 one uniform Order of Common Service and Prayer, 
 and of the Administration of Sacraments, Rites 
 and Ceremonies of the Church of England, which 
 ■was set forth in one Book, intituled, The Book of 
 Common Praijer, and Administration of Sacraments, 
 and other Riles and Ceremonies in the Church of Eng- 
 land, Authorized by Act of Parliament, holden in 
 the fifth and sixth years of our said late Sovereign 
 Lord King Eduard the Sixth, intituled, An Act for 
 the Uniformiti/ of Common Prayer, and Administra- 
 tion of the Sacraments; The which was repealed, and 
 taken away by Act of Parliament, in the first Year 
 of the K^igii of our late Sovereign Lady Queen 
 Mary, to the great decay of the due honour of 
 God, and discomfort to the Professors of the Truth 
 of Christ's Reiigion : 
 
 Be it therefore enacted by the Authority of this 
 present Parliament, That the said Statute of Repeal, 
 and every tiling therein contained, only concerning

 of St. John Baptist next coming : and that the said

 XIV. CAROLI II. 
 
 WHEREAS in the first Year of the late 
 Queen Elizabeth, there was one Uniform 
 Order of Common Service and Prayer, and of the 
 Administration of Sacraments, Rites and Ceremo- 
 nies of the Church of England, (agreeable to the 
 Word of God, and usage of the Primitive Church) 
 compiled by the Reverend Bishops and Clergy, set 
 forth in one Book, intituled. The Book of Common 
 Prayer, and Administration of Sacraments, and otlier 
 Riles and Ceremonies in the Church of England, and 
 enjoined to be used by Act of Parliament, holden 
 in the said first Year of the said late Queen, intitu- 
 led. An Act for the Uniformity of Common Prayer, 
 and Service in the Church, and Administration of the 
 Sacraments; Tery comfortable to all good people 
 desirous to live in Christian Conversation, and 
 most profitable to the Estate of this Realm, upon 
 the which the Mercy, Favour and Blessing of Al- 
 mighty God is in no wise so readily and plentifully 
 poured, as by Common Prayers, due using of the 
 Sacraments, and often preaching of the Gospel, 
 with devotion of the hearers : And yet this notwith- 
 standing, a great number of people in divers parts 
 
 of this Realm, following their own sensuality, and 
 living without knowledge and due fear of God, do 
 wilfully and schismatically abstain and refuse to 
 come to their Parish-Churches, and other publick 
 places where Common Prayer, Administration of 
 the Sacraments, and Preaching of the Word of 
 God is used upon the Sundays, and other days or- 
 dained and appointed to be kept and observed as 
 Holy-days : And v^'hereas by the great and scanda- 
 lous neglect of Ministers in using the said Order 
 of Liturgy so set forth and enjoined, as aforesaid, 
 great mischiefs and inconveniences, during the 
 time of the late unhappy troubles, have arisen 
 and grown ; and man}' people have been led into 
 Factions and Schisms, to the great decay and 
 scandal of the Reformed Religion of the Church of 
 England, and to the hazard of many Souls : For 
 prevention whereof in time to come, for settling 
 the peace of the Church, and for allaying the pre- 
 sent distempers, which the indisposition of the 
 time hath contracted, The King's Majesty (accord- 
 ing to his Declaration of the five and twentieth of 
 October, One thousand six hundred and sixty)
 
 An Ad{ ftfT the Uniformity of Publick Prayers. 
 
 granted his Commission under the Great Seal of 
 England, to several Bishops, and other Divines, to 
 review the Book of Common Prayer, and to pre- 
 pare such Alteration and Additions as they thought 
 fit to offer ; And afterwards the Convocations of 
 both the Provinces of Canterbury and York, being 
 by his Majesty called and assembled, (and now 
 sitting,) His Majesty hath been pleased to autho- 
 rize and require the Presidents of the said Convo- 
 cations, and other the Bishops and Clergy of the 
 same, to review the said Book of Common Prayer, 
 and the Book of the Form and Manner of the 
 Making and Consecrating of Bishops, Priests and 
 Deacons : And that after mature consideration, 
 they should make such Additions and Alterations 
 in the said Books respectively, as to them should 
 seem meet and convenient; and should exhibit and 
 present the same to His Majesty in writing, for his 
 further Allowance or Confirmation : Since which 
 time, upon full and mature deliberation, they the 
 said Presidents, Bishops and Clerg3' of both Pro- 
 vinces, have accordingly reviewed the said Books, 
 and have made some Alterations which thej- think 
 fit to be inserted to the same ; and some additional 
 •Prayers to the said Book of Common Prayer, to be 
 used upon proper and emergent occasions ; and 
 have exhibited and presented the same unto His 
 Majesty in writing, in one Book, intituled. The 
 Book of Common Prayer, and jldminist ration of the 
 Sacraments, and other Rites and Ceremonies of the 
 Church, according to the Use of the Church of Eng- 
 land : together zcith the Psalter or Psalms of David, 
 pointed as they are to he sung or said in Churches; 
 and the Form and Mariner of Making, Ordaining, 
 and Consecrating of Bishops, Priests and Deacons : 
 All which His Majesty having duly considered, 
 hath fully approved and allowed the same, and 
 recommended to this present Parliament, that the 
 said Books of Common Prayer, and the Form of 
 Ordination and Consecration of Bishops, Priests 
 and Deacons with the Alterations and Additions, 
 which have been so made and presented to His 
 Majesty by the said Convocations, be the Book, 
 which shall be appointed to be used by all that offi- 
 ciate in all Cathedral and Collegiate Churches and 
 Cha])(ls, and in all Chapels of Colleges and Halls 
 in both the Universities, and the Colleges of Eton 
 and IVinchcster, and in all Parish-Churches and 
 Chupels, witliin the Kingdom of England, Domi- 
 nion of If ales, and Town of Berwick upon Tzcced, 
 and by all that Make or Consecrate Bishops, Priests 
 or Deacons, in any of the said places, under such 
 Sanctions and Penalties as the Houses of I'arlia- 
 nicnt shall think fit. Now in regard that nothing 
 
 conduceth more to the settling of the Peace of this 
 Nation (which is desired of all good men) nor to 
 the honour of our Religion, and the propagation 
 thereof, than an universal agreement in the Publick 
 Worship of Almighty God ; and to the intent that 
 every Person within this Realm, may certainly 
 know the rule, to which he is to conform in Pub- 
 lick Worship and Administration of Sacraments, 
 and other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of 
 England, and the manner how, and by whom, 
 Bishops, Priests and Deacons are, and ought to be 
 Made, Ordained and Consecrated ; 
 
 Be it Enacted by the King's most Excellent 
 Majesty, by the advice, and with the consent of 
 the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and of the Com- 
 mons in this present Parliament assembled, and by 
 the Authority of the same. That all and singular 
 Ministers, in any Cathedral, Collegiate or Parish- 
 Church or Chapel, or other place of Publick Wor- 
 ship within this Realm of England, Dominion of 
 JVales, and Town of Berzcick upon Tweed, shall be 
 bound to say and use the Morning Prayer, Evening 
 Prayer, Celebration and Administration of both the 
 Sacraments, and all other the Publick and Com- 
 mon Prayer, in such order and form as is mention- 
 ed in the said Book annexed and joined to this

 THE PREFACE. 
 
 IT hath been the wisdom of the Ohurcli of Eng- 
 land, ever since the first compiling of her pub- 
 lick Liturgy, to keep the mean between the two 
 extremes, of too much stiffness in refusing, and of 
 too much easiness in admitting any vaiiation from it. 
 For, as on the one side common experience shewcth, 
 that where a change hath been made of things ad- 
 visedly established (no evident necessity so requiring) 
 sundry inconveniences have thereupon ensued; and 
 those many times more and greater than the evils, 
 that were intended to be remedied by such change: 
 So on the other side, the particular Forms of Divine 
 worship, and the Rights and Ceremonies appointed 
 to be used therein, being tilings in their ow n nature 
 indifferent, and alterable, and so acknowledged ; it 
 is but reasonable, that upon weighty and important 
 considerations, according to the various exigency 
 of times and occasions, such changes and alterations 
 should be made therein, as to those that are in 
 place of Authority should from time to time seem 
 either necessary or expedient. Accordingly we find, 
 that in the Reigns of several Princes of blessed 
 memory since the Reformation, the Church, upon 
 just and weighty considerations her thereunto mov- 
 ing, hath yielded to make such alterations in some 
 particulars, as in their respective times were thought 
 convenient : Yet so, as that the main Body and 
 Essentials of it (as well in the chiefest materials, as 
 in the frame and order thereof) have still continued 
 the same unto this day, and do yet stand firm and 
 unshaken, notwithstanding all the vain attempts and 
 impetuous assaults made against it, by such men as 
 are given to change, and have always discovered a 
 greater regard to their own private fancies and in- 
 terests, than to that duty they owe to the publick. 
 
 By what undue means, and for what mischievous 
 purposes the use of the Liturgy (though enjoined 
 by the Laws of the Land, and those Laws never 
 yet repealed) came, during the late unhappy confu- 
 sions, to be discontinued, is too well known to the 
 world, and we are not willing here to remember. 
 But when, upon His Majesty's happy Restoration, 
 it seemed probable, that, amongst other things, the 
 use of the Liturgy would also return of course (the 
 same having never been legally abolished) unless 
 some timely means were used to prevent it ; those 
 men who under the late usurped powers had made 
 it a^great part of their business to render the people 
 disaffected thereunto, saw themselves in point of 
 reputation and interest concerned (unless they would 
 freely acknowledge themselves to have erred, which 
 
 such men are very hardly brought to do) with their 
 utmost endeavours to hinder the restitution thereof. 
 In order whereunto divers Pamphlets were publish- 
 ed against the Book of Coininon Prayer, the old 
 objections mustered up, with the addition of some 
 new ones, more than formerly had been made, to 
 make the number swell. In fine, great importuni- 
 ties were used to His Sacred Majesty, that the said 
 Book might be revised, and such Alterations there- 
 in, and Additions thereunto made, as should be 
 thought requisite for the ease of tender Consciences : 
 whereunto His Majesty, out of 'tis pious inclina- 
 tion to give satisfaction (so far as could be reason- 
 ably expected) to all his subjects of what persuasion 
 soever, did graciously condescend. 
 
 In which review we have endeavoured to observe 
 the like moderation, as we find to have been used in 
 the like case in former times. And therefore of the 
 sundry alterations proposed unto us, we have reject- 
 ed all such as were either of dangerous consequence 
 (as secretly striking at some established Doctrine, 
 or laudable Practice of the Church of England, or 
 indeed of the whole Catholick Church of Christ) or 
 else of no consequence at all, but utterly frivolous 
 and vain. But such Alterations as were tendered 
 to us (by what persons, under what pretences, or to 
 what purpose soever tendered) as seemed to us in' 
 any degree requisite or expedient, we have willingly, 
 and of our own accord assented unto : not enforced 
 so to do by any strength of Argument, convincing 
 us of the necessity of making the said Alterations: 
 For we are fully persuaded in our judgments (and 
 we here profess it to the world) that the Book, as it 
 stood before established by Law, doth not contain 
 in it any thing contrary to the Word of God, or to 
 sound Doctrine, or which a godly man may not 
 with a good Conscience use and submit unto, or 
 which is not fairly defensible against any that shall 
 oppose the same; if it shall be allowed such just 
 and favourable construction as in common equity 
 ought to be allowed to all human Writings, especi- 
 ally such as are set forth by Authority, and even to 
 the very best translations of the holy Scripture itself. 
 
 Our general aim therefore in this undertaking 
 was, not to gratify this or that party in any their 
 unreasonable demands; but to tlo that, which to 
 our best understandings we conceived might most 
 tend to the preservation of Peace and Unity in the 
 Church ; the procuring of Reverence, and exciting 
 of Piety and Devotion in the publick Worship of 
 God ; and the cutting off occasion from them that
 
 Concerning the Service of the Church. 
 
 seek occasion of cavil or quarrel agair>st the Liturgy 
 of the Church. And as to the several variations 
 from the former Book, whether by Alteration, Ad- 
 dition, or otherwise, it shall suffice to give this ge- 
 neral account, That most of the Alterations were 
 made, eitlier first, for the better direction of them 
 that are to officiate in any part of Divine Service; 
 which is chiefly done in the Calendars and Ku- 
 bricks: or secondly, for the more proper expressing 
 of some words or phrases of ancient usage in terms 
 more suitable to the language of the present times, 
 jind the clearer explanation of some other words 
 and phrases, that were either of doubtful significa- 
 tion, or otherwise liable to misconstruction : Or 
 thirdly, for a more perfect rendering of such portions 
 of holy Scripture, as are inserted into the Liturgy; 
 ■which, in the Epistles and Gospels especially, and 
 in sundry other places, are now ordered to be read 
 according to the last Translation : and that it was 
 thought convenient, that some Prayers and Thanks- 
 givings, fitted to special occasions, should be added 
 in their due places ; particularly for those at Sea, 
 together with an office for the Baptism of such as 
 are of riper years : which, although not so necessary 
 when the former Book was compiled, yet by the 
 
 growth of Anabaptism, through the licentiousness 
 of the late times crept in amongst us, is now be- 
 come necessary, and may be always useful for the 
 baptizing of Natives in our Plantations, and others 
 converted to the Faith. If any man, who shall 
 desire a more particular account of the several Al- 
 terations in any part of the Liturgy, shall take the 
 pains to compare the present Book with the former; 
 we doubt not but the reason of the change may 
 easily appear. 
 
 And having thus endeavoured to discharge our 
 duties in this weighty affair, as in the sight of God, 
 and fo approve our sincerity therein (so far as lay 
 in us) to the consciences of all men ; although we 
 know it, impossible (in such variety of apprehen- 
 sions, humours and interests, as are in the world) to 
 please all; nor can expect that men of factious, 
 peevish, and perverse spirits should be satisfied with 
 any thing that can be done in this kind by any 
 other than themselves : Yet we have good hope, 
 that what is here presented, and hath been by the 
 Convocations of both Provinces with great dili- 
 gence examined and approved, will be also well ac- 
 cepted and approved by all sober, peaceable, and 
 truly conscientious Sons of the Church of England. 
 
 Concerning the Sei'vice of the Church. 
 
 ^I^HERE was never any thing by the wit of man 
 -■• so well devised, or so sure established, which 
 in continuance of time hath not been corrupted : 
 As, among other things, it may plainly appear by 
 the Common Prayers in the Church, commonly 
 called Divine Service. The first original and ground 
 whereof if a man would search out by the ancient 
 Fathers, he shall find, that the same was not ordain- 
 ed but of a good purpose, and for a great advance- 
 ment of godliness. For they so ordered tlie matter, 
 that all the whole Bible, (or the greatest part there- 
 of) should be read over once every year; intending 
 thereby, that the Clergy, and especially such as 
 were Ministers in tiie congregation, should (by 
 often reading, and meditation in God's word) be 
 stirred up to godliness themselves, and be more 
 able to exhort others by wholesome Doctrine, and 
 to confute ihem that were adversaries to the truth ; 
 and further, that the people (by daily hearing of 
 lioly Scripture read in the Church) might continu- 
 ally profit more and more in the knowledge of God, 
 and be the more inflamed with the love of his true 
 Religion. 
 But these many years passed, this godly and 
 
 decent order of the ancient FiUhers hath been so 
 altered, broken, and neglected, by planting in un- 
 certain Stories, and Legends, with multitude of 
 Responds, Verses, vain Repetitions, Commemora- 
 tions, and Synodals ; that commonly when any Book 
 of the Bible was begun, after three or four Chapters 
 were read out, all ths rest were unread. And in 
 this sort the Book of Isaiah was begun in Advent, 
 and the Book of Genesis in Sepluagcsima; but they 
 were only begun, and never read through : After 
 like sort were other Books of holy Scripture used. 
 And moreover, whereas St. Paul would have such 
 language spoken to the people in the Church, as 
 they might underhiaud, and have profit by heating 
 the same; The Service in this Church of England 
 these many years hath been road in Latin to the 
 people, which they understaTid not; so that they 
 have heard with their ears only, and their heart, 
 spirit, and mind, have not been edified thereby. 
 And furtiiermorc, notwithstanding that tlie ancient 
 Fathers have divided the Psalms into seven portions, 
 whereof every one was called a Noclurn: Now of 
 late tim<> a few of tiiem have been daily said, and 
 the rest utterly omitted. Moreover, the number
 
 Of Ceremonies. 
 
 and hardness of the Rules called the Pic, and the 
 manifold changings of tlic Service, was the cause, 
 that to turn tlie Book only was so hard and intricate 
 a matter, that many times there was more business 
 to find out what should be read, than to read it 
 when it was found out. 
 
 These inconveniences therefore considered, here 
 is set forth such an Order, whereby the same shall 
 be redressed. And for a readiness in this matter, 
 here is drawn out a Calendar for that purpose, 
 which is plain and easy to be understood; wherein 
 (so much as may he) the reading of holy Scripture 
 is so set forth, that all things shall be done in order, 
 without breaking one piece from another. For this 
 cause be cut off Anthems, Reiponds, Invitatories, 
 and such like things as did break tbe^-continual 
 course of the reading of the Scripture. '■, -, 
 
 Yet, because there is no remedy, but that of 
 necessity there must be some Rules ; therefore 
 certain Rules are here set forth ; which, as they are 
 few in number, so they are plain and easy to be 
 understood. So that here you have an Order for 
 Prayer, and for the reading of the holy Scripture, 
 much agreeable to the mind and purpose of the old 
 Fathers, and a great deal more profitable and com- 
 modious, than that which of late was used. It is 
 more profitable, because here arc left out many 
 things, whereof some are untrue, some uncertain, 
 some vain and superstitious ; and nothing is ordain- 
 ed to be read, but the very pure AVord of God, tlie 
 ■holy Scriptures, or that which is agreeable to the 
 same; and that in such a Language and Order as is 
 most easy and plain for the understanding both of 
 the Readers and Hearers. It is also more commo- 
 dious, both for the shortness thereof, and for the 
 pl.ainness of the Order, and for that the Rrrles be 
 few and easy. 
 
 And whereas heretofore there hath been great 
 diversityia saying and singing in Churches within 
 
 this Realm ; some following Salisbury Use, some 
 llerejord Use, and some the Use of Bangor, some 
 of York, some of Linco/n ; now from henceforth all 
 the whole Realm shall have but one Use. 
 
 And forasmuch as nothing can be so plainly set 
 forth, but doubts may arise in the use and practice 
 of the same; to appease all such diversity (if any 
 arise) and for the resolution of all doubts, concern- 
 ing the manner how to understand, do, and execute, 
 the things contained in diis Book ; the parties that 
 so doubt, or diversly take an^- thing, sliall alway 
 resort to the Bishop of the Diocese, who by his 
 discretion shall take order for the quieting and ap- 
 peasing of the same ; so that the same order be not 
 contrary to any thing contained in this Book. And 
 if the Bishop of the Diocese be in doubt, then he 
 may send for the resolution thereof to the Arch- 
 bishop. 
 
 THOUGH it be appointed, that all things shall, 
 be read and sung in the Church in the English 
 Tongue, to the end that the congregation maj' be 
 thereby edified ; yet it is not meant, but that when 
 men say Morning and Evening Prayer privately, 
 they may say the same in any language that they 
 themselves do understand. -^ — 
 
 And all Priests and Deacons are to say daily the 
 Morning and Evening Prayer either privately or 
 openly, not being let by sickness, or some other 
 urgent cause. v -c,), - •,- 2,*^^' 
 
 And the Curate that ministereth in every Parish- 
 Church or Chapel, being at home, and not being 
 otherwise reasonably hindered, shall say the same 
 in the Parish-Church or Chapel where he minister- 
 eth, and shall cause a Bell to be tolled thereunto a 
 convenient time before he begin, that the people 
 may come to hear God's Word, and to pray with 
 htm. 
 
 0/ Ceremonies, why fame he aholijhed, and fome retained. 
 
 OJp such Ceremonies as be used in the Church, 
 ,, . and have had their beginning by the institu- 
 .lion of man, some at the first were of godly intent 
 i^nd purpose devised, and yet at length turned to 
 vanity and superstition : some entered into the 
 Church by undiscreet devotion, and such a zeal as 
 M'as without knowledge; and for because they were 
 winked at in the beginning, they grew daily to 
 Imore and more abuses, which not onlj' for their 
 (Unprofitableness, but also because iheyjiave much 
 
 blinded the people, and obscured the glory of God, 
 are worthy to be cut away, and clean rejected: 
 other there be, which although they have been de- 
 vised by man, yet it is thought good to reserve 
 them still, as well for a decent order in the Church, 
 (for the which they were first devised) as because 
 they pertain to edification, whei'eunto all things 
 done in the Church (as the Apostle teacheth) ought 
 to be referred. 
 
 And although the keeping or omitting of a Ccre- 
 
 ■ C
 
 Of Ceremonies. 
 
 mony, in itself considered, is but a small tiling; 
 vet the wilful and contemptuous transgression and 
 breakin<r of a common order and discipline is no 
 small offence before God, Let all things be done 
 amon" i/ou, saith Saint Paul, in a seemlj/ and due 
 order: The appointment of the whicli order per- 
 taineth not to private men; therefore no man ought 
 to take in hand, nor presume to appoint or alter 
 an-v publick or common Order in Christ's Church, 
 except he be lawfully called and authorized there- 
 unto. 
 
 And whereas in this our time, the minds of men 
 are so diverse, that some tliink it a great matter of 
 conscience to depart from a piece of the least of 
 their Ceremonies, they be so addicted to their old 
 customs ; and again on the other side, some be so 
 new-fangled, that they would innovate all things, 
 and so despise the old, that nothing can like them, 
 but that is new : it was thought expedient, not so 
 much to have respect how to please and satisfy 
 eitljer of* these parties, as how to please God, and 
 profit them both. And yet lest any man should be 
 offended, whom good reason might satisfy, here be 
 certain causes rendered, why some of the accustom- 
 ed Ceremonies be put away, and some retained and 
 kept still. 
 
 Some are put away, because the great excess 
 and multitude of them hath so increased in these 
 latter days, that the burden of them was intolerable; 
 whereof Saint Augustine in his time complained, 
 that they were grown to such a number, that the 
 estate of Christian people was in worse case con- 
 cerning that matter, than were the Jews. And he 
 counselled that such yoke and burden should be 
 taken away, as time would serve quietly to do it. 
 But what would Saint Augustine have said, if he 
 had seen the Ceremonies of late days used among 
 VS ; whereunto the multitude used in liis time was 
 not to be compared? Tliis our excessive multitude 
 of Ceremonies was so great, and many of liiem so 
 dark, that they did more confound and darken, than 
 declare and set forth Christ's benefits unto us. And 
 besides this, CiuMst's Gospel is not a Ceremoni:il 
 Law (as much of Moses' Law was) but it is a Kcli- 
 gion to serve God, not in bondage of the figure or 
 shadow, but in the freedom of the Spirit; being con- 
 tent only wiili those Ceremonies wliich do serve to 
 a decent Order and godly Discipline, and such as 
 be apt to stir up the dull mind of man to the re- 
 Hiembrance of liis duty to God, by some notable 
 
 and siX;qial signification, whereby he might be edi-. 
 fied. Furthermore, the most weighty cause of the. 
 abolishment of certain Ceremonies was. That tliey 
 were so far abused, partly by the superstitious blind-, 
 ness of the rude and unlearned, and partly by the 
 imsatiable avarice of such as sought more their own 
 lucre, than the glory of God, that the abuses could 
 not well be taken away, the thing'remaining still. : 
 But now as concerning those persons, which 
 peradventure will be offended, for that some of the 
 old Ceremonies are retained still : If they consider 
 that without some Ceremonies it is not possible to 
 keep any Order, or quiet Discipline in the Clun'ch, 
 they shall easily perceive just cause to reform their 
 judgments. And if they think much, that any of 
 the old do remain, and would rather have all de- 
 vised anew : then such men granting some Cere- 
 monies convenient to be had, surely where the old 
 may be well used, there they cannot reasonably re- 
 prove the old only for their age, without bewra^-ing 
 of their own folly. For in such a case they ought 
 rather to have reverence unto them for their anti- 
 quity, if they will declare themselves to be more 
 studious of unity and concord, than of innovations 
 and new-fangleness, which (as much as may be 
 with true setting forth of Christ's Religion) is al- 
 ways to be eschewed. Furthermore, such shall 
 have no just cause with the Ceremonies reserved to 
 be offended. For as those be taken away which 
 were most abused, and did burden men's consciences 
 without any cause; so the other that remain, are re- 
 tained for a discipline and order, which (upon just 
 causes) may be altered and changed, and therefore 
 are not to be esteemed equal with God's Law. 
 And moreover, they be neither dark nor dumb Ce- 
 remonies, but are so set forth, that every man may 
 understand what they do mean, and to what use 
 they do serve. So that it is not like that they in 
 time to come should be abused as other have been. 
 And in these our doings we condemn no other 
 Nations, nor prescribe any thing but to our own 
 people only : For we think it convenient that every 
 Country should use such Ceremonies as they shall 
 think best to the settinc; forth of God's honour and 
 glory, and to the reducing of the people to a most 
 perfect and godly living, without error or supersti- 
 tion ; and that they should put away other things, 
 which from time to time they perceive to be most 
 abused, as in men's ordinances it often chancelh 
 diversly in divers counuies.
 
 ^ T/ie Order how the P falter is appointed to he read. 
 
 THE Psalter shall be read tliroiifrli OMce every 
 Moniii, as it is there appointed, both tor 
 Morning and Evening Prayer. But in February it 
 shall be read only to the twenty-eighth, or twenty- 
 ninth day of the month. 
 
 And, whereas January, March, May, Jvly, Au- 
 gust, October, and December have One-and-thirty 
 days apiece; It is ordered, that the same Psalms 
 shall be read the last day of the said months, which 
 were read the day before: So that the Psalter may 
 begin again the first day of the next Month ensuing. 
 
 And, whereas the llQth Psalm is divided into 
 twenty-two portions, and is over-long to be read at 
 
 one time; It is so ordered, that at one time shall 
 not be read above four or five of the said portions. 
 
 And at the end of every Psalm, and of every 
 such part of the 119th Psalm, shall be repeated 
 this Hymn, 
 
 Glory he to the Father, and to the Son : and to the 
 Holy Ghost ; 
 
 As it uas in the beginning, is now, and ever shall 
 be: world without end. Amen. 
 
 Note, that the Psalter followeth the Division of 
 the Hebrews, and the Translation of the great Eng- 
 lish Bible, set forth and used in the time of King 
 Henry the Eighth, and Edzcard the Sixth. 
 
 ^ The Order how the reji of holy Scripture is appointed to he read. 
 
 THE Old Testament is appointed for the first 
 Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer ; so 
 as the most part thereof will be read every year 
 once, as in the Calendar is appointed. 
 
 The New Testament is appointed for the second 
 Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer, and shall 
 be read over orderly every year thrice, besides the 
 Epistles and Gospels; except the Apocalypse, out 
 of which there are only certain Proper Lessons ap- 
 pointed upon divers Feasts. 
 
 And to know what Lessons shall be read every 
 day, look for the day of the Month in the Calendar 
 following, and there ye shall find the Chapters that 
 shall be read for the Lessons both at Morning 
 
 and Evening Prayer ; except only the Moveable 
 Feasts, which are not in the Calendar, and the Im- 
 moveable, where there is a blank left in the Co- 
 lumn of Lessons, the Proper Lessons for all which 
 days are to be found in the Table of Proper 
 Lessons. 
 
 And note, that whensoever Proper Psalms or 
 Lessons are appointed ; then the Psalms and Les- 
 sons of ordinary course appointed in the Psalter 
 and Calendar (if they be different) shall be omitted 
 for that time. 
 
 Note also, that the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, 
 appointed for the Sunday shall serve all the week 
 after, where it is not in this Book otherwise ordered.

 ^"^HIS Table contains so much of the Calendar as is neccs- 
 -■• sary for the determining of Easier; to find which, look 
 for the Golden Number of the Year in the first Column of the 
 Table, against which stands the Day of llie Paschal Full Moon ; 
 then look in the Third Column for the Sunday Letter, ne.\t 
 after the Day of the Full Moon, and the Day of the Month 
 standing against that Sunday Letter is Easter-Dai/. If the 
 Full Moon happens upon a Sunday, then (according to the 
 first Rule) the next Sunday after is Easter-Daj/. 
 
 To find the Golden Number, or Prime, add one to the Year 
 of our Lord, and then divide by 19; the Remainder, if any, is 
 the Golden Number; but if nothing remaineth, then 19 is tlie 
 Golden Number. 
 
 To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter, according 
 to the Calendar, until the Year 1799 inclusive, add to 
 the Year of our Lord its fourth Part, omitting Frac- 
 tions; and also the Number 1: Divide the sum by 7; 
 and if there is no Remainder, then A is the Sunday 
 Letter: But if any Number remaineth, then the Letter 
 standing against that Number in the small annexed 
 Table, is the Sunday Letter. 
 
 For the next Century, that is, from the Year 1800 till the 
 Year 1899 inclusive, add to the current Year only its fourth 
 Part, and then divide by 7, and proceed as in the last Rule. 
 
 Note, that in all Bissextile or Leap Years, the Letter found 
 as above will be the Sunday Letter, from the intercalated Day 
 exclusive to the End of the Year.

 TO make use of the preceding Table, find the Sunday Letter for the Year in the uppermost 
 Line, and the Golden Number, or Prime, in the Column of Golden Numbers, and against 
 the Prime, in the same Line under the Sunday Letter, you have the Day of the Month on which 
 EASTER falleth that Year. But note, that the Name of the Month is set on the Left Hand, or 
 just with the Figure, and followeth not, as in other Tables,* by Descent, but Collateral.

 A TABLE of the MOVEABLE FEASTS, according 
 to the several Days that EASTER can possibly fall 
 upon. 
 
 Note, thai in a Bissextile or Leap Year, the Number of Suiidai/s after 
 Ei)iphany will be the same, as if pMster-Dmj hat! fallen One Day later 
 than it really does. And for the same Reason, One Day must, in every 
 Leap Year, l)e added to the Day of the Month given by the Table for 
 Septiwgesima Sunday: Ami the like must be done for tlic First Day of 
 Lent (commonly called yJ.sft~fVednesdai/) unless the Table gives some 
 Day in the Month of March for it; for in that Case, the Day given by 
 the Table is the right Day.

 THE ORDER FOR 
 
 MORNING PRAYER, 
 
 DAILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 
 
 ^ At the heginning of Morning Prayer the Minijler Jhall read with a 
 loiid voice fome one or more of thefe Sentences of the Scriptures that 
 follow. And tJien he fliall fay that which is written after the faid 
 Sentences. 
 
 WHEN the wicked man turn- 
 eth away from his wicked- 
 nefs that he hath committed, and 
 ,„^doeth that which is lawful and 
 right, he fliall fave his foul alive. 
 Ezekiel xviii. 27- 
 
 I acknowledge my tranfgref- 
 fions, and my fin is ever before 
 me. Pfalm li. 3. 
 
 Hide thy face from my fins, 
 and blot out all mine iniquities. 
 Pfalm h. 9. 
 
 Tlie facrifices of God are a bro- 
 ken fpirit : a broken and a contrite 
 heart, O God, thou wilt not de- 
 fpife. Pfalm li. 17. 
 
 Rend your heart, and not your 
 gannents, and turn unto the Lord 
 your God : for he is gracious and 
 merciful, flow to anger, and of 
 great kindnefs, and repenteth him 
 of the evil. Joel ii. 13. 
 
 To the Lord our God belong 
 mercies and forgivenefles, though 
 we have rebelled againfl; him : 
 neither have we obeyed the voice 
 
 of the Lord our God, to walk in 
 his laws which he fet before us. 
 Datiiel ix. 9, 10. 
 
 Lord, correct me, but with 
 judgement; not in thine anger, 
 lefi; thou bring me to nothing. 
 Jer. X. 24. Pfalm vi. 1. 
 
 Repent ye; for the Kingdom of 
 Heaven is at hand. St. Matth. iii. 2. 
 
 1 will arife, and go to my fa- 
 ther, and will fay unto him. Fa- 
 ther, I have finned againfl; hea- 
 ven, and before thee, and am no 
 more worthy to be called thy fon. 
 aS"^. Luke XV. 18, 19. 
 '^ Enter not into judgement with

 DEARLY beloved brethren, 
 the Scripture moveth us in 
 fundiT places to acknowledge and 
 confefs our manifold fins and Avic- 
 kednefs; and that we fliould not 
 diffemble nor cloke them before 
 the face of Almighty God our 
 heavenly Father ; but confefs them 
 with an humble, lowly, penitent, 
 and obedient heart; to the end 
 that w^e may obtain forgivenefs of 
 the fame, by his infinite goodnefs 
 and mercy. And although we 
 ought at all times humbly to ac- 
 knowledge our fins before God; 
 yet ought we moil chiefly fo to do, 
 when we afl'emble and meet to- 
 gether to render thanks for the 
 great benefits that we have re- 
 ceived at his hands, to fet forth 
 his molt worthy praife, to heai* 
 his mofl; holy Word, and to afiv 
 thofe things which are requifite 
 and neceflary, as well for the body 
 as the foul. Wlierefore I pray and 
 befeech you, as many as are here 
 prefent, to accompany me with 
 a pure heart, and humble voice,*" 
 unto the throne of the heavenly 
 grace, faymg after me; 
 
 ^ A general Confession to be said of the rofio/c Con- 
 gregulion after the Minister, all kneeling. 
 
 ALMKillTY and moft merci- 
 ful leather; We have erred, 
 and firayed from thy ways like loll 
 Iheep. We have followed too much 
 the devices and defires of our own 
 hearts. We have offended againll 
 
 thy holy laws. We have left un- 
 done thofe things which we ought 
 to have done; And we have done 
 thofe things which we ought not 
 to have done ; And there is no 
 health in us. But thou, O Lord, 
 have mercy upon us, mil'erable of- 
 fenders. Spare thou them, O God, 
 which confefs their faults. Refl;ore 
 thou tliein that are penitent ; Ac- 
 cording to thy promifes declared 
 unto mankind in Chrifl Jefu our 
 Lord. And grant, O moft mer- 
 ciful Father, for his fake ; That we 
 may hereafter live a godly, right- 
 eous, and fober life, 1 o the glory 
 of thy holy Name. Amen.

 his mckednefs, and live ; and hath 
 given power, and commandment, 
 to his Minifters, to declare and 
 pronoimce to his people, being 
 penitent, the Abfolution and Re- 
 miflion of their fins : He pardoneth 
 and abiolveth all them that truly 
 repent, and unfeignedly believe 
 his holy Gofpel. Wherefore let 
 us befeech him to grant us true 
 repentance, and his holy S[)irit, 
 that thofe things may ])leiife him, 
 Avhich we do at this prefent; and 
 that the rell of our life hereafter

 OCome, let us fmg unto the 
 Lord : let us heartily rejoice 
 in the ftrength of our falvation. 
 
 Let us come before his prefence 
 with thankfgiving : and fhew our- 
 felves glad in him with Pfalms. 
 
 For the Lord is a great God : 
 and a great King above all gods. 
 
 In his hand are all the corners 
 of the earth : and the ftrength of 
 the hills is his alfo. 
 
 The fea is his, and he made it : 
 and his hands prepared the diy land. 
 
 O come, let us worfhip, and fall 
 down : and kneel before the Lord 
 our Maker. 
 
 For he is the Lord our God : 
 and we are the people of his paf- 
 ture, and the flieep of his hand. 
 
 To day if ye will hear his voice, 
 harden not your hearts : as in the 
 provocation, and as in the day of 
 temptation in the wildernefs ; 
 
 When your fathers tempted me : 
 proved me, and faw my works. 
 
 Forty years long was I gi'ieved 
 with this generation, and faid : It 
 is a people that do err in their 
 hearts, for they have not known 
 my ways.

 tlie Scripture mo\^eth us in 
 fundry places to acknowledge and 
 confel's our manifold fins and Avic- 
 kednefs; and that we Ihould not 
 diffemble nor cloke them before 
 the face of Almighty God our 
 heavenly Father ; but confefs them 
 with an humble, lowly, penitent, 
 and obedient heart; to the end 
 that we may obtain forgivenefs of 
 the fame, by his infinite goodnefs 
 and mercy. And although we 
 ought at all times humbly to ac- 
 knowledge our fins before God; 
 'yet ought we moil chiefly fo to do, 
 when we alfemble and meet to- 
 gether to render thanks for the 
 great benefits that we have re- 
 ceived at his hands, to fet forth 
 his mofl; worthy praife, to hear 
 his mofl; holy Word, and to aflv 
 thofe things which are requifite 
 and neceflary, as well for the body 
 as the foul. Wherefore I pray and 
 befeech you, as many as are here 
 prefent, to accompany me with 
 a pure heart, and humble voice, 
 imto the throne of the heavenly 
 grace, faying after me; 
 
 IF A general Confession to be said of the whole Con- 
 gregation after the Minister, all kneeling. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and moft merci- 
 ful Father ; We have erred, 
 and ftrayed fi-om thy ways like loft 
 flieep. We have followed too much 
 the devices and defires of oiu- own 
 hearts. We have offended againft 
 
 thy holy laws. We have left un- 
 done thofe things which we ought 
 to have done; And we have done 
 thofe things which we ought not 
 to have done ; And there is" no 
 health in us. But thou, O Lord, 
 have mercy upon us, miferable of- 
 fenders. Spare thou them, O God, 
 which confefs their faults. Reftore 
 thou them that are penitent ; Ac- 
 cording to thy promifes declared 
 unto mankind in Chrift Jefu our 
 Lord. And grant, O moft mer- 
 ciful Father, for his fake ; That we 
 may hereafter live a godly, right- 
 eous, and fober life, To the gloiy 
 of thy holy Name. Amen. 
 
 ^ The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pro- 
 nounced hy the Priest alone, standing; the people 
 still kneeling. 
 
 ALMIGHTY God, the Father 
 of our I^ord Jefus Chrift, who 
 defireth not the death of a finner, 
 but rather that he may turn from 
 his wickednefs, and' live ; and hath 
 given power, and commandment, 
 to his Minifters, to declare and 
 pronounce to his people, being- 
 penitent, the Abfohition and Re- 
 mifliion of their fins : He pardoneth 
 and abfolveth all them that truly 
 re|>ent, and unfeignedly believe 
 his holy Gofpel. Wherefore let 
 us befeech him to grant us true 
 repentance, and his holy Spint, 
 that thofe things may pleafe him, 
 which we do at this prefent; and 
 that the reft of our life hereafter 
 Go,

 at Morning Prayer, inftead of the Apojiles' Creed, this Confejfion of 
 our Chrijlian Faith, commonly called The Creed of Saint Atlianafius, 
 by the Minijler and people Jianding. 
 
 Quicunqiie mdt. 
 
 WHOSOEVER will be faved : 
 before all things it is necef- 
 fary that he hold the Catholick 
 Faith. 
 
 Which Faith except every one 
 do keep whole and undeiiled : 
 without doubt he Ihall perilh ever- 
 laftingly. 
 
 And the Catholick Faith is this : 
 That we worfliip one God in Tri- 
 nity, and Trinity in Unity ; 
 
 Neither confounding the Per- 
 fons : nor dividing the Subftance. 
 
 For there is one Perfon of the 
 Father, another of the Son : and 
 another of the Holy Ghoft. 
 
 But the Godhead of the Father, 
 of the Son, and of the Holy Ghoft, 
 is all one : the Glory equal, the 
 Majefty co-eternal. 
 
 Such as the Father is, fuch is 
 the Son : and fuch is the Holy 
 Ghoft. 
 
 llie Father uncreate, the Son 
 imcreate : and the Holy Ghoft 
 uncreate. 
 
 The Father incomprehenlible, 
 the Son incomprehenlible : and 
 the Holy Ghoft incomprehenlible. 
 
 The Father eternal, the Son 
 
 eternal : and the Holy Ghoft eter- 
 nal. 
 
 And yet they are not three 
 eternals : but one eternal. 
 
 As alfo there are not three in- 
 comprehenlibles, nor three uncre- 
 ated : but one uncreated, and one 
 incomprehenlible . 
 
 So likewife the Father is Al- 
 mighty, the Son Almighty : and 
 the Holy Ghoft Almighty. 
 
 And yet they are not three Al- 
 mighties : but one Almighty. 
 
 So the Father is God, the Son is 
 God : and the Holy Ghoft is God. 
 
 And yet they are not three Gods: 
 but one God. 
 
 So likewife the Father is Lord, 
 the Son Lord : and the Holy 
 Ghoft Lord. 
 
 And yet not three Lords : but 
 one Lord. 
 
 For like as we are compelled 
 by the Chriftian verity : to ac- 
 knowledge eveiy Perfon by him- 
 felf to be God and Lord ; 
 
 So are we forbidden by tlie Ca- 
 tholick Religion : to fay. There 
 be three Gods, or three Lords. 
 
 The Father is made of none : 
 neither created, nor begotten. 
 H
 
 At Morning Prayer. 
 
 The Son is of the Father alone : 
 not made, nor created, but be- 
 gotten. 
 
 The Holy Ghoft is of the Father 
 and of the Son : neither made, 
 nor created, nor begotten, but 
 proceeding. 
 
 So there is one Father, not three 
 Fathers ; one Son, not three Sons : 
 one Holy Ghoft, not three Holy 
 Ghofts. 
 
 And in this Trinity none is afore, 
 or after other : none is greater, or 
 lefs than another ; 
 
 But the whole three Pei-fons are 
 co-etenial together : and co-equal. 
 
 So that in all things, as is afore- 
 faid : the Unity in Trinity, and 
 the Trinity in Unity is to be wor- 
 fliipped. 
 
 He therefore that will be faved : 
 muft thus think of the Trinity. 
 
 Furthermore, it is neceffary to 
 everlafting; falvation : that he alfo 
 believe rio-htlv the Incarnation of 
 our Lord .Jefus Chrift. 
 
 For the right Faith is, that we 
 believe and confefs : that our Lord 
 Jefus Chrift, the Son of God, is 
 God and Man ; 
 
 God, of the Subftance of the 
 Father, begotten before the worlds : 
 and Man, of the S\ibftance of his 
 Mother, born in the world ; 
 
 I'erfedt God, and ])erfe6t Man : 
 of a reafonable foul and human 
 flefti fnbfilling ; 
 
 Equal to the Father, as touching 
 
 his Godhead : and Inferior to the 
 Father, as touching his Manhood. 
 
 Who although he be God and 
 Man : yet he is not two, but one 
 Chrift ; 
 
 One ; not by converfion of the 
 Godhead into flefti : but by taking 
 of the Manhood into God ; 
 
 One altogether; not by confu- 
 fton of Subftance : but by unity of 
 Perfon. 
 
 For as the reafonable foul and 
 flefti is one man : fo God and Man 
 is one Chrift ; 
 
 Wlio fuft'ered for our falvation : 
 defcended into hell, rofe again the 
 third day from the dead. 
 
 He afcended into heaven, he 
 fitteth on the right hand of the Fa- 
 ther, God Almighty : from whence 
 he fliall come to judge the quick 
 and the dead. 
 
 At whofe coming all men ftiall 
 rife again with their bodies : and 
 ftiall give account for their own 
 works. 
 
 And they that have done good 
 ftiall go into life everlafting : and 
 they that have done evil into ever- 
 lafting fire. 
 
 This is the Catholick Faith : 
 which except a man believe faith- 
 fully, he cannot be faved. 
 
 Gloiy be to the Father, and to 
 the Son : and to the Holy Ghoft ; 
 
 As it was in the beginning, is 
 now, and ever fliall be : world 
 ^vitllout end. Amen.

 OWE no man any thing, but 
 to love one another : for he 
 that loveth another hath fulfilled 
 the law. For this. Thou flialt not 
 commit adultery. Thou flialt not 
 kill, Thou Ihalt not ileal, Thou 
 ftialt not beai' falfe witnefs, Thou 
 flialt not covet ; and if there be any 
 other conunandment, it is briefly 
 comprehended in this faying, name- 
 
 ly. Thou flialt love thy neighbour 
 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 *J 
 for now is our falvation nearer than 
 when we believed. The night is 
 far fpent, the day is at hand ; let 
 us therefore call oft' the works of 
 darknefs, and let us put on the 
 armour of light. Let us walk ho- 
 neftly as in the day ; not in rioting 
 and drunkennefs, not in chamber-

 and envying. But put ye on the

 And a veiy great multitude fpread 
 their garments in the way; others

 Not in circumcifion, but in uncir-

 fign of circumcifion, a feal of the 
 righteoufnefs of the faith which he 
 had yet being uncircumcifed ; that 
 he might be the father of all them 
 that believe, though they be not cir-

 who are not of the circiuiicifion

 WHEN Jefus was bom in 
 Bethlehem of Judaea, in the 
 days of Herod the king, behold, 
 there came wife men from the eaft 
 to Jerufalem, faying. Where is he 
 that is boni King of the Jews? for 
 we have feen his liar in the eall, 
 and are come to worfliip him. 
 When Herod the kmg had heard 
 thefe things, he was troubled, and 
 all .lerufalem with him. And when 
 he had gathered all the chief j^riells 
 and fcribes of the jjeople together, 
 he demanded of them, where Chrill 
 fliould be born. And they faid 
 unto him. In Bethlehem of Judaea: 
 for thus it is written by the pro- 
 
 f)het. And thou, Bethlehem, hi the 
 and of Juda, art not the leaft a- 
 mong the princes of Juda: for out 
 of thee fliall come a Goveniour 
 that Ihall rule my people Ifrael. 
 Then Herod, when he had privily 
 
 ifter the Epiphany. 
 
 called the wife men, enquired of 
 them diligently what time the liar 
 appeared. And he fent them to 
 Bethlehem, and faid, Go, and 
 fearch diligently for the young 
 child, and when ye have foimd 
 him, bring me word again, that I 
 may come and worfliip him alfo. 
 When they had heard the king, 
 they departed ; and lo, the ftar 
 which they faw in the eall went 
 before them, till it came and Hood 
 over where the young child was. 
 When they faw the ftar, they re- 
 joiced with exceeding great joy. 
 And when they were come into 
 the houfe, they faw the young child 
 with Mary his mother, and fell 
 down and worfliipped him : and 
 when they had opened their trea- 
 fures, they prefented unto him 
 gifts ; gold, and frankincenfe, and 
 myrrh. And being warned of God 
 in a dream that they fliould not 
 return to Herod, they departed in- 
 to their own country another way.

 IBefeecli you therefore, brethren, 
 by the mercies of God, that ye 
 prefent your bodies a Uving facri- 
 fice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
 which is your reafonable fervice. 
 And be not conformed to this 
 world ; but be ye transformed by 
 the renewing of your mind, that 
 ye may prove what is that good, 
 and acceptable, and j)erfe61; will 
 of God. For I fay, through the 
 grace given unto me, to every man 
 that is among you, not to think of 
 himfelf more highly than he ought 
 to think, but to think foberly, ac- 
 cording as God hath dealt to eveiy 
 man the meafure of faith. For as 
 we have many members in one 
 body, and all members have not

 that after three days they found 
 him in the temple, fitting in the

 And all that heard him were afto- 
 niftied at his undei'fi;anding and 
 anfwers. And when they faw him, 
 they were amazed : and his mother 
 faid unto him, Son, why hail thou 
 thus dealt with us? behold, thy 
 father and I have fought thee for- 
 rowing. And he faid unto them, 
 How is it that ye fought me? will 
 ye not that I mull be about my 
 Father's bufinefs? And they under- 
 ftood not the faying which he fpake 
 unto them. And he went down 
 with them, and came to Nazareth, 
 and was fubjedl unto them: but 
 his mother kept all thefe fayings 
 in her heart. And Jefus increafed

 AND the third day there was a

 And both Jefus was called, and 
 his difciples, to the marriage. And 
 when they wanted wine, die mo-

 have no wine. Jefus faith unto 
 her, Woman, what have I to do

 there fix water-pots of ftone, after 
 the manner of the pm-ifying of the 
 Jews, containing two or three fir- 
 kins apiece. Jefus faith unto them, 
 Fill the water-pots with water. 
 And they filled them up to the 
 brim. And he faith unto them, 
 Draw out now, and bear unto the 
 governour of the feaft. And they 
 bare it. When the ruler of the 
 feaft had tafted the water that was 
 made wine, and knew not whence 
 it was, (but the fervants which 
 drew the water knew,) the gover- 
 nour of the feaft called the bride- 
 groom, and faith unto him, Every 
 man at the beginning doth fet forth 
 good wine, and when men have 
 well drunk, then that which is 
 worfe: but thou haft kept the good 
 wine until now. This beoinniuff of

 WHEN he was come down 
 from the mountain, great 
 multitudes followed him. And be-

 Ihipped him, faying. Lord, if thou 
 wilt, thou canft make me clean. 
 And Jefus put forth his hand,

 anfwered and faid. Lord, I am not

 only, and my fervant fliall be heal-

 and I fay unto this man, Go, and 
 he goeth ; and to another. Come, 
 and he cometh ; and to my fei-vant, 
 Do this, and he doeth it. When 
 Jefus heard it, he mai-velled, and 
 faid to them that followed. Verily 
 I fay unto you, I have not found 
 fo great faith, no not in Ifrael. 
 And I fay unto you. That many 
 Ihall come from the call and weft,

 of the kingdom fliall be caft out

 And Jefus faid unto the centurion, 
 Go thy way, and as thou haft be-

 And his fervant was healed in the

 ed, fome fell by the way-fide, awd 
 it was trodden down, and the fowls 
 of the air devoured it. And fome
 
 Qiiinquagcfima Sunday. 
 
 fell upon a rock, and as foon as it 
 was fprung up, it withered away, 
 becaufe it lacked moifture. And 
 fome fell among thorns, and the 
 thorns fprang up with it, and 
 choked it. And other fell on good 
 ground, and fprang up, and bare 
 fruit an hundred-fold. And when 
 he had faid tliefe things, he cried. 
 He that hath ears to hear, let him 
 hear. And his difciples afl^ed him, 
 faying, What might this parable 
 be? And he faid, Unto you it is 
 given to know the myfteries of the 
 kingdom of God : but to others in 
 parables ; that feeing they might 
 not fee, and hearing they might 
 not underftand. Now the parable 
 is this : The feed is the Word of 
 God. Thofe by the way-fide are 
 they that hear ; then cometh the 
 devil, and taketh away the word 
 out of their hearts, left they Ihould 
 believe, and be faved. They on the 
 rock are they, which, when they 
 hear, receive the word with joy; 
 and thefe have no root, which for a 
 while believe, and in time of temp- 
 tation fall away. And that which 
 fell among thorns, are they, which, 
 when they have heard, go forth, 
 and are choked with cares, and 
 riches, and pleafures of this life, and 
 bring no fruit to perfedHon. But 
 that on the good ground, are they, 
 which in an honeft and good heart, 
 having heard the word, keep it, and 
 bring forth fruit with patience.

 The Colle&. 
 Lord, who haft taught us that 
 all our doings without charity 
 are nothing worth ; Send thy Holy 
 Ghoft, and pour into our hearts 
 that moft excellent gift of charity, 
 the veiy bond of peace and of all 
 virtues, without which whofoever 
 liveth is counted dead before thee : 
 Grant this for thine only Son Jefus 
 Chrift's fake. Amen. 
 
 The Epijile. 1 Cor. xiii. 1. 
 
 THOUGH I fpeak mth the 
 tongues of men and of angels, 
 and have not charity, I am become 
 as founding brafs, or a tinldmg 
 cymbal. And though I have the 
 gift of prophecy, and undei'ftand 
 all myfteries, and all knowledge; 
 and though I have all faith, fo that 
 I could remove mountains, and 
 have no charity, I am nothing. 
 And though I beftow all my goods 
 to feed the poor, and though I 
 give my body to be burned, and 
 have not charity, it profiteth me 
 nothing. Charity fuffereth long, 
 and is kind ; charity envieth not ; 
 charity vaunteth not itfelf, is not 
 pufted up, doth not behave itfelf 
 unfeemly, feeketh not her own, is 
 not eafily provoked, thinketh no 
 evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but 
 rejoiceth in the truth ; beareth all 
 things, believeth all things, hop- 
 eth all things, endureth all things.

 Chai'ity never failetli : but whethei- 
 there be prophecies, they fhall fail; 
 whether there be tongues, they 
 {hall ceafe; whether there be know- 
 ledge, it fhall vanilh away. For we 
 know in part, and we jjrophefy in 
 part. But when that which is per- 
 fect is come, then that which is in 
 part (hall be done away. When I 
 was a child, I fpake as a child, I 
 imderftood as a diild, 1 thought as 
 (t child ; but when I became a man, 
 I put away childifli things. For 
 now we fee through a glafs darkly; 
 but then face to face : now I know 
 in part ; bnt then fliall I know even 
 as alfo I am kno\^ai. And now 
 abideth faith, hope, charity, thefe 
 three ; but the gTcateft of thefe is 
 charity. 
 The Go/pel. St. Luke xviii. 31. 
 
 THEN Jefus took unto him the 
 twelve, and faid unto them, 
 Behold, we go up to Jerufalem, 
 and all tilings that are \^Titten by 
 the pro{)hets concerning the Son 
 of Man fhall be accomplillied. For 
 he fhall be delivered unto the Gen- 
 tiles, and fhall be hiocked, and 
 fpitefully entreated, and fpitted on : 
 and they fliall fcourge him, and 
 put him to death ; and the third 
 day he fhall i-ife again. And they 
 nnderflood none of thefe things : 
 and this faying was hid from them, 
 neither knew they the things which 
 were fpoken. And it came to pafs, 
 that as he was come 
 
 nigh 
 
 unto 
 
 Jericho, a certain blind man fat 
 by the way-fide begging : and 
 hearing the multitude pals by, he 
 allied what it meant. And they 
 told him, that Jefus of Nazareth 
 paffeth by. And he cried, faying, 
 Jefus, thou Son of David, have 
 mercy on me. And they which 
 went before rebuked him, that he 
 fhould hold his peace : but he cried 
 fo much the more, Thou Son of 
 David, have mercy on me. And 
 Jefus flood, and commandecl him 
 to be broup-ht unto him : and when 
 he was come near, he afked hiin, 
 faying, What vnXt thou that I 
 fliould do unto thee ? And he faid, 
 Lord, that I may recei^'e my fight. 
 And Jefus faid unto him, Receive 
 thy fight ; thy faith hath faved thee. 
 And immediately he received his 
 fight, and followed him, glorifying 
 God: and all the people, when they 
 faw it, gav^e praife unto God.

 THEN was Jefus led up of the 
 Spirit into the wildcrnefs, to 
 be tempted of the devil. And 
 when he had fafted forty days and

 hungred. yVnd when the tempter 
 came to him, he faid, If thou be

 thefe ftones be made bread. But 
 he anfwered and faid, It is written, 
 Man fball not live by bread alone, 
 but by every word that proceedeth 
 out of the mouth of God. Then 
 the devil taketli him up into the 
 holy city, and fetteth him on a 
 pinnacle of the temple, and faith 
 imto him, If thou be the Son of

 ^vritten, He Ihall give his angels 
 charge concerning thee, and in 
 their hands they fliall bear thee 
 up, left at any time thou daih thy

 ihalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 
 Again, the devil taketh him up in- 
 to an exceeding high mountain, 
 and fheweth him all the kingdoms 
 of the world, and the gloiy of them;

 is acceptable vmto the Lord. And 
 have no fellowilii[) with the unfruit- 
 fiil works of darknefs, but rather 
 re})rove them : for it is a fhame 
 even to fpeak of thofe things which 
 are done of them in fecret. But 
 all things that are reprov^ed are 
 made manifeft by the Uglit : for

 Gofpd. St. Luke xi. 14. 
 ESUS was calling out a devil, 
 and it was diunb. And it came 
 
 to pafs, when the devil was gone 
 out, the dumb fpake; and the peo- 
 ple wondered. But fome of them 
 laid, He calleth out devils through 
 Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. 
 And others, tempting him, fought 
 of liim a fign from heaven. But 
 he, knowing their thoughts, faid 
 unto them, Every kingdom divided 
 againft itfelf is brought to defola- 
 tion ; and a houfe divided againft 
 a houfe falleth. If Satan alfo be 
 divided againft himfelf, how fliall 
 his kingdom ftand? becaufe ye fay, 
 that I call out devils through Beel- 
 zebub. And if I by Beelzebub 
 caft out devils, by whom do your 
 fons caft them out? therefore fliall 
 they be your judges. But if I with 
 the finger of God caft out devils, 
 no doubt the khigdom of God is 
 come upon you. When a ftrong 
 man armed keepeth his palace, Ijds 
 goods are in peace ; but when a 
 ftronger than he Ihall come upon 
 him, and overcome him, he taketh 
 from him all his armour wherein 
 he trulled, and divideth his fpoils. 
 He that is not with me is againft 
 me : and he that gathereth not with 
 me fcattereth. When the imclean 
 
 fpirit is gone out of a man, he 
 walketh through dry places, feek-

 I will return unto my houfe whence 
 I came out. And when he cometh,

 TELL me, ye that delire to be 
 imder the law, do ye not hear 
 the law? For it is written, that 
 Abraham had two fons, the one by 
 a bond-maid, the other by a free- 
 woman. But he who was of the 
 bond-woman was born after the 
 flefti ; but he of the free-woman 
 was by promife. Which things are 
 an allegoiy : for thefe are the two 
 covenants ; the one from the mount 
 Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, 
 which is Agar. For this Agar is 
 mount Sinai in Arabia, and an- 
 fwereth to Jerufalem which now 
 
 is, and is in bondage with her 
 children. But Jerufalem which is 
 above is free ; which is the mother 
 of us all. For it is written. Rejoice, 
 thou barren that beareft not ; break 
 forth and cry, thou that travaileft 
 not : for the defolate hath many 
 more children than llie which hath 
 ail hulband. Now we, brethren, 
 as Ifaac was, are the children of 
 promife. But as then he that was 
 born after the flefti perfecuted him 
 that was born after the Spirit ; even 
 fo it is now. Neverthelefs, what 
 faith the Scripture? Caft out the 
 bond- woman and her fon ; for the 
 fon of the bond- woman ftiall not 
 be heir with the fon of the fi-ee- 
 woman. So then, brethren, we are 
 not children of the bond-woman, 
 but of the free.

 w^hich hath five barley loaves, and 
 two fniall fillies : but what are they

 Make the men fit down. Now 
 there was much grafs in the place. 
 So the men fat down, in number 
 about five thoufand. And Jefus 
 took the loaves, and when he had 
 given thanks he diftributed to the 
 difciples, and the difciples to them 
 that were fet do\vn ; and likewife of 
 the fiflies as much as they would. 
 When they were filled, he faid 
 unto his difciples, Gather up the 
 fragments that remain, that no- 
 thing be loft. Therefore they ga- 
 thered them together, and filled 
 twelve bafl^ets with the fragments 
 of the five barley-loaves, which re- 
 mained over and above unto them 
 that had eaten. Then thofe men, 
 when they had feen the miracle 
 that Jefus did, faid, This is of a

 putation, and took upon him the 
 form of a fervant, and was made 
 in the likenefs of men : and being 
 found in fafliion as a man, he hum- 
 bled himfelf, and became obedient 
 unto death, even the death of the 
 crofs. Wherefore God alfo hath 
 highly exalted him, and given him 
 a Name which is above every 
 name ; that at the Name of Jefus 
 every knee fliould bow, of things 
 in heaven, and thing's in earth, 
 and things under the earth; and 
 that every tongue fliould confefs 
 that Jefus Chrift is Lord, to the 
 glory of God the Father.

 'Die Go/pel. St. Mattli. xx\ii. 1. 
 
 WHEN tlie morning was 
 come, all the chief priefts 
 and elders of the people took coiin- 
 fel againft Jefus, to put him to 
 death. And when they had bound 
 him, they led him away, and deli- 
 vered him to Pontius Pilate the 
 governour. Then Judas who had 
 betrayed him, when he faw that he 
 was condemned, repented himfelf, 
 and brought again the thirty pieces 
 of lilver to the chief priefts and 
 elders, faying, I have finned, in 
 that I have betrayed the innocent 
 blood. And they laid, What is that 
 to us? fee thou to that. And he 
 caft down the pieces of filver in 
 the temple, and departed, and 
 went and hanged himfelf. And 
 the chief priefts took the lilver 
 pieces, and faid. It is not lawful for 
 to put them into the treafury, be- 
 caide it is the price of blood. And 
 they took counfel, and bought with 
 them the potters field, to bury 
 ftrangers in. Wherefore that field 
 was called, The field of blood, unto 
 this day. (Then was fulfilled that 
 which was fpoken by Jeremy the 
 prophet, faying, And they took the 
 thirty pieces of filver, the })rice of 
 him that was valued, whom they 
 of the children of Ifrael did value, 
 and gave them for the j)otter's field, 
 as the Lord appointed me*) And 
 .Jefus ftood l)efore the goveniourj 
 and tiie governour alkedjmuj fay- 
 
 t before Eajter. 
 
 ing, Art thou the King of the 
 Jews? And Jefus faid unto him, 
 Thou fayeft. And when he was ac- 
 cufed of the chief priefts and eld- 
 ers, he anfwered nothino;. Then 
 faith Pilate unto him, Heareft thou 
 not how many things they witnefs 
 againft thee? And he anfwered him 
 to never a word, infomuch that 
 the governoiu" marvelled greatly. 
 Now at that feaft the governour 
 was wont to releafe luito the peo- 
 ple a prifoner, whom they would. 
 And they had then a notable pri- 
 foner, called Barabbas. Therefore 
 when they were gathered together, 
 Pilate faid vmto thein, Whom will 
 ye that I releafe unto you? Barab- 
 bas, or Jefus which is called Chrift? 
 For he knew that for en^y they 
 had delivered him. When he was 
 fet down on the judgement-feat, 
 his wife fent unto him, faying, 
 Have thou nothing to do with that 
 juft man : for I have fuftered many 
 things this day in a dream becaufe 
 of him. But the chief priefts and 
 elders perfuaded the multitude that 
 they fliould aik Barabbas, and de- 
 
 ftroy Jefus. The governour an- 
 fwered and faid unto them, Whe- 
 ther of the twain will ve that , jt 
 releafe unto you? They faid, B^f* 
 rabbas. Pilate faith unto them, 
 What Ihall 1 do then with Jefus, 
 which is called Chrift? They all 
 fay unto him, Let him be crucified.

 what evil hath he clone? But they 
 cried out the more, laying, Let 
 him be crucified. When Pilate 
 faw that he could prevail nothing, 
 but that rather a tumult was made, 
 he took water, and waflied his hands 
 before the multitude, faying, I am 
 
 innocent of the blood of this juft 
 perfon : fee ye to it. Then anfwer- 
 ed all the people, and faid, His 
 blood be on us, and on our chil- 
 di*en. Then releafed he Barabbas 
 unto them: and when he had 
 fcourged Jefus he delivered him 
 to be crucified. Then the foldiers 
 of the goveniour took Jefus into 
 the common hall, and gathered un- 
 to him the whole band of foldiers. 
 And they ftripped him, and put on 
 him a fcarlet robe. And when they 
 had platted a cro^vn of thorns they 
 put it upon his head, and a reed 
 in his right hand : and they bowed 
 the knee before him, and mocked 
 him, faying, Hail, King of the Jews. 
 And they fpit upon him, and took 
 the reed, and fmote him on the 
 head. And alter that they had 
 mocked him they took the robe off 
 fi'om him, and put his own raiment 
 on him, and led him away to cru- 
 cify him. And as they came out 
 they found a man of Cyrene, Si- 
 mon by name ; him they compel- 
 led to bear his crofs. And when 
 they were come unto a place call- 
 ed Golgotha, that is to fay, a place 
 of a fcull, they gave him vinegar 
 
 to drink mingled with gall : and 
 when he had tailed thereof, he 
 would not drink. And they cruci- 
 fied him, and parted his gannents, 
 calling lots : that it might be ful- 
 filled, which was fpoken by the 
 prophet, They parted my garments 
 among them, and upon my veilure 
 did they call lots. And fitting down 
 they watched him there ; and let 
 up over his head his accufation 
 written, THIS IS JESUS THE 
 KING OF THE JEWS. Then 
 were there two thieves cmcified 
 with him ; one on the right hand, 
 and another on the left. And they 
 that paffed by reviled him, wagging 
 their heads, and faying. Thou that 
 dellroyeft the temple, and build- 
 eft it in three days, fave thyfelf : 
 if thou be the Son of God, come 
 down from the crofs. Likewife 
 alfo the chief priefts mocking him, 
 with the fcribes and elders, faidy 
 He faved others, himfeif he cannot 
 fave : if he be the King of Ifrael, 
 let him now come down from the 
 crofs, and we will believe liiniY 
 He trufted in God ; let him deliver 
 him now, if he will have him : for 
 he faid, I am the Son of God. The 
 thieves alfo, which were crucified 
 with him, caft the fame in his teeth.« 
 Now from the fixth hour there was 
 darknefs over all the land unto the 
 ninth hour. And about the ninth 
 hour Jefus cried with a loud voice, 
 faying, £/?, Eli, lama fabachthanii
 
 Monday before Eqfter. 
 
 tFat is to fay, My God, my God, 
 why haft thou forfaken me? Some 
 of them that flood there, when they 
 heard that, faid. This man calleth 
 for EHas. And ftraightway one of 
 them ran, and took a fpunge, and 
 filled it with \inegar, and put it 
 on a reed, and gave him to drink. 
 The reft faid. Let be, let ns fee 
 whether Elias will come to fave 
 him. Jefus, when he had cried 
 again with a loud voice, yielded 
 up the ghoft. And behold, the vail 
 of the temple was rent in twain 
 fi'om the top to the bottom, and 
 the earth did quake, and the rocks 
 rent, and the graves were opened, 
 and many bodies of faints which 
 flept arofe, and came out of the 
 graves after his refuiTe<5lion, and 
 went into the holy city, and ap- 
 peared unto many. Now when the 
 centurion, and they that were with 
 him, watching Jefus, faw the earth- 
 quake, and thofe things that were 
 done, they feared greatly, faying, 
 Truly this was the Son of God.

 WHO is this that cometh from 
 Kdom, with dyed garments 
 from Bozrah? this that is glorious 
 in his apparel, travelling in tlie 
 greatnefs of his ftrength? 1 that 
 fpeak in righteoufnefs, mighty to 
 fave. Where^fore art thou red in 
 thine apparel, and thy garments 
 
 like him that treadeth in the wine- 
 fat? I have trodden the ^vine-prefs 
 alone, and of the people there was 
 none with me : for I will tread 
 them in mine anger, and trample 
 them in my fury, and their blood 
 (hall be fprinkled upon my gar-

 ment. For the day of vengeance 
 is in mine heart, and the year of 
 my redeemed is come. And I 
 looked, and there was none to help; 
 and I ^v^ondered that there was 
 none to uphold : therefore mine 
 own arm brought falvation unto 
 me, and my fury it upheld me. 
 And I will tread doAvn the people

 do^vn their ftrength to the earth. 
 I will mention the loving-kindnefles

 Surely they are my people, children

 Saviour. In all their affli6tion he 
 was afflicted, and the angel of his

 therefore he was turned to be their 
 enemy, and he fought againft them. 
 Then he remembered the days of 
 old, Mofes and his people, faying, 
 Where is he that brought them 
 up out of the fea with the fliepherd 
 of his flock? where is he that put 
 his Holy Spirit within him? that 
 led them by the right hand of Mo- 
 fes, with his glorious arm, dividing 
 the water before them, to make 
 himfelf an everlafting Name? that 
 led them through the deep as an 
 horfe in the wildernefs, that they 
 Ihould not ftumble? As a beaft 
 goeth down into the valley, the 
 Spirit of the Lord caufed him to

 to make thyfelf a glorious Name. 
 Look down from heaven, and be- 
 hold from the habitation of thy 
 holinefs, and of thy glory : where 
 is thy zeal, and thy ftrength, the 
 founding of thy bowels, and of thy 
 mercies towards me? Are they re- 
 ftrained? Doubtlefs thou art our 
 Father, though Abraham be igno- 
 rant of us, and Ifrael acknowledge 
 us not : Thou, O Lord, art our

 is from everlafting. O Lord, why 
 haft thou made us to eiT from thy

 Jlic Go/pel. St. Mark xiv. L 
 
 AFTER two days Avas the feaft 
 of the Paffover, and of unlea- 
 vened bread : and the chief priefts 
 and the fcribes fought how they 
 might take him by craft, and j^ut 
 him to death. But they faid, Not ' 
 on the feaft-day, left there be an 
 uproar of the people. And being 
 in Bethany, in the houfe of Simon 
 the leper, as he fat at meat, there 
 came a woman having an alabafter 
 box of ointment of fpikenard, veiy 
 precious ; and flie brake the box, 
 and poured it on his head. And 
 there were fome that had indigna- 
 tion within themfelves, and faid, 
 Why was this wafte of the ointment 
 made ? for it mig-ht have been fold 
 for more than three hundred pences 
 and have been given to the poor; 
 and they murmured againft her. 
 And Jefus faid. Let her alone ; why 
 trouble ye her? ftie hath wrought 
 a good work on me : for ye have 
 the poor with you always, and 
 whenfoever ye will ye may do them 
 good; but me ye have not always. 
 She hath done what ftie could ; flie 
 is come aforehand to anoint my 
 body to the bur^nng. Verily I fay

 fliall be preached throughout the 
 whole world, this alfo that ihe hath

 done ftiall be fpoken of for a me- 
 morial of lier. And Judas Ifcaiiot, 
 one of the twelve, went unto the 
 chief priefts to betray him unto 
 them. And when they heard it 
 *they were glad, and promifed to 
 give him money. And he fought 
 liow he might conveniently betray 
 bim. And the firft day of unlea- 
 vened bread, when they killed the 
 pafTover, his difciples faid unto him, 
 Where wilt thou that we, go and 
 prepare, that thou mayeft eat the 
 paflbver? And he fendeth forth 
 two of his difciples, and faith unto 
 them, Go ye into the city, and there 
 fball meet you a man bearing a 
 pitcher of water; follow him: And 
 wherefoever he Ihall go in, fay ye 
 to the good-man of the houfe. The 
 Matter faith, Where is the gueft- 
 chamber, where I Ihall eat the paff- 
 over with my difciples? And he 
 will fliew you a large upper room 
 furnilhed, and prepared : there 
 make ready for us. And his dif- 
 ciples went forth, and came into 
 the city, and found as he had faid 
 unto them : and they made ready 
 the paflbver. And in the evening 
 he Cometh with the twelve. And 
 as they fat, and did eat, Jefus faid, 
 Verily I fay unto you. One of you 
 which eateth with me fliall betray 
 me. And they began to be for- 
 rowful, and to fay unto him one 
 by one, Is it I ? and another faid, 
 Is it I? And he anfvvered and faid 
 
 Moiiday before Eqfter. 
 
 umo them, It is one of the twelve 
 that dippeth with me in the difli. 
 The Son of Man indeed goeth, as 
 it is ^\Titten of him : but avo to that 
 man by whom the Son of Man is 
 betrayed: good were it for that 
 man if he had never been born. 
 And as they did eat, Jefus took 
 bread, and blefled, and brake it, 
 and gave to them, and faid. Take, 
 eat : this is my body. And he took 
 the cupj and when he had given 
 thanks he gave it to them : and they 
 all drank of it. And he faid imto 
 them. This is my blood of the new 
 teftament, which is flied for many. 
 Verily I fay unto you, I will drink 
 no more of the fruit of the vine, 
 until that day that I drink it new 
 in the Kingdom of God. And 
 when they had fung an hymn they 
 went out into the mount of Olives, 
 And Jefus faith unto them, All ye 
 fliall be offended becaufe of me 
 this night: for it is ^vi'itten, I will 
 finite the fliepherd, and the flieep 
 fliall be fcattered. But, after that 
 I am rifen I will go before you in- 
 to Galilee. But Peter faid unto 
 him. Although all fliall be ott'end- 
 ed, yet will not I. And Jefus faith 
 unto him. Verily I fay unto thee, 
 That this day, even in this night, 
 before the cock crow twice, thou 
 flialt deny me thrice. But he fpake 
 the more vehemently. If 1 fliould 
 die with thee, I will not deny thee 
 in any wife. Like wife alfo faid

 they all. And they came to a place 
 which was named Gethfemane: and 
 he faith to his difciples, Sit ye here, 
 while I fliall pray. And he taketh 
 with him Peter, and James, and 
 John, and began to be fore amaz- 
 ed, and to be very heavy, and faith 
 unto them, My foul is exceeding 
 forrowful unto death ; tarry ye here, 
 and watch. And he went forward 
 a little, and fell on the ground, and 
 prayed, that, if it were poffible, the 
 hour might pafs from him. And 
 he faid, Abba, Father, all things 
 are poffible unto thee; take away 
 this cup from me ; neverthelefs, not 
 what I will, but what thou wilt. 
 And he cometh and findeth them 
 fleeping, and faith unto Peter, Si- 
 mon, fleepeft thou? eouldeft; not 
 thou watch one hour? Watch ye 
 and pray, left ye enter into tempta- 
 tion : the fpuit tinily is ready, but 
 the flelh is weak. And again he 
 went away, and prayed, and fpake 
 the fame words. And when he 
 returned he found them afleep a- 
 gain, (for their eyes were heavy,) 
 neither wift they what to anl^ver 
 him. And he cometh the third 
 time, and faith unto them. Sleep 
 on now, and take your reft : it is 
 enough, the hour is come ; behold, 
 the Son of Man is betmyed into 
 the hands of finners. Rife up, let 
 us go ; lo, he that beti'ayeth me is 
 at hand. And immediately, while 
 h^ yet fpake, cometh Judas, bne of 
 
 the twelve, and with him a great 
 multitude with fwords and ftaves, 
 from the chief priefts, and the 
 fcribes, and the elders. And he 
 that betrayed him had given them 
 a token, faying, Whomfoever I 
 ftiall kifs, that fame is he ; take 
 him, and lead him away fafely. 
 And as foon as he was come he 
 goeth ftraightway to him, and faith, 
 M after, matter; and killed him. 
 And they laid their hands on him, 
 and took him. And one of them 
 that ftood by drew a fword, and 
 fmote a fervant of the high prieft, 
 and cut off his ear. And Jefus 
 anfwered, and faid unto them, Are 
 ye come out as againft a thief, with 
 fwords and with ftaves, to take me? 
 I was daily with you in the temple 
 teaching, and ye took me' not: but 
 the Scriptures muft be fulfilled,^ 
 And they all foi-fook him, and fled. 
 And there followed him a certain 
 young man, having a linen cloth 
 caft about his naked body ; and 
 the young men laid hold on him : 
 and he left the linen cloth, and 
 fled from them naked. And they 
 led Jefus away to the high prieft :; 
 and with him were affembled all 
 the chief priefts, and the elders^ 
 and the fcribes. And Peter fol-„ 
 lowed him afar off, even into the!!, 
 palace of the high prieft ; and he 
 fat with the fervants, and warmed, 
 himfelf at the fire. And the chief 
 prieftiS and all the council fougiit
 
 Tiiefday before Eajler. 
 
 for Avitnefs againft Jefus to put liim 
 to death ; and found none. For 
 many bare falfe ^vitnefs againft 
 him, but their ^vitnefs agreed not 
 together. And there arofe cer- 
 tain, and bare falfe witnefs againft 
 him, faying, We heard liim fay, I 
 will deftroy this temple that is 
 made with hands, and mthin three 
 days I will build another made 
 without hands. But neither fo did 
 their witnefs agree together. And 
 the high prieftftood up in themidft, 
 and alked Jefus, faying, Anfwereft 
 thou nothing? what is it which 
 thefe ^vitnefs againft thee ? But he 
 held his peace, and anfwered no- 
 thmg. Again the high prieft alk- 
 ed him, and faid unto him, Art 
 thou the Chrift, the Son of the 
 Bleflfed ? ' And Jefus faid, I am ; 
 and ye fliall fee the Son of Man 
 fitting on the right hand of power, 
 and coming in the clouds of hea- 
 ven. Then the high jjrieft rent 
 his clothes, and faith, What need 
 we any further witnefles? ye have 
 heard the blafphemy : what think 
 ye? And they all condemned him 
 to be guilty of death. And fome 
 began to fpit on him, and to cover 
 his face, and to buftet him, and to fay 
 unto him, Prophefy : and the fer- 
 vants did ftrike him with the palms 
 of their hands. And as Peter was 
 beneath in the palace there com- 
 eth one of the maids of the high 
 prieft; and when ftie faw Peter 
 
 warming himfelf ftie looked upon 
 him, and faid. And thou alfo waft 
 with Jefus of Nazareth. But he 
 denied, faying, I know not, neither 
 imderftand I what thou fayeft. And 
 he went out into the porch ; and 
 the cock crew. And a maid faw 
 him again, and began to fay to 
 them that ftood by. This is one of 
 them. And he denied it ag^ain. 
 And a little after, they that ftood 
 by faid again to Peter, Surely thou 
 art one of them ; for thou art a 
 Galilean, and thy fpeech agreeth 
 thereto. But he began to curfe 
 and to fwear, faying, I know not 
 this man of whom ye fpeak. And 
 the fecond time the cock crew. 
 And Peter called to mind the word 
 that Jefus faid unto him. Before 
 the cock crow twice, thou flialt 
 deny me thrice. And when he 
 thought thereon, he wept.

 AND ftraightway in the morn- 
 ing the chief priefi;s held a 
 confultation with the elders, and 
 fcribes, and the whole council, and 
 bound Jefus, and carried him away, 
 and delivered him to Pilate. And 
 Pilate aflved him, Art thou the King 
 of the Jews? And he anfwering 
 faid unto him, Thou fayefl; it. And 
 the chief priefl;s accufed him of 
 many things : but he anfwered no- 
 thing. And Pilate aflved him again, 
 faying, Anfwerefl; thou nothing? 
 behold how many things they wit- 
 nefs againil thee. But Jefus yet 
 anfwered nothing: fo that Pilate 
 marvelled. Now at that feaft he 
 
 releafed unto them one prifoner, 
 whomfoever they defired. And 
 there was one named Barabbas, 
 which lay bound with them that 
 had made infurre^tion with him, 
 who had committed murder in the 
 infurre^lion. And the multitude, 
 ciying aloud, began to defire him 
 to do as he had ever done unto 
 them. But Pilate anfwered them, 
 faying. Will ye that I releafe unto 
 you the King of the Jews? For he 
 knew that the chief priefl;s had de-i 
 livered him for envy. But the chief 
 priefts moved the people, that he 
 fliould rather releafe Barabbas un- 
 to them. And Pilate anfwered, 
 and faid again unto them, Wliat 
 will ye then that I fliall do unto 
 him whom ye call the King of the 
 Jews? And they cried out again. 
 Crucify him. Then Pilate faid unto 
 them. Why, what evil hath he 
 done? And they cried out the more 
 exceedingly. Crucify him. And fo 
 Pilate, willing to content the peo- 
 ple, releafed Barabbas unto them; 
 and delivered Jefus, when he had 
 fcourged him, to be crucified. And 
 the foldiers led him away into the 
 hall, called Pra^torium; and they 
 call together the whole band. And 
 they clothed him with purple, and 
 platted a crown of thorns, and put 
 it about his head : and began to 
 falute him. Hail, King of the Jews. 
 And they fmote him on the lieac^ 
 with a reed, and did fpit upon him, 
 O
 
 and bowing their knees worfliip- 
 ped him. And when they had 
 mocked him they took off the pur- 
 ple firom him, and put his own 
 clothes on him, and led him out to 
 crucify him. And they compel one 
 Simon a Cyrenian, who palled by, 
 coming out of the countiy, the fa- 
 ther of Alexander and Rufus, to 
 bear his crofs. And they bring 
 him unto the place Golgotha, wliich 
 is, being interpreted, The place of 
 a fcuU. And they gave him to 
 drink wine mingled with myrrh ; 
 but he received it not. And when 
 they had crucified him they part- 
 ed his garments, calling lots upon 
 them, what every man fhould take. 
 And it was the third hoiu', and they 
 crucified him. And the fuperfcrip- 
 tion of his accufation was written 
 over, THE KING OF THE 
 iJEWS. And with liim they cru- 
 bify two thieves, the one on his 
 right hand, and the other on his 
 left. And the fcripture was ful- 
 filled, which faith. And he was 
 numbered with the tranfgreHbrs. 
 And they that ijall'ed by railed on 
 him, wagging their heads, and fay- 
 ing, Ah, thou that deftroyeft the 
 temple, and buildell it in three 
 days, fave thyfelf, and come down 
 from the crols. Likewifc alfo the 
 chief priefls mocking faid among 
 themfelves, with the fcribes, He 
 faved others ; himfelf he cannot 
 fave. Let Chrill the King of If- 
 
 Wednefday before Eqfter. 
 
 rael defcend now from the crofs, 
 that we may fee and believe. And 
 they that were crucified Avith him 
 reviled him. And when the fixth 
 hour was come, there was dark- 
 nefs over the whole land until the 
 ninth hour. And at the ninth hour 
 Jefus cried with a loud voice, fay- 
 ing, Eloi, Eloi, lama fahachthwii ? 
 which is, being interpreted, My 
 God, my God, why haft thou for- 
 faken me? And fome of them that 
 ftood by, when they heard it, faid. 
 Behold, he calleth Elias. And one 
 ran and filled a fpunge full of \'ine- 
 gar, and put it on a reed, and gave 
 him to drink, faying. Let alone ; 
 let us fee whether Elias will come 
 to take him down. And Jefus 
 cried with a loud voice, and gave 
 up the ghoft. And the vail of the 
 temple was rent in twain from the 
 top to the bottom. And when the 
 centurion, which ftood over againft 
 him, faw that he fo cried out, and 
 gave up the ghoft, he faid, IVuly 
 this man was the Son of God.

 The Epiftle. Hebrews ix. 16. i 
 HERE a teftament is, there 
 mull alfo of neceflity be the 
 death bf the teftator: for a tefta- 
 ment is of force after men are dead; 
 otherwifc it is of no ftreno-th at all 
 whilft the teftator liveth. Where- 
 upon, neither the firft teftament 
 was dedicated Avithout blood: for
 
 when Mofes had fpokeii every pre- 
 cept to all the people, according 
 to the law, he took the blood of 
 calves and of goats, with water, 
 and fcarlet wool, and hyfi'op, and 
 fprinkled both the book, and all the 
 people, faying, This is the blood 
 of the teilanient, which God hath 
 enjoined unto you. Moreover, he 
 fprinkled with blood both the ta- 
 bernacle, and all the velfels of the 
 miniftry. And ahnoll all things are 
 by the law purged with blood ; and 
 without fliedding of blood is no 
 remiffion. It was therefore necef- 
 fary that the patterns of things in 
 the heavens fliould be purified with 
 thefe ; but the heavenly things 
 themfelves with better facrifices 
 than thefe. For Chrift is not en- 
 tered into the holy places made 
 with hands, which are the figures 
 of the true, but into heaven itfelf, 
 now to appear in the prefence of 
 God for us ; nor yet that he ftiould 
 offer himfelf often, as the high 
 prieft entereth into the holy place 
 eveiy year with blood of others : 
 for then mull he often have fuftered 
 fince the foundation of the world ; 
 but now once in the end of the 
 world hath he appeared to put a- 
 way fin by the facrifice of himfelf 
 And as it is appointed unto men 
 once to die, but after this the 
 judgement : fo Chrift was once of- 
 fered to bear the fins of many; 
 ^nd unto them that look for him

 NOW the feaft of unleavened 
 br 
 
 ead drew nigh, which is 
 called the Palfover. And the chief 
 priefts and fcribes fought how they 
 might kill him ; for thev feared the 
 people. Then entered Satan into 
 Judas furnanied Ifcariot, being of 
 the number of the twelve. And 
 he went his way, and commmied 
 with the chief priefts and captains, 
 how he mifjht betrav him unto 
 them. And they were glad, and 
 covenanted to give hmi money. 
 And he promifed, and fought op?- 
 portunity to betray him unto them 
 in the abfence of the multitude. 
 Then came the day of unleavened 
 bread, when the paflbver muft be 
 killed. And he fent Peter and 
 John, faying. Go and prepare us 
 the paflbver, that we may eat. Aiid 
 they faid unto him, Where wilt 
 thou that we prepare? And he faid 
 unto them, Behold, when ye are 
 entered into the city, there ihall a 
 man meet you, bearing a pitcher 
 of water; follow him into the houfe 
 where he entereth in. And ye Ihall 
 fay unto the good-man of the houfe, 
 The Mafter faith unto thee, Where 
 is the gueft-chamber, where I fliall 
 eat the paflbver with my difciples? 
 And he fliall (hew you a large 
 upper room fumiflied ; there make 
 ready. And they went, and found 
 Oa
 
 Wednefday before Eafier. 
 
 as he had faid unto them : and they 
 made ready the pailbver. And 
 when the hour was come he fat 
 down, and the twelve Ajjoltles with 
 him. And he faid unto them, With 
 delire I have deiired to eat this 
 palfover with yo" before 1 fuflfer : 
 for I fay unto you, I will not any 
 more eat thereof, until it be fulfil- 
 led in the Kingdom of God. And 
 he took the cup, and gave thanks, 
 and faid, Take this, and divide it 
 among" yourfelves. For I fay unto 
 you, I will not drink of the fruit 
 
 of the vine, until the Kingdom of 
 God fhall come. And he took 
 bread, and gave thanks, and brake 
 it, and gave unto them, faying. This 
 is my body, which is given for you : 
 this do in remembrance of me. 
 Like\^'ife alfo the cup after fupper, 
 faying, This cup is the new tella- 
 ment in my blood, which is flied 
 for you. But behold, the hand of 
 him that betrayeth me is with me 
 on the table. And tnily the Son 
 of Man goeth as it was determined; 
 but wo imto that man by whom 
 he is betrayed. And tliev bec^an to 
 enquire among themfelves, which 
 of them it was that fliould do this 
 thing. And there was alfo a ftrife 
 among them, which of them flioukl 
 be accounted the j^reatell. And 
 lie faid unto them, '\\\v kinus of 
 the Gentiles exercife lordfliip over 
 them, and they that exercilb au- 
 thority upon them are called bene- 
 
 fablors. But ye fliall not be fo : 
 but he that is greateft among you, 
 let him be as the younger; and 
 he that is chief, as he that doth 
 fei-ve. For whether is greater, he 
 that fitteth at meat, or he that 
 ferveth? is not he that fitteth at 
 meat? but I am among you as he 
 that ferveth. Ye are they which 
 have continued with me in my 
 temptations. And I appoint unto 
 you a kingdom, as my Father hath 
 appointed unto me ; that ye may 
 eat and drink at my table in my 
 kingdom, and fit on thrones, judg- 
 ing the twelve tribes of Ifrael. 
 And the Lord faid, Simon, Simon, 
 behold, Satan hath defired to have 
 you, that he may fift you as wheat : 
 but I have prayed for thee, that 
 thy faith fail not ; and when thou 
 art converted, llrengthen thy bre- 
 thren. And he faid unto him. 
 Lord, I am ready to go with thee 
 both into prifon and to death. And 
 he faid, I tell thee, Peter, the cock 
 fliall not crow this day, before that 
 thou (lialt thrice deny that thou 
 knoweft me. And he laid unto 
 them. When I fent you without 
 purfe, and fcrip, and Ihoes, lacked 
 ye any thing? And tliey faid. No- 
 thing. Then faid he unto them. 
 But now, he that hath a pui-fe, let 
 him take it, and likewife his fcrip: 
 and he that hatli no Iword, let him 
 fell his garment, and buy one. For 
 1 fay unto you. That this that is
 
 Wedyiefday before Eafier, 
 
 written miift yet be acconi])li(lied 
 in nie, And he was reckoned anionj^ 
 
 the tranfgreflbrs : for tlie 
 
 things 
 
 concerning me have an end. And 
 they faid, Lord, behohl, here are 
 two fwords. And he faid unto 
 them, It is enough. And he came 
 out, and went, as he was wont, to 
 the mount of OHves, and his difci- 
 ples alfo followed him. And when 
 he was at the place, he faid unto 
 them. Pray, that ye enter not into 
 temptation . And he was Avithdrawn 
 from them about a ftone's caft, and 
 kneeled down and prayed, faying, 
 Father, if thou be willing, remove 
 this cup from me : neverthelefs, 
 not my will, but thine be done. 
 And there appeared an angel unto 
 him fi'om heaven, ftrengthening 
 him. And being in an agony, he 
 prayed more earaeftly ; and his 
 fweat was as it were great drops of 
 blood falling down to the ground. 
 And when he rofe up from prayer, 
 and was come to his difciples, he 
 found them fleeping- for forrow, 
 and faid unto them, Why fleep ye? 
 rife and pray, left ye enter into 
 temptation. And while he yet 
 fpake, behold, a multitude, and he 
 that was called Judas, one of the 
 twelve, went before them, and 
 drew near unto Jefus to kifs him. 
 But Jefus faid unto him, Judas, 
 betrayeft thou the Son of Man with 
 a kifs? When they who were a- 
 bout him faw what would follow. 
 
 they faid imto him, Lord, fliall we 
 finite with the fword? And one of 
 them fmote the fei*vant of the hio-h 
 prieft, and cut off his right ear. 
 And Jefus anfwcred and i'aid, Suf- 
 fer ye thus far. And he touched 
 his ear, and healed him. llien 
 Jefus faid unto the chief ])riefts, 
 and captains of the temple, and 
 the elders who were come to him, 
 Be ye come out as againft a thief, 
 with fwords and ftaves? When I 
 was daily with you in the temple, 
 ye ftretched forth no hands againft 
 me : but this is your hour, and the 
 power of darknefs. Then took they 
 him, and led him, and brought him 
 into the high prieft's houfe : and 
 Peter followed afar oft'. And when 
 they had kindled a fire in the midft 
 of the hall, and were fet down to- 
 gether, Peter fat down among them. 
 But a certain maid beheld him, as 
 he fat by the fire, and earneftly 
 looked upon him, and faid, This 
 man was alfo with him. And he 
 denied him, faying, Woman, I 
 know him not. And after a little 
 while another faw him, and faid, 
 Thou art alfo of them. And Peter 
 faid, Man, I am not. And about 
 the fpace of one hour after, another 
 confidently affirmed, faying. Of a 
 truth this fellow alfo was with him ; 
 for he is a Galilean. And Peter 
 faid, Man, I know not what thou 
 fayeft. And immediately, while he 
 yet fpake, the cock crew. And the
 
 Thurfday 
 
 Lord turned, and looked upon 
 Peter; and Peter remembered the 
 word of the Lord, how he had faid 
 unto him. Before the cock crow, 
 thou flialt deny me thrice. And 
 Peter went out, and wept bit- 
 terly. And the men that held Je- 
 fus mocked liim, and fmote him. 
 And when they had bhndfolded 
 him, they ftruck him on the face, 
 find afked him, faying, Prophefy, 
 who is it that fmote thee? And 
 many other things blafphemouily 
 fpake they againil him. And as 
 foon as it was day, the elders of 
 the people, and the chief pnefts, 
 and the fciibes, came together, and 
 led him into their council, faying, 
 Art thou the Chrift? tell us. And 
 he faid unto them. If I tell you, ye 
 will not believe : and if I alfo alk 
 you, ye will not anfwer me, nor let 
 me go. Hereafter fliall the Son of 
 Man fit on the right hand of the 
 power of God. Then faid they all. 
 Art thou then the Son of God? 
 And he faid unto them. Ye fay 
 that I am. And they faid, What 
 need we any furtlier witnefs ? for 
 we ourfelves have heard of his OAvn 
 mouth.

 IN this that I declare unto you, 
 I ))raife you not ; that ye come 
 together not for the better, but for 
 the worfe. For firll of all, when 
 
 efomMafier. 
 
 ye come together in the church, I 
 hear that there be divifions among 
 you, and I partly believe it. For 
 there muft be alfo herefies among 
 you, that they who are approved 
 mav be made manifeft among- vou. 
 When ye come together therefore 
 into one place, this is not to eat 
 the Lord's fupj)er : for in eating 
 eveiy one taketh before other his 
 own flipper ; and one is hungry, 
 and another is drunken. What, 
 have ye not houfes to eat and to 
 drink in? or defpife ye the church 
 of God, and lliame them that have 
 not? What (hall I fay to yon? fliall 
 I praife you in this? I praife you 
 not. For I have received of the 
 Lord that which alfo I delivered 
 unto you, Tliat the Lord Jefus, the 
 fame night in which he was be- 
 trayed, took bread; and when he 
 had given thanks, he brake it, and 
 faid, Take, eat ; this is my body, 
 which is broken for you : this do 
 in remembrance of me. After the 
 fame manner alfo he took the cup, 
 when he had fupped, faying, This 
 cup is the new teft anient in my 
 blood : this do ye, as oft as ye drink 
 it, in remembrance of me. For as 
 often as ye eat this bread, and 
 drink this cup, ye do fliew the 
 Lord's death till he come. Where-* 
 fore, whofoever fliall eat this bread, 
 and drink this cup of the Lord, 
 unworthily, fliall be guilty of the 
 body and blood of the Lord. But
 
 Thurjilay before JEaficr. 
 
 let a man examine himfelf, and 
 fo let him eat of that bread, and 
 drink of that cup. For he that 
 eateth and drinketh unworthily 
 eateth and drinketh damnation to 
 himfelf, not difcerning the Lord's 
 body. For this caufe many are 
 weak and fickly among you, and 
 many fleep. For if we would judge 
 ourfelves, we Ihould not be judg- 
 ed. But when we are judged, we 
 are chaftened of the Lord, that 
 we fliould not be condemned with 
 the world. Wherefore, my bre- 
 thren, when ye come together to 
 eat, tariy one for another. And if 
 any man hunger, let him eat at 
 home ; that ye come not together 
 unto condemnation. And the reft 
 will I fet in order when I come.

 THE whole multitude of them 
 arofe, and led him unto Pilate. 
 And they began to accufe him, 
 faying. We found this fellow per- 
 verting the nation, and forbidding 
 to give tribute to Caefar, faying. 
 That he himfelf is Chrift a King. 
 And Pilate alked him, faying, Art 
 thou the King of the Jews ? And 
 he anfwered him, and faid. Thou 
 fayeft it. Then faid Pilate to the 
 chief priefts, and to the people, I 
 find no fault in this man. And 
 they were the more fierce, faying, 
 He ftureth up the people, teaching 
 throughout all Jewry, beginning 
 fi-om Galilee to this place. When 
 
 Pilate heard of Galilee, he alked 
 whether the man were a Galilean. 
 And as foon as he knew that he 
 belonged unto Herod's jurifdi6tion, 
 he fent him to Herod, wlio himfelf 
 was alfo at Jerufalem at that time. 
 And when Herod faw Jefus he 
 was exceeding glad ; for he was 
 defirous to fee him of a long feafon, 
 becaufe he had heard many things 
 of him ; and he hoped to have feen 
 fome miracle done by him. Then 
 he -queftioned with him in many 
 words ; but he anfwered him no- 
 thing. And the chief priefts and 
 fcribes ftood and vehementlv ac- 
 cufed him. And Herod with his 
 men of war fet him at nought^ and 
 mocked him, and arrayed him in ^ 
 gorgeous robe, and fent him again 
 to Pilate. And the fame day Pilate 
 and Herod were made friends to- 
 gether; for before they were at 
 enmity between themfelves. And 
 Pilate, when he had called together 
 the chief priefts, and the rulers, and 
 the people, faid unto them, Ye have 
 brought this man unto me, as one 
 that perverteth the jjeople : and 
 behold, I, having examined him 
 before you, have found no fault in 
 this man touching thofe things 
 whereof ye accufe him : No, nor 
 yet Herod : for I fent you to him ; 
 and lo, nothing wortliy of death is 
 done unto hhn. I will therefore 
 chaftife him, and releafe him. For 
 of neceflity he muft releafe one
 
 Thiirfday before E after. 
 
 unto them at the feaft. And they 
 cried out all at once, faying, Away 
 vn\\\ this man, and releafe unto us 
 Barabbas : (who for a certain fedi- 
 tion made in the city, and for mur- 
 der, was call into prifon.) Pilate 
 therefore, wUling to releai'e Jefus, 
 fpake again to them. But they 
 cried, faying, Crucify him, crucify 
 him. And he faid unto them the 
 third time, Why, what evil hath 
 he done ? I have found no caufe of 
 death in him : I will therefore chaf- 
 tife him, and let him go. And they 
 were inltant with loud voices, re- 
 quiring that he might be crucified : 
 and the voices of them and of the 
 chief priefts prevailed. And Pilate 
 gave fentence that it fliould be as 
 they required. And he releafed 
 unto them him that for fedition 
 and murder was call into prifon, 
 whom they had defired ; but he 
 delivered Jefus to their will. And 
 as they led him away, they laid 
 hold upon one Simon a Cp-enian, 
 coming out of the country, and on 
 him they laid the crofs, that he 
 might bear it after Jefus. And 
 there followed him a ijreat com- 
 pany of people, and of women, 
 which alfo bewailed and lament- 
 ed him. But Jefus, turning imto 
 them, faid. Daughters of Jerufa- 
 lem, weep not for me, but weep 
 for yoiufelves, and for your chil- 
 dren. For behold, the days are 
 coming, in the which they lliall 
 
 fay, Blefled are the barren, and 
 the wombs that never bare, and 
 the paps which never gave fuck. 
 Then ill all they begin to fay to the 
 mountains, Fall on us ; and to the 
 hills. Cover us. For if they do 
 thefe things in a green tree, what 
 fliall be done in the diy ? And there 
 were alfo two other, malefadlors, 
 led with him to be put to death. 
 And when they were come to the 
 place which is called Calvaiy, there 
 they crucified hun; and the male- 
 fadlors, one on the right hand, 
 and the other on the left. Then 
 faid Jefus, Father, forgive them, 
 for they know not what they do. 
 And they parted his-ramient, and 
 call lots. And the people Hood 
 beholding ; and the rulers alfo with 
 them derided him, faying, He fav- 
 ed others; let him fave himfelf, if 
 he be Clirift, the chofen of God. 
 And the foldiers alfo mocked him, 
 coming to him, and offering him 
 vmegar, and faying, If thou be the 
 King of the Jews, fave thyfelf. 
 And a fuperfcription alfo was wi'it- 
 ten over him in letters of Greek, 
 and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS 
 THE RING OF THE JEWS. 
 And one of the malefa6lors, which 
 were hanged, railed on him, fay- 
 ing, If thou be Chrill, fave thyfelf, 
 and us. But the other anfwering 
 rebuked him, faying, Doll not 
 thou feai" God, feeing thou ait in 
 the fame condenmation? And we
 
 indeed juftly ; for we receive the 
 due reward of our deeds, but this 
 man liatli done nothing aniifs. And 
 he faid unto Jefus, Lord, remem- 
 ber me when thou conieft into thy 
 kinsdom. And Jefus faid unto 
 him, Verily I fay unto thee, To- 
 day flialt thou be with me in pa- 
 radife. And it was about the fixth 
 hour : and there was a darknefs 
 over all the earth until the ninth 
 hour. And the fun was darkened, 
 and the vail of the temple was rent 
 in the midft. And when Jefus had 
 cried with a loud voice, he faid. 
 Father, into thy hands I commend 
 my fpirit: and having faid thus, 
 he gave up the ghoft. Now when 
 the centurion faw what was done, 
 he glorified God, faying. Certainly 
 this was a righteous man. And all 
 the peojile that came together to 
 that fight, beholding the things 
 that were done, fmote their breafl;s, 
 and returned. And all his acquaint- 
 ance, and the women that follow- 
 ed him from Galilee, ftood afar off, 
 beholding thefe things.

 THE law having a fliadow of 
 good things to come, and not 
 the very image of the things, can 
 never with thofe facrifices, which 
 they offered year by yeai* continu-
 
 Good Fridd^. 
 
 ally, make the comers thereunto 
 pei*fe6t : for then would they not 
 have ceafed to be offered? becaufe 
 that the worfhippers once purged 
 fhoukl have had no moi'e confci- 
 ence of lius. But m tlo^'e facii- 
 fices there is a remembraiice a^ahi 
 made of fins every year. For it is 
 not poflible that the blood of bulls 
 and of goats fliould take away fins. 
 Wherefore, when he cometh into 
 the world, he faith, Sacrifice and 
 offering thou wouldeft not, but a 
 body haft thou prepared me: In 
 burnt- offerings and facrifices for fin 
 thou haft had no pleafure : Then 
 faid I, Lo, I come (in the volume 
 of the book it is \vritten of me) to 
 do thy Avill, O God. Above, when 
 he faid. Sacrifice and offering, and 
 bunit-oflferings, and offering for 
 fin thou wouldeft not, neither hadft 
 pleafure therein, which are offered 
 by the Law : then faid he, Lo, I 
 come to do thy will, O God. He 
 taketh away the firft, that he may 
 eftablilh the fecond. By the which 
 will we are fancftified, through the 
 offering of the body of Jefus Chrift 
 once for all. And eveiy prieft 
 ftandeth daily miniftering, and of- 
 fering oftentimes the fame facri- 
 fices, which can never take away 
 fins. But this man, after he had 
 offered one facrifice for fins, for 
 ever fat down on the right hand 
 of God ; from henceforth expecting 
 till his enemies be made his foot- 
 
 ftool. For by one offering he hath 
 perfected for ever them that are 
 fan(5tified: Whereof the HolyGhoft 
 alfo is a ^Htnefs to us : for after 
 that he had faid before. This is the 
 covenant that I will make with 
 them after thofe days, faith the 
 Lord, I will put my laws into their 
 hearts, and in their minds will I 
 ^vi'ite them ; and their fins and ini- 
 quities will I remember no more. 
 Now where remiffion of thefe is, 
 there is no more offering for fin. 
 Having therefore, brethren, bold- 
 nefs to enter into the holieft by 
 the blood of Jefus, by a new and 
 Hving way, which he hath confe- 
 crated for us, through the vail, that 
 is to fay, his flefh ; and haiang an

 confcience, and our bodies wafhed 
 with pure water. Let us hold faft 
 the profeflion of our faith without 
 wavering ; (for he is faithful that 
 promifed ;) and let us confider one 
 another to provoke unto love, and 
 to good works ; not forfaking the

 foldiers platted a crown of thorns, 
 and put it on his head, and they 
 put on him a purple robe, and 
 laid, Hail, King of the Jews : and 
 they fniote him with their hands. 
 Pilate therefore went forth again, 
 and faith unto them. Behold, I 
 bring him forth to you, that ye 
 may know that I find no fault in 
 him. Then came Jefus forth, wear- 
 ing the crown of thorns, and the 
 purple robe. And Pilate faith un- 
 to them, Behold the man ! When 
 the cliief priefts therefore and offi- 
 cers law him, they cried out, fay- 
 ing, Crucify him, crucify him. Pi- 
 late faith unto them. Take ye him, 
 and crucify him : for I find no 
 fault in him. The Jews anfwered 
 him, We have a law, and by our 
 law he ought to die, becaufe he 
 ^inade himfelf the Son of God. 
 When Pilate therefore heard that 
 faying, he was the more afraid; 
 and went again into the judge- 
 ment-hall, and faith imto Jefus, 
 Whence art thou? But Jefus gave 
 him no anfwer. Then faith Pilate 
 unto him, Speakeft thou not unto 
 me? knoweft thou not that I have 
 power to crucify thee, and have 
 power to releafe thee? Jefus an- 
 fwered. Thou couldeft have no 
 power at all againft me, except it 
 were given thee fi-om above: there- 
 fore he that delivered me unto thee 
 hath the gi'eater fin. And from 
 :?thenceforth Pilate fought to releafe 
 
 him : but the Jews cried out, fay- 
 ing. If thou let this man go, thou 
 art not Ca^far's friend : whofoever 
 maketh himfelf a king fpeaketh 
 againil Cajfar. When Pilate there- 
 fore heard that faying, he brought 
 Jefus forth, and fat down in the 
 judgement-feat, in a place that is 
 called the Pavement, but in the 
 Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was 
 the preparation of the paffover, 
 and about the fixth hour : and he 
 faith unto the Jews, Behold your 
 King! But they cried out, Away 
 with him, away Avith him, crucify 
 hmi. Pilate faith unto them, Shall 
 I crucify your King? The chief 
 priefts anfwered, We have no king 
 but Ciefar. Then delivered he him 
 therefore unto them to be cruci- 
 fied : and they took Jefus, and led 
 him away. And he, bearing his 
 crofs, went forth into a place called 
 the place of a fcull, which is called 
 in the Hebrew, Golgotha : where 
 they crucified him, and two other 
 with him, on either fide one, and 
 Jefus in the midfi;. And Pilate 
 wrote a title, and put it on the 
 crofs ; and the writing was, JESUS 
 OF NAZARETH THE KING 
 OF THE JEWS. This title then 
 read many of the Jews : for the 
 place where Jefus was crucified 
 was nigh to the city : and it was 
 written in Hebrew, and Greek, 
 and Latin. Then faid the chief 
 priefts of tlie Jews to Pilate, Wiite 
 Pa
 
 '^ ^j?«/?er E 
 
 liot, Tlie King of the Jews ; but 
 that he faid, I am the King of the 
 Jews. Pilate anfwered, What I 
 have Avi'itten, I have written. Then 
 the foldiers, when they had cruci- 
 fied Jefus, took his garments, and 
 made four parts, to eveiy foldier 
 a part; and alfo his coat: now the 
 coat was without feam, woven from 
 tte top throughout. They faid 
 therefore among tliemfelves. Let 
 us^riot fend it, but call lots for it, 
 whofe it (hall be : that the Scrip- 
 ture might be fulfilled, which faith. 
 They parted my raiment among 
 them, and for my vefture they 
 did caft lots. Thefe things there- 
 fore the foldiers did. Now there 
 ftood by the crofs of Jefus, his mo- 
 ther, and his mother's filler, Mary 
 the wife of Cleophas, and Mary 
 Magdalene. When Jefus therefore 
 faw his mother, and the difciple 
 (landing by, whom he loved, he 
 faith unto his mother, Woman, 
 behold thy fon. Then faith he to 
 the difciple, Behold thy mother. 
 And from that hour that difciple 
 took her unto his own home. 
 After this, Jefus, knowing that all 
 things were nowaccompliflied, that 
 the Scripture might be fulfilled, 
 faith, I third. Now there was 
 fet a vell'el full of vinegar : and 
 they filled a fpunge with vin(>gar, 
 and put it upon hyil'op, and put it 
 to his mouth. When Jefus there- 
 fore had received the vinegar, he 
 
 faid, It is finilhed : and he bowed 
 his head, and gave up the ghoft. 
 The Jews therefore, becaufe it was 
 the preparation, that the bodies 
 fliould not remain upon the crofs 
 on the fabbath-day, (for that fab- 
 bath-day was an high day,) be- 
 fouo-ht Pilate that their le^s mig-ht 
 be broken, and that they might be 
 taken away. Then came the fol- 
 diers, and brake the legs of the 
 firft, and of the other which was 
 cinicified with him. But when they 
 came to Jefus, and faw that he was 
 dead already, they brake not his 
 legs. But one of the foldiers ^vith 
 a fpear pierced his fide, and forth- 
 with came thereout blood and wa- 
 ter. And he that faw it bare re- 
 cord, and his record is true : and 
 he knoweth that he faith true, that 
 ye might believe. For thefe things 
 were done that the Scripture fliould 
 be fulfilled, A bone of him Ihall not 
 be broken. And again, another 
 Scripture faith. They Ihall look on 
 hun Avhom they pierced.

 BEHOLD, two of his difciples

 called Emmaiis, which was from 
 Jeriifalem about threefcore fur- 
 longs. And they talked together of 
 all thefe things which had happen- 
 ed. And it. came to pafs, that while 
 they communed together, and rea- 
 foned, Jefus himfelf drew near, and 
 went with them. But their eyes 
 were holden, that they fliould not 
 know him. And he faid unto them, 
 AMiat manner of communications 
 are thefe that ye have one to an- 
 other, as ye walk, and are fad? And 
 the one of them, whofe name was 
 Cleopas, anfwering, faid unto him, 
 Art thou only a ftranger in Jeru- 
 falem, and haft not known the 
 things which are come to pafs there 
 in thefe days? And he faid unto 
 them. What thinos? And they faid 
 unto him, Concerning Jefus of Na- 
 zareth, who was a prophet mighty 
 in deed and word, before God and 
 all the people: and how the chief 
 priefts and our rulers delivered 
 him to be condemned to death, and 
 have crucified him. But we trufted 
 that it had I)een he which Ihoukl 
 have redeemed Ifrael : and befides 
 all this, to-day is the third day 
 fince thefe things were done. Yea, 
 and certain women alfo of our com- 
 pany made us aftoniflied, which 
 were early at the fepulchre; and 
 when they foimd not his body.

 they came, faying, that they had

 faid that he was alive. And cer- 
 tain of them which were with us 
 went to the fepulchre, and found it 
 even fo as the women had faid; but 
 him they faw not. Then he faid 
 unto them, O fools, and flow of 
 heart to believe all that the pro- 
 phets have fpoken: ought not Chrift 
 to have fuftered thefe things, and 
 to enter into his glory? And begin- 
 ning at Moles, and all the prophets, 
 he expounded unto them in all the 
 Scriptures the things concerning 
 himfelf. And they drew nigh unto 
 the village whither they went; and 
 he made as though he would have 
 gone further : but they conftrained 
 him, faying. Abide with us, for it 
 is towards evening, and the day is 
 far fpent. And he went in to tarry 
 with them. And it came to pafs, 
 as he fat at meat with them, he 
 took bread, and blefled it, and 
 brake, and gave to them. And their 
 eyes were opened, and they knew 
 him, and he vanilhed out of their

 ther, Did not our heart burn with- 
 in us, while he talked with us by 
 the way, and while he opened to

 that Jefus began both to do and 
 teach, until the day in which he 
 was taken up, after that he through 
 the Holy Ghoft had given com-

 he had chofen : to whom alfo he 
 Ihewed himfelf alive after his paf- 
 lion, by many infallible proofs ; be- 
 ing feen of them forty days, and 
 fpeaking of the things pertaining 
 to the Kingdom of God : and, be- 
 ing aflembled together with them, 
 commanded diem that diey fliould 
 
 not depart from JeiTifalem, but 
 wait for the proinlle of the Father,

 the Holy Ghoft is come upon you ; 
 and ye fliall be witnefles unto me,

 when he had fpoken thefe things,

 of their fight. And while they 
 looked ftedfaftly toward heaven,

 ftood by them in white apparel ;

 air with one accord in one place. 
 And fuddenly there came a found

 where they were fitting. And 
 there appeared unto them cloven 
 tongues, like as of fire, and it fat 
 upon each of them : and they were 
 all filled ^vith the Holy Ghoft, and 
 began to fpeak with other tongues, 
 as the Spirit gave them utterance. 
 And there were d^velling at Je-

 every nation under heaven. Now 
 when this was noifed abroad, the 
 multitude came together, and were 
 
 confounded, becaufe that eveiy 
 man heard them fpeak in his own 
 language. And they were all a- 
 mazed, and marvelled, faying one

 how hear we every man in our own

 which God fent unto the children

 God anointeil Jefus of Nazareth
 
 Tucfday m

 power ; who went about doing- 
 good, and healing all that were 
 opprefled of the devil : for God 
 was with him. And we are wit- 
 nelTes of all things which he did, 
 both in the land of the Jews, and 
 in Jerufaleni ; whom they flew, 
 and hanged on a tree : Him God 
 raifed up the third day, and ftiew- 
 ed him openly ; not to all the peo- 
 ple, but unto Avitnefles chofen be- 
 fore of God ; even to us who did 
 eat and drink with him after he 
 rofe from the dead. And he com- 
 manded us to preach unto the peo- 
 ple, and to teftify that it is he which 
 was ordained of God to be the 
 Judge of quick and dead. To him 
 give all the prophets witnefs, that 
 through his Name whofoever be- 
 lieveth in him fliall receive remif- 
 (ion of fins. While Peter yet fpake 
 thefe words, the Holy Ghoft fell 
 on all them which heard the word. 
 And they of the circumcifion, 
 which believed, were aftoniflied, 
 as many as came with Peter, be- 
 caufe that on the Gentiles alfo was 
 poured out the gift of the Holy 
 Ghoft. For they heard them fpeak 
 with tongues, and magnify God. 
 Then anfwered Peter, Can any 
 man forbid water, that thefe fliould 
 not be baptized, which have re- 
 ceived the Holy Ghoft as well as 
 we? And he commanded them to

 ^()D \o loved the world, that

 him fliould not perifli, but have 
 everlallino; life. For God fent not 
 his Son into the world to condemn 
 the world, but that the world 
 through him might be faved. He 
 that believeth on him is not con- 
 demned : but he that believeth not 
 is condemned already; becaufe he 
 hath not believed in the Name 
 of the only-begotten Son of God. 
 And this is the condemnation, that 
 light is come into the world, and 
 men loved darknefs rather than 
 light, becaufe their deeds were 
 evil. For eveiy one that doeth evil 
 hateth the light, neither cometh to 
 the light, left his deeds fliould be

 feven fpirits of God. And before 
 the throne there was a fea of glafs 
 like unto cryllal : and in the midft 
 of the throne, and round about 
 the throne, were four beafts full of 
 eyes before and behind. And the 
 firft beaft was like a lion, and the 
 fecond beaft like a calf, and the 
 third beaft had a face as a man, 
 and the fourth beaft was like a 
 flying eagle. And the four beafts 
 had each of them fix wings about 
 him ; and they were full of eyes 
 within : and they reft not day and 
 night, faying. Holy, holy, holy. 
 Lord God Almighty, which was,

 thofe beafts give gloiy, and ho-

 THERE was a certain rich 
 man, which was clothed in 
 purple, and fine linen, and fared 
 fumptuoufly eveiy day. And there 
 was a certain beggar named La- 
 zarus, which was laid at his gate 
 full of fores, and defiring to be fed 
 with the crumbs, which fell from 
 the rich man's table : moreover, 
 the dogs came and licked his fores. 
 And it came to pafs, that the beg- 
 gar died, and was carried by 
 the angels into Abraham's bofom. 
 The rich man alfo died, and was 
 buried : and in hell he lift up his 
 eyes being in torments, and feetli 
 Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in 
 his bofom. And he cried and faid. 
 Father Abraham, have mercy on 
 me, and fend Lazarus, that he 
 may dip the tip of his finger in 
 water, and cool my tongue; for I 
 am tormented in this flame. But 
 Abraham faid, Son, remember that 
 thou in thy life-time receivedft thy 
 
 good things, and like wife Lazarus 
 evil things ; but now he is com- 
 forted, and thou art tormented. 
 And belides all this, between us 
 and you there is a great gulf fix- 
 ed : fo that they who would pafs 
 from hence to you cannot ; neither 
 can they pafs to us, that would 
 come from thence. Then he faid, 
 I pray thee therefore, father, that 
 thou wouldeft fend him to my fa- 
 ther's houfe : for I have five bre- 
 thren; that he may tefi;ify unto 
 them, left they alfo come into this 
 place of torment. Abraham faith 
 unto him, They have Mofes and 
 the prophets ; let them hear them. 
 And he faid, Nay, father Abra- 
 ham; but if one went unto them 
 from the dead, they will repent. 
 And he faid unto him, If they hear 
 not Mofes and the prophets, nei-

 MARVEL not, my brethren, 
 if the world hate you. We 
 know that we have paifed from 
 death imto Hfe, becaufe we love 
 the brethren. He that loveth not 
 his brother abideth in death. Who- 
 foever hateth his brother is a mur- 
 derer : and ye know that no mur- 
 derer hath eternal life abiding in 
 hun. Hereby perceive we the love 
 of God, becaufe he laid down his 
 life for us : and we ought to lay 
 down our lives for the brethren. 
 But whofo hath this world's good, 
 and feeth his brother have need, 
 and Ihutteth up his bowels of com- 
 paffion from him; how dwelleth 
 the love of God in him? My Uttle 
 children, let us not love in word, 
 neither in tongue ; but in deed, and 
 m truth. And hereby we know 
 that we are of the truth, and Ihall 
 affure our hearts before him. For 
 if our heart condemn us, God is 
 greater than our heart, and know- 
 eth all things. Beloved, if our 
 heart condemn us not, then have 
 we confidence towards God. And 
 whatfoever we alk, we receive of 
 him, becaufe we keep his com- 
 mandments, and do thofe things 
 that are pleafing in his fight. And 
 this is his commandment. That we 
 fliould believe on the Name of his 
 Son Jefus Chrift, and love one an- 
 other, as he gave us command-

 And they beckoned unto their part-

 BRETHREN, I would not that 
 ye fliould be ignorant, how 
 that all our fathers were under the 
 cloud, and all pafled through the 
 fea; and were all baptized unto 
 Mofes in the cloud, and in the fea ; 
 and did all eat the fame fpiritual 
 meat, and did all drink the fame 
 fpiritual drink : (for they drank of 
 that fpiritual Rock that followed 
 them ; and that Rock was Chrift.) 
 But with many of them God w^as 
 not well pleafed ; for they were 
 overthrown in thewildernefs. Now 
 thefe things were our examples, 
 to the intent we fliould not lull; af- 
 ter evil thinijs, as thev alio lulled. 
 Neither be ye idolaters, as were 
 fome of them ; as it is written, The 
 people fat down to eat and drink, 
 and rofe up to play. Neither let 
 us commit fornication, as fome of 
 them committed, and fell in one 
 (lav three and twentv thouilmd. 
 Neither let us tem])t Chrift, as 
 fome of them alfo tempted, and 
 were deftroyed of ferpcnts. Nei-

 alio murmured, and were deftroy- 
 ed of the dellroyer. Now all thefe 
 things happened unto them for 
 enfam])les : and they are written 
 for our admonition, upon whom 
 the ends of the world are come. 
 Wherefore let him that thinketh 
 he ftandeth take h^ed left he fall. 
 There • hath no temptation taken 
 you, but fuch as is common to 
 man : but God is faithful, who will 
 not fuffer you to be tempted above 
 that ye are able; but will with the 
 temptation alfo make a way to 
 efcape, that ye may be able to 
 bear it.

 JESUS faid vmto his difciples. 
 There was a certain rich man 
 which had a fteward ; and the fame 
 was accufed unto him that he had 
 wafted his goods. And he called 
 him, and faid unto him, How is it 
 that I hear this of thee? Give an 
 accomit of thy ftewardfliip; for 
 thou may eft be no longer fteward. 
 Then the fteward faid within him- 
 felf, What ihall I do? for my lord 
 taketh away from me the fteward- 
 fliip : I cannot dig, to beg I am 
 aftiamed. I am refolved what to 
 do, that, when I am put out of the 
 ftewardfliip, they may receive me 
 into their houfes. So he called 
 every one of his lord's debtors unto 
 him, and faid unto the firft, How 
 much oweft thou unto my lord? 
 
 after Triiiity. 
 
 And he faid, An hundred meafures 
 of oil. And he faid unto him. Take 
 thy bill, and fit down cjuickly, and 
 write fifty. Then faid he to an- 
 other, And how much oweft thou? 
 And he faid, An hundred meafures 
 of wheat. And he faid unto him. 
 Take thy bill, and wi'ite fourfcore. 
 And the lord commended the un- 
 juft fteward, becaufe he had done 
 wifely: for the children of this world 
 are in their generation wifer than 
 the children of light. And 1 fay un- 
 to you, Make to yourfelves friends

 that when ye fail, they may receive

 And there are differences of ad-

 And there are diverfities of opera- 
 tions, but it is the fame God, who 
 worketh all in all. But the mani- 
 feftation of the Spirit is given to 
 eveiy man to profit withal. For to 
 one is given by the Spirit the word 
 of wifdom ; to another the word of 
 knowledge by the fame Spirit; to 
 another faith by the fame Spirit ; 
 to another the gifts of healing by 
 the fame Spirit; to another the 
 working of mii'acles; to another 
 prophecy; to another difcerning 
 of fpu-its ; to another divers kinds 
 of tongues ; to another the inter- 
 pretation of tongues. But all thefe 
 worketh that one and the felfsame

 rally as he will.

 JESUS fpake this parable unto

 and defpifed others : Two men 
 went up into the temple to pray ; 
 the one a Pharifee, and the other 
 a Publican. The Pharifee ftood 
 and prayed thus with himfelf, God, 
 I thank thee, that I am not as o- 
 ther men are, extortioners, unjuft,

 lican : I faft twice in the week, I

 TO Abraham and his feed were 
 the promifes made. He faith 
 not, And to feeds, as of many; but 
 as of one ; And to thy feed, which 
 is Chrift. And this I fay, That the 
 covenant that was confinned be- 
 fore of God in Chrift, the Law, 
 which was four hundred and thirty 
 years after, cannot difannul, that 
 it Ihould make the promife of none 
 effedl. For if the inheritance be of 
 the Law, it is no more of promife; 
 but God gave it to Abraham by 
 promife. Wherefore then ferveth 
 the Law? It was added becaufe of 
 tranfgreflions, till the feed fliould 
 come, to whom the promife was 
 made ; and it was ordained by 
 angels in the hand of a mediator. 
 Now a mediator is not a mediator 
 of one ; • but God is one. Is the 
 Law then againft the promifes of 
 God? God forbid : for if there 
 had been a law given which could 
 have given life, verily righteoufnefs 
 ftiould have been by the Law. But 
 the Scripture hath concluded all 
 under fin, that the promife by faith 
 of Jefus Chrift might be given to

 THIS I fay therefore, and tefti-

 walk, in the vanity of their mind ; 
 having the underilanding darken- 
 ed, being alienated from the life of 
 God through the ignorance that is 
 in them, becaufe of the blindnefs 
 of their heart : who, being pall 
 feeling, have given themfelves over 
 unto lafcivioufnefs, to work all un- 
 cleannefs with greedinefs. But ye 
 have not fo learned Chrift ; if fo be 
 that ye have heard him, and have 
 l>een taught by him, as the truth 
 is in Jefus : that ye put oft", con- 
 cerning the former converfation. 
 
 the old man, which is corrupt ac- 
 cording to the deceitful lufts ; and 
 be renewed in the fpirit of your 
 mind ; and that ye put on the new 
 man, which after God is created 
 in righteoufnefs and true holinefs. 
 Wherefore, putting away lying, 
 fpeak every man truth with his 
 neighbour : for we are members 
 one of another. Be ye angry and 
 fin not : let not the fun go do^vn 
 upon your wrath : neither give 
 place to the devil. Let hun that 
 ftole fteal no more ; but rather let 
 him labour, working with his hands 
 the thing which is good, that he 
 may have to give to him that need- 
 eth. Let no corrupt communica- 
 tion proceed out of your mouth, 
 but that which is good to the ufe 
 of edifying, that it may minifter 
 grace unto the hearers. And grieve 
 not the Holy Spirit of God, where- 
 by ye are fealed unto the day of re- 
 demption. Let all bitternefs, and 
 ^vi'ath, and anger, and clamour, 
 and evil-fpeaking, be put away 
 from you, with all malice. And be 
 ye kind one to another, tender- 
 hearted, forgiving one another, 
 even as God for Chrift's fake hath 
 forgiven you.

 his fon ; and fent forth his fervants 
 to call them that were bidden to 
 the wedding ; and they would not 
 come. Again, he fent forth other 
 fervants, faying. Tell them which 
 are bidden. Behold, I have pre- 
 pared my dinner ; my oxen and my 
 fatlings are killed, and all things 
 are ready; come unto the maniage. 
 But they made light of it, and went 
 their ways, one to his farm, an- 
 other to his merchandife : and the 
 remnant took his fervants, and en- 
 treated them fpitefully, and flew 
 them. But when the king heard 
 thereof, he was wi-otli ; and he fent 
 forth his armies, and deftroyed 
 thofe murderers, and burnt up 
 their city. Then faith he to his 
 fei-vants. The wedding is ready, 
 but they who were bidden were 
 not worthy. Go ye therefore into

 when the king came in to fee the

 had not on a wedding-garment. 
 And he faith unto him, Friend, 
 how cameft thou in hither, not hav- 
 ing a wedding-garment? And he 
 was fpeechlefs. Then faid the king 
 to the fenants. Bind him hand

 And, as he was now going down,

 quired he of them the hour when 
 he began to amend: and they faid

 hour the fever left him. So the

 hour, in the which Jefus faid unto

 ND Saul, yet breathing out 
 
 threatenings and llaughter 
 againft the difciples of the Lord, 
 went unto the high prieft, and de- 
 fired of him letters to Damafcus to 
 the fynagogues, that, if he found 
 any of this way, whether they were 
 men or women, he might bring 
 them bound unto Jerufalem. And, 
 as he journeyed, he came near 
 Damafcus, and fuddenly there fliin- 
 ed round about him a light from 
 heaven. And he fell to the earth, 
 and heard a voice faying unto him, 
 Saul, Saul, why perfecuteft thou 
 me? And he faid, Who art thou, 
 Lord? And the Lord faid, I am 
 Jefus whom thou perfecuteft: it 
 is hard for thee to kick againft the 
 pricks. And he, trembling and 
 aftoniflied, faid, Lord, what wilt 
 thou have me to do? And the Lord 
 faid unto him, Arife, and go into 
 the city, and it fliall be told thee 
 what thou muft do. And the men 
 which journeyed with him ftood 
 fpeechlefs, hearing a voice, but 
 feeing no man. And Saul arofe 
 from the earth, and when his eyes 
 were opened he faw no man; but 
 they led him by the hand, and 
 brought him into Damafcus. And 
 he was three days without fight,

 and neither did eat nor drink. And 
 there was a certain difciple at Da- 
 mafcus, named Ananias, and to 
 hini faid the Lord in a vifion, Ana- 
 nias. And he faid, Behold, I am 
 liere, Lord. And the Lord faid 
 unto him, Arife, and go into the 
 ftreet which is called Straight, and 
 enquire in the houfe of Judas for 
 one called Saul, of Tarfus : for be- 
 hold, he prayeth, and hath feen in 
 a vifion a man named Ananias, 
 coming in, and putting his hand 
 on him, that he might receive his 
 fight. Then Ananias anfvvered. 
 Lord, I have heard by many of 
 this man, how much evil he hath 
 done to thy faints at Jerufalem ; 
 and here he hath authority from 
 the chief priefts to bind all that 
 call on thy Name. But the Lord 
 faid unto hun. Go thy way; for he 
 is a chofen veflel unto me, to bear 
 my Name before the Gentiles, and 
 kings, and the children of Ifrael : 
 for I will fliew him how great 
 things he muft fuffer for my Name's 
 fake. And Ananias went his way, 
 and entered into the houfe ; and, 
 putting his hands on him, faid, 
 Brother Saul, the Lord, (even Je- 
 fus that appeared unto thee in the 
 way as thou camell,) hath fent me, 
 that thou mightell receive thy fight, 
 and be filled with the holy Ghoft. 
 And immediately there fell from 
 his eyes as it had been fcales ; 
 and he received fight forthwith, 
 
 and arofe, and was baptized. And 
 when he had received meat, he was 
 fl:rengthened. Then was Saul cer- 
 tain days with the difci})les which 
 were at Damafcus. And ftraight- 
 way he preached Chrifl: in the fyna- 
 gogues, that he is the Son of God. 
 But all that heard him were amaz- 
 ed, and faid, Is not this he that 
 deftroyed them which called on 
 this N ame in Jerufalem, and came 
 hither for that intent, that he might 
 bring them bound unto the chief 
 priefts? But Saul increafed the 
 more in ftrength, and confounded 
 the .Tews which dwelt at Damafcus, 
 proving that this is very Chrift.

 For let not that man think that he

 A double-minded man is unliable

 unto the ears of the Church 
 which was in Jerufalem ; and they 
 fent forth Barnabas, that he ftiould 
 go as far as Antioch. Who, when 
 he came, and had feen the grace 
 of God, was glad ; and exhorted 
 them all, that with purpofe of heart 
 they would cleave unto the Lord. 
 For he was a good man, and full of 
 the holy Ghoft, and of faith : and 
 much people was added unto the

 to Tarfus, for to feek Saul. And 
 when he had found him, he brought

 one of them named Agabus, and 
 fignified by the Spirit, that there 
 ftiould be great dearth throughout 
 all the world ; which came to pafs 
 in the days of Claudius Caifar. 
 Then the difciples, every man ac- 
 cording to his ability, determined 
 to fend relief unto the brethren 
 which dwelt in Judaea. Which 
 alfo they did, and fent it to the

 member the word that I laid unto 
 
 you. The fei-vant is not greater 
 than the lord : if they have perfe- 
 cuted me, they will alfo pedecute 
 you ; if they have kept my faying, 
 they will keep your's alfo. But 
 all thefe things will they do unto 
 you for my Name's fake, becaufe 
 thev know not him that fent me. 
 If I had not come and fpoken un- 
 to them, they had not had fin : 
 but now they have no cloke for 
 their fin. He that hateth me hat- 
 eth my Father alfo. If I had not 
 done among them the works which 
 none other man did, they had not 
 had fin ; but now have they both 
 feen, and hated, both me and my 
 Father. But this cometh to pafs, 
 that the word might be fulfilled 
 that is written in their law, They 
 hated me without a caufe. But 
 when the Comforter is come, Avhom 
 I will fend unto you from the Fa- 
 ther, even the Spirit of truth, which 
 proceedeth from the Father, he 
 fhall teftify of me. And ye alfo 
 (hall bear witnefs, becaufe ye have 
 been with me from the beginning.

 Hurt not the earth, neither the

 I Believe in one God the Father 
 Almighty, Maker of lieaven 
 and earth, And of all things vifible 
 and invifible : 
 
 And in one Lord Jefus Chrift, 
 the only-begotten Son of God, 
 Begotten of his Father before all 
 worlds, God of God, Light of Light, 
 Very God of very God, Begotten, 
 not made, Being of one fubftance 
 with the Father, By whom all 
 things were made : Who for us 
 men, and for our falvation came 
 down from heaven. And was in- 
 carnate by the Holy Ghoft of the 
 A^irgin Mary, And was made man. 
 And was crucified alfo for us un- 
 der Pontius Pilate. He fuffered 
 and was buried, And the third 
 day he rofe again according to 
 the Scriptures, And afcended into 
 heaven. And fitteth on the right 
 hand of the Father. And he lliall 
 come again with glory to judge 
 both the quick and the dead : 
 Whofe kingdom fliall have no end. 
 
 And 1 believe in the Holy Ghoft, 
 
 The Lord and Giver of life, Wlio 
 proceedeth from the Father and 
 the Son, Who with the Father and 
 the Son together is worfliipped and 
 glorified. Who fpake by the Pro- 
 phets. And I believe one Catho- 
 lick and Apoftolick Church. I ac- 
 knowledge one Baptifm for the 
 remiflion of fins, And I look for 
 the llefurredlion of the dead, And 
 the life of the world to come.

 these Sentences following, as he thinketh most con- 
 venient in his discretion. 
 
 LET your light fo fliine before

 Lay not up for yourfelves trea- 
 fure upon the earth ; where the ruft 
 and moth doth corrupt, and where 
 thieves break through and Ileal : 
 but lay up for yourfelves treafures

 Wliatfoever ye would that men

 and the Prophets. St. Matt. vii. 
 
 Not every one that faith unto 
 me, Lord, Lord, fliall enter into 
 the Kingdom of heaven ; but he 
 that doeth the will of my Father 
 which is in heaven. St. 3Iatt. vii. 
 
 Zacchaeus flood forth, and faid 
 unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the 
 half of my goods I give to the 
 poof; and if I have done any ^vi'ong 
 to any man, I reftore fourfold. St. 
 Luke xix. 
 
 Who goeth a warfare at any time 
 of his own coft? Who planteth a 
 vineyard, and eateth not of the 
 fruit thereof? Or who feedeth a 
 flock, and eateth not of the milk 
 of the flock? 1 Cor. ix. 
 
 If we have fown unto you fpiri- 
 tual things, is it a great matter if 
 we fliall reap your worldly things? 
 1 Cor. ix. 
 
 Do ye not know, that they who 
 minifl;er about holy things live of 
 the facrifice ; and they who wait 
 at the altar are partakers with the 
 altar? Even fo hath the Lord alfo 
 ordained, that they who })reach the 
 Gofpel fliould live of the Gofpel. 
 1 Cor. ix. 
 
 He that foweth little fliall reap 
 little ; and he that foweth plente- 
 oufly fliall reap plenteoufly. Let 
 every man do according as he is 
 difpofed in his heart, not grudg- 
 
 ingly, or of neceflity ; for God lov- 
 eth a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. ix. 
 
 Let him that is taught in the 
 Word minifler unto him that teach- 
 eth, in all good things. Be not 
 deceived, God is not mocked : for 
 wliatfoever a man foweth that fliall 
 he reap. Gal. vi. 
 
 While we have time, let us do 
 good unto all men ; and fpecially 
 vmto them that are of the houfliold 
 of faith. Gal. vi. 
 
 Godlinefs is great riches, if a 
 man be content with that he hath : 
 for we brought nothing into the 
 world, neither may we carry any 
 thing out. 1 Tim. vi. 
 
 Charge them who are rich in 
 this world, that they be ready to 
 give, and glad to difi;ribute ; laying 
 up in fi;ore for themfelves a good 
 foundation againfl; the time to

 life. 1 Tim. vi. 
 
 God is not unrighteous, that he 
 will forget your works, and labour 
 that proceedeth of love; which love 
 ye have fliewed for his Name's 
 lake, who have miniftered unto the

 To do good, and to diftribute, 
 forget not ; for with fuch facrifices

 DEARLY beloved, on — day 
 next I purpofe, through God's 
 afliftance, to adminifter to all fuch 
 as Ihall be religioufly and devo'itly 
 difpofed the moll comfortable Sa- 
 crament of the Body and Blood 
 of Chrift; to be by them received 
 in remembrance of his meritorious 
 Crofs and Paflion ; whereby alone 
 we obtain remiffion of our fins, 
 and are made partakers of the 
 Kingdom of heaven. Wherefore 
 it is our duty to render moft hum- 
 ble and hearty thanks to Almighty 
 God our heavenly Father, for that 
 he hath given his Son our Saviour 
 Jefus Chrift, not only to die for 
 
 us, but alfo to be our fpiritual food 
 and fuftenance in that holy Sacra- 
 ment. Which being fo divine and 
 comfortable a thing to them who 
 receive it worthily, and fo danger- 
 ous to them that will prefume to 
 receive it unworthily; my duty is 
 to exhort you in the mean feafon 
 to confider the dignity of that holy 
 myftery, and the great peril of the 
 unworthy receiving thereof; and 
 fo to fearch and examine your own 
 confciences, (and that not lightly, 
 and after the manner of diifem- 
 blers with God ; but fo) that ye 
 may come holy and clean to fuch 
 a heavenly Feaft, in the maniage- 
 garment required by God in holy 
 Scripture, and be received as wor- 
 thy partakers of that holy Table. 
 
 The way and means thereto is ; 
 Firft, to examine your lives and 
 converfations by the rule of God's 
 commandments ; and whereinfo- 
 ever ye Ihall perceive yourfelves 
 to have oft'ended, either by will, 
 word, or deed, there to bewail 
 your own finfulnefs, and to confefs 
 yourfelves to Almighty God, with 
 full purpofe of amendment of life. 
 And if ye Ihall perceive your of- 
 fences to be fuch as are not only 
 againft God, but alfo againft your 
 neighbours ; then ye ihall reconcile 
 yourfelves unto them ; being ready 
 to make reftitution and fatisfadtion, 
 according to the uttermolt of your 
 powers, for all injuries and wrongs

 done by you to any other ; and 
 being likewife ready to forgive 
 others that have offended you, as 
 ye would have forgivenel's of your 
 offences at God's hand : for other- 
 wife the receiving of the holy Com- 
 munion doth nothing elfe but in- 
 creafe your damnation. Therefore 
 if any of you be a blafphemer of 
 God, an hinderer or llanderer of 
 his Word, an adulterer, or be in 
 malice, or envy, or in any other 
 grievous crime, repent you of your 
 fins, or elfe come not to that holy 
 Table ; left, after the taking of that 
 holy Sacrament, the devil enter in- 
 to you, as he entered into Judas, 
 and fill you full of all iniquities, 
 and bnng you to deftrudlion both 
 of body and foul. 
 
 And becaufe it is requifite, that 
 no man fliould come to the holy 
 Communion, but with a full truft 
 in God's mercy, and with a quiet 
 confcience ; therefore if there be 
 any of you, who by this means 
 cannot quiet his own confcience

 EARLY beloved brethren, 
 
 on I intend, by God's 
 
 grace, to celebrate the Lord's Sup- 
 per : unto which, in God's behalf, 
 I bid you all that are here prefent ; 
 and befeech you, for the Lord Je- 
 fus Chrift's fake, that ye will not 
 refufe to come thereto, being fo 
 lovingly called and bidden by God 
 himfelf. Ye know how grievous 
 and unkind a thing it is, when a 
 man hath prepared a rich feaft, 
 decked his table with all kind of 
 provifion, fo that there lacketh no- 
 thing but the guefts to fit do^vn ; 
 and yet they who are called (with- 
 out any caufe) moft imthankftilly 
 refufe to come. Which of you in 
 fuch a cafe would not be moved? 
 Who would not think a great in- 
 juiy and wrong done unto him? 
 Wherefore, moft dearly beloved 
 in Chrift, take ye good heed, left 
 ye, ^vithdrawing yourfelves from 
 this holy Supper, provoke God's 
 indignation againft you. It is an 
 eafy matter for a man to fay, I will 
 not communicate, becaufe I am 
 otherwife hindered \vith worldly 
 bufinefs. But fuch excufes are 
 not fo eafily accepted and allowed 
 before God. If any man fay, I 
 am a grievous finner, and therefore 
 am afraid to come : wherefore then 
 do ye not repent and amend? When 
 God calleth you, are yc not afliam-
 
 The Com77iunio7t. 
 
 ed to fay ye will not come? When 
 ye (liould return to God, will ye 
 excufe yourfelves, iind fay ye are 
 not ready? Confider earneftly with 
 yourfelves how little fuch feign- 
 ed excufes will avail before God. 
 They that refufed the feaft in the 
 Gofpel, becaufe they had bought 
 a farm, or would try their yokes of 
 oxen, or becaufe they were marri- 
 ed, were not fo excufed, but count- 
 ed unworthy of the heavenly feall. 
 I, for my part, fliall be ready ; and, 
 according to mine Office, I bid 
 you in the Name of God, I call 
 you in Chrift's behalf, I exhort you, 
 as ye love your own falvation, that 
 ye will be partakers of this holy 
 Communion. And as the Son of 
 God did vouchfafe to yield up his 
 foul by death upon the Crofs for 
 your falvation ; fo it is your duty 
 to receive the Communion in re- 
 membrance of the facrifice of his 
 death, as he himfelf hath com- 
 manded : whiph if ye fliall negledl 
 to do, confider with yourfelves how 
 great injuiy ye do unto God, and 
 how fore punifhment hangeth over 
 your heads for the fame; when ye 
 wilfully abftain from the Lord's 
 Table, and feparate from your bre- 
 thren, who come to feed on the 
 banquet of that moll heavenly food. 
 Thefe things if ye earneftly confi- 
 der, ye will by God's grace return 
 to a better mind : for the obtaining 
 whereof we fliall not ceafe to make 
 
 our humble petitions unto Almigh- 
 ty God our heavenly Father. 
 
 ^I At the time of the celebration of the Communion, 
 the Communicants being coutenienllj/ placed for the 
 receiving of the holy Sacrament, the Priest shall 
 sai/ this Exhortation. 
 
 DEARLY beloved in the Lord, 
 ye that mind to come to the 
 holy Communion of the Body and 
 Blood of our Saviour Chrift, muft 
 confider how Saint Paul exhorteth 
 all perfons diligently to try and 
 examine themfelves, before they 
 prefume to eat of that Bread, and 
 drink of that Cup. For as the 
 benefit is great, if with a true pe- 
 nitent heart and lively faith we 
 receive that holy Sacrament ; (for 
 then we fpiritually eat the flelh of 
 Chrift, and drink his blood ; then 
 we dwell in Chrift, and Chrift in 
 us ; we are one with Chrift, and 
 Chrift with us ;) fo is the danger 
 great, if we receive the fame un- 
 worthily. For then we are guilty 
 of the Body and Blood of Chrift 
 our Saviour ; we eat and drink our 
 own damnation, not confidering 
 the Lord's Body ; we kindle God's 
 wrath againft us; we provoke him 
 to plague us with divers difeafes, 
 and fundiy kinds of death. Judge 
 therefore yourfelves, brethren, that 
 ye be not judged of the Lord; re- 
 pent you truly for your fins paft ; 
 have a lively and fledfaft faith in 
 Chrift our Saviour; amend your 
 lives, and be in perfedl charity with 
 aU men ; fo Ihall ye be meet par-
 
 The Communion. 
 
 takers of tliofe holy myfteiies. And 
 above all things ye muft give moll 
 humble and hearty thanks to God, 
 the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
 Ghoft, for the redemption of the 
 world by the death and paffion of 
 our Saviour Chrift, both God and 
 man; who did humble himfelf, even 
 to the death upon the Crofs, for 
 lis, miferable finners, who lay in 
 darknefs and the fliadow of death ; 
 that he might make us the chil- 
 dren of God, and exalt us to ever- 
 lafting life. And to the end that 
 we fliould alway remember the ex- 
 ceeding great love of our M after, 
 and only Saviour, Jefus Chrift, thus 
 dying for us, and the innumerable 
 benefits which by his precious 
 blood- fliedding he hath obtained 
 to us ; he hath inftituted and or- 
 dained holy myfteries, as pledges 
 of his love, and for a continual 
 remembrance of his death, to our 
 great and endlefs comfort. To him 
 therefore, with the Father and the 
 Holy Ghoft, let us give (as we are 
 moft bounden) continual thanks ; 
 fubmitting ourfelves wholly to his 
 holy will and pleafure, and Undy- 
 ing to ferve him in true holinefs 
 and rightcoufnefs all the days of 
 our life. Amen. 
 
 5[ Then shall the Priest say to them that come to re- 
 ceive the holif Communion, 
 
 YE that do truly and earneftly 
 repent you of your fins, and 
 are in love and charity with your 
 
 neighbours, and intend to lead a 
 new life, following the command- 
 ments of God, and walking from 
 henceforth in his holy ways ; Draw 
 near with faith, and take this holy 
 Sacrament to your comfort ; and 
 make your humble confeflion to 
 Almighty God, meekly kneeling 
 upon your knees. 
 
 ^ Then shall this general Confession be made, in the 
 name of all those that are minded to receive the holy 
 Communion, by one of the Ministers ; both he and 
 all the people kneeling humbly upon their knees, 
 and saying, 
 
 ALMIGHTY God, Father of 
 our Lord Jefus Chrift, Maker 
 of all things, Judge of all men ; We 
 acknowledge and bewail our ma- 
 nifold fins and wickednefs, Which 
 we, from time to time, moft griev- 
 oufly have committed. By thought, 
 word, and deed, Againft thy Di- 
 vine Majefty, Provoking moft juft- 
 ly thy wrath and indignation a- 
 gainft us. We do earneftly repent. 
 And are heartily forry for thefe 
 our mifdoings ; The remembrance 
 of them is orievous unto us : The 
 burden of them is intolerable. Have 
 mercy upon us. Have mercy upon 
 us, moft merciful Father ; For thy 
 Son our Lord Jefus Chrift's fake, 
 Forgive us all that is paft ; And 
 m-ant that we may ever hereafter 
 Serve and pleafe thee In newnefs 
 of life, To tlie honour and glory 
 of thy Name; through Jefus Chrift 
 our Lord. Amen.
 
 The Communion. 
 
 *[[ Then shall the Priest (or the Bishop, being present,) 
 stand up, and turning himself to the people, pro- 
 nounce this Absolution. 
 
 ALMIGHTY God, our heaven- 
 ly Father, who of his great 
 mercy hath promifed forgivenefs 
 of fins to all them that with hearty 
 repentance and true faith turn un- 
 to him ; Have mercy upon you ; 
 pardon and deliver you from all 
 your fins ; confirm and ftrengthen 
 you in all goodnefs ; and biing you 
 to everlafl;ing life ; through Jefus 
 Chrift our Lord. Amen. 
 
 If Then shall the Priest say. 
 
 Hear what comfortable words our 
 Saviour Chrift faith unto all that 
 truly turn to him. 
 
 COME unto me all that travail 
 and are heavy laden, and I 
 will refrefti you. St. Matt. xi. 28. 
 So God loved the world, that he 
 gave his only-begotten Son, to the 
 end that all that believe in him 
 Ihould not perifli, but have ever- 
 lafting life. St. John iii. 16. 
 
 Hear alfo what Saint Paul faith. 
 
 This is a true faying, and worthy 
 of all men to be received. That 
 Chrift Jefus came into the world 
 to fave finners. 1 Thn. i. 15. 
 
 Hear alfo what Saint John faith. 
 If any man fin, we have an Ad- 
 vocate with the Father, Jefus Chrift 
 the righteous ; and he is the pro- 
 pitiation for our fins. 1 St. John

 Duties, accustomably due, then and at that time to be paid.

 ""VM/^HEREAS it is ordained in this Office for the Administration of the Lord's Supper, that the Com- 
 " municants should receive the same kneeling; (which order is well meant, for a signification of our 
 
 " humble and grateful acknowledgement of the benefits of Christ therein given to all worthy Receivers, 
 " and for the avoiding of such profanation and disorder in the holy Communion, as might otherwise ensue;) 
 " yet, lest the same kneeling should by any persons, either out of ignorance and infirmity, or out of malice 
 " and obstinacy, be misconstrued and depraved; It is hereby declared. That thereby no adoration is intend- 
 " ed, or ought to be done, either unto the Sacramental Bread or Wine there bodily received, or unto any 
 " Corporal Presence of Christ's natural Flesh and Blood. For the Sacramental Bread and Wine remain 
 " still in their very natural substances, and therefore may not be adored ; (for that were idolatry, to be 
 " abhorred of all faithful Christians ;) and the natural Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ are in Hea- 
 " ven, and not here ; it being against the truth of Christ's natural Body to be at one time in more places 
 " than one."
 
 THE MINISTRATION OF 
 
 PUBLICK BAPTISM OF INFANTS, 
 
 TO BE USED IN THE CHURCH. 
 
 ^ The people are to he admotiished, that it h most convenient that Baptism should not be adminis- 
 tered but upon Suiulays, and other Holy-days, z-ihen the most number of people come together; 
 as well for that the Cmgregation there present may testify the I'eceiving of them that be newly 
 baptized into the number of Christ's Church; as also because in the Baptism of Infants every 
 j\Iaii present may be put in remembrance of his moi profession made to God in his Baptism. 
 For Xiihich cause also it is expedient that Baptism be ministered in the vulgar tongue. Never- 
 theless, {f necessity so require,) Children may be baptized upon any other day. 
 
 % And note, that there shall be for every Male-child to be baptized tivo Ciodfathers and one God- 
 viother; and for every Female, otw Godfather and two Godnwthers. 
 
 If When there are Children to be baptized, the Parents shall give knorvledge thereof over night, or 
 in the morning before the beginning of Morning Prayer, to the Curate. And then the God- 
 fathers and Godmothers, and the people with the Children, must be ready at the Font, either 
 immediately after the last Lesson at Morning Prayer, or else hnmediately after the last Lesson 
 at Evening Prayer, as the Curate by his discretion shall appoint. And the Priest coming to 
 the Font, {which is then to be filed with pure JVater,) and standing there, shall say. 
 
 HATH this Child been ah-eady 
 baptized, or no? 
 
 ^ If they atiswer, No : Then shall the Priest proceed 
 asfollowetk. 
 
 DEARLY beloved, forafmuch 
 as all men are conceived and 
 born in (in ; and that our Saviour 
 Chrift faith, None can enter into 
 the kingdom of God, except he be 
 regenerate and born anew of Wa- 
 ter and of the holy Ghoil ; I be- 
 feech you to call upon God the 
 Father, through our Lord Jefus 
 Chrift, that of his bounteous mer- 
 cy he will grant to t/iis Child that 
 thing which by nature he cannot 
 have ; that he may be baptized 
 with Water and the holy (ihoft, 
 and received into C'hrift's holy 
 Church, and be made a lively/ mem^ 
 her of the fame. 
 
 % Then shall the Priest say, 
 
 Let us pray. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and everlafting 
 God, who of thy great mercy 
 didft fave Noah and his family in 
 the ark from perifliing by water ; 
 and alfo didft fafely lead the chil- 
 dren of Ifrael thy people through 
 the Red Sea, figuring thereby thy 
 holy Baptifm ; and by the Baptifm 
 of thy well-beloved Son Jefus 
 Chrift, in the river Jordan, didft 
 lan6lify Water to the myftical wafli- 
 ing away of fin ; We befeech thee, 
 for thine infinite mercies, that thou 
 wilt mercifully look upon this Child; 
 wafli him and fan^tify him with the 
 holyCihoft; that//^, being delivered 
 from thy wrath, may be received 
 into the ark of C'hrift's Church ; 
 and being ftedfail in faith, joyful
 
 Piiblick Baptifm of Infants. 
 
 through hope, and rooted in cha- 
 rity, may fo pafs the waves of this 
 troublefome world, that finally he 
 may come to the land of everlaft- 
 ing life, there to reign with thee 
 world without end; through Jefus 
 Chrift our Lord. Amen. 
 
 ALMIGHTY and immortal 
 God, the aid of all that need, 
 the helper of all that flee to thee 
 for fuccour, the life of them that 
 believe, and the refurre6tion of the 
 dead ; We call upon thee for this 
 Infant, that he, coming to thy ho- 
 ly Baptifm, may receive remifllon 
 oihis fins by fpiritual regeneration. 
 Receive him, O Lord, as thou hafi; 
 promifed by thy well-beloved Son, 
 laying^ Aik, and ye fliall have; 
 feek, and ye Ihall find; knock, and 
 it ftiall be opened unto you : So 
 give now unto us that alk ; let us 
 that feek find; open the gate unto 
 us that knock ; that this Infant 
 may enjoy the everlafl;ing bene- 
 didlion of thy heavenly wafliing, 
 and may come to the eternal king- 
 dom which thou haft promifed by 
 Chrift our Lord. Amen. 
 
 ^ Then shall the people stand up, and the Priest 
 shall say, 
 
 Hear the words of the Gofpel, 
 written by Saint Mark, in the 
 tenth Chapter, at the thirteenth 
 Verfe. 
 
 THEY brought young children 
 to Chrift, that he lliould touch 
 them ; and his difciples rebuked 
 
 thofe that brought them. But when 
 Jefus faw it, he was much dif- 
 pleafed, and faid unto tliem, Sufl*er 
 the little children to come unto 
 me, and forbid them not ; for of 
 fuch is tlie kingdom of God. Verily 
 I fay unto you, Whofoever fliall 
 not receive the kingdom of God 
 as a little child, he fliall not enter 
 therein. And he took them up in 
 his arms, put his hands upon them, 
 and bleffed them. 
 
 If After the Gospel is read, the Minister shall make 
 this brief Exhortation upon the words of the Gospel. 
 
 BELOVED, ye hear in this 
 Gofpel the words of our Savi- 
 our Chrift, that he commanded the 
 children to be brought unto him ; 
 how he blamed thofe that would 
 have kept them from him ; how he 
 exhorteth all men to follow their 
 innocency. Ye perceive how by 
 his outward gefture and deed he 
 declared his goodwill toward them; 
 for he embraced them in his arms, 
 he laid his hands upon them, and 
 blefled them. Doubt ye not there- 
 fore, but earneftly believe, that he 
 will likewife favourably receive this 
 prefent hfant; that he will em- 
 brace him with the arms of his 
 mercy ; that he will give unto him 
 the blefling of eternal life, and 
 make him partaker of his everlaft- 
 ina: kingdom. Wherefore we be- 
 ing thus perfuaded of the goodmll 
 of our heavenly Father towards 
 this Infant, declared by his Son
 
 Puhlich Baptifm of Infants. 
 
 Jefus Chrift ; and nothing doubt- 
 ing but that he favourably allow- 
 eth this charitable work of our's 
 in bringing this Infant to his holy 
 Baptifm ; let us faithfiilly and de- 
 voutly give thanks unto hun, and 
 
 ALMIGHTY and everlafting 
 God, heavenly Father, we give 
 thee humble thanks, for that thou 
 haft vouchfafed to call us to the 
 knowledge of thy grace, and faith 
 in thee : Increafe this knowledge, 
 and confirm this faith in us ever- 
 more. Give thy holy Spirit to this 
 Infant, that he may be born again, 
 and be made an heir of everlaftinff 
 falvation; through our Lord Je- 
 fus Chrift, who liveth and reigneth 
 with thee and the Holy Spirit, now 
 and for ever. Amen. 
 
 % Then shalt the Priest speak unto the Godfathers 
 and Godmothers on this wise. 
 
 DEARLY beloved, ye have 
 brought this Child here to 
 be baptized, ye have prayed that 
 our Lord Jefus Chrift would vouch- 
 fafe to receive hi)n, to releafe hi?n 
 of his fins, to fandtify him with 
 the holy Ghoft, to give him the 
 kingdom of heaven, and everlaft- 
 ing life. Ye have heard alfo that 
 our Lord Jefus Chrift hath pro- 
 mifed in his Gofpel to grant all 
 thefe things that ye have ])rayed 
 for: which promife he, for his part, 
 will moft furely keep and perform. 
 Wherefore, after this promife made 
 
 by Chrift, this Infant muft alfo 
 faithfully, for his part, promife by 
 you that are his fureties, (until he 
 come of age to take it upon him- 
 felf) that he will renounce the de- 
 vil and all his works, and conftant- 
 ly believe God's holy Word, and 
 obediently keep his command- 
 ments. 
 
 I demand therefore, 
 
 DOST thou, in the name of this 
 Child, renounce the devil and 
 all his Avorks, the vain pomp and 
 gloiy of the world, with all covet- 
 ous defires of the fame, and the 
 carnal defires of the flefli, fo that 
 thou wilt not follow, nor be led by 
 them? 
 
 Anfwer. I renounce them all. 
 Minifter. 
 
 DOST thou believe in God the 
 Father Almighty, Maker of 
 heaven and earth? 
 
 And in Jefus Chrift his only-be- 
 gotten Son our Lord? And that he 
 was conceived by the Holy Ghoft ; 
 born of the A^irgin Mary ; that he 
 fuftered under Pontius Pilate, was 
 crucified, dead, and buried ; that 
 he went down into hell, and alfo 
 did rife again the third day; that 
 he afcended into heaven, and fit- 
 teth at the right hand of God the 
 Father Almighty; and from thence 
 fliall come ajjain at the end of the 
 world, to judge the quick and the 
 dead? 
 
 And (loft thou believe in the
 
 Piiblich Baptifm of Infants. 
 
 Holy Glioft ; the holy Catholick 
 Church; the Communion of Saints; 
 the RemifTion of fins ; the Refur- 
 redtion of the flefli ; and everlaft- 
 ing hfe after death? 
 
 Anfwer. All this I ftedfaftly be- 
 lieve. 
 
 iijter. 
 
 WI LT thou be baptized in this 
 faith? 
 Anfiver. That is my defire. 
 Minijier. 
 
 WILT thou then obediently 
 keep God's holy will and 
 commandments, and walk in the 
 fame all the days of thy life? 
 Anfwer. I will. 
 
 % Then shall the Priest say, 
 
 O Merciful God, grant that the 
 old Adam in this Child may 
 be fo buried, that the new man 
 may be raifed up in hi??i. Amen. 
 
 Grant that all carnal affections 
 may die in him, and that all things 
 belonging to the Spirit may live 
 and grow in him. Ame?i. 
 
 Grant that he may have power 
 and ftrength to have vidloiy, and 
 to triumph, againft the devil, the 
 world, and the flefli. Amen. 
 
 Grant that whofoever is here 
 dedicated to thee by our office and 
 miniftry may alfo be endued with 
 heavenly virtues, and everlaftingly 
 rewarded, through thy mercy, O 
 bleffed Lord God, who doll live, 
 and govern all things, world with- 
 out end. Amen. 
 
 ALMIGHTY, everliving God, 
 whofe moft dearly beloved Son 
 Jefus Chrift, for the forgivenefs of 
 our fins, did flied out of his moft 
 precious fide both water and blood; 
 and gave commandment to his dif- 
 ciples, that they ihould go teach 
 all nations, and baptize tliem In 
 the Name of the Father, the Son, 
 and the Holy Ghoft ; Regard, we 
 befeech thee, the fupplications of 
 thy congregation; fandtify this Wa- 
 ter to the myftical walliing away 
 of fin ; and grant that this Child, 
 now to be baptized therein, may 
 receive the fulnefs of thy grace, 
 and ever remain in the number 
 of thy faithful and ele6l children ; 
 through Jefus Chrift our Lord. 
 Amen.

 him that the Child may well endure it) he shall dip 
 it in the Water discreetly and warily, saying,

 Son, and of the Holy Ghoft. Amen. 
 
 ^ But if they certify that the Child is rceak, it shall 
 suffice to pour Water upon it, saying the foresaid 
 words,

 And forgive us our trefpafles, As 
 we forgive them that trefpafs a- 
 gainft us. And lead us not into 
 temptation ; But deliver us from 
 evil. Amen. 
 
 51 Then .-hall the Priest sai/, 
 
 WE yield thee hearty thanks, 
 moll merciful Father, that 
 it hath pleafed thee to regenerate 
 this Infant with thy holy Spirit, 
 to receive hint for thine own Child 
 
 by adoption, and to incorporate 
 him into thy holy Church. And 
 humbly we befeech thee to grant, 
 that he, being dead unto fin, and 
 living unto righteoufnefs, and be- 
 ing buried with C hrilt in his death, 
 may crucify the old man, and ut- 
 terly abolifli the whole body of fin ; 
 and that, as he is made partaker of 
 the death of thy Son, he may alfo 
 be partaker of his refurre6lion ; fo 
 that finally, with the refidue of 
 thy holy Church, he may be an 
 inheritor of thine everlafl;ing king-

 Amen. 
 
 ^ Then, all standing up, the Priest shall say to the 
 Godfathers and Godmothers this Exhortation J'ol- 
 
 I^j^ORASMUCH as this Child 
 hath promifed by you his fure- 
 ties to renounce the devil and all 
 his works, to believe in God, and 
 to ferve him ; ye muft remember, 
 that it is your parts and duties to 
 fee that this Infant be taught, fo 
 foon as he fliall be able to learn, 
 what a folemn vow, promife, and 
 profefiion, he hath here made by 
 you. And that he may know thefe 
 things the better, ye fliall call up- 
 on him to hear Sermons ; and chief- 
 ly ye fliall provide, that he may 
 learn the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, 
 and the Ten Commandments, in 
 
 the vulo-ar tong-ue, and all other 
 
 . . . 
 
 things which a Chrillian ought to 
 
 know and believe to his foul's

 be virtuoiifly brought up to lead a 
 godly and a chriftian life; remem- 
 bering- always, that Baptifm doth 
 reprefent unto us our profeffion ; 
 which is, to follow the example of 
 our Saviour Chrift, and to be made 
 like unto him ; that, as he died, 
 and rofe again for us, fo ftiould 
 we, who are baptized, die from 
 fin, and rife again unto righteouf- 
 nefs ; continually mortifying all our 
 evil and corrupt affedlions, and 
 
 daily proceeding in all virtue and 
 godlinefs of living. 
 
 * If Then shall he add and say, 
 
 YE are to take care that this 
 Child be brought to the Bi- 
 fliop to be confirmed by him, fo 
 foon as he can fay the Creed, the

 IT is ceitaia by God's Word, that Children which are baptized, dying before they commit actual sin, 
 are undoubtedly saved.

 % The Curates of every Parish shall often admonish the people, that they defer not the Baptism 
 of their Children longer than the Jirst or second Sunday next after their birth, or other Holy- 
 day falling beticeen, unless upon a great and reasonable cause, to be approved by the Curate. 
 
 If And also they shall warn them, that without like great cause atid necessity they procure not 
 their Children to he baptized at home in their houses. But when need shall compel them so to 
 do, then Baptism shall be administered on this fisliion : 
 
 •f First, let the Minister of the Parish {or, in his absence, any other lauful Jl/inister that can be 
 procured) with them that are present call upon God, and say the Lords Prayer, and so many 
 ff the Collects appointed to be said before in the Form of Publick Baptism, as the time and pre- 
 sent exigence tnll suffer. And then, the Child being tiamed by some one that is present, the 
 Minister shall pour IFater upon it, saying these words ; 
 
 NI baptize thee In the Name 
 • of the Father, and of the 
 Son, and of the HolyGhoft. Amen. 
 
 ^ Then, all kneeling dorcii, the Minister shall give 
 thanks unto God, and say,

 that finally, with the refidue of thy 
 Saints, he may inherit thine ever- 
 lafting kingdom ; through the fame 
 thy Sou Jefus Chrift our Lord. 
 Amen. 
 
 ^ And let them not doubt, but that the Child so 
 baptized is lazij'ulli/ and sufficiently baptized, and 
 ought not to be baptized again. Yet nevertheless, 
 if' the Child, which is after this sort baptized, do 
 aftencard live, it is expedient that it be brought 
 into the Church, to the intent that, if the Minister 
 of the same Parish did himself baptize that Child, 
 the Congregation may be certified of the true Form 
 of Baptism, bif him privately before used: In which 
 case he shall say thus, 
 
 I Certify you, that according to 
 the due and prefcribed Order of 
 the Church, at fiich a time, and at 
 fuch a place, before divers witneffes 
 I baptized this Child. 
 
 1[ But if the Child were baptized by any other lawful 
 Minister, then the Minister of the Parish, where 
 the Child was born or christened, shall examine and 
 try whether the Child be lavfuUy baptized, or no. 
 In which case, if those that bring any Child to the 
 Church do answer, that the same Child is alreadi/ 
 baptized, then shall the Minister examine them fur- 
 ther, saying, 
 
 BY whom was this Child bap- 
 tized? 
 
 Who was prefent when this 
 Child was baptized? 
 
 Becaufe fome things elTential to 
 this Sacrament may happen to be 
 omitted through fear or halle, in 
 fuch times of extremity ; therefore 
 1 demand further of you, 
 
 With what matter was this Child 
 4f aptizcd ? 
 
 With what words was this Child 
 baptized? 
 
 % And if the Minister shall find by the answers of 
 such as bring the Child, that all things were done 
 as they ought to be ; then shall not he christen the 
 Child again, but shall receive him as one of the 
 flock of true christian people, saying thus, 
 
 I Certify you, that in this cafe all 
 is well done, and according un- 
 to due order, concerning the bap- 
 tizing of this Child ; who being 
 born in original iin, and in the 
 wrath of God, is now, by the laver 
 of Regeneration in Baptifm, re- 
 ceived into the number of the chil-

 to him, that he may lead the reft 
 of his life according to this be- 
 ginning. 
 
 51 Then shall the Priest say, 
 
 WE yield thee moft hearty 
 thanks, moft merciful Fa- 
 ther, that it hath pleafed thee to 
 regenerate this Infant with thy 
 holy Spirit, to receive him for thine 
 own Child by ado])tion, and to in- 
 corporate him into thy holy Church. 
 And humbly we befeech thee to 
 grant, that he being dead unto fin, 
 and living imto righteoufnefs, and 
 beino- bmied with Chrift in his 
 death, may crucify the old man, 
 and utterly abolifh the whole bo- 
 dy of fin ; and that, as he is made 
 partaker of the death of thy Son, 
 he may alfo be partaker of Iiis re- 
 furrec^tion ; fo that finally, with the 
 refidue of thy holy C hurch, he may 
 be an inheritor of thine cverlafting 
 kingdom ; throuirh Jefus Chrift our 
 Ijord. ylmen. 
 
 51 Then, all slandin'^ up, the Minister shall make this 
 K.ihorlation to the (jodfathers anil Godmothers. 
 
 ORASMUCIT as this Child 
 hath promifed by you his fure- 
 
 F
 
 Private Baptifm (rf' Infants. 
 
 ties to renounce the devil and all 
 his works, to believe in God, and 
 to ferve him ; ye muft remember, 
 that it is your parts and duties to 
 fee that this' Infant be taught, fo 
 foon as he lliall be able to learn, 
 what a folemn vow, promife, and 
 profeflion he hath made by you. 
 And that he may know thefe things 
 the better, ye lliall call upon him 
 to hear Sermons ; and chiefly ye 
 (hall ])rovide, that he may learn 
 the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and 
 the Ten Commandments, in the 
 vulgar tongue, and all other things 
 which a Chriftian ought to know 
 and believe to his foul's health ; 
 and that this Child may be virtu- 
 oufly brought up to lead a godly 
 and a chriilian life ; remembering 
 alway, that Baptifm doth reprefent 
 unto us our })rofeflion ; which is, 
 
 to follow the example of our Savi- 
 our CIniil, and to be made like 
 unto him ; that, as he died, and 
 role again for us, fo Ihould we, 
 who are baptized, die from (in, 
 and rife again unto righteoufnefs ; 
 continually mortifying all our evil 
 and corrupt affections, and daily 
 ])roceeding in all virtue and god- 
 linefs of living. 
 
 II But if t/iei/ which bring the Infant to the Church 
 do make such uncertain auszvers to the Priesfs ques- 
 tions, as that it cannot appear that the Child by/s 
 baptized zcith Water, In the Name of the Father, 
 and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, {tthich 
 are essential parts of Baptism,) then let the Priest 
 baptize it in the form before appointed for Pub- 
 lick Baptism of Infants; saving that at the dipping 
 of the Child in the Font, he shall use this form of 
 words. 
 
 F thou art not already baptized, 
 N. I baptize thee In the Name 
 of the Father, and of the Son, and 
 of the Floly Ghoii iVmen.
 
 THE MINISTRATION OF 
 
 BAPTISM to fuch as are of RIPER YEARS, 
 
 AND ABLE TO ANSWER FOR THEMSELVES. 
 
 If IFIieu amj such, pemon-'i, as are of riper years, are to he baptized, time/i/ 7totice shall be given to 
 the Bishop, or whom he shall appoint Jor that purpose, a zreek before at the least, by the Parents,

 they be sufficicnth/ instructed in the Principles of the Christian Religion; and that they may 
 be e.vhortcd to prepare themselves with Prayers and Fasting for the receiving of this holy 
 Sacrament. 
 
 ^ And if they shall be found ft, then the Godfathers and Godmothers (the people being assembled 
 upon the Sunday or Holy-dai/ appointed) shall be ready to present them at the Font immediately 
 after the second Lesson, either at Morning or Evening Prayer, as the Curate in his discretion 
 shall think ft. 
 
 •[ And .standing there, the Priest shall ask, z-vhether any rf the persons here presented be baptized, 
 or no : If they shall ansicer, No ; then shall the Priest say thus, 
 
 DEARLY beloved, forafmuch 
 as all men are conceived and 
 born in fin, (and that which is. born 
 of the flefh is liefli,) and they that 
 are in the flefli cannot pleafe God, 
 but live in fin, committing many 
 actual tranfgreffions ; and that our 
 Saviour Chrifl: faith, None can en- 
 ter into the kingdom of God, ex- 
 cept he be regenerate and born 
 anew of Water and of the Holy 
 Ghoft; I befeech you to call upon 
 God the Father, through our Lord 
 Jefus Chrifi;, that of his bounte- 
 ous goodnefs he vnW grant to thcfe 
 perfons that which by nature they 
 cannot have ; that they may be 
 baptized with Water and the holy 
 (ihofi;, and received into Chrifi's 
 holy Church, and be made lively 
 members of the fame. 
 
 ^ Tlien shall the Priest say, 
 
 Let us pray. 
 
 (^ And here all the Congregation shall kneel.) 
 
 AL M I G H 1^ Y ^ and everlafting

 ALMIGHTY and immortal 
 God, the aid of all that need, 
 the helper of all that flee to thee 
 for fuccour, the life of them that

 pcrfona, that they, coming to thy 
 holy Baptifm, may receive remif-

 open the gate unto us that knock ; 
 that thefe perfons may enjoy the 
 everlafting benedi6lion of thy hea- 
 venly walhing, and may come to 
 the eternal kingdom which thou 
 haft promifed by Chrift our Lord. 
 Amen. 
 
 If Then shall the people stand up, and the Priest 
 shall saif, 
 
 Hear the words of the Gofpel, 
 written by Saint John, in the 
 third Chapter, beginning at the 
 firft Veife. 
 
 as are of Riper Years. 
 
 THP2RE was a man of the Pha- 
 rifees, named Nicodemus, a 
 ruler of the Jews. The fame came 
 to Jefus by night, and faid unto 
 him, Rabbi, we know that thou 
 art a teacher come from God ; for 
 no man can do thefe miracles that 
 thou doeft, except God be with 
 him. Jefus anfwered and faid un- 
 to him. Verily, verily I fay unto 
 thee, Except a man be born again, 
 he cannot fee the kingdom of God. 
 Nicodemus faith unto him. How 
 can a man be born when he is old? 
 Can he enter the fecond time into 
 his mother's womb, and be born? 
 Jefus anfwered, ^ erily, verily I fay 
 unto thee. Except a man be born 
 of water and of the Spirit, he can- 
 not enter into the kingdom of God. 
 That which is born of the flelh is 
 flefli ; and that which is born of 
 the Spirit is fpirit. Marvel not that 
 I faid unto thee. Ye muft be born 
 again. The wind bloweth where 
 it lifteth, and thou heareft the found 
 thereof; but canft not tell whence 
 it cometh, and whither it goeth : 
 fo is every one that is born of the 
 Spirit. 
 
 ^ After which he shall say this Exhortation following. 
 
 BELOVED, ye hear in this 
 Gofpel the exprefs words of 
 our Saviour Chrift, that except a 
 man be born of water and of the 
 Spirit, he cannot enter into the 
 kingdom of God. Whereby ye may 
 perceive the great neceflity of this 
 Dd
 
 Puhlick Baptifm offuch 
 
 Sacrament, where it may be had. 
 Like\vife, immediately before his 
 afcenfion into lieaven, (as we read 
 in tlie U\ft Chapter of Saint Mark's 
 Gofpel,) lie gave command to his 
 difciples, faying, Go ye into all the 
 world, and jsreach the Gofpel to 
 every creature. He that belie veth 
 and is baptized fliall be faved ; 
 but he that beiieveth not fliall be 
 daimied. \\ liich alfo flieweth unto 
 us the great benefit we reap there- 
 by. For which caufe Saint Peter 
 the Apoftle, when upon his firft 
 preaching of the Gofpel many were 
 pricked at the heart, and faid to 
 him and the reft of the Apoftles, 
 Men and brethren, what (hall we 
 do? replied and faid unto them, 
 Repent, and lie ba})tized every 
 one of you for the remiflion of 
 fins, and ye fliall receive the gift 
 of the Holy Ghoft. For the pro- 
 mife is to you and your children, 
 and to all that are afar oft', even 
 as many as the Lord our God 
 fliall call. And \\\\\\ many other 
 words exhorted he them, faying. 
 Save yourfelves from this untoward 
 generation. For (as the fame A- 
 poftle teftifieth in another j)lace) 
 even liaptifin doth alfo now fave 
 us, (not the putting away of the 
 filth of the flcfli, but the aiifwer of 
 a good confcience towards (iod,) 
 by the rcfurredtion of Jcfus Chrill. 
 l)oul)t ye not therefore, but ear- 
 iieltly believe, that he will favour- 
 
 as are of Rijoer Years. 
 
 ably receive tJufc prefent pcrfons, 
 truly repenting, and coming unto 
 him by faith ; that he will grant 
 them remiflion of their fins, and 
 beftow upon them the holy Ghoft ; 
 that he will give them the blefling 
 of eternal life, and make tliem par- 
 takers of his everlaftino- kingdom. 
 Wherefore we being thus per- 
 fuaded of the good will of our 
 heavenly Father towards thefe per- 
 fons, declared by his Son Jefus 
 Chrift ; let us faithfully and devout- 
 ly give thanks to Inm, and fay, 
 ALMIGHTY and everlafting 
 God, heavenly Father, we give 
 thee humble thanks, for that thou 
 haft vouchfafed to call us to the 
 knowledge of thy grace, and faith 
 in thee : Increafe this knowledge, 
 and confirm this fiiitli in us ever- 
 more. Give thy holy Spirit to thefe 
 per fons, that they may be born a- 
 gain, and be made heirs of ever- 
 lafting falvation; through our Lord 
 Jefus Chrift, who liveth and reign- 
 eth with thee and the Holy Spirit, 
 now and for ever. Amen. 
 
 ^ Then the Priest shall speak to the persons to he 
 baptized OH this zcise : 
 
 WELL-beloved, who are come 
 hither dcfirino- to receive 
 holy l>aptifin, j/e have heard how 
 the congregation hath prayed, that 
 our Lord Jefus Chrift would vouch- 
 fafe to receive you and blefs you, 
 to releafe you of your fins, to give

 Piiblick Baptifm offuc 
 
 everlafting" life. Yc have heard 
 alfo, that our Lord Jefiis Chrifl 
 hath promifed in his holy Word to 
 grant all thofe things that we have 
 prayed for; whicli promife he, for 
 his part, will moll Jlirely keep and 
 perform. 
 
 Wherefore, after this promife 
 made by Chrift, yc muil alfo faith- 
 fully, for your part, promife in the 
 prefence of thefe your Witneffes, 
 and this whole congregation, that 
 ye will renounce the devil and all 
 his works, and conftantly believe 
 God's holy word, and obediently 
 keep his commandments. 
 
 % Then shall the Priest demand of each of the per- 
 sons to he baptized, severally, these Questions fol- 
 lowins: 
 
 o 
 
 Que ft ion. 
 
 DOST thou renounce the devil 
 and all his works, the vain 
 pomp and gloiy of the world, with 
 all covetous defires of the fame, 
 and the carnal delires of the flefli, 
 fo that thou wilt not follow, nor 
 be led by them? 
 
 Aufwer. I renounce them all. 
 
 Quejfion. 
 
 DOST thou believe in God the 
 Father Almighty, Maker of 
 heaven and earth? 
 
 And in Jefus Chrift his only-be- 
 gotten Son our Lord? And that he 
 was conceived by the Holy Ghoft ; 
 born of the Virgin Mary ; that he 
 fuffered under Pontius Pilate, was 
 crucified, dead, and buried; that 
 
 li as are of Riper Years. 
 
 he went down into hell, and alfo 
 did rife again the third day; that 
 he afcended hito heaven, and fit- 
 teth at the right hand of God the 
 Father Almighty; and from thence 
 fliall come again at the end of the 
 world, to judge the quick and the 
 dead? 
 
 And doft thou believe in the 
 Holy Ghoft ; the holy Cathoiick 
 Church; the Communion of Saints; 
 the Remifllon of fins ; the Refur- 
 redlion of the flefli ; and everlaft- 
 ing life after death? 
 
 Anfwer. All this I ftedfaftly be- 
 lieve. 
 
 Quejlum. 
 
 WILT thou be baptized in this 
 faith? 
 Anfwer. That is my defire. 
 Qucjlion. 
 
 WILT thou then obediently 
 keep God's holy will and 
 conmiandments, and walk in the 
 fame afl the days of thy life? 
 
 Anfwer. I will endeavour fo to 
 do, God being my helper. 
 
 ^ Then shall the Priest say, 
 
 O Merciful God, grant diat the 
 old Adam in thefe pcrfons may 
 be fo buried, that the new man 
 may be raifed up in them. Aincn. 
 Grant that all carnal aftec^ions 
 may die in them, and that all diings 
 belonging to the Spirit may live 
 and grow in them. Amen. 
 
 Grant that they may have power 
 and ftrength to have vi6toiy, and 
 Dd a

 Grant that they, being here de- 
 dicated to thee by our office and

 heavenly virtues, and everlaftingly 
 rewarded, through thy mercy, O 
 blefled Lord God, who doll live,

 ALMIGHTY, everliving God, 
 wliofe moft dearly beloved Son 
 Jefus Chrili;, for the forgivenefs of 
 our fins, did fhed out of his moll 
 jDrecious fide both water and blood, 
 and gave commandment to his dif-

 ask the Godfathers and Godmothers the Name; and

 FORASMUCH as thefe perfons 
 have promifed in your pre- 
 fence to renounce the devil and all 
 his works, to believe in God, and 
 to ferve him ; ye muft remember, 
 that it is your part and duty to 
 put them in mind, what a folemn 
 vow, promife, and profeflion they 
 hmie now made before this conore- 
 gation, and efpecially before you 
 their chofen witneffes. And ye are 
 alfo to call upon them to ufe all 
 
 diligence to be rightly inftru6ted 
 in Ciod's holy Word ; that fo they 
 may grow in grace, and in the 
 knowledge of our Lord Jefus 
 Chrift, and live godly, nghteoufly, 
 and foberly in this prefent world. 
 
 (^ And then, speaking to the new baptized persons, he

 to walk anfwerably to your Chrif- 
 tian calling, and as becometh the 
 children of light ; remembering al- 
 ways that Baptifm reprefenteth un- 
 to us our profeflion ; which is, to 
 follow the example of our Saviour 
 Chrift, and to be made like unto

 are baptized, die from fin, and rife 
 again unto righteoufnefs ; continu- 
 ally mortifying all our evil and 
 corrupt afte6tions, and daily pro- 
 ceeding in all virtue and godlinefs

 IT It is cvpedient that every person, thus baptized, should be cmifii-mcd bi/ the Bishop so soon after 
 his Baptism as co?ivenientlt/ may be; that so he may be admitted to the holy Commiuiion. 
 
 % If any persons not baptized in their infancy shall be brought to be baptized be/ore they come to 
 years cf discretion to anstverfor themselves ; it may suffice to use the Office J or Publicfc Baptism

 QueJL What is thy duty towards 
 thy Neighbour? 
 
 Anfw. My duty towards my 
 Neighbour, is to love him as my- 
 felf, and to do to all men, as I 
 would they fliould do unto me : 
 To love, honoiu*, and fuccour my 
 father and mother : To honour and 
 obey the King, and all that are put 
 in authority imder him : To fubmit 
 myfelf to all my governours, teach- 
 ers, fpiritual pallors and mailers : 
 To order myfelf lowly and reve- 
 rently to all my betters : to hurt 
 
 A Cateclufm. 
 
 no body by word nor deed : To be 
 true and juft in all my dealing : 
 To bear no malice nor hatred in 
 ni}' heart : To keep my hands from 
 picking and ftealing, and my tongue 
 from evil-fpeaking, lying, and flan- 
 dering : To keep my body in tem- 
 perance, fobernefs, and chaftity: 
 Not to covet nor delire other men's 
 goods ; but to learn and labour 
 truly to get mine own living, and 
 to do my duty in that Hate of life, 
 unto which it Ihall pleafe God to 
 call me.

 he will fend us all things that be 
 needful both for our fouls and

 fave and defend us in all dangers 
 ghoftly and bodily; and that he will 
 keep us from all fin and mcked-

 and from everlafting death. And

 mife, that by the grace of God they 
 will evermore endeavour themfelves 
 faithfully to obferve fuch things, 
 as they, by their own confeffion,

 THE FORM OF 
 
 SOLEMNIZATION OF MATKIMONY. 
 
 U First the Banns of all that art to be married together must be published in the Church three 
 several Sundays, during the time of Morning Service, or of Evening Service, {if' there be no 
 Morning Service,) immediately after the second Lesson; the Curate saying after the accus- 
 tomed manner. 
 
 IPublilli the Banns of Marriage 
 between M. of — and N. of — . 
 If any of you know caufe, or jiift 
 impediment, why thefe two perfons 
 fliould not be joined together in 
 holy Matrimony, ye are to declare 
 it. This is the firft S^fecond, or 
 thh'd\ time of alking. 
 
 iT And if the persons that are to be married dzvell in 
 divers Parishes, the Banns must be asked in both 
 Parishes ; and the Curate of the one Parish shall 
 not solemnize Matrimony betwixt them, without a 
 Certificate of the Banns being thrice asked, from the 
 Curate of the other Parish. 
 
 % At the day and time appointed for solemnization of 
 Matrimony, the persons to be married shall come 
 into the body of the Church rcith their friends and 
 neighbours : and there standing together, the Man 
 on the right hand, and the Woman on the left, the 
 Priest shall say, 
 
 D 
 
 EARLY beloved, we are ga- 
 thered together here in the 
 fight of God, and in the face of 
 this congregation, to join together 
 this Man and this Woman in holy 
 Matrimony; which is an honour- 
 able eflate, inftituted of God in 
 the time of man's innocency, fig- 
 nifying imto us the myftical uni- 
 on that is betwixt Chrift and his 
 Church ; which holy eftate Chrift 
 adorned and beautified with his 
 prefence, and firft miracle that he 
 wrought, in Cana of Galilee ; and 
 is commended of Saint Paul to be 
 
 honourable among all men : and 
 therefore is not by any to be en- 
 terprifed, nor taken in hand, un- 
 advifedly, lightly, or wantonly, to 
 fatisfy men's carnal lufts and ap- 
 petites, like brute beafts that have 
 no underftanding ; but reverently, 
 difcreetly, advifedly, foberly, and 
 in the fear of God ; duly confider- 
 inp; the caufes for which Matri- 
 mony was ordained. 
 
 Firft, It was ordained for the 
 procreation of children, to be 
 brought up in the fear and nur- 
 ture of the Lord, and to the praife 
 of his holy Name. 
 
 Secondly, It was ordained for a 
 remedy againft fin, and to avoid 
 fornication ; that fuch perfons as 
 have not the gift of continency 
 might marry, and keep themfelves 
 undefiled members of Chrift 's body. 
 
 Thirdly, It was ordained for the 
 mutual fociety, help, and comfort, 
 that the one ouo-ht to have of the 
 other, both in profperity and adver- 
 fity. Into which holy eftate thefe 
 two perfons prefent come now to 
 be joined. Therefore if any man 
 can ftiew any jnft caufe, why they 
 may not lawfully be joined toge- 
 ther, let him now fpeak, or elfe 
 hereafter for ever hold his peace.
 
 Solemnization of Matrimony. 
 
 ^ And also, speaking unto the persons that shall be 
 married, he shall say, 
 
 I Require and charge you hoth, 
 as ye will anfwer at the dread- 
 ful day of judgement when the fe- 
 crets of all hearts ihall be difclofed, 
 that if either of you know any im- 
 pediment, why ye may not be law- 
 fully joined together in Matrimony, 
 ye do now confefs it. For be ye 
 well affured, that fo many as are 
 coupled together otherwife than 
 God's Word doth allow are not 
 joined together by God ; neither is 
 theu' Matrimony lawful. 
 
 U At which day of Marriage, if any man do alledge 
 and declare any impediment, why they may not be 
 coupled together in Matrimoni/, by God's Law, or 
 the Laws of this Realm ; and will be bound, and 
 sufficient sureties with him, to the parties; or else 
 put in a Caution {to the full value of such charges 
 as the persons to be married do thereby sustain) to 
 prove his allegation : then the solemnization must be 
 deferred, until such time as the truth be tried. 
 
 ^ If no impediment be alledged, then shall the Curate 
 say unto the Man, 
 
 M.Vl/^lLT thou have this Wo- 
 ▼ » man to thy wedded wife, 
 to live tooether after God's ordi- 
 nance in the holy ellate of Matri- 
 mony? Wilt thou love her, com- 
 fort her, honour, and keep her in 
 licknefs and in health ; and, forfak- 
 ing all other, keep thee only unto 
 her, fo long as ye both Ihall live? 
 
 ^ The Man JIuill aiifwer, I will. 
 
 ^ Then shall the Priest, tuy unto the Woman,

 him in ficknefs and in health; and, 
 forfaking all other, keep thee only 
 unto him, fo long as ye both ihall 
 live? 
 
 ^ The Woman Jhall anfwer, I will. 
 
 ^ Then shall the Minister say, 
 
 W ho giveth this Woman to be 
 married to this Man? 
 
 51 Then shall they give their troth to each other in 
 this manner. 
 
 The Minister, receiving the Woman at her father's or 
 friend's hands, shall cause the Man with his right 
 hand to tu/:e the If onian by her right hand, and to 
 say after him asfolloweth, 
 
 131. take thee N. to my wedded 
 wife, to have and to hold from 
 this day forward, for better for 
 worfe, for richer for poorer, in 
 ficknefs and in health, to love and 
 to cherifti, till death us do part, 
 according to God's holy ordinance; 
 and thereto I plight thee my troth. 
 
 •ll Then shall they loose their hands ; and the IVoman, 
 with her right hand taking the Man bt/ his right 
 hand, shall likewise say after the Minister, 
 
 IN. take thee M. to my wedded 
 hulband, to have and to hold 
 from this day forward, for better 
 for worfe, for richer for poorer, in 
 iicknefs ami in health, to love, che- 
 rilh, and to obey, till death us do 
 part, accor(Ung to God's holy or- 
 dinance ; and thereto I give thee 
 mv troth. 
 
 ^ Then shall they again loose their hands; and the 
 Man shall give unto the Woman a Ring, laying the
 
 Solemnization of' Matrimony. 
 
 same Upon the book with the accustomed duty to 
 the Priest and Clerk. And the Priest, taking the 
 Hiii^, shall deliver it unto the Man, to put it upon 
 the fourth Jlnger of the Woman's left hand. And 
 the Man holding the liing there, and taught by 
 the Priest, shall say, 
 
 ITH this Ring I thee wed, 
 with my body I thee wor- 
 (hip, and with all my worldly goods 
 I thee endow: In the Name of the 
 Father, and of the Son, and of the 
 Holy Ghoft. Amen. 
 
 % Then the Man leaving the Ring upon the fourth 
 Jinger of the Woman's left hand, theij shall both 
 kneel down ; and the Minister shall say. 
 
 Let us pray. 
 (Eternal God, Creator and Pre- 
 ferver of all mankind, Giver

 FORASMUCH as M. and N.

 Church ; Look mercifully upon

 to thy Word, (as Chrift did love 
 his fpoufe the Church, who gave 
 himfelf for it, loving and cherifli- 
 ing it even as his own flefti,) and 
 alfo that this woman may be lov- 
 ing and amiable, faithful and obe-

 If ^fter which, if there be no Sermon declaring the

 Ff
 
 Solemnization of Matrimony. 
 
 ALL ye that are married, or 
 that intend to take the lioly 
 eftate of matrimony upon you, hear 
 what the holy Scripture doth lay 
 as touching the duty of hulbands 
 towards theu* wives, and wives to- 
 wards their hulbands. 
 
 Saint Paul, in his Epiftle to the 
 Ephelians, the fifth Chapter, doth 
 give this commandment to all mar- 
 ried men ; Hulbands, love your 
 wives, even as Chrift alfo loved the 
 Church, and gave himfelf for it, 
 that he might fan61;ify and cleanfe 
 it Avitli the wafliing of water, by 
 the Word ; that he might prefent 
 it to himfelf a glorious Church, 
 not having fpot, or wrinkle, or any 
 fuch thing ; but that it fliould he 
 holy, and without blemith. So 
 ought men to love their wives as 
 their own bodies. He that loveth 
 his wife loveth himfelf: for no man 
 ever yet hated his own flelh, but 
 nourillieth and cherillieth it, even 
 as the Lord the Church : for we 
 are memlicrs of his body, of his 
 flefli, and of his bones. For this 
 caufe Ihall a man leave his father 
 and mother, and lliall be joined 
 unto his wife ; and they two fliall 
 be one flefli. Tliis is a great my- 
 ftery; but I fpeak concerning Chrift 
 and the Chiu'ch. Neverthelefs, let 
 evciy one of you in ])articular fo 
 love his wife, even as himfelf. 
 
 Likewifc the fame Saint Paul, 
 writing to the ColofTians, fpeaketh 
 
 thus to all men that are married ; 
 LIufbands, love your wives, and 
 be not bitter againft them. 
 
 Hear alfo what Saint Peter, the 
 Apoftle of Chrift, who was him- 
 felf a married man, faith unto them 
 that are married ; Ye hulbands, 
 dwell with your wives according 
 to knowledge; giving honour unto 
 the wife, as unto the weaker veflel, 
 and as being heirs together of the 
 grace of life, that your prayers be 
 not hindered. 
 
 Hitherto ye have heard the duty 
 of the hulband toward the wife. 
 Now likewife, ye wives, hear and 
 learn your duties toward your huf- 
 bands, even as it is plainly fet 
 forth in holy Scripture. 
 
 Saint Paul, in the aforenamed 
 Epiftle to the Ephelians, teacheth 
 you thus; Wives, fubmit yourfelves 
 unto your own hulbands, as unto 
 the Lord. For the hulband is the 
 head of the wife, even as Chrift is 
 the head of the Chm-ch : and he is 
 the Saviour of the body. There- 
 fore as the Chiu'ch is fubjedl unto 
 Chrift, fo let the wives be to their 
 own hulbands in every thing. And 
 again he faith. Let the wife fee 
 that flie reverence her hulband. 
 
 And in his J^piftle to the Colof- 
 fians. Saint Paul giveth you this 
 ftiort leflbn ; W ives, fubmit your- 
 felves inito your own hulbands, as 
 it is fit in the Lord. 
 
 Saint Peter alfo doth inftriit^
 
 Tlie Vifitatmi of the Side. 
 
 you very 'well, thus faying; Ye 
 wives, be in fubje^tion to your 
 own hulbands ; that, if any obey 
 not the Word, they alfo may with- 
 out the Word be won by the con- 
 verfation of the wi^^es ; while they 
 behold your challe converfation 
 coupled with fear. Whofe adorn- 
 ing, let it not be that outward 
 adorning of plaiting the hair, and 
 of wearing of gold, or of putting 
 on of apparel ; but let it be the 
 hidden man of the heart, in that 
 
 which is not corruptible; even the 
 ornament of a meek and quiet 
 fpirit, which is in the fight of 
 God of great price. For after 
 this manner in the old time the 
 holy women alfo, who truiled in 
 God, adorned themfelves, being 
 in fubjedlion unto their own huf- 
 bands ; even as Sarah obeyed A- 
 braham, calling him lord ; whofe 
 daughters ye are as long as ye do 
 well, and are not afraid with any 
 amazement. 
 
 % It is convenient that the new-married persons should receive the holy Communion at the time of 
 their Marriage, or at the first opportunity after their Marriage. 
 
 THE ORDER FOR 
 
 THE VISITATION OF THE SICK. 
 
 % When any person is sick, notice shall be given thereof 
 to the Minister of the Parish; who, coming into the 
 sick person's house, shall say, 
 
 PEACE be to this houfe, and 
 to all that dwell in it. 
 
 ^ IVhen he cometh into the sick man's presence he shall 
 ■say, kneeling down, 
 
 REMEMBER not. Lord, our 
 iniquities, nor the iniquities 
 of our forefathers : Spare us, good 
 Lord, fpare thy people, whom thou 
 haft redeemed with thy moft pre- 
 cious blood, and be not angry with 
 us for ever. 
 
 Anfw. Spare us, good Lord. 
 
 51 Then the Minister shall say. 
 
 Let us pray. 
 Lord, have mercy upon us.

 ger of the enemy, and keep him in 
 peipetual peace and fafety; through 
 Jefus Chrift our Lord. A^m^n. 
 
 HEAR us, Almighty and moft 
 merciful God and Saviour; 
 extend thy accuftomed goodnefs 
 to this thy fervant who is grieved 
 \vith ficknefs. 8an6lify, we befeech 
 thee, this thy fatherly correction 
 to him ; that the fenfe of his weak- 
 nefs may add ftrength to his faith, 
 and ferioufnefs to his repentance : 
 That, if it Ihall be thy good plea- 
 fure to rellore him to his former 
 health, he may lead the refidue of 
 his life in thy fear, and to thy glory: 
 or elfe, give him grace fo to take 
 thy vilitation, that, after this pain- 
 ful life ended, he may dwell with 
 
 thee in life everlafting ; through Je- 
 fus Chrift our Lord. Amen. 
 
 ^ Then shall the Minister exhort the sick person after 
 this form, or other like. 
 
 DEARLY beloved, know this, 
 that Almighty God is the 
 Lord of life and death, and of all 
 things to them pertaining, as youth, 
 ftrength, health, age, weaknefs, 
 and iicknefs. Wherefore, whatfo- 
 ever your ficknefs is, know you 
 certainly, that it is God's vifitation. 
 And for what caufe foever this 
 ficknefs is fent unto you ; whether 
 it be to tiy your patience for the 
 example of others, and that your 
 faith may be found in the day of 
 the Lord laudable, glorious, and 
 honourable, to the increafe of glo- 
 ry and endlefs felicity; or elfe it 
 be fent unto you to correct and 
 amend in you whatfoever doth of- 
 fend the eyes of your heavenly Fa- 
 ther; know you certainly, that if 
 you tiaily repent you of your fins, 
 and bear your ficknefs patiently, 
 trufting in God's mercy, for his 
 dear Son Jefus Chrift's fake, and 
 render unto him humble thanks 
 for his fatherly vifitation, fubmit- 
 ting yourfelf wholly unto his will, 
 it Ihall turn to your profit, and 
 help you fonvard in the right way 
 that leadeth unto everlafting life. 
 
 ^ If the person visited be verxf sick, then the Curate 
 muy end his exhortation in this place, or else pro- 
 ceed. 
 
 TAIvE therefore in good part 
 the chaftifement of the Lord :
 
 The Vifitation of the Sick. 
 
 For (as Saint Paul faith in the 
 twelfth Chapter to the Hebrews) 
 whom the Lord loveth he chaften- 
 eth, and fcourgeth eveiy fon whom 
 he receiveth. If ye endure chaf- 
 tening, God dealeth with you as 
 with fons ; for what fon is he whom 
 the Father chafteneth not? But if 
 ye be without chaftifement, where- 
 of all are partakers, then are ye 
 baftards, and not fons. Further- 
 more, we have had fathers of our 
 flelh, which corredled us, and we 
 gave them reverence : Ihall we not 
 much rather be in fubje6lion unto 
 the Father of fpirits, and live? For 
 they Verily for a few days chaften- 
 ed us after their own pleafure; but 
 he for our profit, that we might 
 be partakers of his holinefs. Thefe 
 words, ^oodi bj'other, are MTitten in 
 holy Scripture for our comfort and 
 inftrudlion; that we fhould pati- 
 ently, and with thankfgiving, bear 
 our heavenly Father's corredlion, 
 whenfoever by any manner of ad- 
 verfity it fliall pleafe his gracious 
 goodnefs to vilit us. And there 
 fliould be no greater comfort to 
 Chriftian perfons, than to be made 
 like unto Chrift, by fuffering pati- 
 ently advei*fities, troubles, and lick- 
 neffes. For he himfelf went not 
 up to joy, but firft he fuffered pain ; 
 he entered not into his gloiy be- 
 fore he was crucified. So truly 
 our way to eternal joy is to fuffer 
 here with Chrifi; ; and our door to 
 
 enter into eternal life is gladly to 
 die with Chrill ; that we may rife 
 again from death, and dwell with 
 him in everlafl;ing life. Now there- 
 fore, taking your ficknefs, which is 
 thus profitable for you, patiently, 
 I exhort you, in the Name of God, 
 to remember the profefllon which 
 you made unto God in your Bap- 
 tifm. And forafmuch as after this 
 life there is an account to be given 
 unto the righteous Judge, by whom 
 all muft be judged, without refpedt 
 of perfons, I require you to exa- 
 mine yourfelf and your eftate, both 
 toward God and man ; fo that, ac- 
 cufing and condenming yourfelf 
 for your own faults, you may find 
 mercy at om* heavenly Father's 
 hand for Chrift^'s fake, and not be 
 accufed and condenmed in that 
 fearful judgement. Therefore I 
 ihall rehearfe to you the Articles 
 of our Faith, that you may know 
 whether you do believe as a Chrif- 
 tian man fliould, or no. 
 
 ^ Here the Minister shall rehearse the Articles of the 
 I Faith, saying thus, 
 
 DOST thou believe in God the 
 Fatlier Almighty, Maker of 
 heaven and earth? 
 
 And in Jefus Chrifi; his only-be- 
 gotten Son our Lord ? And that he 
 was conceived by the Holy Ghoft, 
 born of the Virgin Marv ; that he 
 fuftered under Pontius Pilate, was 
 crucified, dead, and buried ; that 
 he went down into hell, and alfo
 
 The Vifitation of the Sick. 
 
 ilicl rife again the third clay; that 
 he afcended into heaven, and lit- 
 teth at the right hand of God the 
 Father Ahiiiglity; and from thence 
 fliall come again at the end of the 
 world, to judge the quick and the 
 dead? 
 
 And doft thou believe in the 
 Holy Ghoft ; the holy Catholick 
 Church; the Communion of Saints; 
 the Remillion of lins ; the Refur- 
 redlion of the flelh ; and everlaft- 
 ing Life after death? 
 
 51 The sicl; person shall aiimer, 
 
 All this I Itedfaftly believe. 
 
 ^ Then shall the Minister examine tchether he repent 
 him truly of his sins, and he in charifi/ zcitk all the 
 Kvrld; exhorting him to forgive, from the bottom of 
 his heart, all persons that hate offended him; and if 
 he hath offended am/ other, to ask them forgiveness; 
 and shere he hath done injur)/ or u'roiig to am/ 
 man, that he make amends to the uttermost of his 
 power. And if he hath not before disposed of his 
 goods, let him then be admonished to make his If ill, 
 and to declare his Debts, zehat he orcelh, and tchat 
 is ozring unto him; for the better discharging of his 
 conscience, and the quietness of his Executors. But 
 men should often be put in remembrance to take 
 order for the settling of' their temporal estates, whilst 
 they are in health. 
 
 % These words before rehearsed may be said before the 
 Minister begin his Prai/er, as he shall see cause. 
 
 ^ The Minister should not omit earnesthj to move such 
 sick persons as are of ability to be liberal to the poor. 
 
 ^ Here shall the sick person be moved to make a spe- 
 cial Cojfession of his sins, if he feel his conscience 
 troubled with am/ iceighty matter. After which 
 Confession, the Priest shall absolve him (if he huni- 
 bly and heartily desire it) after this sort. 
 
 OUR Lord Jefus Chrift, who 
 hath left power to his Church 
 to abfolve all (inuers who truly 
 repent and believe in him, of his 
 great mercy forgive thee thine of- 
 fences : And by his authority com- 
 
 mitted to me, I abfolve thee from 
 all thy fins, In the Name of the 
 
 m 
 
 Father, and of the Son, and of the 
 Holy Ghoft. Amen. 
 
 % And then the Priest shall say the Collect following. 
 
 Let us pray. 
 
 OJMoft merciHil God, who, ac- 
 cording to the multitude of 
 thy mercies, doft fo put away the 
 fins of thofe who truly repent, that 
 thou remembereft them no more ; 
 Open thine eye of mercy upon 
 this thy fervant, who moft earneft- 
 ly defireth pardon and forgivenefs. 
 Renew in him, moft loving Father, 
 whatfoever hath been decayed by 
 the fraud and malice of the devil, 
 or by his own carnal will and fi'ail- 
 nefs ; preferve and continue this 
 fick member in the unity of the 
 Church ; confider his contrition, 
 accept his tears, afl*wage his pain, 
 as fiiall feem to thee moft expe- 
 dient for him. And forafmuch as 
 he putteth his full truft only in thy 
 mercy, impute not unto him his 
 former fins, but ftrengthen him 
 with thy blelfed Spirit ; and, Avhen 
 thou art pleafed to take him hence, 
 take him unto thy favour, through 
 the merits of thy moft dearly be- 
 loved Son Jefus Chrift our Lord. 
 Amen. 
 
 5[ Then shall the Minister say this Psalm.

 uncertain xchat time they shall depart out of this iij'e; tlicrejhre, to the intent they may be always 
 in a readiness to die, whensoever it shall please Almighty God to call them, the Curates shall

 exhort their Parishioners to the often 7-eceiving of the holy Communion of the Body and Blood 
 of our Saviour Christ, when it shall be publickly administered in the Church; that so doin<r, 
 they may, in case of sudden visitation, have the less cause to he disquieted for lack of the same. 
 But if the sick person be not able to come to the Church, and yet is desirous to receive the Com-

 there are to communicate with him, {which shall be three, or two at the least,) and having a

 MY fon, defpife not thou the

 he chafteneth ; and fcourgeth every

 VERILY, verily I fay unto you. 
 He that heareth my word,

 pafled from death unto life. 
 
 •1 After -which the Priest sliall proceed according to the form before prescribed for the holy Com- 
 munion, beginning at these words [Ye that do truly, S^c.'] 
 
 U At the time of the distribution of the holy Sacrament, the Priest shall frst receive the Com- 
 munion himself, and after minister unto them that are appointed to communicate with the sick, 
 and last of all to the sick person. 
 
 If But if a man, either by reason of extremity of sickness, or for want of warning in due time to 
 the Curate, or for lack (f company to receive with him, or by any other just impediment, do not 
 receive the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, the Curate shall instruct him, that if he do 
 truly repent him of his sins, and stedfastly believe that Jesus Christ hath suffered death upon the 
 Cross j or him, and shed his Blood J or his redemption, earnestly remembering the benefits he hath 
 thereby, and giving him hearty thanks therefore, he doth eat and drink the Body and Blood of 
 our Sav'wur Christ projitably to his Soul's health, although he do not receive the Sacrament 
 with his mouth. 
 
 % IVhen the sick person is visited, a/ul rece'voeth the holy Communion all at one time, then the 
 Priest, for more expedition, shall cut off the form of the Visitation at the Psalm [In thee, O 
 Loifl, have I ])ut my trust, (^'c] and go straight to the Communion. 
 
 % In the time of the Plague, Sweat, or such other like contagious times of sickness or diseases, 
 when none of the Parish or neighbours can be gotten to communicate zcith the sick in their 
 hou.fes, for fear of the infection, upon special request <f the diseased, the Minister may only 
 communicate with him.

 THE BUmALi OF THE HEAH. 
 
 II Here is to be noted, that the Office ensuing is not to be. used for any that die unbaptized, or, 
 exxommunicate, or have laid 'violent hands upon themselves. 
 
 5 The Priest and Clerks meeting the Corpse at the entrance of the Church-yard, and going before 
 it, either into the Church, or towards the Grave, shall say, or sing, 
 
 I Am the refurrecftion and the 
 life, faith the Lord : he that 
 believeth in me, though he were 
 dead, yet fliall he live : and who- 
 foever liveth and believeth in me 
 fliall never die. St. John xi. 25, 26. 
 
 IKnow that my Redeemer liv- 
 eth, and that he (hall Hand at 
 the latter day upon the earth. And 
 though after my Ikin worms deftroy 
 this body, yet in my flefli fliall I 
 fee God : Avhom I fliall fee for my- 
 felf, and mine eyes fliall behold, 
 and not another. Job xix. 25, 
 26, 27. 
 
 WE brought nothing into this 
 world, and it is certain we 
 can cany nothing out. The Lord 
 gave, and the Lord hath taken a- 
 way; blefled be the name of the 
 Lord. 1 Tim. vi. 7. Job i. 21. 
 
 1[ After they are come into the Church, shall be read 
 one or both of these Psalms following.

 % Said, I will take heed to my 
 -■- ways : that I oftend not in my 
 tongue. 
 
 I will keep my mouth as it were 
 with a bridle : while the ungodly 
 is in my fight. 
 
 I held my tongue, and fpake 
 nothing : I kept filence, yea, even 
 from good words ; but it was pain 
 and grief to me. 
 
 My heart was hot ^vithin me, 
 and while I was thus mufing the 
 fire kindled : and at the lafl; I fpake 
 with my tongue ; 
 
 Lord, let me know mine end, 
 and the number of my days : that 
 I may be certified how long I have 
 to live. 
 
 Behold, thou hafl; made my days 
 as it were a fpaii long : and mine 
 age is even as nothing in refpedl 
 of thee; and verily eveiy man liv- 
 ing is altogether vanity. 
 
 For man walketh in a vain flia- 
 dow, and difquieteth himfelf in 
 vain : he heapeth up riches, and 
 cannot tefl who fliall gather them. 
 
 And now. Lord, what is my 
 hope : truly my hope is even in 
 thee. 
 
 Deliver me from all mine offen- 
 ces : and make me not a rebuke 
 unto the foolifli. 
 
 I became dumb, and opened 
 not my mouth : for it was thy 
 doing. 
 
 Take thy plague away from me :

 At the Burial 
 
 I am even coiifmned by means of 
 thy heavy hand. 
 
 When thou ivith rebukes doft 
 chaften man for fin, thou makeft 
 his beauty to confume away, Uke 
 as it were a moth fretting a gar- 
 ment : eveiy man therefore is but 
 vanity. 
 
 Heai' my prayer, O Lord, and 
 with thine ears confider my call- 
 ing : hold not thy peace at my 
 tears. 
 
 For I am a llranger with thee : 
 and a fojourner, as all my fathers 
 were. 
 
 O fpare me a little, that I may 
 recover my ftrength : before I go 
 hence, and be no more feen. 
 
 Gloiy be to the Father, and to

 As foou as thou fcattereft them, 
 they are even as a fleep : and fade 
 away fuddenly like the grafs. 
 
 In the morning it is green, and

 For we confume away in thy

 Thou haft fet our mifdeeds be-

 For when thou art angiy aU our

 The days of our age are three- 
 fcore years and ten ; and though

 % Then shall follow the Lesson taken out oftheffteetUh 
 Chapter of the former Epistle of Saint Paul to the 
 Corinthians. 
 
 1 Cor. XV. 20. 
 
 NOW is Chrift rifen from the 
 dead, and become the firft- 
 fruits of them that flept. For fince 
 by man came death, by man came 
 alfo the refurredtion of the dead. 
 For as in Adam all die, even fo in 
 Chrift fliall all be made alive. But 
 every man in his own order ; Chrift 
 the firft-fruits ; afterward they that 
 are Chrift's, at his coming. Then 
 Cometh the end, when he fliall have 
 delivered up the kingdom to God, 
 even the Father ; when he fliall 
 have put do\vn all rule, and all 
 authority, and power. For he muft 
 reign, till he hath put all enemies 
 under his feet. The laft enemy 
 that fliall be deftroyed is death. 
 For he hath put all things under 
 
 his feet. But when he faith, all 
 things are put under him, it is 
 manifeft that he is excepted, which 
 did put all things under him. And 
 when all things fliall be fubdued 
 unto him, then fliall the Son alfo 
 himfelf be fubjedt unto him that 
 put all things under "^him, that 
 God may be all in all. Elfe what 
 fliall they do which are baptized 
 for the dead, if the dead rife not 
 at all? Why are they then baptized 
 for the dead? and why ftand we in 
 jeopardy every hour? 1 protdl by 
 your rejoicing, which I have in 
 Chrift Jefus our Lord, I die daily. 
 If after the manner of men I have 
 fought with beafts at Ephefus, what 
 advantageth it me, if the dead rife 
 not? Let us eat and drink, for to 
 morrow we die. Be not deceived: 
 evil communications corrupt good 
 manners. Awake to righteoufnefs, 
 and fin not ; for fome have not the 
 knowledge of God. I fpeak this 
 to your fliame. But fome man 
 will fav. How are the dead raifed 
 up? and with what body do they 
 come? Thou fool, that which thou 
 foweft is not quickened, except it 
 die. And that which thou foweft, 
 thou foweft not that body that fliall 
 be, but bare grain, it may chance 
 of wheat, or of fome other grain : 
 But God giveth it a body, as it 
 hath pleafed him, and to every 
 feed his owii body. All flefli is 
 not the fame flefli ; but there is
 
 At the Burial of the Dead. 
 
 one kind of fleflii of men, another 
 flefli of beafts, another of filhes, 
 and another of birds, Tliere are 
 alfo celeftial bodies, and bodies 
 terreftrial; but the glory of the 
 celeftial is one, and the glory of 
 the terreftrial is another. There 
 is one glory of the fun, and an- 
 other gloiy of the moon, and an- 
 other glory of the ftars ; for one 
 ftar cUffereth from another ftar in 
 gloiy. So alfo is the refurre6lion 
 of the dead : It is fown in corrup- 
 tion ; it is raifed in incorruption : 
 It is fown in diflionour; it is raifed 
 in gloiy: It is fown in weaknefs ; 
 it is raifed in power : It is fown a 
 natural body ; it is raifed a fpiritual 
 body. There is a natural body, 
 and there is a fpiritual body. And 
 fo it is written, The iirft man Adam 
 was made a living foul ; the laft 
 Adam was made a quickening fpi- 
 rit. Howbeit, that was not fii-ft 
 which is fpiritual, but that which is 
 natural; and afterward that which 
 is fpiritual. The firft man is of 
 the earth, earthy: the fecond man 
 is the Lord from heaven. As is 
 the earthy, fucli are they that are 
 earthy : and as is the heavenly, 
 fuch are they alfo that are hea- 
 venly. And as we have borne the 
 image of the earthy, we ihall alfo 
 bear the image of the heavenly. 
 Now this I fay, brethren, that fleih 
 and blood cannot inherit the kini>- 
 doni of God ; neither doth corrup- 
 
 tion inherit incorruption. Behold, 
 I fliew you a myftery: We Ihall 
 not all ileep, but we Ihall all be 
 changed, in a moment, in the 
 twinkling of an eye, at the laft 
 trump, (for the trumpet Ihall found,) 
 and the dead fhall be raifed incor- 
 ruptible, and we Ihall be changed. 
 For this corruptible muft put on 
 iucoiTuption, and this mortal muft 
 put on immortality. So when this 
 corruptible fliall have put on incor- 
 ruption, and this mortal lliall have 
 put on innnortality ; then fliall be 
 brought to pafs the faying that is 
 vvi'itten, Death is fwallowed up in 
 vidtoiy. O death, where is thy 
 fting? O grave, where is thy vic- 
 tory? The fting of death is fm, and 
 the ftrength of fin is the law. But 
 thanks be to God, which giveth 
 us the victory through our Lord 
 Jefus Chrift. Therefore, my be- 
 loved brethren, be ye ftedfaft, un- 
 moveable, always abounding in the 
 work of the Lord, forafmuch as ye 
 know that your labour is not in 
 vain in the Lord. 
 
 ^ When the}/ come to the Grave, while the Corpse is 
 made readi/ (o be laid into the earth, the Priest shall 
 sal/, or the PrieH and Clerics shall sing : 
 
 MAN that is born of a woman 
 hath but a fliort time to live, 
 and is full of mifery. He conieth 
 up, and is cut down, like a flower; 
 he fleeth as it were a fliadow, and 
 never ciontinueth in one flay. 
 In the midil of life we are in
 
 death : of wlioni may we feek for 
 fiiccoiir, but of thee, () Lord, 
 who for our iins art juftly dif- 
 pleafed? 
 
 Yet, O Lord God moft holy, 
 O Lord moll mighty, O holy and 
 moft merciful Saviour, deliver us 
 not into the bitter pains of eternal 
 death. 
 
 Thou knoweft, Lord, the fecrets 
 of our hearts ; Ihut not thy merci- 
 ful ears to our prayer ; but fpare 
 us. Lord moft holy, O God moft 
 mighty, O holy and merciful Savi- 
 our, thou moft worthy Judge eter- 
 nal, fuifer us not, at our laft hour, 
 for any pains of death, to fall from 
 thee. 
 
 ^ Then, znhile the earth shall be cast upon the Body 
 by some standing by, the Priest shall say, 
 
 FORASMUCH as it hath pleaf- 
 ed Almighty God of his great 
 mercy to take unto himfelf the 
 foul of our dear brother here de- 
 parted, we therefore commit his 
 body to the ground ; earth to earth, 
 allies to allies, duft to duft ; in fure 
 and certain hope of the Refurrec- 
 tion to eternal life, through our 
 Lord JefusChrift; who ftiall chano-e 
 our vile body, that it may be like 
 unto his glorious body, according 
 to the mighty working, whereby 
 he is able to fubdue all things to 
 himfelf, 
 
 ^ Then shall be said or sung, 
 
 Heard a voice from heaven, 
 faying unto me, Write, From 
 
 At the Burial of the Dead. 
 
 henceforth blefled are the dead 
 which die in the Lord : even fo

 their labours.

 II The JVuman, ill l/ic imial time after Iter Ddhery, shall come into the Church decentlj/ appa- 
 relled, and there shall kneel down in some convenient place, as hath been accustomed, or as the 
 Ordinary shall direct: And then the Priest shall say unto her. 
 
 FORASMUCH as it hath pleaf- 
 ed Ahnighty God of his good- 
 iiefs to give you fafe deliverance, 
 and hath preferved you in the great 
 danger of Child-birth ; you fliall

 (^ Then shall the Priest say the cxvi"' Psalm,) 
 
 I 
 
 Dilecvi qiioniam. 
 
 Am well pleafed : that the 
 Lord hath heard the voice of 
 my prayer ; 
 
 That he hath inclined his ear 
 unto me : therefore will I call 
 upon him as long as I live. 
 
 The fnares of death compafled 
 me round about : and the pains of 
 hell gat hold upon me. 
 
 I found trouble and heavinefs, 
 and I called upon the Name of 
 the Lord : O Lord, I hefeech thee, 
 deliver my foul. 
 
 Gracious is the Lord, and right- 
 eous : yea, our God is merciful. 
 
 The Lord prefeiTeth the lim- 
 ple : I was in mifery, and he help- 
 ed me. 
 
 Turn again then unto thy reft, 
 O my foul : for the Lord hath re- 
 warded thee. 
 
 And why? thou haft delivered 
 my foul from death : mine eyes 
 fi'om tears, and my feet from fall- 
 ing. 
 
 I will walk before the Lord : in 
 the land of the living. 
 
 I believed, and therefore will I 
 fpeak ; but I was fore troubled : I 
 faid in my hafte, All men are liars. 
 
 What reward fliall I give unto 
 the Lord : for all the benefits that 
 he hath done unto me? 
 
 I will receive the cup of falva- 
 tion : and call upon the Name of 
 the Lord. 
 
 I will pay my vows now in the 
 prefence of all his people : in the 
 courts of the Lord's houfe, even in 
 the midft of thee, O Jerufalem. 
 Fraife the Lord. 
 
 Gloiy be to the Father, and to

 A COMMINATION, 
 
 OR 
 
 DENOUNCING OF GOD'S ANGER AND JUDGEMENTS 
 
 AGAINST SINNERS, 
 
 With certain Prayers, to be used on the first Day of Lent, and at other times, 
 
 as the Ordinary shall appoint. 
 
 H After Morning Prayer, the Litany ended according to the accustomed manner, the Priest shall, 
 
 in the Reading-Pezv or Pulpit, say, 
 
 BRETHREN, in the Primitive 
 Church there was a godly dif- 
 cipline, that, at the beginning of 
 Lent, fuch perfons as ftood con- 
 victed of notorious fin were put to 
 open penance, and puniftied in this 
 world, that their fouls might be 
 faved in the day of the Lord ; and 
 that others, admonifiied by their 
 example, might be the more afraid 
 to offend. 
 
 Inflead whereof, (until the faid 
 difcipline may be reilored again, 
 which is much to be wiflied,) it is 
 thought good, that at this time 
 (in the prefence of you all) fliould 
 be read the general fentences of 
 God's curfing againfi; impeniterit 
 finners, gathered out of the feven 
 and twentieth Chapter of Deute- 
 ronomy, and other places of Scrip- 
 ture; and that ye Ihould anfwer to 
 eveiy Sentence, Amen : To the in- 
 tent that, being admonifiied of the 
 great indignation of God againfi; 
 finners, ye may the rather be mov- 
 ed to earneft and true repentance ; 
 and may walk more warily in thefe 
 
 dangerous days ; fleeing from fuch 
 \'ices, for which ye afliirm with 
 your own mouths the curie of God 
 to be due. 
 
 CURSED is the man that mak- 
 eth any carved or molten

 our Lord God, with all contrition 
 and meeknefs of heart ; bewailing 
 and lamenting our linful life, ac- 
 knowledging and confefling our of- 
 fences, and feeking to bring forth 
 worthy fruits of penance. For now 
 is the ax put unto the root of the 
 trees, fo that every tree that bring- 
 eth not forth good fniit is hewn 
 down, and call into the fire. It 
 is a fearful thing to fall into the 
 hands of the living God : he fliall

 THE FIRST DAY. 
 
 Psalm i. Beatus vir, qui non 
 abiit S^c. 
 
 BLESSED is the man that hath 
 not walked in the counfel of 
 the ungodly, nor ftood in the way 
 of finners : and hath not fat in the 
 feat of the fcornful. 
 
 2 But his delight is in the law 
 of the Lord : and in his law will 
 he exercife himfelf day and night. 
 
 3 And he Ihall be like a tree 
 planted by the water-fide ; that 
 will bring' forth his fruit in due 
 feafon. 
 
 4 His leaf alfo fliall not wither : 
 and look, whatfoever he doeth, it 
 fliall profper. 
 
 5 As for the ungodly, it is not 
 fo with them : but they are like 
 the chaff, which the wind fcat- 
 tereth away from the face of the 
 earth. 
 
 6 Therefore the ungodly fliall 
 not be able to ftand in the judge- 
 ment : neither the finners in the 
 congregation of the righteous. 
 
 7 But the Lord knoweth the 
 way of the righteous : and the way 
 of the ungodly fliall perifli. 
 
 Psalm ii. Quare fremueruni - 
 gentes? 
 
 WHY do the heathen fo fu- 
 rioully rage together : and 
 why do the people imagine a vain 
 thing? 
 
 2 The kings of the earth fl;and 
 up, and the rulers take counfel 
 together : againft: the Lord, and 
 againfl; his Anointed. 
 
 3 Let us break their bonds a- 
 funder : and cafl; away their cords 
 from us. 
 
 4 He that dwelleth in heaven 
 fliall laugh them to fcorn : the 
 Lord fliall have them in derifion. 
 
 5 Then fliall he fpeak unto them 
 in his wi'ath : and vex them in his 
 fore difpleafure. 
 
 6 Yet have I fet my King : upon 
 my holy hill of Sion. 
 
 7 I will preach the law, where- 
 of the Lord hath faid unto me : 
 Thou art my Son, this day have I 
 begotten thee. 
 
 8 Defire of me, and I fliall give 
 thee the heathen for thine inherit- 
 ance : and the utmofi; parts of the 
 earth for thy pofleflion. 
 
 9 Thou flialt bruife them with

 rejoice unto him with reverence. 
 
 12 Kifs the Son, left he be

 Psalm iii. Domhie, quid multipli-

 ORD, how are they increafed 
 that trouble me : many are 
 they that rife againft me. 
 
 2 Many one there be that fay 
 of my foul : There is no help for 
 him in his God. 
 
 3 But thou, O Lord, art my de- 
 fender : thou art my worfliip, and 
 the lifter up of my head. 
 
 4 I did call upon the Lord with 
 my voice : and he heard me out of 
 his holy hill. 
 
 5 I laid me down and flept, 
 and rofe up again : for the Lord 
 fuftained me. 
 
 6 I will not be afraid for ten 
 thoufands of the people : that have 
 fet themfelves aijainft me round,

 5 Offer the facrifice of right-

 5 His ways are alway grievous : 
 thy judgements are far above out

 he all his enemies.

 murder the innocent; his eyes are

 even as a lion lurketh he in his

 works : and my talking Ihall be of 
 thy doings. 
 
 13 Thy way, O God, is holy : 
 who is fo great a God as our God? 
 
 14 Thou art the God that doeth 
 wonders : and haft declared thy 
 power among the people. 
 
 15 Thou haft mightily delivered 
 thy people : even the fons of Jacob 
 and Jofeph. 
 
 16 The waters faw thee, O God, 
 the waters faw thee, and were 
 afraid : the depths alfo were trou- 
 bled. 
 
 17 The clouds poured out wa- 
 ter, the air thundered : and thine 
 arrows went abroad. 
 
 18 The voice of thy thunder 
 was heard round about : the light- 
 nings flione upon the ground ; 
 the earth was moved, and ftiook 
 withal. 
 
 19 Thy way is in the fea, and 
 thy paths in the great waters : and 
 thy footfteps are not known. 
 
 20 Thou leddeft thy people like 
 ftieep : by the hand of Mofes and 
 Aaron.

 HEAR my law, O my people : 
 incline your ears unto the 
 words of my mouth. 
 
 2 I will open my mouth in a 
 parable : I will declare hard fen- 
 tences of old ; 
 
 SAL MS. Day 15. 
 
 3 Which we have heard and 
 known : and fuch as our fathers 
 have told us ; 
 
 4 That we ftiould not hide them 
 from the children of the genera- 
 tions to come ; but to ftiew the ho- 
 nour of the Lord, his mighty and 
 wonderful works that he hath done. 
 
 5 He made a covenant with Ja- 
 cob, and gave Ifrael a laAV : which 
 he commanded our forefathers to 
 teach their children ; 
 
 6 That their pofterity might 
 know it : and the children which 
 were yet unborn ; 
 
 7 To the intent that when they 
 came up : they might fliew their 
 children the fame ; 
 
 8 That they might put their 
 truft in God : and not to forget the 
 works of God, but to keep his 
 commandments ; 
 
 9 And not to be as their fore- 
 fathers, a faithlefs and ftubborn ge- 
 neration : a generation that fet not 
 their heart aright, and whofe fpirit 
 cleaveth not ftedfaftly unto God ; 
 
 10 Like as the children of E- 
 phraim : who being hamefled, and 
 carrying bows, turned themfelves 
 back in the day of battle. 
 
 1 1 They kept not the covenant 
 of God : and would not walk in 
 his law; 
 
 12 But forgat what he had 
 done : and the wonderful works 
 that he had ihewed for them. 
 
 13 Marvellous things did he in
 
 Day \5. T H E P 
 
 the fight of our forefathers, in the 
 land of Egypt : even in the field 
 of Zoan. 
 
 14 He divided the fea, and let 
 them go through : he made the 
 waters to ftand on an heap. 
 
 15 In the day-time alfo he led 
 them with a cloud : and all tlie 
 night through with a light of fire. 
 
 16 He clave the hard rocks in 
 the wildernefs : and gave them 
 drink thereof, as it had been out 
 of the great depth. 
 
 17 He brought waters out of 
 the ilony rock : fo that it guihed 
 out like the rivers. 
 
 18 Yet for all this they finned 
 more againfi; him : and provoked 
 the mofi; Highefl; in the wildernefs. 
 
 19 They tempted God in their 
 hearts : and required meat for 
 their luit. 
 
 20 They fpake againfi; God alfo, 
 faying : Shall God prepare a table 
 in the wildernefs? 
 
 21 He fmote the ftony rock in- 
 deed, that the water guflied out, 
 and the ftreams flowed \vithal : but 
 can he give bread alfo, or provide 
 flefli for his people? 
 
 22 When the Lord heard this, 
 he was wroth : fo the fire was kind- 
 led in Jacob, and there came up 
 heavy difpleafure againft Ifrael ; 
 
 23 Becaufe they believed not 
 in God : and put not their truil 
 in his help. 
 
 24 So he connnanded the clouds 
 
 SAL MS. Day 15^ 
 
 above : and opened the doors of 
 heaven. 
 
 25 He rained down manna alfo 
 upon them for to eat : and gave 
 them food from heaven. 
 
 26 So man did eat angels 
 food : for he fent them meat 
 enough. 
 
 27 He caufed the eafl;-wind to 
 blow under heaven : and through 
 his power he brought in the fouth- 
 wefi;-wind. 
 
 28 He rained flelh upon them 
 as thick as dull : and feathered 
 fowls like as the fand of the fea. 
 
 29 He let it fall among their 
 tents : even round about their 
 habitation. 
 
 30 So they did eat, and were 
 well filled ; for he gave them their 
 own defire : they were not difap- 
 pointed of their lull. 
 
 31 But while the meat was yet 
 in their mouths, the hea^y wrath 
 of God came upon them, and flew 
 the wealthiell of them : yea, and 
 fmote do^vn the chofen men that 
 were in Ifrael. 
 
 32 But for all this they finned 
 yet more : and believed not his 
 wondrous works. 
 
 33 Therefoi'e their days did he 
 confume in vanity : and their years 
 in trouble. 
 
 34 When he flew them, they 
 fought him : and turned them 
 early, and enquired after God. 
 
 35 And they remembered that
 
 Day 15. 
 
 THE PSALMS. 
 
 God was their ftrenoth : and that 
 the hiffh God was their redeemer. 
 
 36 Neverthelefs, they did but flat- 
 ter him with their mouth : and dif- 
 fembled with him in their tongue. 
 
 37 For their heart was not whole 
 with him : neither continued they 
 iledfaft in his covenant. 
 
 38 But he was fo merciful, that 
 he forgave their mifdeeds : and 
 deftroyed them not. 
 
 39 Yea, many a time turned he 
 his wrath away : and would not fuf- 
 fer his whole difpleafure to arife. 
 
 40 For he confidered that they 
 were but flelh : and that they were 
 even a wind that pafleth away, and 
 Cometh not again. 
 
 41 Many a time did they pro- 
 voke him in the wildernefs : and 
 grieved him in the defert. 
 
 42 They turned back, and 
 tempted God : and moved the 
 Holy One in Ifrael. 
 
 43 They thought not of his 
 hand : and of the day when he 
 delivered them from the hand of 
 the enemy; 
 
 44 How he had wi'ought his 
 miracles in Egypt : and his won- 
 ders in the field of Zoan. 
 
 45 He turned their waters into 
 blood : fo that they might not 
 drink of the rivers. 
 
 46 He fent lice among them, 
 and devoured them up : and frogs 
 to deftroy them. 
 
 47 He gave their fruit unto the 
 
 Day 15. 
 
 caterpillar : and their labour unto 
 the grafshop[)er. 
 
 48 He deflroyed their vines 
 with hail-flones : and their mul- 
 berry-trees with the froH. 
 
 49 He fmote their cattle alfo 
 with hail-ltones : and their flocks 
 with hot thunder-bolts. 
 
 50 He call upon them the furi- 
 oufnefs of his wrath, anger, dif- 
 pleafure, and trouble : and fent 
 evil angels among them. 
 
 51 He made a way to his in- 
 dignation, and fpared not their 
 foul from death : but gave their 
 life over to the peftilence ; 
 
 52 And fmote all the firil- 
 born in Egypt : the moft prin- 
 cipal and mightieft in the dwell- 
 ings of Ham. 
 
 53 But as for his o^vn people, 
 he led them forth like Iheep : and 
 carried them in the wildernefs like 
 a flock. 
 
 54 He brought them out fafe- 
 ly, that they fhould not fear : and 
 overwhelmed their enemies with 
 the fea. 
 
 55 And brought them within 
 the borders of his fan6luary : even 
 to his moimtain which he purchaf- 
 ed with his right hand. 
 
 56 He cafi; out the heathen alfo 
 before them : caufed their land to 
 be divided among them for an he- 
 ritage, and made the tribes of If- 
 rael to dwell in their tents. 
 
 57 So they tempted, and dif-
 
 Day 15. 
 
 pleafed the luoft high God : and 
 kept not his teftimonies ; 
 
 58 But turned their backs, and 
 fell away hke their forefathers : 
 ftarting afide Hke a broken bow. 
 
 59 For they grieved him ^vith 
 their hill-ahars : and provoked him 
 to difpleafure with their images. 
 
 60 When God heard this, he 
 was wi'oth : and took fore dif- 
 pleafure at Ifrael. 
 
 6 1 So that he forfook the taber- 
 nacle in Silo : even the tent that 
 he had pitched among men. 
 
 62 He delivered their power 
 into captivity : and their beauty 
 into the enemy's hand. 
 
 63 He gave his people over al- 
 fo unto the fword : and was wroth 
 with his inheritance. 
 
 64 The fire confumed their 
 young men : and their maidens 
 were not given to marriage. 
 
 65 Their j)riefts were llain with 
 the fword : and there were no en- 
 dows to make lamentation. 
 
 66 So the Lord awaked as one 
 out of fleep : and like a giant re- 
 freflied with wine. 
 
 67 He fmote his enemies in the 
 hinder parts : and put them to a 
 perpetual fliame. 
 
 68 He refufed the tabernacle of 
 Jofeph : and chofe not the tribe of 
 Ephraim ; 
 
 ()!) I^)ut chofe the tribe of Ju- 
 dah : even the hill of Sion which 
 he loved.

 70 And there he built his tem- 
 
 ple on high : and laid the founda- 
 tion of it like the ground which 
 he hath made continually. 
 
 7 1 He chofe David alfo his fer- 
 vant : and took him away from 
 the flieep-folds. 
 
 72 As he was followmg the ewes 
 great with young ones he took 
 him : that he might feed Jacob his 
 people, and Ifrael his inheritance. 
 
 73 So he fed them with a faith- 
 ful and true heart : and ruled them 
 prudently with all his power.

 made Jerufalem an heap of ftones.

 openly ftiewed upon the heathen 
 in our fight. 
 
 12 O let the forrowful fighing

 are appointed to die. 
 
 13 And for the blafphemy where-

 phemed thee : reward thou them, 
 O Lord, feven-fold into their bo-

 4 For this was made a ftatute 
 for Ifrael : and a law of the God 
 of Jacob. 
 
 5 This he ordained in Jofeph 
 for a teftimony : when he came 
 
 out of the land of Egypt, and had 
 heard a fl;range language. 
 
 6 I eafed his flioulder from the

 vered from making the pots. 
 
 7 Thou calledft upon me in

 heard thee what time as the fi;orm

 I fliall fill it. 
 
 12 But my people would not 
 hear my voice : and Ifrael would

 2 Let them give thanks whom 
 the Lord hath redeemed : and deli- 
 vered from the hand of the enemy ;

 lands, from the eaft, and from the 
 weft : from the north, and from

 J. T is evident unto all men dilis^ently reading the holy Scripture and

 and known to have fuch qualities as are requijite for the fame ; and alfo 
 by piiblick Prayer, with Impojition of Hands, were approved and ad- 
 mitted thereunto by lawful Authority. And therefore, to the intent that 
 thefe Orders may be continued, and revo'ently ufed and ejleemed, in the 
 United Church o/' England and Ireland; no man fliall be accounted or

 Thirty years of age. 
 
 And the BiJJiop, knowing either by himfelf or by fufficient tejlimony, 
 any Perfon to be a man of virtuous converfation, and ivithout crime ; and, 
 after examination and trial, fnding him learned in the Latin Tongue, 
 and fufficiently injlrudied in holy Scripture, may at the times appointed 
 in the Canon, or elfe, on urgent occafon, upon fome other Sunday or

 BRETHREN, if there be any 
 of you who knoweth any Im- 
 pediment, or notable Crime, in 
 any of thefe perfons prefented to 
 be ordered Deacons, for the which 
 he ought not to be admitted to 
 that Office, let him come forth in 
 the Name of God, and (hew what 
 the Crime or Impediment is. 
 
 ^ And if ant/ great Crime or Impediment be objected, 
 the Bishop shall surcease from ordering that person, 
 until such time as the party accused shall be found 
 clear oftlmt Crime. 
 
 % Then the Bishop (commending such as shall be 
 found meet to be Ordered to the Prayers of the

 ^REN the twelve called the 
 multitude of the difciples unto 
 them, and faid, It is not reafon 
 that we fliould leave the Word of 
 God, and fei-ve tables. Wherefore, 
 brethren, look ye out among you 
 feven men of honeft report, full of 
 the holy Ghoft and wifdom, whom 
 we may appoint over this bufinefs. 
 But we will give ourfelves continu- 
 ally to prayer, and to the minilliy 
 of the Word. And the faying 
 pleafed the whole multitude. And 
 they chofe Stephen, a man full of 
 faith, and of the holy Gholl, and 
 Philip, and Prochorus, and Nica- 
 nor, and I'imon, and Parnienas, 
 and Nicolas a profelyte of Antioch; 
 whom they fet before the 7\poftles ; 
 and, when they had prayed, they 
 laid their hands on them. And 
 the Word of God increafed, and 
 the number of the difciples multi- 
 
 plied in Jerufalem greatly, and a 
 great company of the Priefts were 
 obedient to the faith. 
 
 ^ And before the Gospel, the Bishop, sitting in his

 and against the power and authority of all foreign 
 Potentates, to be ministered unto every one of them 
 that are to be Ordered. 
 
 The Oath of the King's Sovereignty. 
 
 I A. B. do fwear, that I do from

 That Princes excommunicated or 
 deprived by the Pope, or any Au- 
 thority of the See of Rome, may 
 be depofed or murdered by their 
 Subjects, or any other whatfoever. 
 And I do declare, that no foreign

 timate their eftates, names, and

 God, and to preach the fame, if

 LET your loins be girded about, 
 and your lights burning; and 
 ye yourfelves like unto men that 
 wait for their Lord, when he will 
 return from the wedding ; that, 
 when he cometh and knocketh, 
 they may open unto him immedi-

 fliall find watching. \ erily I fay 
 unto you, that he fliall gird him-

 immediately before the Benediction, shall be said

 ALMIGHTY God, giver of all 
 good things, who of thy great 
 goodnefs haft vouchfafed to accept 
 and take thefe thy Serv^ants un-

 Church ; Make them, we befeecli 
 thee, O Lord, to be modeft, hum-

 obferve all fpiritual DifcipUne; that 
 they having always the teftimony 
 of a good confcience, and continu-

 Son Chrift, may fo well behave 
 themfelves in this inferior Office, 
 that they may be found worthy to 
 be called unto the higher IMiniftries 
 in thy Church ; through the fame 
 thy Son our Saviour Jefus Chrift, to 
 whom be glory and honour world 
 without end. Amen. 
 
 PREVENT us, O Lord, in all 
 our doings with thy molt gra- 
 cious favour, and further us with 
 thy continual help ; that in all our 
 works begun, continued, and end- 
 ed in thee, we may glorify thy 
 holy Name, and finally by thy mer- 
 cy obtain everlafting life; through 
 Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen. 
 
 THE peace of God, which pafl*-

 Son Jefus Chrift our Lord : And

 % And here it must be declared unto the Deacon, that he must continue in that Office of a Deacon the space of 
 a whole year {except for reasonable causes it shall otherwise seem good unto the Bishop) to the intent he may 
 be perfect, and well expert in the things appertaining to the Ecclesiastical Administration. In executing 
 whereof if he be found faithful and diligent, he may be admitted by his Diocesan to the Order of Priesthood, 
 at the times appointed in the Canon ; or else, on urgent occasion, upon some other Sunday, or Iloly-day, in the 
 face of the Church, in such manner and form as hereafter followeth.
 
 THE FORM AND MANNER 
 
 OHBERING OF PRIESTS. 
 
 H fr/ien the (lay appointed hy the Bis/iop is come, after Morning Prayer is ended, there shall he a 
 Sermon or Exhortation, declaring the Duty and Office oj' such as come to he admitted Priests; 
 how necessary that Order is in the Church of Christ, and also horv the people ought to esteem 
 them in their Ojjice. 
 
 % First, the Archdeacon, or, in his absence, one ap- 
 pointed in his stead, shall present unto the Bishop 
 {sitting in his clinir near to the holy Tabic) all ihem 
 that shall receive lite Order of Priesthood that day 
 (each of them being decently habited) and say, 
 
 REVEREND Father in Gocl, 
 I prefent unto you thefe per- 
 fons prefent, to be admitted to the 
 Order of Priefthood. 
 
 The Bishop. 
 
 TAKE heed that die perfons, 
 whom ye prefent unto us, be 
 apt and meet, for their learning 
 and godly converfation, to exercife 
 their Miniftry duly, to the honour 
 of God, and the edifying of his 
 Church. 
 
 5[ The Archdeacon shall answer, 
 
 I Have enquired of them, and 
 alfo examined them, and think 
 them fo to be. 
 
 11 Then the Bishop shall say unto the people ; 
 
 GOOD people, thefe are they 
 whom we purpofe, God will- 
 ing, to receive this day unto the 
 holy Office of Priefthood : For after 
 due examination we find not to 
 the contrary, but that they be law- 
 fully called to their Fundlion and 
 Miniftiy, and thafe they be perfons 
 meet for the fame. But yet if there 
 be any of you, who knoweth any 
 
 Impediment, or notable Crime, in 
 any of them, for the which he ought 
 not to be received into this holy 
 Miniftry, let him come forth in 
 the Name of God, and fliew what 
 the Crime or Impediment is. 
 
 If And if any great Crime or Impediment he objected, 
 the Bishop shall surcease from Ordering that per- 
 son, until such time as the party accused shall be 
 found clear of that Crime. 
 
 ^ Then the Bishop {commending such as shall be 
 found meet to be Ordered to the Prayers of the 
 congregation) shall, nith the Clergy and people pre- 
 sent, sing or say the IJtany, tcith the Prai/ers, as is 
 befoi-e appointed in the Form of Ordering Deacons; 
 save only, that, in the proper Suffrage there added, 
 the word [Deacons] shall be omitted, and the word 
 [Priests] inserted instead of it. 
 
 ^ Then shall be sung or said the Service for the Com- 
 munion, with the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, as 
 followeth. 
 
 The ColleM. 
 
 ALMIGHTY God, giver of all

 Spirit haft appointed divers Orders 
 of Minifters in the Church ; x^Ier- 
 cifully behold thefe thy fervants 
 now called to the Office of Prieft- 
 hood ; and replenifli them fo with 
 the truth of thy do6lrine, and adorn 
 them with innocency of life, that,

 The Epijile. Ephef. iv. 7. 
 
 UNTO eveiy one of us is given 
 grace, according to the mea- 
 fure of the gift of Chrift. A^liere- 
 fore he faith. When he afcended 
 up on high, he led captivity captive, 
 and gave gifts unto men. (Now 
 that he afcended, what is it but 
 that he alfo defcended fii-ft into 
 the lower parts of the earth? He 
 that defcended, is the fame alfo 
 that afcended up far above all hea- 
 vens, that he might fill all things.) 
 And he gave fome Apoftles, and 
 fome Prophets, and fome Evangel - 
 ifts, and fome Paftors and Teach- 
 ers; for the perfecting of the Saints, 
 for the work of the Miniftry, for 
 the edifying of the Body of Chrift ; 
 till we all come in the unity of the 
 faith, and of the knowledge of the 
 Son of God, unto a perfect man, 
 unto the meafure of the ftatiu'e of 
 the fulnefs of Chrift. 
 
 % After this shall he read for the Gospel part of the 
 ninth Chapter of Saint Matthew, asfolloueth. 
 
 St. Matth. ix. 36. 
 
 WIH^N Jefus faw the multi- 
 tudes, he was moved with 
 companion on them, becaufe tliey 
 fainted, and were fcattered abroad 
 as Iheep having no lh(;pherd. Then 
 faith he unto his difciples, Fhe 
 hai-vcft tnily is plenteous, but the 
 
 labourers are few. Pray ye there- 
 fore the Lord of the harveft, that 
 he will fend forth labourers into 
 his harveft. 
 
 ^ Or else this thatfolloxceth, out of the tenth Chapter 
 of Saint John. 
 
 St. John X. 1. 
 "¥^ERILY, verily I fay unto you, 
 ▼ He that entereth not by the 
 door into the flieep-fold, but climb- 
 eth up fome other way, the fame 
 is a thief and a robber. But he 
 that entereth in by the door is the 
 Shepherd of the Iheep. To him 
 the porter openeth, and the flieep 
 hear his voice ; and he calleth his 
 own fheep by name, and leadeth 
 them out. And when he putteth 
 forth his own flieep he goetli be- 
 fore them, and the flieep follow 
 him ; for they know his voice. And 
 a ftranger will they not follow, 
 but will flee from him ; for they 
 know not the voice of ftranoers. 
 This parable fpake Jefus unto 
 them, but they underftood not 
 what things they were Avhich he 
 fpake unto them. Then faid Jefus 
 unto them again, Verily, verily I 
 fay unto you, I am the door of the 
 flieep. AH that ever came before 
 me are thieves and robbers ; but 
 the flieep did not heai* them. I am 
 the door ; by me if any man enter 
 in, he fliall be faved, and fliall go 
 in and out, and find paflure. J'he 
 thief Cometh not but for to fteal, 
 and to kill, and to deftroy : I am
 
 come that they might have life, 
 and that they might have it more 
 abimdaiitly. I am the good Shep- 
 herd : the good Shej)herd giveth 
 his life for the flieep. But he that 
 is an hireling, and not the Shep- 
 lierd, whofe own the flieep are not, 
 feeth the wolf coming, and leaveth 
 the flieep, and fleeth ; and the wolf 
 catcheth them, and fcattereth the 
 flieep. The hireling fleeth, becaufe 
 he is an hireling, and careth not 
 for the flieep. I am the good 
 Shepherd, and know my Iheep, and 
 am known of mine. As the Father 
 knoweth me, even fo know I the 
 Father; and I lay down my life 
 for the flieep. And other flieep I 
 have, which are not of this fold : 
 them alfo I niufl; bring, and they 
 fliall hear my voice ; and there fliall 
 be one fold, and one Shepherd. 
 
 1[ Then the Bishop, sitting in his chair, shall minister 
 unto every one of them the Oath concerning the 
 King's Supremacy, as it is before set forth in the 
 Form for the Ordering of Deacons. 
 
 ^ And that done, he shall say unto them as hereafter 
 followeth. 
 
 YOU have heard, Brethren, as 
 well in your private examina- 
 tion, as in the exhortation which 
 was now made to you, and in the 
 holy Leflbns taken out of the Gof- 
 pel, and the writings of the Apo- 
 ft;les, of what dignity, and of how 
 great importance this Office is, 
 whereunto ye are called. And 
 now again we exhort you, in the 
 Name of our Lord Jefus Chrift, 
 
 The Ordering of Priefts. 
 
 that you have 
 
 into how hioh 
 
 f5 
 
 in remembrance, 
 a Dignity, and to 
 how weighty an Office and Charge 
 ye are called : that is to fay, to be 
 Meffengers, Watchmen, and Stew- 
 ards of the Lord ; to teach, and 
 to premonifli, to feed and provide 
 for the Lord's family ; to leek for 
 Chrift's flieep that are difperfed 
 abroad, and for his children who 
 are in the midft of this naughty 
 ^vorld, that they may be faved 
 through Chrifl; for ever. 
 
 Have always therefore printed 
 in your remembrance, how great 
 a treafure is committed to your 
 charge. For they are the flieep 
 of Chrift, which he bought with 
 his death, and for whom he flied 
 his blood. The Church and Con- 
 gregation whom you muft ferve, is 
 his Spoufe, and his Body. And 
 if it fliall happen the fame Church, 
 or any Member thereof, to take 
 any hurt or hindrance by reafon 
 of your negligence, ye know the 
 greatnefs of the fault, and alfo the 
 horrible punifliment that will enfue. 
 Wherefore coiilider with yourfelves 
 the end of your Miniftry towards 
 the children of God, towards the 
 Spoufe and Body of Chrift ; and 
 fee that you never ceafe your la- 
 bour, your care and diligence, until 
 you have done all that lieth in you, 
 according to your bounden duty, 
 to bring all fuch as are or fliall be 
 
 committed 
 
 to your 
 3C2 
 
 charj 
 
 ge, 
 
 unto
 
 The Ordering of Priejts. 
 
 that agreement in the faith and 
 knowledge of God, and to that 
 lipenefs and perfe^tnefs of age in 
 Chrift, tliat there be no place 
 left among you, either for error 
 in religion, or for vicioufnefs in 
 life. 
 
 Forafmuch then as your Office 
 is both of fo great excellency, and 
 of fo great difficulty, ye fee Avith 
 how great care and lludy ye ought 
 to apply yourfelves, as well that ye 
 may Ihew yourfelves dutiful and 
 thankfid unto that Lord, who hath 
 placed you in fo high a Dignity ; 
 as alfo to beware, that neither you 
 yourfelves offend, nor be occalion 
 that others offend. Howbeit, ye 
 cannot have a mind and will there- 
 to of yourfelves ; for that will and 
 ability is given of God alone : there- 
 fore ye ought, and have need, to 
 pray earnellly for his holy Spirit. 
 And feeing that you cannot by any 
 other means compafs the doing of 
 fo weighty a work, pertaining to 
 the falvation of man, but with doc- 
 trine and exhortation taken out of 
 the holy Scriptures, and with a life 
 agreeable to the fame ; confider 
 how ftudious ye ought to be in 
 reading and learning the Scrip- 
 tures, and in framing the manners 
 both of yourfelves, and of them 
 that fpecially pertain unto you, 
 according to the rule of the fame 
 Scri])tures : and for this felf-fame 
 caufe, how ye ought to forfake and 
 
 fet afide (as much as you may) all 
 worldly cares and ftudies. 
 
 We have good hope that you 
 have well weighed and pondered 
 thefe things with yourfelves long 
 before this time ; and that you have 
 clearly determined, by God's grace, 
 to give yourfelves wholly to this 
 Office, whereunto it hath [)leafed 
 God to call you : fo that, as much 
 as lieth in you, you will apply your- 
 felves wholly to this one thing, 
 and draw all your cares and ftu- 
 dies this way; and that you will 
 continually pray to God the Fa- 
 ther, by the Mediation of our only 
 Saviour Jefus Chrift, for the hea- 
 venly affiftance of the Holy Ghoft; 
 that, by daily reading and weighing 
 of the Scriptures, ye may wax riper 
 and ftronger in your Miniftry ; and 
 that ye may fo endeavour your- 
 felves, from time to time, to fanc- 
 tify the lives of you and yours, and 
 to falhion them after the Rule and 
 Doctrine of Chrift, that ye may be 
 wholefome and godly examples and 
 patterns for the people to follow. 
 
 And now, that this prefent Con- 
 gregation of Chrift here aflembled 
 alfo underftand your minds 
 thefe things, and that 
 this your promife may the more 
 move you to do your duties, ye 
 ftiall anfwer plainly to thefe things, 
 which we, in the Name of God, 
 and of his Church, fliall demand 
 of you touchhig the fame.

 THIS is a true faying, If a man 
 defire the Oflice of a Bifliop, 
 he defireth a good work. A Bi- 
 fliop then muil be blamelefs, the 
 hulband of one wife, vigilant, fo- 
 ber, of good behaviour, given to 
 hofpitality, apt to teach ; not given 
 to wine, no ftriker, not greedy of 
 filthy lucre, but patient, not a 
 brawler, not covetous ; one that 
 ruleth well his own houfe, having 
 
 his children in fubjedlion with all 
 gravity ; (For if a man know not 
 how to rule his own houfe, how 
 ihall he take care of the Church of 
 God?) Not a novice, left being 
 lifted up with pride he fall into the

 FROM Miletus Paul fent to 
 Ephefus, and called the elders 
 of the Church. And when they 
 were come to him, he faid unto 
 them, Ye know, from the fii-ft day 
 that I came into Alia, after what 
 manner I have been with you at 
 all feafons, ferving the Lord with 
 all humility of mind, and W\t\\ ma- 
 ny tears and temptations which 
 befel me by the lying in wait of 
 the Jews : and how I kept back 
 nothing that was profitable unto 
 you, but have fliewed you, and 
 have taught you publickly, and 
 from houfe to houfe, teftiiying both 
 to the Jews, and alfo to the Greeks, 
 repentance toward God, and faith 
 toward our Lord Jefus Chrift. And
 
 The Confecration of BiJIiops. 
 
 now behold, I go hound in the 
 fpirit unto Jerul'aleni, not know- 
 inff the thing's that lliall befal me 
 there ; fave that the Holy Gholl 
 witnefleth in every city, faying, 
 That bonds and affli6tions abide 
 me. But none of thefe things move 
 me, neither count I my life dear 
 unto myfelf, fo that I might finirti 
 my courfe with joy, and the mi- 
 nillry which I have received of the 
 Lord Jefus, to teftify the Gofpel 
 of the erace of God. And now 
 
 c5 
 
 behold, I know that ye all, among 
 whom I have gone preaching the 
 kingdom of God, Ihall fee my face 
 no more. Wherefore I take you 
 to record this day, that I am pure 
 from the blood of all men. For I 
 have not ftiunned to declare unto 
 you all the counfel of God. Take 
 heed therefore unto yourfelves, and 
 to all the flock over the which the 
 Holy Ghoft hath made you Over- 
 feers, to feed the Church of God, 
 which he hath purchafed with his 
 own blood. For I know this, that 
 after my departing fliall grievous 
 wolves enter in among you, not 
 fparing the flock. Alfo of your 
 own felves fliall men arife fpeak- 
 ing perverfe things, to draw away 
 difciples after them. Therefore 
 watch, and remember, that by the 
 fpace of three years, I ceafed not 
 to warn eveiy one night and day 
 with tears. And now, brethren, I 
 commend you to God, and to the 
 
 word of his grace, which is able to 
 build you up, and to give you an 
 inheritance among all them which 
 are fanctified. 1 have coveted no 
 man's iilver, or gold, or apparel ; 
 yea, ye yourfelves know, that thefe 
 hands have miniftered unto my 
 neceflities, and to them that were 
 with me. I have Ihewed you all 
 things, how that fo labouring ye 
 ought to fupport the weak ; and to 
 remember the words of the Lord 
 Jefus, how he faid, It is more 
 blefled to give than to receive.

 BRETHREN, it is written in 
 the Gofpel of Saint Luke, That 
 our Saviour Chrifi; continued the 
 whole night in prayer, before he 
 did choofe and fend forth his twelve 
 Apollles. It is written alfo in the 
 A6ls of the Apollles, That the 
 Difciples who were at Antioch did 
 fail and pray, before they laid hands 
 on Paul and Barnabas, and fent 
 them forth. Let us therefore, fol- 
 lowing the example of our Saviour 
 Chriil, and his Apollles, firll fall

 ALMIGHTY God, and moft

 Chrift, to be our Redeemer, and 
 the Author of everlafting life; who, 
 after that he had made perfect our 
 Redemption by his death, and was 
 afcended into heaven, poured down 
 his gifts abundantly upon men, 
 making fonie Apoftles, Ibme Pro- 
 phets, fome Evangelifts, fome Paf-

 Grant, we befeech thee, to this 
 thy fervant fuch grace, that he 
 may evermore be ready to fpread 
 abroad thy Gofpel, the glad tidings 
 of reconciliation with thee; and ufe 
 the authority given him, not to 
 deftru6lion, but to falvation ; not 
 to hurt, but to help : fo that as a

 f Thfn the Archbishop shall dtUver him the Bible, 
 saj/iiig, 
 
 GIVE heed unto reading, ex- 
 hortation, and doctrine. Think 
 upon the things contained in this 
 Book. Be dihgent in them, that 
 the increafe coming thereby may 
 be raanifeft unto all men. Take 
 heed unto thyfelf, and to do6lrine, 
 and be diligent m doing them : 
 for by fo doing thou fbalt both 
 fave thyfelf and them that hear 
 thee. Be to the flock of Chrift a 
 ihepherd, not a wolf; feed them, 
 devour them not. Hold up the 
 weak, heal the fick, bind up the 
 broken, bring again the out-calls, 
 feek the loll. Be fo merciful, that 
 you be not too remifs ; fo minifter

 our iniquities ; nor given us over, 
 as we dei'erved, to be a prey to 
 our enemies ; but hail in mercy 
 delivered us from their malice, and

 ceive to themfelves damnation. For 
 rulers are not a terror to good

 flialt have ])raife of the fame : for he

 fubjecft, not only for wrath, but 
 alfo for confcience fake. For for 
 this caufe pay ye tribute alfo ; for 
 they are God's minillers, attending

 THERE was a certain houfe- 
 holder which ])lanted a vine- 
 yard, and hedged it round about, 
 and digged a wine-prefs in it, and 
 built a tower, and let it out to 
 huibandmen, and went into a far

 the lii*ft : and they did tmto them 
 likewife. But lait of all he fent

 laid among themfelves. This is the

 us feize on his inheritance. And 
 they caught him, and call him out 
 of the vineyard, and flew him. 
 When the lord therefore of the

 ALMIGHTY God and heavenly

 and unfpeakable goodnefs towards 
 us, didft in a moll extraordinary 
 and wonderful manner difappoint 
 and overthrow the wicked defigns 
 of thofe traiterous, heady, and high- 
 minded men, who, under the pre- 
 tence of Religion and thy moll ho- 
 ly Name, had contrived, and well- 
 nigh eflfedted the utter dellru6lion 
 of this Chm'ch and Kingdom : As 
 we do this day mofl heartily and 
 devoutly adore and magnify thy 
 glorious Name for this thine in- 
 finite goodnefs already vouchfafed 
 to us ; fo do we moll humbly be- 
 
 feech thee to continue thy grace 
 and favour towards us, that no fuch 
 difmal calamity may ever again fall 
 upon us. Lifatuate and defeat all 
 the fecret counfels of deceitful and 
 wicked men againll us: Abate their 
 pride, affwage their mahce, and 
 confound their devices. Strength- 
 en the hands of our gracious So- 
 vereign King GEORGE, and all 
 that are put in authority under him, 
 with judgement and juftice to cut 
 off all fuch workers of iniquity, as 
 turn Religion into Rebellion, and 
 Faith into Faction ; that they may 
 never again prevail againll us, nor 
 triumph in the ruin of the Mo- 
 narchy and thy Church among us. 
 Protedl and defend our Sovereign 
 Lord the King, with the whole 
 Royal Family, from all Treafons 
 and Confpiracies. Be unto him an 
 helmet of falvation, and a llrong 
 tower of defence againll the face 
 of all his enemies ; clothe them

 ARTICLES 
 
 Agreed upon by the Archbishops and Bishops of both Proyinces, and the 
 whole Clergy, in the Convocation holden at London in the Year 1562, for 
 the avoiding of Diversities of Opinions, and for the establishing of Consent 
 touching true Religion : Reprinted by His Majesty's Commandment, with 
 his Royal Declaration prefixed thereunto. 
 
 HIS MAJESTY'S DECLARATION. 
 
 TiEING by God't; Ordinance, according to Our just 'rule, Defender of the Faith, and Supreme Governour 
 of the Cliurch, witl^in these our Dominions, We hold it most agreeable to th'ts our Kingly Officey and, 
 our own religious Zeal, to consei've and maititain the Church committed to Our Cliarge, in Unity of true Re- 
 ligion, and in the Bond of Peace; and not to suffer unnecessary Disputations, Altercations, or Qucsti^ms to be 
 raised, which may nourish Faction both in the Church and Commonwealth. We have therefore, upon mature 
 Deliberation, and, with the advice of so many of our Bishops as might conveniently be called together, thought 
 fit to make this Declaration following : 
 
 That tJie Articles of the Church f»/' England (tvhicli have been allowed and authorized heretofore, and which 
 Our Clergy generally have subscribed 7inlo) do contain the true Doctrine of the Church of England agreeable 
 to God's Word: which We do therefore ratify and confirm, requiring all our loving Subjects to continue in thfi 
 uniform Profession thereof, and prohibiting the least difference from the, said Articles; which to tltut end Wjt 
 command to be new printed, and thi^ Our Declaration to be published therewith. 
 
 Tliat We are Supreme Governour of the Church of England : And that if any difference arise about the 
 external Policy, concerning the Injunctions, Canons, and other Constitutions whatsoever thereto belonging, 
 the Clergy in their Convocation is to order and settle them, having first obtained leave under Our Broad Seal so 
 to do : and We approving their said Ordiiiances and Constitutions ; providing that none be made contrary to 
 tlie Laws and Customs of the Land. 
 
 Tliat out of Our Princely Care that the Churchmen may do the Work which is proper unto them, the Bishops 
 and Clergy, from time to time in Convocation, upon their humble Desire, shall have Licence under Our Broad 
 Seal to deliberate of, and to do all such Tilings, as, being made plain by them, and assented unto by Us, shall 
 concern the settled Continuance of the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England now established ; 
 from which We will not endure any varying or departing in the least Degree. 
 
 That for the present, thottgh some differences have been ill raised, yet we take comfort in this, that all 
 Clergymen within Our Realm have always most willingly subscribed to the Articles establistied; which is an ar- 
 gument to Us, that they all agree in the true, usual, literal meaning of the said Articles; and that even in those 
 curious points, in which the present differences lie, men of all sorts take the Articles of the Church of England 
 to be for them; which is an argument again, that none of them intend any desertion oj the Articles established. 
 
 That therefore in these both curious and unhappy differences, which have for so many hundred years, in dif- 
 ferent times and places, exercised the Church of Christ, We will, that all further curious search be laid aside, 
 and tliese disputes shut up in God's promises, as they be generally set forth to vs in the holy Scrijttures, and the 
 general meaning of the Articles of the Church of England according to them. And that no man hereafter shall 
 either print, or preach, to draw the Article aside any way, but shall submit to it in the plain and full meaning 
 thereof: and .^hall not put his own sense or comment to be the meaning of the Article, but shall take it in the 
 literal and grammatical sense. 
 
 That if any publick Reader in either of Our Universities, or any Head or Master of a College, or any other 
 person respectively in either of them, shall affix any new sense to any Article, or shall publickly read, determine, 
 or hold any publick Disputation, or suffer any such to be held either icay, in either the Universities or Colleges 
 respectively; or if any Divine in the Universities shall preach or print any thing either way, other than is 
 already established in Convocation with our Royal Assent; he, or they the Offenders, shall be liable to Our 
 Displeasure, and the Church's censure in Our Commission Ecclesiastical, as ivell as any other: And We will 
 see there shall be due Execution upon them, 
 
 3H
 
 Articles of 
 
 •■ ■ 1. Of Faith in the Holy Trinity. 
 
 ni^HERE is but one living and true God, ever- 
 ■*- lasting, without body, parts, or passions; of 
 infinite power, wisdom, and goodness ; the Maker, 
 and Preserver of all things both visible and invisi- 
 ble. And in unity of this Godhead there be three 
 Persons, of one substance, power, and eternity ; 
 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 
 
 II. Of the TVord or Son of God, zihich was made 
 very Man. 
 
 'T^ H E Son, which is the Word of the Father, 
 ■^ begotten from everlasting of the Father, the 
 very and eternal God, and of one substance with 
 the Father, took Man's nature in the womb of the 
 blessed Virgin, of her substance : so tiiat two whole 
 and perfect Natures, that is to say, the Godhead 
 and Manhood, were joined together in one Person, 
 never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very 
 God, and very Man ; who truly suffered, was cruci- 
 fied, dead and buried, to reconcile his Father to us, 
 and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, 
 but also for actual sins of men. 
 
 ■v!< ■ III. Of the going dozen of Christ into Hell. 
 
 A ^ Christ died for us, and was buried, so also is 
 -^^ it to be believed, that he w ent down into Hell. 
 
 IV. Of the Resurrection of Christ. 
 
 /CHRIST did truly rise again from death, and 
 ^^took again his body, with flesh, bones, and all 
 things appertaining to the perfection of Man's na- 
 ture; wherewith he ascended into Heaven, and 
 there sitteth, until he return to judge all Men at 
 the last day. 
 
 V. Of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 nnilE Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father 
 -*- and the Son, is of one substance, majesty, and 
 glory, with the Father and the Son, very and eter- 
 nal God. 
 
 VI. Of the Siijjiciency of the holy Scriptures for 
 salvation. 
 
 XTOLY Scripture containeth all things necessary 
 -^ to salvation : so that whatsoever is not read 
 therein, nor may be proved tiiereby, is not to be 
 required of any man, that it should be believed as 
 an Article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or 
 necessary to salvation. In the name of the holy 
 Scripture we do understand those canonical Books 
 of the Old and New 'I'cslanient, of whose authority 
 was never any doubt in the Church.

 VII. Of the Old Testament. 
 
 T^HE Old Testament is not contrary to the New: 
 -^ for both in the Old and New Testament ever- 
 lasting life is oflered to Mankind by Christ, who is 
 the only Mediator between God and Man, being 
 both God and Man. VVherclbre they are not to 
 be heard, which feign that the Old Fathers did look 
 only for transitory promises. Although the Law 
 given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies 
 and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the Civil 
 precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received 
 in any common-wealth; yet notwithstanding, no 
 Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience 
 of the Commandments which are called Moral. 
 
 VIII. Of the Three Creeds. 
 
 ^^ 1 1 1'^ Three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Atha?iasius's 
 ■*- Creed, and that which is commonly called the 
 Aposllcs Creed, ought thoroughly to be received 
 and believed : for they may be proved by most 
 certain warrants of holy Scripture.
 
 Articles of Iteligion 
 
 IX. ()/' Original or Birlk-sin. 
 
 ^^RIGINAL Sin stantleth not in the following 
 ^■^ of Adam, (as the Pe/agians do vainly talk;) 
 but it is the fault and conuption of the nature of 
 every man, that naturally is ingendered of the off- 
 spring of Adam ; whereby man is very far gone 
 from original righteousness, and is of liis own nature 
 inclined to evil, so that the flesh lustelh always 
 contrary to the spirit; and therefore in every person 
 born into this world, it dcsrrvetii God's wrath and 
 damnation. And this infection of naturb doth re- 
 main, yea in them that are regenerated ; whereby 
 the lust of the flesh, called in the Greek, $fovnjiAai 
 (fOL^ws, which some do expound the wisdom, some 
 sensuality, some the affection, some the desire, of 
 the flesh, is not subject to the Law of God. And 
 although there is no condemnation for them that 
 believe and are baptized, yet the Apostle doth con- 
 fess, that concupiscence and lust hath of itself the 
 nature of sin. 
 
 X. Of Free-Will: 
 
 ^1 ^HE condition of Man after the fall of Adam 
 is such, that he cannot turn and piepare him- 
 self, by his own natural strength and good works, to 
 faith, and calling upon God: Wherefore we have 
 no power to^do good works pleasant and acceptable 
 to God, without the grace of God by Christ pre- 
 venting us, that we may have a good will, and 
 working with us, when we have that good will. 
 
 XI. Of the Justification of Man. 
 
 "VM/^E are accounted righteous before God, only 
 ' for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus 
 Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or de- 
 servings : Wherefore, that we are justified by Faith 
 only is a most wholesome Doctrine, and very full of 
 comfort, as more largely is expressed in the Homily 
 of Justification. 
 
 XII. Of Good Works. 
 
 A LBEIT that Good Works, which are the fruits 
 '^^*- of Faith, and follow after Justification, cannot 
 put away our sins, and endure the severity of God's 
 Judgement; yet are they pleasing and acceptable 
 to God in Christ, and do spring out necessarily of a 
 true and lively Faith; insomuch that by them a 
 lively Faith may be as evidently known as a tree 
 discerned by the fruit. 
 
 XIII. Of Works before Justification. 
 
 "V^T^ORKS done before the grace of Christ, and 
 
 the Inspiration of his Spirit, are not pleasant 
 
 to God, forasmuch as they spring not of faith in 
 
 Jesus Christ, neither do they make meii meet to 
 receive grace, or (as the School-authors say) deserve 
 grace of congruity : ya. rather, for that they are 
 not done as God hath willed and commanded them 
 to be done, we doubt not but they have the nature 
 of sin. 
 
 XIV. Of Works of Supererogation. 
 
 ^OLUNTARY Works besides, over and above, 
 God's Connnandrnenls, which they call Works 
 of Supererogation, cannot be taught without arro- 
 gancy and impiety: for by them men do declare, 
 that they do not only render unto God as much as 
 they are bound to do, but that they do more for his 
 sake, than of bounden duty is required : whereas 
 Christ saith plainly. When ye have done all that 
 are commanded to you, say, We are unprofitable 
 servants. 
 
 XV. Of Christ alone without Sin. 
 
 /^HRIST in the truth of our nature was made 
 ^^ like unto us in all things, sin only except, from 
 which he was clearly void, both in his flesh, and in 
 his spirit. He came to be the Lamb without spot, 
 who, by sacrifice of himself once made, should take 
 away the sins of the woild, and sin, as Saint John 
 saith, was not in him. But ail we the rest, although 
 baptized, and born again in Christ, yet oflfend in 
 many things; and if we say we have no sin, we de- 
 ceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 
 
 XVI. Of Sin after Baptism. 
 
 I^TOT every deadly sin willingly committed after 
 Baptism is sin against the Holy Ghost, and 
 unpardonable. Wherefore the grant of repentance 
 is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after 
 Baptism. After we have received the Holy Ghost, 
 we may depart from grace given, and fall into sin, 
 and by the grace of God we may arise again, and 
 amend our lives. And therefore they are to be 
 condemned, which say, the}' can no more sin as 
 long as they live here, or deny the place of forgive- 
 ness to such as truly repent. 
 
 XVII. Of Predestination and Election. 
 
 T>REDESTINATION to Life is the everlasting 
 purpose of God, whereby (before the founda- 
 tions of the world were laid) he hath constantly de- 
 creed by his counsel secret to us, to deliver from^ 
 curse and damnation those whom he hath chosen 
 in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by 
 Christ to everlasting "salvation, as vessels made to 
 honour. Wherefore, they which be endued with 
 so excellent a benefit of God be called accordir|f' 
 3H2
 
 Articles of Religion. 
 
 to God's purpose by his Spirit working in due sea- 
 son : rhey through Grace obey the calling : they be 
 justified freely: they be made sons of God by adop- 
 tion : they be made like the image of his only- 
 begotten Son Jesus Christ: they walk religiously 
 in good works, and at length, by God's mercy, they 
 attain to everlasting felicity. 
 
 As the godly consideration of Predestination, and 
 our Election in Christ, is full of sweet, pleasant, 
 and uii-peakable comfort to godly persons, and such 
 as feel in themselves the working of the Spirit of 
 Christ, mortifying the works of the flesh, and their 
 earthly members, and drawing up their mind to 
 high and heavenly things, as well because it doth 
 greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal 
 Salvation to be enjoyed through Christ, as because 
 it doth fervently kindle their love towards God: So, 
 for curious and carnal persons, lacking the Spirit 
 of Christ, to have continually before their eyes the 
 sentence of God's Predestination, is a most danger- 
 ous downfal, whereby the Devil doth thrust them ei- 
 ther into desperation, or into wretchlessness of most 
 unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. 
 
 Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in 
 Such wise, as they be generally set forth to us in 
 holy Scripture: and, in our doings, that will of God 
 is to be followed, which we have expressly declared 
 onto us in the Word of God. 
 
 XVIII. Of obtaining eternal Salvation only bj/ the 
 Name of Christ. 
 
 T^HEY also are to be had accursed that presume 
 to say. That every man shall be saved by the 
 Law or Sect which he professeth, so that he be 
 diligent to frame his life according to that Law, 
 and the light of Nature. For holy Scripture doth 
 set out unto us only the Name of Jesus Christ, 
 whereby men must be saved. 
 
 XIX. Of the Church. 
 
 nr^HE visible Church of Christ is a Congregation 
 -^ of faithful men, in the which the pure Word 
 of God is preached, and the Sacraments be duly 
 ministered according to Christ's ordinance in all 
 those things that of necessity are requisite to the 
 same. 
 
 As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and 
 Aniioch, have erred; so also the Church of Rome 
 hath erred, not only in their living and manner of 
 Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith. 
 
 XX. Of the. Authority of the Church. 
 
 nr^HE Church hath power to decree Rites or 
 
 • Ceremonies, and authority in Controversies of 
 
 Faith : And yet it is Hot lawful for the Church lu 
 
 ordain any thing that is contrary to God's Word 
 written, neither may it so expound one place of 
 Scripture, that it be repugnant to another. Where- 
 fore, although the Church be a witness and a keeper 
 of holy Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree any 
 thing against the same, so besides the same ought 
 it not to enforce any thing to be believed for neces- 
 sity of Salvation. 
 
 XXI. Of the Authority of General Councils. 
 
 M^^ ENERAL Councils may not be gathered toge- 
 ^-^ ther without the commandment and will of 
 Princes. And when they be gathered together, 
 (forasmuch as thfey be an assembly of men, whereof 
 all be not governed with the Spirit and Word of 
 God,) they may err^ and sometimes have erred, 
 even in things pertaining unto God. W^herefore 
 things ordained b}' them as necessary to salvation 
 have neither strength nor authority, unless it may 
 be declared that they be taken out of holy Scrip- 
 ture. 
 
 XXII. Of Purgatory. 
 
 nr^HE Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, 
 -^ Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well 
 of Images as of Reliques, and also invocation of 
 Saints, is a fond thing vainly invented, and ground- 
 ed upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather re- 
 pugnant to the Word of God. 
 
 XXIII. Of Ministering in the Congregation. 
 
 XT is not lawful for any man to take upon him 
 -"- the office of publick preaching, or ministering 
 the Sacraments in the Congregation, before he be 
 lawfully called, and sent to execute the same. And 
 those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent, 
 which be chosen and called to this work by men 
 who have publick authority given unto them in the 
 Congregation, to call and send Ministers into the 
 Lord's vineyard. 
 
 XXIV. Of speaking in the Congregation in such a 
 tongue as the people underslandeth. 
 
 TT is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of 
 -*- God, and the custom of the Primitive Church, 
 to have publick Prayer in the Church, or to mini- 
 ster the Sacraments in a tongue not understanded 
 of the people. 
 
 XXV. Of the Sacraments. 
 
 t^ACRATVIENTS ordained of Christ be not only 
 ^^ i)adges or tokens of Christian men's profession, 
 but rather they be certain surtv witnesses, and etlic- 
 lual signs of grac«, antl 'God's 'giJod will toworfls
 
 Articles of Religion. 
 
 us, by the which he dotli work invisibly in us, .-inil 
 doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and 
 confirm our Faith in him. 
 
 There are two Sacraments ordained of Christ our 
 Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the 
 Supper ot" the Lord. 
 
 Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is 
 to say. Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony, 
 and extreme Unction, are not to be counted for 
 Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown 
 partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, 
 partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures ; 
 but yet have not like nature of Sacraments with 
 B^iptism, and the Lord's Supper, for that they have 
 not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God. 
 
 The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to 
 be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we 
 should duly use them. And in such only as worthily 
 I'eceive the same they have a wholesome effect or 
 operation: but they that receive them unworthily 
 purchase to themselves damnation, as Saint Faul 
 saith. 
 
 XXVL Of the Unworthiness of the Ministers, which 
 hinders not the effect of the Sacrament. 
 
 A LTHOUGH in the visible Church the evil be 
 -^^ ever mingled with the good, and sometimes 
 the evil have chief authority in the Ministration of 
 the Word and Sacraments, yet forasmuch as they 
 do not the same in their own name, but in Christ's, 
 and do minister by his commission and authority, 
 we may use their Ministry, both in hearing the 
 Word of God, and in receiving of the Sacraments. 
 Neither is the effect of Christ's ordinance taken 
 away b^' their wickedness, nor the grace of God's 
 gifts diminished from such as by faith and rightly 
 do receive the Sacraments ministered unto them ; 
 which be efl'ectual, because of Christ's institution 
 and promise, although they be ministered by evil 
 men. 
 
 Nevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of 
 the Church, that enquiry be made of evil Ministers, 
 and that they be accused by those that have know- 
 ledge of their offences ; and finally being found 
 guilty, by just judgement be deposed. 
 
 XXVIL Of Baptism. 
 
 TD APTISM is not only a sign of profession, and 
 '^'^ mark of difference, whereby Christian men are 
 discerned from others that be not christened, but it 
 is also a sign of Regeneration or new Birth, where- 
 by, as by an instrument, they that receive Baptism 
 rightly are grafted into the Church ; the promises 
 of forgiveness of sin, and of our adoption to be the 
 
 sons of God by the Holy Ghost, are visibly signed 
 and sealed; Faith is confirmed, and Grace increased 
 by virtue of prayer unto God. Tlie Baptism of 
 young Cliildreu is in any wise to be retained in tlie 
 Church, as most agreeable with the institution of 
 Christ. 
 
 XXVIIL Of th£ Lord's Supper. 
 
 T^HE Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of 
 the love that Christians ought to have among 
 themselves one to another ; but rather is a Sacra- 
 ment of our Redemption by Christ's death : inso- 
 much that to such as rightly, worthily, and with 
 faith, receive the same, the Bread which we break 
 is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise 
 the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of 
 Christ. 
 
 Transubstantiation (or the change of the sub- 
 stance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of the 
 Lord, cannot be proved by holy Writ ; but is repug- 
 nant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth 
 the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion 
 to many superstitions. 
 
 The bod}' of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in 
 the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual 
 manner. And the mean whereby the Body of 
 Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is Faith. 
 
 The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by 
 Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, 
 or worshipped. 
 
 XXIX. Of the wicked rchich eat not the Body ef 
 Christ in the use of the Lord's Supper. 
 
 ''■"'HE Wicked, and such as be void of a liveJy 
 faith, although they do carnally and visibly 
 press with their teeth (as Saint Augustine saith) the 
 Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, yet in 
 no wise are they partakers of Christ : but rather, to 
 their condemnation, do eat and drink the sign or 
 Sacrament of so great a thing. 
 
 XXX. Of both kinds. 
 
 nr^HE Cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the 
 ^ Lay-people : fbr both the parts of the Lord's 
 Sacrament, by Christ's ordinance and commandment^ 
 ought to be ministered to all Christian men alike. 
 
 XXX L Of the one Oblation of Christ finished upon 
 the Cross. 
 
 T^HE Offering of Christ once made is that perfect 
 
 '*- redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction, for 
 
 all the sins of the whole world, both original and
 
 Articles of Religioti. 
 
 actual ; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, 
 but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, 
 in the which it was commonly said, that the Priest 
 did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have 
 remission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous fables, 
 and dangerous deceits. 
 
 XXXII. Of the Marriage of Priests. 
 
 TDISHOPS, Priests, and Deacons, are not com- 
 -*-^ manded by God's Law, either to vow the estate 
 of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore 
 it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, 
 to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge 
 the same to serve better to godliness. 
 
 XXXIII. Of excommunicate Persons, how they are 
 to be avoided. 
 
 ^THHAT person which by open denunciation of 
 ■*• the Church is rightly cut off from the unity of 
 the Church, and excommunicated, ought to be 
 taken of the whole multitude of the faithful, as an 
 Heathen and Publican, until he be openly reconcil- 
 ed by penance, and received into the Church by a 
 Judge that hath authority thereunto. 
 
 XXXIV. Of the Traditions of the Church. 
 
 TT is not necessary that Traditions and Ceremonies 
 be in all places one, and utterly like; for at all 
 times they have been divers, and may be changed 
 according to the diversities of countries, times, and 
 men's manners, so that nothing be ordained against 
 God's Word. Whosoever through his private 
 judgement, willingly and purposely, doth openly 
 break the traditions and ceremonies of the Church, 
 ■which be not repugnant to the Word of God, and 
 be ordained and approved by common authority, 
 ought to be rebuked openly, (that othei's may fear 
 to do the like,) as he that offendeth against the 
 common order of the Church, and hurteth the au- 
 thority of the Magistrate, and woundeth the consci- 
 ences of the weak brethren. 
 
 Every particular or national Church hath autho- 
 rity to ordain, change, and abolish, ceremonies or 
 rites of the Church ordained only by man's autho- 
 rity, so that all things be done to edifying. 
 
 XXXV. Of the Homilies. 
 
 ^T^HE second Book of Homilies, the several titles 
 whereof we have joined under this Article, doth 
 contain a godly and wholesome Doctrine, and ne- 
 cessary for these times, as doth the former Book of 
 Homilies, which were set forth in the time of Edward 
 the Sixth; and therefore we judge them to be read 
 in Churcijes by the Ministers, diligently and dis- 
 
 tinctly, that they may be understanded of the peo- 
 ple.

 Of the right Use of the Church.

 XXXVI. Of Consecration of Bishops and Ministers. 
 
 'T^HE Book of Consecration of Archbishops and 
 Bishops, and Ordering of Priests and Deacons, 
 lately set forth in the time of Edward the Sixth, 
 and confirmed at the same time by authority of 
 Parliament, doth contain all things necessary to 
 such Consecration and Ordering : neither hath it 
 any thing, that of itself is superstitious and ungodly. 
 And therefore whosoever are consecrated or ordered 
 according to the Rites of that Book, since the se- 
 cond year of the forenamed King Edifard unto this 
 time, or hereafter shall be consecrated or ordered 
 according to the same Rites; we decree all such to 
 be rightly, orderly, and lawfully consecrated and 
 ordered. 
 
 XXXVII. Of the Civil Magistrates. 
 
 T^HE King's Majesty hath the chief power in 
 -^ this Realm of England, and other his Domini- 
 ons, unto whom the chief Government of all Estates 
 of this Realm, whether thoy be Ecclesiastical or 
 Civil, in all causes doth ap|>ertain, and is not, nor 
 ought to be, subject to any foreign Jurisdiction. 
 
 Where we attribute to the King's Majesty the 
 chief government, by which Titles we understand 
 the minds of some slanderous folks to be offended ;
 
 Articles of lleligion. 
 
 We give not to our Princes the ministering either of 
 God's Word, or of tiie Sacninients, the wliicli thing 
 tlie Injunctions also lately set forth by Elizabeth 
 our Queen do most plainly testily ; but tliat only 
 prerogative, which we see to have been given al- 
 ways to all godly Princes in holy Scriptures by God 
 himself; that is, that they should rule all states 
 and degrees committed to their charge by God, 
 whether they be Ecclesiastical or Temporal, and 
 restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil- 
 doers. 
 
 The Bishop of Rome hatli no jurisdiction in this 
 Realm oi England. 
 
 The Laws of the Realm may punish Christian 
 men with death, for heinous and grievous oflences. 
 
 It is lawful for Christian men, at the command- 
 ment of the Magistrate, to wear weapons, and serve 
 in the wars. 
 
 XXXVIII. Of Christian men's Goods, which are noi 
 common. 
 
 ^^IIE Riches and Goods of Christians are not 
 common, as touching the right, title, and pos- 
 session of the same, as certain Anabaptists do falsely 
 hoast. Notwithstiinding, every man ought, of such 
 things as he posscsseth, liberally to give alms to the 
 poor, according to his ability. 
 
 XXXIX. Of a Christian man's Oath. 
 /4 S we confess that vain and rash .Swearing is 
 -^^ forbidden Christian men by our Lord Jesus 
 Christ, and James his Apostle, so we judge, tliat 
 Christian Religion doth not prohibit, but that a 
 man may swear when tlie Magistrate requireth, in 
 a cause of faith and charity, so it be done according 
 to the Prophet's teaching, in justice, judgement, 
 and truth. 
 
 THE RATIFICATION. 
 
 ^nmS Book of Articles before rehearsed, is again approved, and allowed to be holden and executed within 
 the Realm, by the assent and consent of our Sovereign Lady ELIZABETH, by the grace of God, of Eng- 
 land, France, and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, &c. Which Articles tvere deliberately read, and 
 confirmed again by the subscription of the hands of the Archbishops and Bishops of the Upper-house, and by the 
 subscription of the whole Clergy of the Nether-house in their Convocation, in the Year of our Lord 1571.
