agreeable to the fame ; and that in fuch a Lan- guage and Order as is moft eafy and plain for the underftand- ing both of the Readers and Hearers. It is alfo more commo- dious, both for the fhortnefs thereof, and for the plainnefs of the Order, and for that the Rules be few and eafy. And whereas heretofore there hath been great diverfity in faying and fmging in Churches within this Realm ; fome fol- lowing Salifbury Ufe, fome Hereford Ufe, and fome the Ufe of Banger, Ibme of York) fome of Lincoln ; now from hence- forth all the whole Realm flull have but one Ufe. And forafmuch as nothing can be fo plainly fet forth, but doubts may arife in the ufe and practice of the lame j to ap- peafe all fuch diverfity (if any arife) and for the refolution of all doubts, concerning the manner how to underftand, do, and execute, the things contained in this Book; the parties that fo doubt, or diverfly take any thing, fllall alway refort to the Bifhop of the Diocefe, who by his difcretion fliall take order for the quieting and appealing of the lame ; fo that the fame order be not contrary to any thing contained in this Book. And if the Bifhop of the Diocefe be in doubt, then he may fend for the refolution thereof to the Archbifliop. THOUGH it be appointed, that all things fhall be read and fung in the Church in the Engl.jh Tongue, to the end that the Congregation may be thereby edified ; yet it is not meant, but that when men fay Morning and Evening Prayer privately, they may fay the fame in any language that they themfelves do underftand. ' And all Priefts and Deacons are to fay daily the Morning and Evening Prayer either privately or openly, not being let by ficknefs, or fome other urgent caufe. And the Curate that miniftereth in every Parifli-Church or Chapel, being at home, and not being otherwife reafonably hindered, fhall fay the fame in the Parilh-Church or Chapel where he miniftereth, and fliall caufe a Bell to be tolled thereunto a convenient time before he begin, that the people rmy come to hear God's Word, and to pray with him. Of Ceremonies, Why fame be abolijbed, and fame retained. F fuch Ceremonies as be ufed in the Church, and have had their beginning by the inftitution of man, fome at the firft were of godly intent and purpofe devifed,and yet at length turned to vanity and fuperftition : fome entered into the Church by undifcreet devotion ; and fuch a zeal as was without knowledge j and for becaufe they were winked at in the beginning, they grew Jaily to more and more abufes, which not only for their un- profitableness, but alfo becaufe they have mucli blinded the people, and obfcured the glory of God, are worthy to be cut away, and clean rejected : other there be, which although they have been devifed by man, yet it is thought good to re- ferve them (till, as well for a decent order in the Church, (tor the which they were firft devifed) as becaufe they pertain to edification, whereunto all things done in the Church (as the Apoftle teacheth) ought to be referred. And although the keeping or omitting of a Ceremony, in itfelf confidered, is but a Imall thing j yet the wilful and con- temptuous tranfgreflion and breaking of a common order and dilcipline is no fmall offence before God, Let all things be done among you, faith St. Paul, in afeemly and due order : The ap- pointment of the which order pertaineth not to private men 5 therefore no man. ought to take in hand, nor prefume to appoint or alter any publick or common Order in Chrift's Church, except he be lawfully called and authorized thereunto. And whereas in this our time, the minds of men are fo diverfe, that fome think it a great matter of confcience to depart from a piece of the leaft of their Ceremonies, they be fo addicted to their old cuftoms ; and again on the other fide, fome be fo new-fangled, that they would innovate all things, and fo defpife the old, that nothing can like them, but that is new : it was thought expedient, not fo much to have re- fpedl how to pleafe and fatisfy either of thefe parties, as how to pleaf.- God, and profit them both. And yet left any man fhould be offended, whom good reafon might fatisfy, here be certain caufes rendered, why fome of the accuftomed Cere- monies be put away, and fome retained and kept ftill. Some are put away, becaufe the great excefs and multitude of them hath fo increafed in thefe latter days, that the bur- den of them was intolerable ; whereof St. Auguftine in his time complained, that they were grown to fuch a number, that the eftate of Chriftian people was in worfe cafe concern- ing that matter, than were the Jews. And he counfelled that fuch yoke and burden mould be taken away, as time would ferve quietly to do it. But what would St. Auguftine have faid, if he had feen the Ceremonies of late days ufed among us ; whereunto the multitude ufed in his time was not to be compared ? This our exceflive multitude of Ceremo- nies was fo great, and many of them fo dark, that they did more confound and darken, than declare and fet forth Chrift's benefits unto us. And beiides this, Chrift's Gofpel is not a Ceremonial Law, (as much of Mojei Law was) but it is a Re- ligion to ferve God, not in bondage of the figure or fhadow, but in the freedom of the Spirit ; being content only with thofe Ceremonies which do ferve to a decent Order and godly Difcipline, and fuch as be apt to ftir up the dull mind of man to the remembrance of his duty to God, by fome notable and fpecial fignification, whereby he might be edified. Further- more, the moft weighty caufe of the abolishment of certain Ceremonies was, That they were fo far abufed, partly by the fuperftitious blindnefs of the rude and unlearned, and partly by the unfatiable avarice of fuch as fought more their own lucre, than the glory of God, that the abufes could not well be taken away, the thing remaining ftill. But now as concerning thofe perfons, which peradventure will be offended, for that fome of the old Ceremonies are re- tained ftill : If they confider that without fome Ceremonies it is not poflible to keep any Order, or quiet Difcipline in the Church, they fhall eafily perceive juft caufe to reform their judgements. And if they think much, that any of the old do remain, and would rather have all devifed anew : then fuch men granting fome Ceremonies convenient to be had, furely where the old may be well ufed, there they cannot reafonably reprove the old only for their age, without bewray- (BEN The Order how the Pfalter ing of their own folly. For in fuch a cafe they ought rather to have reverence unto them for their antiquity, if they will declare themfelves to be more ftudious of unity and concord, than of innovations and new-fanglenefs, which (as much as may be with true fetting forth of Chrift's Religion) is always to be efchewed. Furthermore, fuch fhall have no juft caufe with the Ceremonies referved to be offended. For as thofe be taken away which were moft abufed, and did burden men's confciences without any caufe; fo the other that remain, are retained for a difcipline and order, which (upon juft caufes) may be altered and changed, and therefore are not to be efteemed equal with God's Law. And moreover, they be neither dark nor dumb Ceremonies, but are fo fet forth, that every man may underftand what they do mean, and to what ufe they do ferve. So that it is not like that they in time to come fhould be abufed as other have been. And in thefe our doings we condemn no other Nations, nor prefcribe any thing but to our own people only : For we think it conve- nient that every Country fhould ufe fuch Ceremonies as they fhall think beft to the fetting forth of God's honour and glory, and to the reducing of the people to a moft perfect and godly living, without error or fuperftition ; and that they fhould put away other things, which from time to time they perceive to be moft abufed, as in men's ordinances it often chanceth di- verfly in divers countries. H The Order how the Pfalter is appointed to be read. HE Pfalter fhall be read through once every Month, as it is there appointed, both for Morning and Evening Prayer. But in February it fhall be read only to the twenty-eighth, or twenty-ninth day of the Month. And, whereas January, March, May, July, Augufl, Oflo- her t and December, have One-and -thirty days apiece ; It is ordered, that the fame Pfalms fhall be read the laft day of the faid months, which were read the day before : So that the Pfalter may begin again the firft day of the next Month enfuing. is appointed to be read. And, whereas the ugth Pfalm is divided into twenty-two portions, and is over-long to be read atone time; It is fo or- dered, that at one time {hall not be read above four or five of" the faid portions. And at the end of every Pfalm, and of every fuch part of the ugth Ffalm, fhall be repeated this Hymn, Glory be to the Father , and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghoft ; As it was in the beginning, is noiv, and e-ver Jhall be : -world without end. Amen. Note, that the Pfalter followeth the Divifion of the He- brew^ and the Tranflation of the great Englifh Bible, fet forth and ufed in the time' of King Henry the Eighth, and Edward the Sixth. ^[ The Order how the reft of Holy Scripture is appointed to be read. HE Old Teftament is appointed for the firft Lefibns at Morning and Evening Prayer ; fo as the moft part thereof will be read every year once, as in the Calendar is appointed. The New Teftament is appointed for the fecond Leflbns at Morning and Evening Prayer, and fhall be read over orderly every year thrice, befides the Epiftles and Gofpels ; except the Apocalypfe, out of which there are only certain proper Lef- fons appointed upon divers Feafts. And to know what LefTons fhall be read every day, look for the day of the Month in the Calendar following, and there ye fhall find the Chapters that fhall be read for the Leflbns both at Morning and Evening Prayer ; except only the Move- able Feafts, which are not in the Calendar, and the Immove- able, where there is a blank left in the Column of Leflbns, the Proper Leflbns for all which days are to be found in the Table of Proper Leflbns. And note, that whenfoever Proper Pfalms or Leflbns are appointed; then the Pfalms and Leflbns of ordinary courfe ap- pointed in the Pfalter and Calendar (if they be different) fhall be omitted for that time. Note alfo, that the Colledt, Epiftle, and Gofpel, appointed for the Sunday fhall ferve all the week after, where it is not in this Book otherwife ordered.

For this, Thou (halt not commit adul- tery, Thou (halt not kill, Thou malt not fteal, Thou malt not bear falfe witnefs, Thou malt not covet ; and if there be any other com- mandment, it is briefly comprehended in this faying, namely, Thou malt love thy neigh- bour as thyfelf. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour ; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of fleep : for now is our falvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far fpent, the day is at hand ; let us therefore call off the works of darknefs, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honeftly as in the day ; not in rioting and drunkennefs, not in cham- bering and wantonnefs, not in ftrife and en- vying.
