,liturgy1 to keep the mean between the two extremes1 of too much stiffness in refusing1 and of too much easiness in admitting any variation from it4 ,for1 as on the one side common experience sheweth1 that where a change hath been made of things advisedly established 7no evident necessity so requiring7 sundry inconveniences have thereupon ensued2 and those many times more and greater than the evils1 that were intended to be remedied by such change3 ,so on the other side1 the particular ,forms of ,divine worship1 and the ,rites and ,ceremonies appointed to be used therein1 being things in their own nature indifferent1 and alterable1 and so acknowledged2 it is but reasonable1 that upon weighty and important considerations1 according to the various exigency of times and occasions1 such changes and alterations should be made therein1 as to those that are in place of ,authority should from time to time seem either necessary or expedient4 ,accordingly we find1 that in the ,reigns of several ,princes of blessed memory since the ,reformation1 the ,church1 upon just and weighty considerations her thereunto moving1 hath yielded to make such alterations in some particulars1 as in their respective times were thought convenient3 ,yet so1 as that the main ,body and ,essentials of it 7as well in the chiefest materials1 as in the frame and order thereof7 have still continued the same unto this day1 and do yet stand firm and unshaken1 notwithstanding all the vain attempts and impetuous assaults made against it1 by such men as are given to change1 and have always discovered a greater regard to their own private fancies and interests1 than to that duty they owe to the public4 ,by what undue means1 and for what mischievous purposes the use of the ,liturgy 7though enjoined by the ,laws of the ,land1 and those ,laws never yet repealed7 came1 during the late unhappy confusions1 to be discontinued1 is too well known to the world1 and we are not willing here to remember4 ,but when1 upon ,his ,majesty's happy ,restoration1 it seemed probable1 that1 amongst other things1 the use of the ,liturgy also would return of course 7the same having never been legally abolished7 unless some timely means were used to prevent it2 those men who under the late usurped powers had made it a great part of their business to render the people disaffected thereunto1 saw themselves in point of reputation and interest concerned 7unless they would freely acknowledge themselves to have erred1 which such men are very hardly brought to do7 with their utmost endeavours to hinder the restitution thereof4 ,in order whereunto divers ,pamphlets were published against the ,book of ,common ,prayer1 the old ,objections mustered up1 with the addition of some new ones1 more than formerly had been made1 to make the number swell4 ,in fine1 great importunities were used to ,his ,sacred ,majesty1 that the said ,book might be revised1 and such ,alterations therein1 and ,additions thereunto made1 as should be thought requisite for the ease of tender ,consciences3 whereunto ,his ,majesty1 out of his pious inclination to give satisfaction 7so far as could be reasonably expected7 to all his subjects of what persuasion soever1 did graciously condescend4 ,in which review we have endeavoured to observe the like moderation1 as we find to have been used in the like case in former times4 ,and therefore of the sundry ,alterations proposed unto us1 we have rejected all such as were either of dangerous consequence 7as secretly striking at some established ,doctrine1 or laudable ,practice of the ,church of ,england1 or indeed of the whole ,catholic ,church of ,christ7 or else of no consequence at all1 but utterly frivolous and vain4 ,but such ,alterations as were tendered to us 7by what persons1 under what pretences1 or to what purpose soever so tendered7 as seemed to us in any degree requisite or expedient1 we have willingly1 and of our own accord assented unto3 not enforced so to do by any strength of ,argument1 convincing us of the necessity of making the said ,alterations3 ,for we are fully persuaded in our judgements 7and we here profess it to the world7 that the ,book1 as it stood before established by ,law1 doth not contain in it any thing contrary to the ,word of ,god1 or to sound ,doctrine1 or which a godly man may not with a good ,conscience use and submit unto1 or which is not fairly defensible against any that shall oppose the same2 if it shall be allowed such just and favourable construction as in common ,equity ought to be allowed to all human ,writings1 especially such as are set forth by ,authority1 and even to the very best translations of the holy ,scripture itself4 ,our general aim therefore in this undertaking was1 not to gratify this or that party in any their unreasonable demands2 but to do that1 which to our best understandings we conceived might most tend to the preservation of ,peace and ,unity in the ,church2 the procuring of ,reverence1 and exciting of ,piety and ,devotion in the ,public ,worship of ,god2 and the cutting off occasion from them that seek occasion of cavil or quarrel against the ,liturgy of the ,church4 ,and as to the several variations from the former ,book1 whether by ,alteration1 ,addition1 or otherwise1 it shall suffice to give this general account1 ,that most of the ,alterations were made1 either first1 for the better direction of them that are to officiate in any part of ,divine ,service2 which is chiefly done in the ,kalendars and ,rubrics3 ,or secondly1 for the more proper expressing of some words or phrases of ancient usage in terms more suitable to the language of the present times1 and the clearer explanation of some other words and phrases1 that were either of doubtful signification1 or otherwise liable to misconstruction3 ,or thirdly1 for a more perfect rendering of such portions of holy ,scripture1 as are inserted into the ,liturgy2 which1 in the ,epistles and ,gospels especially1 and in sundry other places1 are now ordered to be read according to the last ,translation3 and that it was thought convenient1 that some ,prayers and ,thanksgivings1 fitted to special occasions1 should be added in their due places2 particularly for those at ,sea1 together with an office for the ,baptism of such as are of ,riper ,years3 which1 although not so necessary when the former ,book was compiled1 yet by the growth of ,anabaptism1 through the licentiousness of the late times crept in amongst us1 is now become necessary1 and may be always useful for the baptizing of ,natives in our ,plantations1 and others converted to the ,faith4 ,if any man1 who shall desire a more particular account of the several alterations in any part of the ,liturgy1 shall take the pains to compare the present ,book with the former2 we doubt not but the reason of the change may easily appear4 ,and having thus endeavoured to discharge our duties in this weighty affair1 as in the sight of ,god1 and to approve our sincerity therein 7so far as lay in us7 to the consciences of all men2 although we know it impossible 7in such variety of apprehensions1 humours and interests1 as are in the world7 to please all2 nor can expect that men of factious1 peevish1 and perverse spirits should be satisfied with any thing that can be done in this kind by any other than themselves3 ,yet we have good hope1 that what is here presented1 and hath been by the ,convocations of both ,provinces with great diligence examined and approved1 will be also well accepted and approved by all sober1 peaceable1 and truly conscientious ,sons of the ,church of ,england4 ,,concerning ,,the ,,service ,,of ,,the ,,church ,there was never any thing by the wit of man so well devised1 or so sure established1 which in continuance of time hath not been corrupted3 ,as1 among other things1 it may plainly appear by the ,common ,prayers in the ,church1 commonly called ,divine ,service4 ,the first original and ground whereof if a man would search out by the ancient ,fathers1 he shall find1 that the same was not ordained but of a good purpose1 and for a great advancement of godliness4 ,for they so ordered the matter1 that all the whole ,bible 7or the greatest part thereof7 should be read over once every year2 intending thereby1 that the ,clergy1 and especially such as were ,ministers in the congregation1 should 7by often reading1 and meditation in ,god's word7 be stirred up to godliness themselves1 and be more able to exhort others by wholesome doctrine1 and to confute them that were adversaries to the truth2 and further1 that the people 7by daily hearing of holy ,scripture read in the ,church7 might continually profit more and more in the knowledge of ,god1 and be the more inflamed with the love of his true ,religion4 ,but these many years passed1 this godly and decent order of the ancient ,fathers hath been so altered1 broken1 and neglected1 by planting in uncertain ,stories1 and ,legends1 with multitude of ,responds1 ,verses1 vain ,repetitions1 ,commemorations1 and ,synodals2 that commonly when any ,book of the ,bible was begun1 after three or four ,chapters were read out1 all the rest were unread4 ,and in this sort the ,book of ,isaiah was begun in ,advent1 and the ,book of ,genesis in ,septuagesima2 but they were only begun1 and never read through3 ,after like sort were other ,books of holy ,scripture used4 ,and moreover1 whereas ,st ,paul would have such language spoken to the people in the ,church1 as they might understand1 and have profit by hearing the same2 ,the ,service in this ,church of ,england these many years hath been read in ,latin to the people1 which they understand not2 so that they have heard with their ears only1 and their heart1 spirit1 and mind1 have not been edified thereby4 ,and furthermore1 notwithstanding that the ancient ,fathers have divided the ,psalms into seven ,portions1 whereof every one was called a ,nocturn3 ,now of late time a few of them have been daily said1 and the rest utterly omitted4 ,moreover1 the number and hardness of the ,rules called the ,pie1 and the manifold changings of the ,service1 was the cause1 that to turn the ,book only was so hard and intricate a matter1 that many times there was more business to find out what should be read1 than to read it when it was found out4 ,these inconveniences therefore considered1 here is set forth such an ,order1 whereby the same shall be redressed4 ,and for a readiness in this matter1 here is drawn out a ,kalendar for that purpose1 which is plain and easy to be understood2 wherein 7so much as may be7 the reading of holy ,scripture is so set forth1 that all things shall be done in order1 without breaking one piece from another4 ,for this cause be cut off ,anthems1 ,responds1 ,invitatories1 and such like things as did break the continual course of the reading of the ,scripture4 ,yet1 because there is no remedy1 but that of necessity there must be some ,rules2 therefore certain ,rules are here set forth2 which1 as they are few in number1 so they are plain and easy to be understood4 ,so that here you have an ,order for ,prayer1 and for the reading of the holy ,scripture1 much agreeable to the mind and purpose of the old ,fathers1 and a great deal more profitable and commodious1 than that which of late was used4 ,it is more profitable1 because here are left out many things1 whereof some are untrue1 some uncertain1 some vain and superstitious2 and nothing is ordained to be read1 but the very pure ,word of ,god1 the holy ,scriptures1 or that which is agreeable to the same2 and that in such a ,language and ,order as is most easy and plain for the understanding both of the ,readers and ,hearers4 ,it is also more commodious1 both for the shortness thereof1 and for the plainness of the ,order1 and for that the ,rules be few and easy4 ,and whereas heretofore there hath been great diversity in saying and singing in ,churches within this ,realm2 some following ,salisbury ,use1 some ,hereford ,use1 and some the ,use of ,bangor1 some of ,york1 some of ,lincoln2 now from henceforth all the whole ,realm shall have but one ,use4 ,and forasmuch as nothing can be so plainly set forth1 but doubts may arise in the use and practice of the same2 to appease all such diversity 7if any arise7 and for the resolution of all doubts1 concerning the manner how to understand1 do1 and execute1 the things contained in this ,book2 the parties that so doubt1 or diversely take any thing1 shall alway resort to the ,bishop of the ,diocese1 who by his discretion shall take order for the quieting and appeasing of the same2 so that the same order be not contrary to any thing contained in this ,book4 ,and if the ,bishop of the ,diocese be in doubt1 then he may send for the resolution thereof to the ,archbishop4 ,though it be appointed1 ,that all things shall be read and sung in the ,church in the ,english ,tongue1 to the end that the ,congregation may be thereby edified2 yet it is not meant1 but that when men say ,morning and ,evening ,prayer privately1 they may say the same in any language that they themselves do understand4 ,and all ,priests and ,deacons are to say daily the ,morning and ,evening ,prayer either privately or openly1 not being let by sickness1 or some other urgent cause4 ,and the ,curate that ministereth in every ,parish ,church or ,chapel1 being at home1 and not being otherwise reasonably hindered1 shall say the same in the ,parish ,church or ,chapel where he ministereth1 and shall cause a ,bell to be tolled thereunto a convenient time before he begin1 that the people may come to hear ,god's ,word1 and to pray with him4 ,,of ,,ceremonies1 ,,why ,,some ,,be ,,abolished1 ,,and ,,some ,,retained ,of such ,ceremonies as be used in the ,church1 and have had their beginning by the institution of man1 some at the first were of godly intent and purpose devised1 and yet at length turned to vanity and superstition3 some entered into the ,church by undiscreet devotion1 and such a zeal as was without knowledge2 and for because they were winked at in the beginning1 they grew daily to more and more abuses1 which not only for their unprofitableness1 but also because they have much blinded the people1 and obscured the glory of ,god1 are worthy to be cut away1 and clean rejected3 other there be1 which although they have been devised by man1 yet it is thought good to reserve them still1 as well for a decent order in the ,church1 7for the which they were first devised7 as because they pertain to edification1 whereunto all things done in the ,church 7as the ,apostle teacheth7 ought to be referred4 ,and although the keeping or omitting of a ,ceremony1 in itself considered1 is but a small thing2 yet the wilful and contemptuous transgression and breaking of a common order and discipline is no small offence before ,god1 ,let all things be done among you1 saith ,saint ,paul1 in a seemly and due order3 ,the appointment of the which order pertaineth not to private men2 therefore no man ought to take in hand1 nor presume to appoint or alter any public or common ,order in ,christ's ,church1 except he be lawfully called and authorized thereunto4 ,and whereas in this our time1 the minds of men are so diverse1 that some think it a great matter of conscience to depart from a piece of the least of their ,ceremonies1 they be so addicted to their old customs2 and again on the other side1 some be so new-fangled1 that they would innovate all things1 and so despise the old1 that nothing can like them1 but that is new3 it was thought expedient1 not so much to have respect how to please and satisfy either of these parties1 as how to please ,god1 and profit them both4 ,and yet lest any man should be offended1 whom good reason might satisfy1 here be certain causes rendered1 why some of the accustomed ,ceremonies be put away1 and some retained and kept still4 ,some are put away1 because the great excess and multitude of them hath so increased in these latter days1 that the burden of them was intolerable2 whereof ,saint ,augustine in his time complained1 that they were grown to such a number1 that the estate of ,christian people was in worse case concerning that matter1 than were the ,jews4 ,and he counselled that such yoke and burden should be taken away1 as time would serve quietly to do it4 ,but what would ,saint ,augustine have said1 if he had seen the ,ceremonies of late days used among us2 whereunto the multitude used in his time was not to be compared8 ,this our excessive multitude of ,ceremonies was so great1 and many of them so dark1 that they did more confound and darken1 than declare and set forth ,christ's benefits unto us4 ,and besides this1 ,christ's ,gospel is not a ,ceremonial ,law1 7as much of ,moses' ,law was17 but it is a ,religion to serve ,god1 not in bondage of the figure or shadow1 but in the freedom of the ,spirit2 being content only with those ,ceremonies which do serve to a decent ,order and godly ,discipline1 and such as be apt to stir up the dull mind of man to the remembrance of his duty to ,god1 by some notable and special signification1 whereby he might be edified4 ,furthermore1 the most weighty cause of the abolishment of certain ,ceremonies was1 ,that they were so far abused1 partly by the superstitious blindness of the rude and unlearned1 and partly by the unsatiable avarice of such as sought more their own lucre1 than the glory of ,god1 that the abuses could not well be taken away1 the thing remaining still4 ,but now as concerning those persons1 which peradventure will be offended1 for that some of the old ,ceremonies are retained still3 ,if they consider that without some ,ceremonies it is not possible to keep any ,order1 or quiet ,discipline in the ,church1 they shall easily perceive just cause to reform their judgements4 ,and if they think much1 that any of the old do remain1 and would rather have all devised anew3 then such men granting some ,ceremonies convenient to be had1 surely where the old may be well used1 there they cannot reasonably reprove the old only for their age1 without bewraying of their own folly4 ,for in such a case they ought rather to have reverence unto them for their antiquity1 if they will declare themselves to be more studious of unity and concord1 than of innovations and new-fangleness1 which 7as much as may be with the true setting forth of ,christ's ,religion7 is always to be eschewed4 ,furthermore1 such shall have no just cause with the ,ceremonies reserved to be offended4 ,for as those be taken away which were most abused1 and did burden men's consciences without any cause2 so the other that remain1 are retained for a discipline and order1 which 7upon just causes7 may be altered and changed1 and therefore are not to be esteemed equal with ,god's ,law4 ,and moreover1 they be neither dark nor dumb ,ceremonies1 but are so set forth1 that every man may understand what they do mean1 and to what use they do serve4 ,so that it is not like that they in time to come should be abused as other have been4 ,and in these our doings we condemn no other ,nations1 nor prescribe any thing but to our own people only3 ,for we think it convenient that every ,country should use such ,ceremonies as they shall think best to the setting forth of ,god's honour and glory1 and to the reducing of the people to a most perfect and godly living1 without error or superstition2 and that they should put away other things1 which from time to time they perceive to be most abused1 as in men's ordinances it often chanceth diversely in divers countries4 ,,the ,,order ,,how ,,the ,,psalter ,,is ,,appointed ,,to ,,be ,,read ,the ,psalter shall be read through once every ,month1 as it is there appointed1 both for ,morning and ,evening ,prayer4 ,but in ,february it shall be read only to the twenty-eighth1 or twenty-ninth day of the ,month4

which were read the day before3 ,so that the ,psalter may begin again the first day of the next month ensuing4 ,and1 whereas the #aaith ,psalm is divided into twenty-two portions1 and is over-long to be read at one time2 ,it is so ordered1 that at one time shall not be read above four or five of the said portions4 ,and at the end of every ,psalm1 and of every such part of the #aaith ,psalm1 shall

expedient for them2 granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth1 and in the world to come life everlasting4 ,amen4 #b ,corinthians xiii4 ,the grace of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 and the love of ,god1 and the fellowship of the ,holy ,ghost1 be with us all evermore4 ,amen4 ,here endeth the ,order of ,evening ,prayer throughout the ,year4 ,,at ,,morning ,,prayer ,upon these ,feasts2 ,christmas-day1 the ,epiphany1 ,saint ,matthias1 ,easter-day1 ,ascension-day1 ,whitsunday1 ,saint ,john ,baptist1 ,saint ,james1 ,saint ,bartholomew1 ,saint ,matthew1 ,saint ,simon and ,saint ,jude1 ,saint ,andrew1 and upon ,trinity ,sunday1 shall be sung or said at ,morning ,prayer1 instead of the ,apostles ,creed1 this ,confession of our ,christian ,faith1 commonly called the ,creed of ,saint ,athanasius1 by the ,minister and people standing4 ,,quicunque ,,vult4 ,whosoever will be saved3 before all things it is necessary that he hold the ,catholic ,faith4 ,which ,faith1 except every one do keep whole and undefiled3 without doubt he shall perish everlastingly4 ,and the ,catholic ,faith is this3 ,that we worship one ,god in ,trinity1 and ,trinity in ,unity2 ,neither confounding the ,persons3 nor dividing the ,substance4 ,for there is one ,person of the ,father1 another of the ,son3 and another of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,but the ,godhead of the ,father1 of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost is all one3 the ,glory equal1 the ,majesty co-eternal4 ,such as the ,father is1 such is the ,son3 and such is the ,holy ,ghost4 ,the ,father uncreate1 the ,son uncreate3 and the ,holy ,ghost uncreate4 ,the ,father incomprehensible1 the ,son incomprehensible3 and the ,holy ,ghost incomprehensible4 ,the ,father eternal1 the ,son eternal3 and the ,holy ,ghost eternal4 ,and yet they are not three eternals3 but one eternal4 ,as also there are not three incomprehensibles1 nor three uncreated3 but one uncreated1 and one incomprehensible4 ,so likewise the ,father is ,almighty1 the ,son ,almighty3 and the ,holy ,ghost ,almighty4 ,and yet they are not three ,almighties3 but one ,almighty4 ,so the ,father is ,god1 the ,son is ,god3 and the ,holy ,ghost is ,god4 ,and yet they are not three ,gods3 but one ,god4 ,so likewise the ,father is ,lord1 the ,son ,lord3 and the ,holy ,ghost ,lord4 ,and yet not three ,lords3 but one ,lord4 ,for like as we are compelled by the ,christian verity3 to acknowledge every ,person by himself to be ,god and ,lord2 ,so are we forbidden by the ,catholic ,religion3 to say there be three ,gods1 or three ,lords4 ,the ,father is made of none3 neither created1 nor begotten4 ,the ,son is of the ,father alone3 not made1 nor created1 but begotten4 ,the ,holy ,ghost is of the ,father1 and of the ,son3 neither made1 nor created1 nor begotten1 but proceeding4 ,so there is one ,father1 not three ,fathers2 one ,son1 not three ,sons3 one ,holy ,ghost1 not three ,holy ,ghosts4 ,and in this ,trinity none is afore1 or after other3 none is greater1 or less than another2 ,but the whole three ,persons are co-eternal together3 and co-equal4 ,so that in all things1 as is aforesaid3 the ,unity in ,trinity1 and the ,trinity in ,unity is to be worshipped4 ,he therefore that will be saved3 must thus think of the ,trinity4 ,furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation3 that he also believe rightly the ,incarnation of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 ,for the right ,faith is that we believe and confess3 that our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 the ,son of ,god1 is ,god and ,man2 ,god of the ,substance of the ,father1 begotten before the worlds3 and ,man of the ,substance of his ,mother1 born in the world2 ,perfect ,god1 and perfect ,man3 of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting2 ,equal to the ,father1 as touching his ,godhead3 and inferior to the ,father1 as touching his ,manhood4 ,who although he be ,god and ,man3 yet he is not two1 but one ,christ2 ,one1 not by conversion of the ,godhead into flesh3 but by taking of the ,manhood into ,god2 ,one altogether1 not by confusion of ,substance3 but by unity of ,person4 ,for as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man3 so ,god and ,man is one ,christ4 ,who suffered for our salvation3 descended into hell1 rose again the third day from the dead4 ,he ascended into heaven1 he sitteth on the right hand of the ,father1 ,god ,almighty3 from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead4 ,at whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies3 and shall give account for their own works4 ,and they that have done good shall go into life everlasting3 and they that have done evil into everlasting fire4 ,this is the ,catholic ,faith3 which except a man believe faithfully he cannot be saved4 ,glory be to the ,father1 and to the ,son3 and to the ,holy ,ghost2 ,as it was in the beginning1 is now1 and ever shall be3 world without end4 ,amen4 ,,the ,,litany ,here followeth the ,litany1 or ,general ,supplication1 to be sung or said after ,morning ,prayer1 upon

company come unto him1 he saith unto ,philip1 ,whence shall we buy bread1 that these may eat8 7,and this he said to prove him2 for he himself knew what he would do47 ,philip answered him1 ,two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them1 that every one of them may take a little4 ,one of his disciples1 ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's brother1 saith unto him1 ,there is a lad here1 which hath five barley-loaves1 and two small fishes3 but what are they among so many8 ,and ,jesus said1 ,make the men sit down4 ,now there was much grass in the place4 ,so the men sat down1 in number about five thousand4 ,and ,jesus took the loaves1 and when he had given thanks1 he distributed to the disciples1 and the disciples to them that were set down2 and likewise of the fishes1 as much as they would4 ,when they were filled1 he said unto his disciples1 ,gather up the fragments that remain1 that nothing be lost4 ,therefore they gathered them together1 and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of

perfect tabernacle1 not made with hands2 that is to say1 not of this building2 neither by the blood of goats and calves2 but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place1 having obtained eternal redemption for us4 ,for if the blood of bulls and of goats1 and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean1 sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh2 how much more shall the blood of

testament1 that by means of death1 for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament1 they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance4 ,,the ,,gospel4

,judas who had betrayed him1 when he saw that he was condemned1 repented himself1 and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders1 saying1 ,i have sinned1 in that ,i have betrayed the innocent blood4 ,and they said1 ,what is that to us8 see thou to that4 ,and he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple1 and departed1 and went and hanged himself4 ,and the chief priests took the silver pieces1 and said1 ,it is not lawful for to put them into the treasury1 because it is the price of blood4 ,and they took counsel1 and bought with them the potter's field1 to bury strangers in4 ,wherefore that field was called1 ,the field of blood1 unto this day4 7,then was fulfilled that which was spoken by ,jeremy the prophet1 saying1 ,and they took the thirty pieces of

wont to release unto the people a prisoner1 whom they would4 ,and they had then a notable prisoner1 called ,barabbas4 ,therefore when they were gathered together1 ,pilate said unto them1 ,whom will ye that ,i release unto you8 ,barabbas1 or ,jesus which is called ,christ8 ,for he knew that for envy they had delivered him4 ,when he was set down on the judgement-seat1 his wife sent unto him1 saying1 ,have thou nothing to do with that just man3 for ,i have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him4 ,but the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask

,when ,pilate saw that he could prevail nothing1 but that rather a tumult was made1 he took water1 and washed his hands before the multitude1 saying1 ,i am innocent of the blood of this just person3 see ye to it4 ,then answered all the people1 and said1 ,his blood be on us1 and on our children4 ,then released he ,barabbas unto them3 and when he had scourged ,jesus he delivered him to be crucified4 ,then the soldiers of the governor took ,jesus into the common hall1 and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers4 ,and they stripped him1 and put on him a scarlet robe4 ,and when they had platted a crown of thorns they put it upon his head1 and a reed in his right hand3 and they bowed the knee before him1 and mocked him1 saying1 ,hail1 ,king of the ,jews4 ,and they spit upon him1

out they found a man of ,cyrene1 ,simon by name2 him they compelled to bear his cross4 ,and when they were come unto a place called ,golgotha1 that is to say1 a place of a skull1 they gave him vinegar

prophet1 ,they parted my garments among them1 and upon my vesture did they cast lots4 ,and sitting down they watched him there2 and set up over his head his accusation written1 ,,this ,,is ,,jesus

indignation within themselves1 and said1 ,why was this waste of the ointment made8 for it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence1 and have been given to the poor3 and they murmured against her4 ,and ,jesus said1 ,let her alone2 why trouble ye her8 she hath wrought a good work on me3 for ye have the poor with you always1 and whensoever ye will ye may do them good2 but me ye have not always4 ,she hath done what she could2 she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,wheresoever this ,gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world1 this

thou that we go and prepare1 that thou mayest eat the passover8 ,and he sendeth forth two of his disciples1 and saith unto them1 ,go ye into the city1 and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher

will shew you a large upper-room furnished and prepared3 there make ready for us4 ,and his disciples went forth1 and came into the city1 and found as he had said unto them3 and they made ready the passover4 ,and in the evening he cometh with the twelve4 ,and as they sat1 and did eat1 ,jesus said1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,one of you which eateth with me shall betray me4 ,and they began to be sorrowful1 and to say unto him one by one1 ,is it ,i8 and another said1 ,is it ,i8 ,and he answered and said unto them1 ,it is one of the twelve that dippeth with me in the dish4 ,the ,son of ,man indeed goeth1 as it is written of him3 but woe to that man by whom the ,son of ,man is betrayed3 good were it for that man if he had never been born4 ,and as they did eat1 ,jesus took bread1 and

all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes4 ,and ,peter followed him afar off1 even into the palace of the high priest2 and he sat with the servants1 and warmed himself at the fire4 ,and the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against ,jesus to put him to death2 and found none4 ,for many bare false witness against him1 but their witness agreed not together4 ,and there arose certain1 and bare false witness against him1 saying1 ,we heard him say1 ,i will destroy this temple that is made with hands1 and within three days ,i will build another made without hands4 ,but neither so did their witness agree together4 ,and the high priest stood up in the midst1 and asked ,jesus1 saying1 ,answerest thou nothing8 what is it which these witness against thee8 ,but he held his peace1 and answered nothing4 ,again the high priest asked him1 and said unto him1 ,art thou the ,christ1 the ,son of the ,blessed8 ,and ,jesus said1 ,i am2 and ye shall see the ,son of ,man

ye8 ,and they all condemned him to be guilty of death4 ,and some began to spit on him1 and to cover his face1 and to buffet him1 and to say unto him1 ,prophesy3 and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands4 ,and as ,peter was beneath in the palace there cometh one of the maids of the high priest2 and when she saw ,peter warming himself she looked upon him1 and said4 ,and thou

answered nothing3 so that ,pilate marvelled4 ,now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner1 whomsoever they desired4 ,and there was one named ,barabbas1 which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him1 who had committed murder in the insurrection4 ,and the multitude1 crying aloud1 began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them4 ,but ,pilate answered them1 saying1 ,will ye that ,i release unto you the ,king of the ,jews8 ,for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy4 ,but the chief priests moved the people1 that he should rather release ,barabbas unto them4 ,and ,pilate answered1 and said again unto them1 ,what will ye then that ,i shall do unto him whom ye call the ,king of the ,jews8 ,and they cried out again1 ,crucify him4 ,then ,pilate said unto them1 ,why1 what evil hath he done8 ,and they cried out the more exceedingly1 ,crucify him4 ,and so ,pilate1 willing to content the people1 released ,barabbas unto them1 and delivered ,jesus1 when he had scourged him1 to be crucified4 ,and the soldiers led him away into the hall1 called ,praetorium2 and they call together the whole band4 ,and they clothed him with purple1

worshipped him4 ,and when they had mocked him1 they took off the purple from him1 and put his own clothes on him1 and led him out to crucify him4 ,and they compel one ,simon a ,cyrenian1 who passed by1 coming out of the country1 the father of ,alexander and ,rufus1 to bear his cross4 ,and they bring him unto the place ,golgotha1 which is1 being interpreted1 ,the place of a skull4 ,and they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh2 but he received it not4 ,and when they had crucified him they parted his garments1 casting lots upon them1 what every man should take4 ,and it was the third hour1

was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these2 but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these4 ,for ,christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands1 which are the figures of the true1 but into heaven itself1 now to appear in the presence of ,god for us2 nor yet that he should offer himself often1 as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others3 for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world2 but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away

entereth in4 ,and ye shall say unto the good-man of the house1 ,the ,master saith unto thee1 ,where is the guest-chamber1 where ,i shall eat the passover with my disciples8 ,and he shall shew you a large upper-room furnished2 there make ready4 ,and they went1 and found as he had said unto them3 and they made ready the passover4 ,and when the hour was come he sat down1 and the twelve ,apostles with him4 ,and he said unto them1 ,with desire ,i have desired to eat this passover with you before ,i suffer3 for ,i say unto you1 ,i will not any more eat thereof1 until it be fulfilled in the ,kingdom of ,god4 ,and he took the cup1 and gave thanks1 and said1 ,take this1 and divide it among yourselves4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,i will not drink of the fruit of the vine1 until the ,kingdom of ,god shall come4 ,and he took bread1 and gave thanks1 and brake it1 and gave unto them1 saying1 ,this is my body1 which is given for you3 this do in remembrance of me4 ,likewise also the cup after supper1 saying1 ,this cup is the new testament in my blood1 which is shed for you4 ,but behold1 the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table4 ,and truly the ,son of ,man goeth as it was determined2 but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed4 ,and they began to inquire among themselves1 which of them it was that should do this thing4 ,and there was also a strife among them1 which of them should be accounted the greatest4 ,and he said unto them1 ,the kings of the ,gentiles exercise lordship over them1 and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors4 ,but ye shall not be so3 but he that is greatest among you1 let him be as the younger2 and he that is chief1 as he that doth serve4 ,for whether is greater1 he that sitteth at meat1 or he that serveth8 is not he that sitteth at meat8 but ,i am among you as he that serveth4 ,ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations4 ,and ,i appoint unto you a kingdom1 as my ,father hath appointed unto me2

sift you as wheat3 but ,i have prayed for thee1 that thy faith fail not2 and when thou art converted1 strengthen thy brethren4 ,and he said unto him1 ,lord1 ,i am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death4 ,and he said1 ,i tell thee1 ,peter1 the cock shall not crow this day1 before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me4 ,and he said unto them1 ,when ,i sent you without purse1 and scrip1 and shoes1 lacked ye any thing8 ,and they said1 ,nothing4 ,then said he unto them1 ,but now1 he that hath a purse1 let him take it1 and likewise his scrip3 and he that hath no sword1 let him sell his garment1 and buy one4 ,for ,i say unto you1 ,that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me1 ,and he was reckoned among the transgressors3 for the things concerning me have an end4 ,and they said1 ,lord1 behold1 here are two swords4 ,and he said unto them1 ,it is enough4 ,and he came out1 and went1 as he was wont1 to the mount of ,olives1 and his disciples also followed him4 ,and when he was at the place1 he said unto them1 ,pray1 that ye enter not into temptation4 ,and he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast1 and kneeled down and prayed1 saying1 ,father1 if thou be willing1 remove this cup from me3 nevertheless1 not my will1 but thine be done4 ,and there appeared an angel unto him from heaven1 strengthening him4 ,and being in an agony1 he prayed more earnestly2 and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling-down to the ground4 ,and when he rose up from prayer1 and was come to his disciples1 he found them sleeping for sorrow1 and said unto them1 ,why sleep ye8 rise and pray1 lest ye enter into temptation4 ,and while he yet spake1 behold1 a multitude1 and he that was called ,judas1 one of the twelve1 went before them1 and drew near unto ,jesus to kiss him4 ,but ,jesus said unto him1 ,judas1 betrayest thou the ,son of ,man with a kiss8 ,when they who were about him saw what would follow1 they said unto him1 ,lord1 shall we smite with the sword8 ,and one of them smote the servant of the high priest1 and cut off his right ear4 ,and ,jesus answered and said1 ,suffer ye thus far4 ,and he touched his ear1 and healed him4 ,then ,jesus said unto the chief priests1 and captains of the temple1 and the elders who were come to him1 ,be ye come out as against a thief1 with swords and staves8 ,when ,i was daily with you in the temple1 ye stretched forth no hands against me3 but this is your hour1 and the power of darkness4 ,then took they him1 and led him1 and brought him into the high priest's house3 and ,peter followed afar off4 ,and when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall1 and were set down together1 ,peter sat down among them4 ,but a certain maid beheld him1 as he sat by the fire1 and earnestly looked upon him1 and said1 ,this man was also with him4 ,and he denied him1 saying1 ,woman1 ,i know him not4 ,and after a little while another saw him1 and said1 ,thou art also of them4 ,and ,peter said1 ,man1 ,i am not4 ,and about the space of one hour after1 another confidently affirmed1 saying1 ,of a truth this fellow also was with him2 for he is a ,galilean4 ,and ,peter said1 ,man1 ,i know not what thou sayest4 ,and immediately1 while he yet spake1 the cock crew4 ,and the ,lord turned1 and looked upon ,peter2 and ,peter remembered the word of the ,lord1 how he had said unto him1 ,before the cock crow1 thou shalt deny me thrice4 ,and ,peter went out1 and wept bitterly4 ,and the men that held ,jesus mocked him1 and smote him4 ,and when they had blindfolded him1 they struck him on the face1 and asked him1 saying1 ,prophesy1 who is it that smote thee8 ,and many other things blasphemously spake they against him4 ,and as soon as it was day1 the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together1 and led him into their council1 saying1 ,art thou the ,christ8 tell us4 ,and he said unto them1 ,if ,i tell you1 ye will not believe3 and if ,i also ask you1 ye will not answer me1 nor let me go4 ,hereafter shall the ,son of ,man sit on the right hand of the power of ,god4 ,then said they all1 ,art thou then the ,son of ,god8 ,and he said unto them1 ,ye say

accuse him1 saying1 ,we found this fellow perverting the nation1 and forbidding to give tribute to ,caesar1 saying1 ,that he himself is ,christ a ,king4 ,and ,pilate asked him1 saying1 ,art thou the ,king of the ,jews8 ,and he answered him1 and said1 ,thou sayest it4 ,then said ,pilate to the chief priests and to the people1 ,i find no fault in this man4 ,and they were the more fierce1 saying1 ,he stirreth up the people1 teaching throughout all ,jewry1 beginning from ,galilee to this place4 ,when ,pilate heard of ,galilee1 he asked whether the man were a ,galilaean4 ,and as soon as he knew that he belonged unto ,herod's jurisdiction1 he sent him to ,herod1 who himself was also at ,jerusalem at that time4 ,and when ,herod saw ,jesus he was exceeding glad2 for he was desirous to see him of a long season1 because he had heard many things of him2 and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him4 ,then he questioned with him in many words2 but he answered him nothing4 ,and the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him4 ,and ,herod with his men of war set him at nought1 and mocked him1 and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe1 and sent him again to ,pilate4 ,and the same day ,pilate and ,herod were made friends together2 for before they were at enmity between themselves4 ,and ,pilate1 when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people1 said unto them1 ,ye have brought this man unto me1 as one that perverteth the people3 and behold1 ,i1 having examined him before you1 have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him3 ,no1 nor yet ,herod3 for ,i sent you to him2 and lo1 nothing worthy of death is done unto him4 ,i will therefore chastise him1 and release him4 ,for of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast4 ,and they cried out all at once1 saying1 ,away with this man1 and release unto us ,barabbas3 7who for a certain sedition made in the city1 and for murder1 was cast into prison47 ,pilate therefore1 willing to release ,jesus1 spake again to them4 ,but they cried1 saying1 ,crucify him1 crucify him4 ,and he said unto them the third time1 ,why1 what evil hath he done8 ,i have found no cause of death in him3 ,i will therefore chastise him1 and let him go4 ,and they were instant with loud voices1 requiring that he might be crucified3 and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed4 ,and ,pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required4 ,and he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison1 whom they had desired2 but he delivered ,jesus to their will4 ,and as they led him away1 they laid hold upon one ,simon a ,cyrenian1 coming out of the country1 and on him they laid the cross1 that he might bear it after ,jesus4 ,and there followed him a great company of people1 and of women1 which also bewailed and lamented him4 ,but ,jesus1 turning unto them1 said1 ,daughters of ,jerusalem1 weep not for me1 but weep for yourselves1 and for your children4 ,for behold1 the days are coming1 in the which they shall say1 ,blessed are the barren1 and the wombs that never bare1 and the paps which never gave suck4 ,then

indeed justly2 for we receive the due reward of our deeds2 but this man hath done nothing amiss4 ,and he said unto ,jesus1 ,lord1 remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom4 ,and ,jesus said unto

have had no more conscience of sins4 ,but in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year4 ,for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins4

no more offering for sin4 ,having therefore1 brethren1 boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of ,jesus1 by a new and living way1 which he hath consecrated for us1 through the vail1 that is

unto him1 ,speakest thou not unto me8 knowest thou not that ,i have power to crucify thee1 and have power to release thee8 ,jesus answered1 ,thou couldest have no power at all against me1 except it were given thee from above3 therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin4 ,and from thenceforth ,pilate sought to release him3 but the ,jews cried out1 saying1 ,if thou let this man go1 thou art not ,caesar's friend3 whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against ,caesar4 ,when ,pilate therefore heard that saying1 he brought ,jesus forth1 and sat down in the judgement-seat1 in

of vinegar3 and they filled a spunge with vinegar1 and put it upon hyssop1 and put it to his mouth4 ,when ,jesus therefore had received the vinegar1 he said1 ,it is finished3 and he bowed his head1 and gave up the ghost4 ,the ,jews therefore1 because it was the preparation1 that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day1 7for that sabbath-day was an high day17 besought

obtain remission of our sins1 and are made partakers of the kingdom of heaven4 ,wherefore it is our duty to render most humble and hearty thanks to ,almighty ,god our heavenly ,father1 for that he hath given his ,son our ,saviour ,jesus ,christ1 not only to die for us1 but also to be our spiritual food and sustenance in that holy ,sacrament4 ,which being so divine and comfortable a thing to them who receive it worthily1 and so dangerous to them that will presume to receive it unworthily2 my duty is to exhort you in the mean season to consider the dignity of that holy mystery1 and the great peril of the unworthy receiving thereof2 and so to search and examine your own consciences1 7and that not lightly1 and after the manner of dissemblers with ,god2 but so7 that ye may come holy and clean to such a heavenly ,feast1 in the marriage-garment required by ,god in holy ,scripture1 and be received as worthy partakers of that holy ,table4 ,the way and means thereto is2 ,first1 to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of ,god's commandments2 and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended1 either by will1 word1 or deed1 there to bewail your own sinfulness1 and to confess yourselves to ,almighty ,god1 with full purpose of amendment of life4 ,and if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against ,god1 but also against your neighbours2 then ye shall reconcile yourselves unto them2 being ready to make restitution and satisfaction1 according to the uttermost of your powers1 for all injuries and wrongs done by you to any other2 and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended you1 as ye would have forgiveness of your offences at ,god's hand2 for otherwise the receiving of the holy ,communion doth nothing else but increase your guilt4 ,therefore if any of you be a blasphemer of ,god1 an hinderer or slanderer of his ,word1 an adulterer1 or be in malice1 or envy1 or in any other grievous crime1 repent you of your sins1 or else come not to that holy ,table2 lest1 after the taking of that holy ,sacrament1 the devil enter into you1 as he entered into ,judas1 and fill you full of all iniquities1 and bring you to destruction both of body and soul4 ,and because it is requisite1 that no man should come to the holy ,communion1 but with a full trust in ,god's mercy1 and with a quiet conscience2 therefore if there be any of you1 who by this means cannot quiet his own conscience herein1 but requireth further comfort or counsel1 let him come to me1 or to some other discreet and learned ,minister of ,god's ,word1 and open his grief2 that by the ministry of ,god's holy ,word he may receive the benefit of absolution1 together with ghostly counsel and advice1 to the quieting of his conscience1 and avoiding of all scruple and doubtfulness4 ,the following may be said1 instead of the former1 in case the ,presbyter shall see the people negligent to come to the ,holy ,communion4 ,dearly beloved brethren1 on------,i intend1 by ,god's grace1 to celebrate the ,lord's ,supper3 unto which1 in ,god's behalf1 ,i bid you all that are here present2 and beseech you1 for the ,lord ,jesus ,christ's sake1 that ye will not refuse to come thereto1 being so lovingly called and bidden by ,god himself4 ,ye know how grievous and unkind a thing it is1 when a man hath prepared a rich feast1 decked his table with all kind of provision1 so that there lacketh nothing but the guests to sit down2 and yet they who are called 7without any cause7 most unthankfully refuse to come4 ,which of you in such a case would not be moved8 ,who would not think a great injury and wrong done unto him8 ,wherefore1 most dearly beloved in ,christ1 take ye good heed1 lest ye1 withdrawing yourselves from this holy supper1 provoke ,god's indignation against you4 ,it is an easy matter for a man to say1 ,i will not communicate1 because ,i am otherwise hindered with worldly business4 ,but such excuses are not so easily accepted and allowed before ,god4 ,if any man say1 ,i am a grievous sinner1 and therefore am afraid to come3 wherefore then do ye not repent and amend8 ,when ,god calleth you1 are ye not ashamed to say ye will not come8 ,when ye should return to ,god1 will ye excuse yourselves1 and say ye are not ready8 ,consider earnestly with yourselves how little such feigned excuses will avail before ,god4 ,they that refused the feast in the ,gospel1 because they had bought a farm1 or would try their yokes of oxen1 or because they were married1 were not so excused1 but counted unworthy of the heavenly feast4 ,i1 for my part1 shall be ready2 and according to mine ,office1 ,i bid you in the ,name of ,god1 ,i call you in ,christ's behalf1 ,i exhort you1 as ye love your own salvation1 that ye will be partakers of this holy ,communion4 ,and as the ,son of ,god did vouchsafe to yield up his soul by death upon the ,cross for your salvation2 so it is your duty to receive the ,communion in remembrance of the sacrifice of his death1 as he himself hath commanded3 which if ye shall neglect to do1 consider with yourselves how great injury ye do unto ,god1 and how sore punishment hangeth over your heads for the same2 when ye wilfully abstain from the ,lord's ,table1 and separate from your brethren1 who come to feed on the banquet of that most heavenly food4 ,these things if ye earnestly consider1 ye will by ,god's grace return to a better mind3 for the obtaining whereof we shall not cease to make our humble petitions unto ,almighty ,god our heavenly ,father4 ,,exhortation ,,at ,,the ,,holy ,,communion4 ,dearly beloved in the ,lord1 ye that mind to come to the holy ,communion of the body and blood of our ,saviour ,christ1 must consider what ,st ,paul writeth to the ,corinthians2 how he exhorteth all persons diligently to try and examine themselves1 before they presume to eat of that bread1 and drink of that cup4 ,for as the benefit is great1 if with a true penitent heart and living faith we receive that holy ,sacrament1 7for then we spiritually eat the flesh of ,christ1 and drink his blood2 then we dwell in ,christ1 and ,christ in us2 we are one with ,christ1 and ,christ with us72 so is the danger great1 if we receive the same unworthily2 for then we are guilty of the body and blood of ,christ our ,saviour2 we eat and drink judgement to ourselves1 not discerning the ,lord's body2 we kindle ,god's wrath against us2 we provoke him to plague us with divers diseases1 and sundry kinds of death4 ,judge therefore yourselves1 brethren1 that ye be not judged of the ,lord2 repent you truly for your sins past2 have a living and stedfast faith in ,christ our ,saviour2 amend your lives1 and be in perfect charity with all men3 so shall ye be meet partakers of those holy mysteries4 ,and1 above all things1 ye must give humble and hearty thanks to ,god the ,father1 the ,son1 and the ,holy ,ghost1 for the redemption of the world1 by the death and passion of our ,saviour ,christ1 both ,god and man1 who did humble himself even to the death upon the ,cross for us miserable sinners1 who lay in darkness and the shadow of death1 that he might make us the children of ,god1 and exalt us to everlasting life4 ,and to the end that we should always remember the exceeding great love of our ,master and only ,saviour ,jesus ,christ thus dying for us1 and the innumerable benefits which by his precious blood-shedding he hath obtained to us1 he hath instituted and ordained holy mysteries1 as pledges of his love1 and for a continual remembrance of his death1 to our great and endless comfort4 ,to him therefore1 with the ,father1 and the ,holy ,ghost1 let us give 7as we are most bounden7 continual thanks1 submitting ourselves wholly to his holy will and pleasure1 and studying to serve him in true holiness and righteousness all the days of our life4 ,amen4 ,,the ,,order ,,for ,,the ,,administration ,,of ,,the ,,lord',s ,,supper1 ,,or ,,holy ,,communion ,so many as intend to be partakers of the holy ,communion shall signify their names to the ,curate1 at least some time the day before4 ,and if any of those be an open and notorious evil liver1 or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed1 so that the ,congregation be thereby offended2 the ,curate1 having knowledge thereof1 shall call him and advertise him1 that in any wise he presume not to come to the ,lord's ,table1 until he have openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former naughty life1 that the ,congregation may thereby be satisfied1 which before were offended2 and that he have recompensed the parties1 to whom he hath done wrong2 or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do1 as soon as he conveniently may4 ,the same order shall the ,curate use with those betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign2 not suffering them to be partakers of the ,lord's ,table1 until he know them to be reconciled4 ,and if one of the parties so at variance be content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him1 and to make amends for that he himself hath offended2 and the other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity1 but remain still in his frowardness and malice3 the ,minister in that case ought to admit the penitent person to the holy ,communion1 and not him that is obstinate4 ,provided that every ,minister so repelling any1 as is specified in this1 or the next precedent ,paragraph of this ,rubric1 shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the ,ordinary within fourteen days after at the farthest4 ,and the ,ordinary shall proceed against the offending person according to the ,canon4 ,the ,table at the ,communion time having a fair white linen cloth upon it1 shall stand in the body of the ,church1 or in the ,chancel1 where ,morning and ,evening ,prayer are appointed to be said4 ,and the ,priest standing at the north side of the ,table shall say the ,lord's ,prayer with the ,collect following1 the people kneeling4 ,our ,father which art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy ,name1 ,thy kingdom come1 ,thy will be done1 in earth as it is in heaven4 ,give us this day our daily bread2 ,and forgive us our trespasses1 ,as we forgive them that trespass against us2 ,and lead us not into temptation1 ,but deliver us from evil4 ,amen4 ,the ,collect4 ,almighty ,god1 unto whom all hearts be open1 all desires known1 and from whom no secrets are hid3 ,cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy ,holy ,spirit1 that we may perfectly love thee1 and worthily magnify thy holy ,name2 through ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,then shall the ,priest1 turning to the people1 rehearse distinctly all the ,,ten ,,commandments3 and the people still kneeling shall after every ,commandment ask ,god mercy for their transgression thereof for the time past1 and grace to keep the same for the time to come1 as followeth4 ,minister4 ,god spake these words1 and said2 ,i am the ,lord thy ,god3 ,thou shalt have none other gods but me4 ,people4 ,lord1 have mercy upon us1 and incline our hearts to keep this law4 ,minister4 ,thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image1 nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above1 or in the earth beneath1 or in the water under the earth4 ,thou shalt not bow down to them1 nor worship them4 ,for ,i the ,lord thy

commandments4 ,people4 ,lord1 have mercy upon us1 and incline our hearts to keep this law4 ,minister4 ,thou shalt not take the ,name of the ,lord thy ,god in vain3 for the ,lord will not hold him

thy maid-servant1 thy cattle1 and the stranger that is within thy gates4 ,for in six days the ,lord made heaven and earth1 the sea1 and all that in them is1 and rested the seventh day3 wherefore the ,lord blessed the seventh day1 and hallowed it4 ,people4 ,lord1 have mercy upon us1 and incline our hearts to keep this law4 ,minister4 ,honour thy father and thy mother2 that thy days may be long in

sacrifice of his death1 as he himself hath commanded3 which if ye shall neglect to do1 consider with yourselves how great injury ye do unto ,god1 and how sore punishment hangeth over your heads for the same2 when ye wilfully abstain from the ,lord's ,table1 and separate from your brethren1 who come to feed on the banquet of that most heavenly food4 ,these things if ye earnestly consider1 ye will

drink his blood2 then we dwell in ,christ1 and ,christ in us2 we are one with ,christ1 and ,christ with us27 so is the danger great1 if we receive the same unworthily4 ,for then we are guilty of the ,body and ,blood of ,christ our ,saviour2 we eat and drink our own damnation 991 not considering the ,lord's ,body2 we kindle ,god's wrath against us2 we provoke him to plague us with divers diseases1

miserable sinners1 who lay in darkness and the shadow of death2 that he might make us the children of ,god1 and exalt us to everlasting life4 ,and to the end that we should alway remember the exceeding great love of our ,master and only ,saviour ,jesus ,christ1 thus dying for us1 and the innumerable benefits which by his precious blood-shedding he hath obtained to us2 he hath instituted and ordained holy mysteries1 as pledges of his love1 and for a continual remembrance of his death1 to our great and endless comfort4 ,to him therefore1 with the ,father and the ,holy ,ghost1 let us

directed by his ,bishop4 ,in the former the word guilt may be substituted for the word damnation2 99 in the latter the word judgement may be substituted for damnation4 ,then shall the ,priest say to them that come to receive the holy ,communion1 ,ye that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins1 and are in love and charity with your neighbours1 and intend to lead a new life1 following the commandments of ,god1 and walking from henceforth in his holy ways3 ,draw near with faith1 and take this holy ,sacrament to your comfort2 and make your humble confession to ,almighty ,god1 meekly

they disagree1 it shall be disposed of as the ,ordinary shall appoint4 ,whereas it is ordained in this office for the ,administration of the ,lord's ,supper1 that the ,communicants should receive the same kneeling2 7which order is well meant1 for a signification of our humble and grateful acknowledgement of the benefits of ,christ therein given to all worthy ,receivers1 and for the avoiding of such profanation and disorder in the holy ,communion1 as might otherwise ensue27 yet1 lest the same kneeling should by any persons1 either out of ignorance and infirmity1 or out of malice and obstinacy1 be misconstrued and depraved3 ,it is here declared1 that thereby no ,adoration is intended1 or ought to be done1 either unto the ,sacramental ,bread or ,wine there bodily received1 or unto any ,corporal ,presence of ,christ's natural ,flesh and ,blood4 ,for the ,sacramental ,bread and ,wine remain still in their very natural substances1 and therefore may not be adored2 7for that were

receiving of them that be newly baptized into the number of ,christ's ,church2 as also because in the ,baptism of ,infants every man present may be put in remembrance of his own profession made to ,god in his ,baptism4 ,for which cause also it is expedient that ,baptism be ministered in the vulgar tongue4 ,nevertheless1 7if necessity so require17 children may be baptized upon any other day4

immediately after the last ,lesson at ,morning ,prayer1 or else immediately after the last ,lesson at ,evening ,prayer1 as the ,curate by his discretion shall appoint4 ,and the ,priest coming to the ,font1 7which is then to be filled with pure ,water17 and standing there1 shall say1 ,hath this ,child been already baptized1 or no8 ,if they answer1 ,no3 then shall the ,priest proceed as followeth4

of the ,holy ,ghost3 ,i beseech you to call upon ,god the ,father1 through our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 that of his bounteous mercy he will grant to this ,child that thing which by nature he cannot have2 that he may be baptized with ,water and the ,holy ,ghost1 and received into ,christ's holy ,church1 and be made a lively member of the same4 ,then shall the ,priest say1 ,let us pray4 ,almighty and everlasting ,god1 who of thy great mercy didst save ,noah and his family in the ark from perishing by water2 and also didst safely lead the children of ,israel thy people through the ,red ,sea1 figuring thereby thy holy ,baptism2 and by the ,baptism of thy well-beloved ,son ,jesus ,christ1 in the river ,jordan1 didst sanctify water to the mystical washing away of sin3 ,we beseech thee1 for thine infinite mercies1 that thou wilt mercifully look upon this ,child1 wash him and sanctify him with the ,holy ,ghost2 that he1 being delivered from thy wrath1 may be received into the ark of ,christ's ,church2 and being stedfast in faith1 joyful through hope1 and rooted in charity1 may so pass the waves of this troublesome world1 that finally he may come to the land of everlasting life1

words of our ,saviour ,christ1 that he commanded the children to be brought unto him2 how he blamed those that would have kept them from him2 how he exhorteth all men to follow their innocency4 ,ye

say to the ,godfathers and ,godmothers1 ,name this ,child4 ,and then naming it after them 7if they shall certify him that the ,child may well endure it7 he shall dip it in the ,water discreetly and warily1 saying1 ,n4 ,i baptize thee in the ,name of the ,father1 and of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,amen4 ,but if they certify that the ,child is weak1 it shall suffice to pour ,water upon it1 saying the foresaid words1 ,n4 ,i ,baptize thee in the ,name of the ,father1 and of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,amen4 ,then the ,priest shall say1 ,we receive this ,child into the

,almighty ,god for these benefits1 and with one accord make our prayers unto him1 that this ,child may lead the rest of his life according to this beginning4 ,then shall be said1 all kneeling1 ,our ,father which art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy ,name1 ,thy kingdom come1 ,thy will be done1 in earth as it is in heaven4 ,give us this day our daily bread2 ,and forgive us our trespasses1 ,as we forgive them that trespass against us2 ,and lead us not into temptation1 ,but deliver us from evil4 ,amen4 ,then shall the ,priest say1 ,we yield thee hearty thanks1 most merciful ,father1 that it hath pleased thee to regenerate this ,infant with thy ,holy ,spirit1 to receive him for thine own ,child by adoption1 and to incorporate him into thy holy ,church4 ,and humbly we beseech thee to grant that he being dead unto sin1 and living unto righteousness1 and being buried with ,christ in his death1 may crucify the old man1 and utterly abolish the whole body of sin2 and that1 as he is made partaker of the death of thy ,son1 he may also be partaker of his resurrection2 so that finally1 with the residue of thy holy ,church1 he may be an inheritor of thine everlasting kingdom2 through ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,then1 all standing up1 the ,priest shall say to the ,godfathers and ,godmothers this exhortation following4 ,forasmuch as this ,child hath promised by you his sureties to renounce the devil and all his works1 to believe in ,god1 and to serve him3 ,ye must remember1 that it is your parts and duties to see that this ,infant be taught1 so soon as he shall be able to learn1 what a solemn vow1 promise and profession he hath here made by you4 ,and that he may know these things the better1 ye shall call upon him to hear sermons2 and chiefly ye shall provide that he may learn the ,creed1 the ,lord's ,prayer and the ,ten ,commandments in the vulgar tongue1 and all other things which a ,christian ought to know and believe to his soul's health2 and that this ,child may be virtuously brought up to lead a godly and a ,christian life2 remembering always1 that ,baptism doth represent unto us our profession2 which is1 to follow the example of our ,saviour ,christ1 and to be made like unto him2 that as he died and rose again for us1 so should we1 who are baptized1 die from sin and rise again unto righteousness1 continually mortifying all our evil and corrupt affections1 and daily proceeding in all virtue and godliness of living4 ,then shall he add and say1 ,ye are to take care that this ,child be brought to the ,bishop to be confirmed by him1 so soon as he can say the ,creed1 the ,lord's ,prayer and the ,ten ,commandments in the vulgar tongue1 and be further instructed in the ,church ,catechism set forth for that purpose4 ,it is certain by ,god's ,word1 that children which are baptized1 dying before they commit actual sin1 are undoubtedly saved4 ,to take away all scruple concerning the use of the sign of the ,cross in ,baptism2 the true explication thereof1 and the just reasons for the retaining of it1 may be seen in the xxxth ,canon1 first published in the year ,,mdciv4 ,,the ,,ministration ,,of ,,private ,,baptism ,,of ,,children ,,in ,,houses ,the ,curates of every ,parish shall often admonish the people1 that they defer not the ,baptism of their children longer than the first or second ,sunday next after their birth1 or other ,holy-day falling between1 unless upon a great and reasonable cause1 to be approved by the ,curate4 ,and also they shall warn them1 that without like great cause and necessity they profuse not their children to be baptized at home in their houses4 ,but when need shall compel them so to do1 then ,baptism shall be administered on this fashion4 ,first let the ,minister of the ,parish 7or1 in his absence1 any other lawful ,minister that can be procured7 with them that are present call upon ,god1 and say the ,lord's ,prayer1 and so many of the ,collects appointed to be said before in the form of ,public ,baptism1 as the time and present exigence will suffer4 ,and then1 the child being named by some one that is present1 the ,minister shall pour ,water upon it1 saying these words2 ,n4 ,i baptize thee in the ,name of the ,father1 and of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,amen4 ,then1 all kneeling down1 the ,minister shall give thanks unto ,god1 and say1 ,we yield thee hearty thanks1 most merciful ,father1 that it hath pleased thee to regenerate this ,infant with thy ,holy ,spirit1 to receive him for thine own ,child by adoption1 and to incorporate him into thy holy ,church4 ,and we humbly beseech thee to grant1 that as he is now made partaker of the death of thy ,son1 so he may be also of his resurrection2 and that finally1 with the residue of thy ,saints1 he may inherit thine everlasting kingdom2 through the same thy ,son ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,and let them not doubt1 but that the ,child so baptized is lawfully and sufficiently baptized1 and ought not to be baptized again4 ,yet nevertheless1 if the ,child which is after this sort baptized do afterward live1 it is expedient that it be brought into the ,church1 to the intent that1 if the ,minister of the same ,parish did himself baptize that ,child1 the ,congregation may be certified of the true form of ,baptism1 by him privately before used4 ,in which case he shall say thus1 ,i certify you1 that according to the due and prescribed ,order of the ,church1 at such a time1 and at such a place1 before divers witnesses1 ,i baptized this ,child4 ,but if the ,child were baptized by any other lawful ,minister1 then the ,minister of the ,parish1 where the ,child was born or christened1 shall examine and try whether the ,child be lawfully baptized1 or no4 ,in which case1 if those that bring any ,child to the ,church do answer that the same ,child is already baptized1 then shall the ,minister examine them further1 saying1 ,by whom was this ,child baptized8 ,who was present when this ,child was baptized8 ,because some things essential to this ,sacrament may happen to be omitted through fear or haste1 in such times of extremity2 therefore ,i demand further of you1 ,with what matter was this ,child baptized8 ,with what words was this ,child baptized8 ,and if the ,minister shall find by the answers of such as bring the ,child1 that all things were done as they ought to be2 then shall not he christen the ,child again1 but shall receive him as one of the flock of true ,christian people1 saying thus1 ,i certify you1 that in this case all is well done1 and according unto due order1 concerning the baptizing of this ,child2 who being born in original sin1 and in the wrath of ,god1 is now1 by the laver of ,regeneration in ,baptism1 received into the number of the children of ,god and heirs of everlasting life3 for our ,lord ,jesus ,christ doth not deny his grace and mercy unto such infants1 but most lovingly doth call them unto him1 as the holy ,gospel doth witness to our comfort on this wise4 ,st ,mark x4 #ac4 ,they brought young children to ,christ1 that he should touch them2 and his disciples rebuked those that brought them4 ,but when ,jesus saw it1 he was much displeased1 and said unto them1 ,suffer the little children to come unto me1 and forbid them not2 for of such is the kingdom of ,god4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 ,whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of ,god as a little child1 he shall not enter therein4 ,and he took them up in his arms1 put his hands upon them1 and blessed them4 ,after the ,gospel is read1 the ,minister shall make this brief exhortation upon the words of the ,gospel4 ,beloved1 ye hear in this ,gospel the words of our ,saviour ,christ1 that he commanded the children to be brought unto him2 how he blamed those

and the ,priest shall say1 ,hear the words of the ,gospel1 written by ,saint ,john in the third chapter1 beginning at the first verse4 ,there was a man of the ,pharisees1 named ,nicodemus1 a ruler of the ,jews4 ,the same came to ,jesus by night1 and said unto him1 ,rabbi1 we know that thou art a teacher come from ,god2 for no man can do these miracles that thou doest1 except ,god be with him4 ,jesus answered and said unto him1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except a man be born again1 he cannot see the kingdom of ,god4 ,nicodemus saith unto him1 ,how can a man be born when he is old8 ,can he enter the second time into his mother's womb1 and be born8 ,jesus answered1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto thee1 ,except a man be born of water and of the ,spirit1 he cannot enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,that which is born of the flesh is flesh2 and that which is born of the ,spirit is spirit4 ,marvel not that ,i said unto thee1 ,ye must be born again4 ,the wind bloweth where it listeth1 and thou hearest the sound thereof2 but canst not tell whence it cometh1 and whither it goeth3 so is every one that is born of the ,spirit4 ,after which he shall say this exhortation following4 ,beloved1 ye hear in this ,gospel the express words of our ,saviour ,christ1 that except a man be born of water and of the ,spirit1 he cannot enter into the kingdom of ,god4 ,whereby ye may perceive the great necessity of this ,sacrament1 where it may be had4 ,likewise1 immediately before his ascension into heaven1 7as we read in the last chapter of ,saint ,mark's ,gospel17 he gave command to his disciples1 saying1 ,go ye into all the world1 and preach the ,gospel to every creature4 ,he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved2 but he that believeth not shall be damned4 ,which also sheweth unto us the great benefit we reap thereby4 ,for which cause ,saint ,peter the ,apostle1 when upon his first preaching of the ,gospel many were pricked at the heart1 and said to him and the rest of the ,apostles1 ,men and brethren1 what shall we do8 replied and said unto them1 ,repent1 and be baptized every one of you for the remission of sins1 and ye shall receive the gift of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,for the promise is to you and your children1 and to all that are afar off1 even as many as the ,lord our ,god shall call4 ,and with many other words exhorted he them1 saying1 ,save yourselves from this untoward generation4 ,for 7as the same ,apostle testifieth in another place7 even ,baptism doth also now save us1 7not the putting away of the filth of the flesh1 but the answer of a good conscience towards ,god17 by the resurrection of ,jesus ,christ4 ,doubt ye not therefore1 but earnestly believe1 that he will favourably receive these present persons1 truly repenting1 and coming unto him by faith2 that he will grant them remission of their sins1 and bestow upon them the ,holy ,ghost2 that he will give them the blessing of eternal life1 and make them partakers of his everlasting kingdom4 ,wherefore we being thus persuaded of the good will of our heavenly ,father towards these persons1 declared by his ,son ,jesus ,christ2 let us faithfully and devoutly give thanks to him1 and say1 ,almighty and everlasting ,god1 heavenly ,father1 we give thee humble thanks1 for that thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of thy grace and faith in thee3 ,increase this knowledge1 and confirm this faith in us evermore4 ,give thy ,holy ,spirit to these persons1 that they may be born again1 and be made heirs of everlasting salvation1 through our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 who liveth and reigneth with thee and the ,holy ,spirit1 now and for ever4 ,amen4 ,then the ,priest shall speak to the persons to be baptized on this wise4 ,well-beloved1 who are come hither desiring to receive holy ,baptism1 ye have heard how the ,congregation hath prayed that our ,lord ,jesus ,christ would vouchsafe to receive you and bless you1 to release you of your sins1 to give you the kingdom of heaven and everlasting life4 ,ye have heard also that our ,lord ,jesus ,christ hath promised in his holy ,word1 to grant all those things that we have prayed for2 which promise he1 for his part1 will most surely keep and perform4 ,wherefore1 after this promise made by ,christ1 ye must also faithfully1 for your part1 promise in the presence of these your witnesses1 and this whole ,congregation1 that ye will renounce the devil and all his works1 and constantly believe ,god's holy ,word1 and obediently keep his commandments4 ,then shall the ,priest demand of each of the persons to be baptized1 severally1 these ,questions following4 ,question4 ,dost thou renounce the devil and all his works1 the vain pomp and glory of the world1 with all covetous desires of the same1 and the carnal desires of the flesh1 so that thou wilt not follow nor be led by them8 ,answer4 ,i renounce them all4 ,question4 ,dost thou believe in ,god the ,father ,almighty1 ,maker of heaven and earth8 ,and in ,jesus ,christ his only-begotten ,son our ,lord8 ,and that he was conceived by the ,holy ,ghost1 born of the ,virgin ,mary2 that he suffered under ,pontius ,pilate1 was crucified1 dead1 and buried2 that he went down into hell1 and also did rise again the third day2 that he ascended into heaven1 and sitteth at the right hand of ,god the ,father ,almighty2 and from thence shall come again at the end of the world1 to judge the quick and the dead8 ,and dost thou believe in the ,holy ,ghost2 the holy ,catholic ,church2 the ,communion of ,saints2 the ,remission of sins2 the ,resurrection

him2 that as he died and rose again for us1 so should we1 who are baptized1 die from sin and rise again unto righteousness1 continually mortifying all our evil and corrupt affections1 and daily proceeding in all virtue and godliness of living4 ,it is expedient that every person1 thus baptized1 should be confirmed by the ,bishop so soon after his ,baptism as conveniently may be2 that so he

this prayer following may be used4 ,o almighty ,god1 ,creator of mankind1 who only art the well-spring of life3 ,bestow upon these thy servants1 if it be thy will1 the gift and heritage of children2 and grant that they may see their children brought up in thy faith and fear to the honour and glory of thy ,name2 through ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,o ,god1 who by thy mighty power hast made all things of nothing2 who also 7after other things set in order7 didst appoint1 that out of man 7created after thine own image and similitude7 woman should take her beginning2 and1 knitting them together1 didst teach that it should never be lawful to put asunder those whom thou by ,matrimony hadst made one3 ,o ,god1 who hast consecrated the state of ,matrimony to such an excellent mystery1 that in it is signified and represented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt ,christ and his ,church3 ,look mercifully upon these thy servants1 that both this man may love his wife1 according to thy ,word1 7as ,christ did love his spouse the ,church1 who gave himself for it1 loving and cherishing it even as his own flesh17 and also that this woman may be loving and amiable1 faithful and obedient to her husband2 and in all quietness1 sobriety1 and peace1 be a follower of holy and godly matrons4 ,o ,lord1 bless them both1 and grant them to inherit thy everlasting kingdom2 through ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,then shall the ,priest say1 ,almighty ,god1 who at the beginning did create our first parents1 ,adam and ,eve1 and did sanctify and join them together in marriage2 ,pour upon you the riches of his grace1 sanctify and bless you1 that ye may please him both in body and soul1 and live together in holy love unto your lives end4 ,amen4 ,after which1 if there be no ,sermon declaring the duties of man and wife1 the ,minister shall read as followeth4 ,all ye that are married1 or that intend to take the holy estate of ,matrimony upon you1 hear what the holy ,scripture doth say as touching the duty of husbands towards their wives1 and wives towards their husbands4 ,saint ,paul1 in his ,epistle to the ,ephesians1 the fifth ,chapter1 doth give this commandment to all married men2 ,husbands1 love your wives1 even as ,christ also loved the ,church1 and gave himself for it1 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water1 by the word2 that he might present it to himself a glorious ,church1 not having spot1 or wrinkle1 or any such thing2 but that it should be holy1 and without blemish4 ,so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies4 ,he that loveth his wife loveth himself3 for no man ever yet hated his own flesh1 but nourisheth and cherisheth it1 even as the ,lord the ,church3 for we are members of his body1 of his flesh1 and of his bones4 ,for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother1 and shall be joined unto his wife2 and they two shall be one flesh4 ,this is a great mystery2 but ,i speak concerning ,christ and the ,church4 ,nevertheless1 let every one of you in particular so love his wife1 even as himself4 ,likewise the same ,saint ,paul1 writing to the ,colossians1 speaketh thus to all men that are married2 ,husbands1 love your wives1 and be not bitter against them4 ,hear also what ,saint ,peter1 the ,apostle of ,christ1 who was himself a married man1 saith unto them that are married2 ,ye husbands1 dwell with your wives according to knowledge2 giving honour unto the wife1 as unto the weaker vessel1 and as being heirs together of the grace of life1 that your prayers be not hindered4 ,hitherto ye have heard the duty of the husband toward the wife4 ,now likewise1 ye wives1 hear and learn your duties toward your husbands1 even as it is plainly set forth in holy ,scripture4 ,saint ,paul1 in the aforenamed ,epistle to the ,ephesians1 teacheth you thus2 ,wives1 submit yourselves unto your own husbands1 as unto the ,lord4 ,for the husband is the head of the wife1 even as ,christ is the head of the ,church3 and he is the ,saviour of the body4 ,therefore as the ,church is subject unto ,christ1 so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing4 ,and again he saith1 ,let the wife see that she reverence her husband4 ,and in his ,epistle to the ,colossians1 ,saint ,paul giveth you this short lesson2 ,wives1 submit yourselves unto your own husbands1 as it is fit in the ,lord4 ,saint ,peter also doth instruct you very well1 thus saying2 ,ye wives1 be in subjection to your own husbands2 that1 if any obey not the word1 they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives2 while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear4 ,whose adorning1 let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair1 and of wearing of gold1 or of putting on of apparel2 but let it be the hidden man of the heart1 in that which is not corruptible2 even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit1 which is in the sight of ,god of great price4 ,for after this manner in the old time the holy women also1 who trusted in ,god1 adorned themselves1 being in subjection unto their own husbands2 even as ,sarah obeyed ,abraham1 calling him lord2 whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well1 and are not afraid with any amazement4 ,the concluding address may be omitted1 and unless the holy ,communion immediately follow1 the congregation may be dismissed with a ,benediction4 ,it is convenient that the new-married persons should receive the holy ,communion at the time of their ,marriage1 or at the first opportunity after their ,marriage4 ,,the ,,order ,,for ,,the ,,visitation ,,of ,,the ,,sick ,when any person is sick1 notice shall be given thereof to the ,minister of the ,parish2 who1 coming into the sick person's house1 shall say1 ,peace be to this house1 and to all that dwell in it4 ,when he cometh into the sick man's presence he shall say1 kneeling down1 ,remember not1 ,lord1 our iniquities1 nor the iniquities of our forefathers3 ,spare us1 good ,lord1 spare thy people1 whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood1 and be not angry with us for ever4 ,answer4 ,spare us1 good ,lord4 ,then the ,minister shall say1 ,let us pray4 ,lord1 have mercy upon us4 ,christ1 have mercy upon us4 ,lord1 have mercy upon us4 ,our ,father which art in heaven1 ,hallowed be thy ,name1 ,thy kingdom come1 ,thy will be done1 in earth as it is in heaven4 ,give us this day our daily bread2 ,and forgive us our trespasses1 ,as we forgive them that trespass against us2 ,and lead us not into temptation1 ,but deliver us from evil4 ,amen4 ,minister4 ,o ,lord1 save thy servant2 ,answer4 ,which putteth his trust in thee4 ,minister4 ,send him help from thy holy place2 ,answer4 ,and evermore mightily defend him4 ,minister4 ,let the enemy have no advantage of him2 ,answer4 ,nor the wicked approach to hurt him4 ,minister4 ,be unto him1 ,o ,lord1 a strong tower2 ,answer4 ,from the face of his enemy4 ,minister4 ,o ,lord1 hear our prayers4 ,answer4 ,and let our cry come unto thee4 ,minister4 ,o ,lord1 look down from heaven1 behold1 visit1 and relieve this thy servant4 ,look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy1 give him comfort and sure confidence in thee1 defend him from the danger of the enemy1 and keep him in perpetual peace and safety2 through ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,hear us1 ,almighty and most merciful ,god and ,saviour2 extend thy accustomed goodness to this thy servant who is grieved with sickness4 ,sanctify1 we beseech thee1 this thy fatherly correction to him2 that the sense of his weakness may add strength to his faith1 and seriousness to his repentance3 that1 if it shall be thy good pleasure to restore him to his former health1 he may lead the residue of his life in thy fear1 and to thy glory3 or else give him grace so to take thy visitation1 that1 after this painful life ended1 he may dwell with thee in life everlasting2 through ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,then shall the ,minister exhort the sick person after this form1 or other like4 ,dearly beloved1 know this1 that ,almighty ,god is the ,lord of life and death1 and of all things to them pertaining1 as youth1 strength1 health1 age1 weakness1 and sickness4 ,wherefore1 whatsoever your sickness is1 know you certainly1 that it is ,god's visitation4 ,and for what cause soever this sickness is sent unto you2 whether it be to try your patience1 for the example of others1 and that your faith may be found in the day of the ,lord laudable1 glorious1 and honourable1 to the increase of glory and endless felicity2 or else it be sent unto you to correct and amend in you whatsoever doth offend the eyes of your heavenly ,father2 know you certainly1 that if you truly repent you of your sins1 and bear your sickness patiently1 trusting in ,god's mercy for his dear ,son ,jesus ,christ's sake1 and render unto him humble thanks for his fatherly visitation1 submitting yourself wholly unto his will1 it shall turn to your profit1 and help you forward in the right way that leadeth unto everlasting life4 ,if the person visited be very sick1 then the ,curate may end his exhortation in this place1 or else proceed4 ,take therefore in good part the chastisement of the ,lord3 ,for 7as ,saint ,paul saith in the twelfth chapter to the ,hebrews7 whom the ,lord loveth he chasteneth1 and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth4 ,if ye endure chastening1 ,god dealeth with you as with sons2 for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not8 ,but if ye be without chastisement1 whereof all are partakers1 then are ye bastards1 and not sons4 ,furthermore1 we have had fathers of our flesh1 which corrected us1 and we gave them reverence3 shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the ,father of spirits1 and live8 ,for they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure2 but he for our profit1 that we might be partakers of his holiness4 ,these words1 good brother1 are written in holy ,scripture for our comfort and instruction2 that we should patiently1 and with thanksgiving1 bear our heavenly ,father's correction1 whensoever by any manner of adversity it shall please his gracious goodness to visit us4 ,and there should be no greater comfort to ,christian persons1 than to be made like unto ,christ1 by suffering patiently adversities1 troubles1 and sicknesses4 ,for he himself went not up to joy1 but first he suffered pain2 he entered not into his glory before he was crucified4 ,so truly our way to eternal joy is to suffer here with ,christ2 and our door to enter into eternal life is gladly to die with ,christ2 that we may rise again from death1 and dwell with him in everlasting life4 ,now therefore1 taking your sickness1 which is thus profitable for you1 patiently1 ,i exhort you1 in the name of ,god1 to remember the profession which you made unto ,god in your ,baptism4 ,and forasmuch as after this life there is an account to be given unto the righteous ,judge1 by whom all must be judged without respect of persons1 ,i require you to examine yourself and your estate1 both toward ,god and man2 so that1 accusing and condemning yourself for your own faults1 you may find mercy at our heavenly ,father's hand for ,christ's sake1 and not be accused and condemned in that fearful judgement4 ,therefore ,i shall rehearse to you the ,articles of our ,faith1 that you may know whether you do believe as a ,christian man should1 or no4 ,here the ,minister shall rehearse the ,articles of the ,faith1 saying thus1 ,dost thou believe in ,god the ,father ,almighty1 ,maker of heaven and earth8 ,and in ,jesus ,christ his only-begotten ,son our ,lord8 ,and that he was conceived by the ,holy ,ghost1 born of the ,virgin ,mary2 that he suffered under ,pontius ,pilate1 was crucified1 dead1 and buried2 that he went down into hell1 and also did rise again the third day2 that he ascended into heaven1 and sitteth at the right hand of ,god the ,father ,almighty2 and from thence shall come again at the end of the world1 to judge the quick and the dead8 ,and dost thou believe in the ,holy ,ghost2 the holy ,catholic ,church2 the ,communion of ,saints2 the ,remission of sins2 the ,resurrection of the flesh2 and everlasting life after death8 ,the sick person shall answer1 ,all this ,i stedfastly believe4 ,then shall the ,minister examine whether he repent him truly of his sins1 and be in charity with all the world2 exhorting him to forgive1 from the bottom of his heart1 all persons that have offended him2 and if he have offended any other1 to ask them forgiveness2 and where he hath done injury or wrong to any man1 that he make amends to the uttermost of his power4 ,and if he have not before disposed of his goods1 let him then be admonished to make his ,will1 and to declare his debts1 what he oweth1 and what is owing unto him2 for the better discharging of his conscience1 and the quietness of his ,executors4 ,but men should often be put in remembrance to take order for the settling of their temporal estates whilst they are in health4 ,these words before rehearsed may be said before the ,minister begin his ,prayer1 as he shall see cause4 ,the ,minister should not omit earnestly to move such sick persons as are of ability to be liberal to the poor4 ,here shall the sick person be moved to make a special confession of his sins1 if he feel his conscience troubled with any weighty matter4 ,after which confession1 the ,priest shall absolve him 7if he humbly and heartily desire it7 after this sort4 ,our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 who hath left power to his ,church to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in him1 of his great mercy forgive thee thine offences3 ,and by his authority committed to me1 ,i absolve thee from all thy sins1 ,in the ,name of the ,father1 and of the ,son1 and of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,amen4 ,and then the ,priest shall say the ,collect following4 ,let us pray4 ,o most merciful ,god1 who1 according to the multitude of thy mercies1 dost so put away the sins of those who truly repent1 that thou rememberest them no more3 ,open thine eye of mercy upon this thy servant1 who most earnestly desireth pardon and forgiveness4 ,renew in him 7most loving ,father7 whatsoever hath been decayed by the fraud and malice of the devil1 or by his own carnal will and frailness2 preserve and continue this sick member in the unity of the ,church2 consider his contrition1 accept his tears1 assuage his pain1 as shall seem to thee most expedient for him4 ,and forasmuch as he putteth his full trust only in thy mercy1 impute not unto him his former sins1 but strengthen him with thy blessed ,spirit2 and1 when thou art pleased to take him hence1 take him unto thy favour1 through the merits of thy most dearly beloved ,son ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,then shall the ,minister say this ,psalm4 ,in te1 ,domine1 speravi4 ,psalm lxxi4 ,in thee1 ,o ,lord1 have ,i put my trust2 let me never be put to confusion3 but rid me1 and deliver me in thy righteousness2 incline thine ear unto me1 and save me4 ,be thou my strong hold1 whereunto ,i may alway resort3 thou hast promised to help me2 for thou art my house of defence1 and my castle4 ,deliver me1 ,o my ,god1 out of the hand of the ungodly3 out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man4 ,for thou1 ,o ,lord ,god1 art the thing that ,i long for3 thou art my hope1 even from my youth4 ,through thee have ,i been holden up ever since ,i was born3 thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb2 my praise shall alway be of thee4 ,i am become as it were a monster unto many3 but my sure trust is in thee4 ,o let my mouth be filled with thy praise3 that ,i may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long4 ,cast me not away in the time of age3 forsake me not when my strength faileth me4 ,for mine enemies speak against me1 and they that lay wait for my soul take their counsel together1 saying3 ,god hath forsaken him1 persecute him1 and take him2 for there is none to deliver him4 ,go not far from me1 ,o ,god3 my ,god1 haste thee to help me4 ,let them be confounded and perish that are against my soul3 let them be covered with shame and dishonour that seek to do me evil4 ,as for me1 ,i will patiently abide alway3 and will praise thee more and more4 ,my mouth shall daily speak of thy righteousness and salvation3 for ,i know no end thereof4 ,i will go forth in the strength of the ,lord ,god3 and will make mention of thy righteousness only4 ,thou1 ,o ,god1 hast taught me from my youth up until now3 therefore will ,i tell of thy wondrous works4 ,forsake me not1 ,o ,god1 in mine old age1 when ,i am gray-headed3 until ,i have shewed thy strength unto this generation1 and thy power to all them that are yet for to come4 ,thy righteousness1 ,o ,god1 is very high1 and great things are they that thou hast done3 ,o ,god1 who is like unto thee8 ,glory be to the ,father1 and to the ,son3 and to the ,holy ,ghost2 ,as it was in the beginning1 is now1 and ever shall be3 world without end4 ,amen4 ,adding this4 ,o ,saviour of the world1 who by thy ,cross and precious ,blood hast redeemed us3 ,save us1 and help us1 we humbly beseech thee1 ,o ,lord4 ,then shall the

evermore thy defence2 and make thee know and feel1 that there is none other ,name under heaven given to man1 in whom1 and through whom1 thou mayest receive health and salvation1 but only the ,name of

thy salvation2 deliver him in thy good appointed time from his bodily pain1 and save his soul for thy mercies sake3 that1 if it shall be thy pleasure to prolong his days here on earth1 he may live to thee1 and be an instrument of thy glory1 by serving thee faithfully1 and doing good in his generation2 or else receive him into those heavenly habitations1 where the souls of them that sleep in the

asleep3 and fade away suddenly like the grass4 ,in the morning it is green1 and groweth up3 but in the evening it is cut down1 dried up1 and withered4 ,for we consume away in thy displeasure3 and are

it was in the beginning1 is now1 and ever shall be3 world without end4 ,amen4 ,then shall follow the ,lesson taken out of the fifteenth chapter of the former ,epistle of ,saint ,paul to the ,corinthians4 #a ,cor4 xv4 #bj4 ,now is ,christ risen from the dead1 and become the first-fruits of them that slept4 ,for since by man came death1 by man came also the resurrection of the dead4 ,for as in ,adam all die1 even so in ,christ shall all be made alive4 ,but every man in his own order3 ,christ the first-fruits2 afterward they that are ,christ's1 at his coming4 ,then cometh the end1 when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to ,god1 even the ,father2 when he shall have put down all rule1 and all authority1 and power4 ,for he must reign1 till he hath put all enemies under his feet4 ,the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death4 ,for he hath put all things under his feet4 ,but when he saith1 all things are put under him1 it is manifest that he is excepted1 which did put all things under him4 ,and when all things shall be subdued unto him1 then shall the ,son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him1 that ,god may be all in all4 ,else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead1 if the dead rise not at all8 why are they then baptized for the dead8 ,and why stand we in jeopardy every hour8 ,i protest by your rejoicing1 which ,i have in ,christ ,jesus our ,lord1 ,i die daily4 ,if after the manner of men ,i have fought with beasts at ,ephesus1 what advantageth it me1 if the dead rise not8 ,let us eat and drink1 for to-morrow we die4 ,be not deceived3 evil communications corrupt good manners4 ,awake to righteousness1 and sin not3 for some have not the knowledge of ,god3 ,i speak this to your shame4 ,but some man will say1 ,how are the dead raised up8 and with what body do they come8 ,thou fool1 that which thou sowest is not quickened1 except it die4 ,and that which thou sowest1 thou sowest not that body that shall be1 but bare grain1 it may chance of wheat1 or of some other grain3 but ,god giveth it a body1 as it hath pleased him1 and to every seed his own body4 ,all flesh is not the same flesh2 but there is one kind of flesh of men1 another flesh of beasts1 another of fishes1 and another of birds4 ,there are also celestial bodies1 and bodies terrestrial2 but the glory of the celestial is one1 and the glory of the terrestrial is another4 ,there is one glory of the sun1 and another glory of the moon1 and another glory of the stars2 for one star differeth from another star in glory4 ,so also is the resurrection of the dead4 ,it is sown in corruption2 it is raised in incorruption3 it is sown in dishonour2 it is raised in glory3 it is sown in weakness2 it is raised in power3 it is sown a natural body2 it is raised a spiritual body4 ,there is a natural body1 and there is a spiritual body4 ,and so it is written1 ,the first man ,adam was made a living soul2 the last ,adam was made a quickening spirit4 ,howbeit1 that was not first which is spiritual1 but that which is natural2 and afterward that which is spiritual4 ,the first man is of the earth1 earthy3 the second man is the ,lord from heaven4 ,as is the earthy1 such are they that are earthy3 and as is the heavenly1 such are they also that are heavenly4 ,and as we have borne the image of the earthy1 we shall also bear the image of the heavenly4 ,now this ,i say1 brethren1 that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of ,god2 neither doth corruption inherit incorruption4 ,behold1 ,i shew you a mystery3 ,we shall not all sleep1 but we shall all be changed1 in a moment1 in the twinkling of an eye1 at the last trump3 for the trumpet shall sound1 and the dead shall be raised incorruptible1 and we shall be changed4 ,for this corruptible must put on incorruption1 and this mortal must put on immortality4 ,so when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption1 and this mortal shall have put on immortality2 then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written1 ,death is swallowed up in victory4 ,o death1 where is thy sting8 ,o grave1 where is thy victory8 ,the sting of death is sin2 and the strength of sin is the law4 ,but thanks be to ,god1 which giveth us the victory through our ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 ,therefore1 my beloved brethren1 be ye stedfast1 unmoveable1 always abounding in the work of the ,lord1 forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the ,lord4 ,with the sanction of the ,bishop the passage in the preceding lesson marked with square brackets may be omitted1 ,or one of the following lessons may be substituted3 ,st ,john v4 #bd4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that heareth my word1 and believeth on him that sent me1 hath everlasting life1 and shall not come into condemnation2 but is passed from death unto life4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,the hour is coming1 and now is1 when the dead shall hear the voice of the ,son of ,god3 and they that hear shall live4 ,for as the ,father hath life in himself2 so hath he given to the ,son to have life in himself2 and hath given him authority to execute judgement also1 because he is the ,son of man4 ,st ,john vi4 #cg4 ,all that the ,father giveth me shall come to me2 and him that cometh to me ,i will in no wise cast out4 ,for ,i came down from heaven1 not to do mine own will1 but the will of him that sent me4 ,and this is the ,father's will which hath sent me1 that of all which he hath given me ,i should lose nothing1 but should raise it up again at the last day4 ,and this is the will of him that sent me1 that every one which seeth the ,son1 and believeth on him1 may have everlasting life3 and ,i will raise him up at the last day4 ,st ,john xi4 #ba4 ,then said ,martha unto ,jesus1 ,lord1 if thou hadst been here1 my brother had not died4 ,but ,i know1 that even now1 whatsoever thou wilt ask of ,god1 ,god will give it thee4 ,jesus saith unto her1 ,thy brother shall rise again4 ,martha saith unto him1 ,i know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day4 ,jesus said unto her1 ,i am the resurrection1 and the life3 he that believeth in me1 though he were dead1 yet shall he live3 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die4 ,believest thou this8 ,she saith unto him1 ,yea1 ,lord3 ,i believe that thou art the ,christ1 the ,son of ,god1 which should come into the world4 #b ,cor4 iv4 #af4 ,for which cause we faint not2 but though our outward man perish1 yet the inward man is renewed day by day4 ,for our light affliction1 which is but for a moment1 worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory1 while we look not at the things which are seen1 but at the things which are not seen3 for the things which are seen are temporal1 but the things which are not seen are eternal4 ,for we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved1 we have a building of ,god1 an house not made with hands1 eternal in the heavens4 ,for in this we groan1 earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven3 if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked4 ,for we that are in this tabernacle do groan1 being burdened3 not for that we would be unclothed1 but clothed upon1 that mortality might be swallowed up of life4 ,now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is ,god1 who also hath given unto us the earnest of the ,spirit4 ,therefore we are always confident1 knowing that1 whilst we are at home in the body1 we are absent from the ,lord3 7for we walk by faith1 not by sight37 we are confident1 ,i say1 and willing rather to be absent from the body1 and to be present with the ,lord4 ,wherefore we labour1 that1 whether present or absent1 we may be accepted of him4 ,for we must all appear before the judgement seat of ,christ2 that every one may receive the things done in his body1 according to that he hath done1 whether it be good or bad4 #a ,thess4 iv4 #ac3 ,i would not have you to be ignorant1 brethren1 concerning them which are asleep1 that ye sorrow not1 even as others which have no hope4 ,for if we believe that ,jesus died and rose again1 even so them also which sleep in ,jesus will ,god bring with him4 ,for this we say unto you by the word of the ,lord1 that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the ,lord shall not prevent them which are asleep4 ,for the ,lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout1 with the voice of the archangel1 and with the trump of ,god3 and the dead in ,christ shall rise first3 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds1 to meet the ,lord in the air3 and so shall we ever be with the ,lord4 ,wherefore comfort one another with these words4 ,rev4 vii4 #i4 ,after this ,i beheld1 and1 lo1 a great multitude1 which no man could number1 of all nations1 and kindreds1 and people1 and tongues1 stood before the throne1 and before the ,lamb1 clothed with white robes1 and palms in their hands2 and cried with a loud voice1 saying1 ,salvation to our ,god which sitteth upon the throne1 and unto the ,lamb4 ,and all the angels stood round about the throne1 and about the elders1 and the four beasts1 and fell before the throne on their faces1 and worshipped ,god1 saying1 ,amen3 ,blessing1 and glory1 and wisdom1 and thanksgiving1 and honour1 and power1 and might1 be unto our ,god for ever and ever3 ,amen4 ,and one of the elders answered1 saying unto me1 ,what are these which are arrayed in white robes8 and whence came they8 ,and ,i said unto him1 ,sir1 thou knowest4 ,and he said to me1 ,these are they which came out of great tribulation1 and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the ,lamb4 ,therefore are they before the throne of ,god1 and serve him day and night in his temple3 and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them4 ,they shall hunger no more1 neither thirst any more2 neither shall the sun light on them1 nor any heat4 ,for the ,lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them1 and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters3 and ,god shall wipe away all tears from their eyes4 ,rev4 xxi4 #c4 ,and ,i heard a great voice out of heaven saying1 ,behold1 the tabernacle of ,god is with men1 and he will dwell with them1 and they shall be his people1 and ,god himself shall be with them1 and be their ,god4 ,and ,god shall wipe away all tears from their eyes2 and there shall be no more death1 neither sorrow1 nor crying1 neither shall there be any more pain3 for the former things are passed away4 ,and he that sat upon the throne said1 ,behold1 ,i make all things new4 ,and he said unto me1 ,write3 for these words are true and faithful4 ,after the lesson the officiating minister may1 in the ,church1 say ,let us pray1 and one or more of these prayers following3 ,the ,collects for ,advent ,sunday1 ,palm ,sunday1 ,easter ,eve1 ,twenty-first ,sunday after ,trinity1 the fifth ,collect at the end of the ,communion ,service of the

that he ascended1 what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth8 ,he that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens1 that he might fill all

body of ,christ2 till we all come1 in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the ,son of ,god1 unto a perfect man1 unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of ,christ4 ,after this shall be read for the ,gospel part of the ninth chapter of ,saint ,matthew1 as followeth4 ,st ,matth4 ix4 #cf4 ,when ,jesus saw the multitudes1 he was moved with compassion on them1 because they fainted1 and were scattered abroad1 as sheep having no shepherd4 ,then saith he unto his disciples1 ,the harvest truly is plenteous1 but the labourers are few2 pray ye therefore the ,lord of the harvest1 that he will send forth labourers into his harvest4 ,or else this that followeth1 out of the tenth chapter of ,saint ,john4 ,st ,john x4 #a4 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,he that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold1 but climbeth up some other way1 the same is a thief and a robber4 ,but he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep4 ,to him the porter openeth2 and the sheep hear his voice3 and he calleth his own sheep by name1 and leadeth them out4 ,and when he putteth forth his own sheep1 he goeth before them1 and the sheep follow him3 for they know his voice4 ,and a stranger will they not follow1 but will flee from him3 for they know not the voice of strangers4 ,this parable spake ,jesus unto them1 but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them4 ,then said ,jesus unto them again1 ,verily1 verily1 ,i say unto you1 ,i am the door of the sheep4 ,all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers3 but the sheep did not hear them4 ,i am the door3 by me if any man enter in1 he shall be saved1 and shall go in and out1 and find pasture4 ,the thief cometh not but for to steal1 and to kill1 and to destroy3 ,i am come that they might have life1 and that they might have it more abundantly4 ,i am the good shepherd3 the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep4 ,but he that is an hireling1 and not the shepherd1 whose own the sheep are not1 seeth the wolf coming1 and leaveth the sheep1 and fleeth3 and the wolf catcheth them1 and scattereth the sheep4 ,the hireling fleeth1 because he is an hireling1 and careth not for the sheep4 ,i am the good shepherd1 and know my sheep1 and am known of mine4 ,as the ,father knoweth me1 even so know ,i the ,father3 and ,i lay down my life for the sheep4 ,and other sheep ,i have1 which are not of this fold3 them also ,i must bring1 and they shall hear my voice2 and there shall be one fold1 and one shepherd4 ,then the ,bishop1 sitting in his ,chair1 shall say unto them as hereafter followeth4 ,you have heard1 brethren1 as well in your private examination1 as in the exhortation which was now made to you1 and in the holy ,lessons taken out of the ,gospel and the writings of the ,apostles1 of what dignity and of how great importance this office is1 whereunto ye are called4 ,and now again we exhort you1 in the ,name of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 that you have in remembrance1 into how high a dignity1 and to how weighty an office and charge ye are called3 that is to say1 to be messengers1 watchmen1 and stewards of the ,lord2 to teach and to premonish1 to feed and provide for the ,lord's family2 to seek for ,christ's sheep that are dispersed abroad1 and for his children who are in the midst of this naughty world1 that they may be saved through ,christ for ever4 ,have always therefore printed in your remembrance1 how great a treasure is committed to your charge4 ,for they are the sheep of ,christ1 which he bought with his death1 and for whom he shed his blood4 ,the ,church and ,congregation whom you must serve1 is his spouse and his body4 ,and if it shall happen the same ,church1 or any member thereof1 to take any hurt or hindrance by reason of your negligence1 ye know the greatness of the fault1 and also the horrible punishment that will ensue4 ,wherefore consider with yourselves the end of your ministry towards the children of ,god1 towards the spouse and body of ,christ2 and see that you never cease your labour1 your care and diligence1 until you have done all that lieth in you1 according to your bounden duty1 to bring all such as are or shall be committed to your charge1 unto that agreement in the faith and knowledge of ,god1 and to that ripeness and perfectness of age in ,christ1 that there be no place left among you1 either for error in religion1 or for viciousness in life4 ,forasmuch then as your office is both of so great excellency and of so great difficulty1 ye see with how great care and study ye ought to apply yourselves1 as well that ye may shew yourselves dutiful and thankful unto that ,lord1 who hath placed you in so high a dignity2 as also to beware that neither you yourselves offend1 nor be occasion that others offend4 ,howbeit1 ye cannot have a mind and will thereto of yourselves2 for that will and ability is given of ,god alone4 ,therefore ye ought1 and have need1 to pray earnestly for his ,holy ,spirit4 ,and seeing that you cannot by any other means compass the doing of so weighty a work1 pertaining to the salvation of man1 but with doctrine and exhortation taken out of the holy ,scriptures1 and with a life agreeable to the same2 consider how studious ye ought to be in reading and learning the ,scriptures1 and in framing the manners both of yourselves1 and of them that specially pertain unto you1 according to the rule of the same ,scriptures3 and for this self-same cause1 how ye ought to forsake and set aside 7as much as you may7 all worldly cares and studies4 ,we have good hope that you have well weighed and pondered these things with yourselves long before this time2 and that you have clearly determined1 by ,god's grace1 to give yourselves wholly to this office1 whereunto it hath pleased ,god to call you3 so that1 as much as lieth in you1 you will apply yourselves wholly to this one thing1 and draw all your cares and studies this way2 and that you will continually pray to ,god the ,father1 by the mediation of our only ,saviour ,jesus ,christ1 for the heavenly assistance of the ,holy ,ghost2 that1 by daily reading and weighing of the ,scriptures1 ye may wax riper and stronger in your ministry2 and that ye may so endeavour yourselves from time to time to sanctify the lives of you and yours1 and to fashion them after the rule and doctrine of ,christ1 that ye may be wholesome and godly examples and patterns for the people to follow4 ,and now1 that this present ,congregation of ,christ here assembled may also understand your minds and wills in these things1 and that this your promise may the more move you to do your duties1 ye shall answer plainly to these things1 which we1 in the ,name of ,god1 and of his ,church1 shall demand of you touching the same4 ,do you think in your heart that you be truly called1 according to the will of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 and the order of this ,church1 to the ,order and ,ministry of ,priesthood8 ,answer4 ,i think it4 ,the ,bishop4 ,are you persuaded that the holy ,scriptures contain sufficiently all doctrine required of necessity for eternal salvation through faith in ,jesus ,christ8 ,and are you determined out of the said ,scriptures to instruct the people committed to your charge1 and to teach nothing 7as required of necessity to eternal salvation7 but that which you shall be persuaded may be concluded and proved by the ,scripture8 ,answer4 ,i am so persuaded1 and have so determined by ,god's grace4 ,the ,bishop4 ,will you then give your faithful diligence always so to minister the doctrine and sacraments1 and the discipline of ,christ1 as the ,lord hath commanded1 and as this ,church hath received the same1 according to the commandments of ,god2 so that you may teach the people committed to your cure and charge with all diligence to keep and observe the same8 ,answer4 ,i will so do1 by the help of the ,lord4 ,the ,bishop4 ,will you be ready1 with all faithful diligence1 to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to ,god's ,word2 and to use both public and private monitions and exhortations1 as well to the sick as to the whole1 within your cures1 as need shall require1 and occasion shall be given8 ,answer4 ,i will1 the ,lord being my helper4 ,the ,bishop4 ,will you be diligent in prayers1 and in reading of the holy ,scriptures1 and in such studies as help to the knowledge of the same1 laying aside the study of the world and the flesh8 ,answer4 ,i will endeavour myself so to do1 the ,lord being my helper4 ,the ,bishop4 ,will you be diligent to frame and fashion your own selves1 and your families1 according to the doctrine of ,christ2 and to make both yourselves and them1 as much as in you lieth1 wholesome examples and patterns to the flock of ,christ8 ,answer4 ,i will apply myself thereto1 the ,lord being my helper4 ,the ,bishop4 ,will you maintain and set forwards1 as much as lieth in you1 quietness1 peace1 and love1 among all ,christian

perform the same2 that he may accomplish his work which he hath begun in you2 through ,jesus ,christ our ,lord4 ,amen4 ,after this1 the ,congregation shall be desired1 secretly in their prayers1 to

was made very ,man4 ,the ,son1 which is the ,word of the ,father1 begotten from everlasting of the ,father1 the very and eternal ,god1 and of one substance with the ,father1 took man's nature in the womb of the blessed ,virgin1 of her substance3 so that two whole and perfect ,natures1 that is to say1 the ,godhead and manhood1 were joined together in one ,person1 never to be divided1 whereof is one ,christ1 very ,god1 and very man2 who truly suffered1 was crucified1 dead and buried1 to reconcile his ,father to us1 and to be a sacrifice1 not only for original guilt1 but also for all actual

not read therein1 nor may be proved thereby1 is not to be required of any man1 that it should be believed as an article of the faith1 or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation4 ,in the name of the holy ,scripture we do understand those ,canonical ,books of the ,old and ,new ,testament1 of whose authority was never any doubt in the ,church4 ,of the ,names and ,number of the ,canonical

,book of ,esdras1 ,the ,song of the ,three ,children1 ,the ,book of ,tobias1 ,the ,story of ,susanna1 ,the ,book of ,judith1 ,of ,bel and the ,dragon1 ,the rest of the ,book of ,esther1 ,the ,prayer of ,manasses1 ,the ,book of ,wisdom1 ,the ,first ,book of ,maccabees1 ,jesus the ,son of ,sirach1 ,the ,second ,book of ,maccabees4 ,all the ,books of the ,new ,testament1 as they are commonly received1 we do receive1 and account them ,canonical4 ,,vii4 ,of the ,old ,testament4 ,the ,old ,testament is not contrary to the ,new3 for both in the ,old and ,new ,testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by ,christ1 who is the only ,mediator between ,god and man1 being both ,god and man4 ,wherefore they are not to be heard1 which feign that the old ,fathers did look only for transitory promises4 ,although the ,law given from ,god by ,moses1 as touching ,ceremonies and ,rites1 do not bind ,christian men1 nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any ,commonwealth2 yet notwithstanding1 no ,christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the ,commandments which are called ,moral4 ,,viii4 ,of the ,three ,creeds4 ,the ,three ,creeds1 ,nicene ,creed1 ,athanasius's ,creed1 and that which is commonly called the ,apostles ,creed1 ought thoroughly to be received and believed3 for they may be proved by most certain warrants of holy ,scripture4 ,,ix4 ,of ,original or ,birth-sin4 ,original ,sin standeth not in the following of ,adam1 7as the ,pelagians do vainly talk27 but it is the fault and corruption of the ,nature of every man1 that naturally is ingendered of the offspring of ,adam2 whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness1 and is of his own nature inclined to evil1 so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit2 and therefore in every person born into this world1 it deserveth ,god's wrath and damnation4 ,and this infection of nature doth remain1 yea in them that are regenerated2 whereby the lust of the flesh1 called in the ,greek1 phronema sarkos1 which some do expound the wisdom1 some sensuality1 some the affection1 some the desire1 of the flesh1 is not subject to the ,law of ,god4 ,and although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized1 yet the ,apostle doth confess1 that concupiscence and lust hath of itself the nature of sin4 ,x4 ,of ,free-,will4 ,the condition of man after the fall of ,adam is such1 that he cannot turn and prepare himself1 by his own natural strength and good works1 to faith1 and calling upon ,god3 ,wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to ,god1 without the grace of ,god by ,christ preventing us1 that we may have a good will1 and working with us1 when we have that good will4 ,,xi4 ,of the ,justification of ,man4 ,we are accounted righteous before ,god1 only for the merit of our ,lord and ,saviour ,jesus ,christ by faith1 and not for our own works or deservings3 ,wherefore1 that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine1 and very full of comfort1 as more largely is expressed in the ,homily of ,justification4 ,,xii4 ,of ,good ,works4 ,albeit that good works1 which are the fruits of faith1 and follow after ,justification1 cannot put away our sins1 and endure the severity of ,god's ,judgement2 yet are they pleasing and acceptable to ,god in ,christ1 and do spring out necessarily of a true and lively faith2 insomuch that by them a lively faith may be as evidently known as a tree discerned by the fruit4 ,,xiii4 ,of ,works before ,justification4 ,works done before the grace of ,christ1 and the inspiration of his ,spirit1 are not pleasant to ,god1 forasmuch as they spring not of faith in ,jesu ,christ1 neither do they make men meet to receive grace1 or 7as the ,school-authors say7 deserve grace of congruity3 yea rather1 for that they are not done as ,god hath willed and commanded them to be done1 we doubt not but they have the nature of sin4 ,,xiv4 ,of ,works of ,supererogation4 ,voluntary works besides1 over and above1 ,god's ,commandments1 which they call ,works of ,supererogation1 cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety3 for by them men do declare1 that they do not only render unto ,god as much as they are bound to do1 but that they do more for his sake1 than of bounden duty is required3 whereas ,christ saith plainly1 ,when ye have done all that are commanded to you1 say1 ,we be unprofitable servants4 ,,xv4 ,of ,christ alone without ,sin4 ,christ in the truth of our nature was made like unto us in all things1 sin only except1 from which he was clearly void1 both in his flesh1 and in his spirit4 ,he came to be the ,lamb without spot1 who1 by sacrifice of himself once made1 should take away the sins of the world1 and sin1 as ,saint ,john saith1 was not in him4 ,but all we the rest1 although baptized1 and born again in ,christ1 yet offend in many things2 and if we say we have no sin1 we deceive ourselves1 and the truth is not in us4 ,,xvi4 ,of ,sin after ,baptism4 ,not every deadly sin willingly committed after ,baptism is sin against the ,holy ,ghost1 and unpardonable4 ,wherefore the grant of repentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after ,baptism4 ,after we have received the ,holy ,ghost1 we may depart from grace given1 and fall into sin1 and by the grace of ,god we may arise again1 and amend our lives4 ,and therefore they are to be condemned1 which say1 they can no more sin as long as they live here1 or deny the place of forgiveness to such as truly repent4 ,,xvii4 ,of ,predestination and ,election4 ,predestination to life is the everlasting purpose of ,god1 whereby 7before the foundations of the world were laid7 he hath constantly decreed by his counsel secret to us1 to deliver from curse and damnation those whom he hath chosen in ,christ out of mankind1 and to bring them by ,christ to everlasting salvation1 as vessels made to honour4 ,wherefore1 they which be endued with so excellent a benefit of ,god be called according to ,god's purpose by his ,spirit working in due season3 they through grace obey the calling3 they be justified freely3 they be made sons of ,god by adoption3 they be made like the image of his only-begotten ,son ,jesus ,christ3 they walk religiously in good works1 and at length1 by ,god's mercy1 they attain to everlasting felicity4 ,as the godly consideration of predestination1 and our election in ,christ1 is full of sweet1 pleasant1 and unspeakable comfort to godly persons1 and such as feel in themselves the working of the ,spirit of ,christ1 mortifying the works of the flesh1 and their earthly members1 and drawing up their mind to high and heavenly things1 as well because it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal salvation to be enjoyed through ,christ1 as because it doth fervently kindle their love towards ,god3 ,so1 for curious and carnal persons1 lacking the ,spirit of ,christ1 to have continually before their eyes the sentence of ,god's predestination1 is a most dangerous downfal1 whereby the devil doth thrust them either into desperation1 or into wretchlessness of most unclean living1 no less perilous than desperation4 ,furthermore1 we must receive ,god's promises in such wise1 as they be generally set forth to us in holy ,scripture3 and1 in our doings1 that will of ,god is to be followed1 which we have expressly declared unto us in the ,word of ,god4 ,,xviii4 ,of obtaining eternal ,salvation only by the ,name of ,christ4 ,they also are to be had accursed that presume to say1 ,that every man shall be saved by the law or sect which he professeth1 so that he be diligent to frame his life according to that law1 and the light of nature4 ,for holy ,scripture doth set out unto us only the ,name of ,jesus ,christ1 whereby men must be saved4 ,,xix4 ,of the ,church4 ,the visible ,church of ,christ is a congregation of faithful men1 in the which the pure ,word of ,god is preached1 and the ,sacraments be duly ministered according to ,christ's ordinance in all those things that of necessity are requisite to the same4 ,as the ,church of ,jerusalem1 ,alexandria1 and ,antioch1 have erred2 so also the ,church of ,rome hath erred1 not only in their living and manner of ceremonies1 but also in matters of faith4 ,,xx4 ,of the ,authority of the ,church4 ,the ,church hath power to decree ,rites or ,ceremonies1 and authority in controversies of faith3 ,and yet it is not lawful for the ,church to ordain any thing that is contrary to ,god's ,word written1 neither may it so expound one place of ,scripture1 that it be repugnant to another4 ,wherefore1 although the ,church be a witness and a keeper of holy ,writ1 yet1 as it ought not to decree any thing against the same1 so besides the same ought it not to enforce any thing to be believed for necessity of salvation4 ,,xxi4 ,of the ,authority of ,general ,councils4 ,general ,councils may not be gathered together without the commandment and will of ,princes4 ,and when they be gathered together1 7forasmuch as they be an assembly of men1 whereof all be not governed with the ,spirit and ,word of ,god17 they may err1 and sometimes have erred1 even in things pertaining unto ,god4 ,wherefore things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority1 unless it may be declared that they be taken out of holy ,scripture4 ,,xxii4 ,of ,purgatory4 ,the ,romish doctrine concerning ,purgatory1 ,pardons1 ,worshipping and ,adoration1 as well of ,images as of ,reliques1 and also invocation of ,saints1 is a fond thing vainly invented1 and grounded upon no warranty of ,scripture1 but rather repugnant to the ,word of ,god4 ,,xxiii4 ,of ,ministering in the ,congregation4 ,it is not lawful for any man to take upon him the office of public preaching1 or ministering the ,sacraments in the ,congregation1 before he be lawfully called1 and sent to execute the same4 ,and those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent1 which be chosen and called to this work by men who have public authority given unto them in the ,congregation1 to call and send ,ministers into the ,lord's vineyard4 ,,xxiv4 ,of speaking in the ,congregation in such a tongue as the people understandeth4 ,it is a thing plainly repugnant to the ,word of ,god1 and the custom of the ,primitive ,church1 to have public ,prayer in the ,church1 or to minister the ,sacraments in a tongue not understanded of the people4 ,,xxv4 ,of the ,sacraments4 ,sacraments ordained of ,christ be not only badges or tokens of ,christian men's profession1 but rather they be certain sure witnesses1 and effectual signs of grace1 and ,god's goodwill towards us1 by the which he doth work invisibly in us1 and doth not only quicken1 but also strengthen and confirm our faith in him4 ,there are two ,sacraments ordained of ,christ our ,lord in the ,gospel1 that is to say1 ,baptism1 and the ,supper of the ,lord4 ,those five commonly called ,sacraments1 that is to say1 ,confirmation1 ,penance1 ,orders1 ,matrimony1 and ,extreme ,unction1 are not to be counted for ,sacraments of the ,gospel1 being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the ,apostles1 partly are states of life allowed in the ,scriptures2 but yet have not like nature of ,sacraments with ,baptism1 and the ,lord's ,supper1 for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of ,god4 ,the ,sacraments were not ordained of ,christ to be gazed upon1 or to be carried about1 but that we should duly use them4 ,and in such only as worthily receive the same they have a wholesome effect or operation3 but they that receive them unworthily purchase to themselves damnation1 as ,saint ,paul saith4 ,,xxvi4 ,of the ,unworthiness of the ,ministers1 which hinders not the effect of the ,sacrament4 ,although in the visible ,church the evil be ever mingled with the good1 and sometimes the evil have chief authority in the ministration of the ,word and ,sacraments1 yet forasmuch as they do not the same in their own name1 but in ,christ's1 and do minister by his commission and authority1 we may use their ,ministry1 both in hearing the ,word of ,god1 and in receiving of the ,sacraments4 ,neither is the effect of ,christ's ordinance taken away by their wickedness1 nor the grace of ,god's gifts diminished from such as by faith and rightly do receive the ,sacraments ministered unto them2 which be effectual1 because of ,christ's institution and promise1 although they be ministered by evil men4 ,nevertheless1 it appertaineth to the discipline of the ,church1 that inquiry be made of evil ,ministers1 and that they be accused by those that have knowledge of their offences2 and finally being found guilty1 by just judgement1 be deposed4 ,,xxvii4 ,of ,baptism4 ,baptism is not only a sign of profession1 and mark of difference1 whereby ,christian men are discerned from others that be not christened1 but it is also a sign of ,regeneration or new birth1 whereby1 as by an instrument1 they that receive ,baptism rightly are grafted into the ,church2 the promises of forgiveness of sin1 and of our adoption to be the sons of ,god by the ,holy ,ghost1 are visibly signed and sealed2 faith is confirmed1 and grace increased by virtue of prayer unto ,god4 ,the ,baptism of young children is in any wise to be retained in the ,church1 as most agreeable with the institution of ,christ4 ,,xxviii4 ,of the ,lord's ,supper4 ,the ,supper of the ,lord is not only a sign of the love that ,christians ought to have among themselves one to another2 but rather is a ,sacrament of our redemption by ,christ's death3 insomuch that to such as rightly1 worthily1 and with faith1 receive the same1 the bread which we break is a partaking of the ,body of ,christ2 and likewise the ,cup of ,blessing is a partaking of the ,blood of ,christ4 ,transubstantiation 7or the change of the substance of bread and wine7 in the ,supper of the ,lord1 cannot be proved by holy ,writ2 but is repugnant to the plain words of ,scripture1 overthroweth the nature of a ,sacrament1 and hath given occasion to many superstitions4 ,the ,body of ,christ is given1 taken1 and eaten1 in the ,supper1 only after an heavenly and spiritual manner4 ,and the mean whereby the ,body of ,christ is received and eaten in the ,supper is faith4 ,the ,sacrament of the ,lord's ,supper was not by ,christ's ordinance reserved1 carried about1 lifted up1 or worshipped4 ,,xxix4 ,of the ,wicked which eat not the ,body of ,christ in the use of the ,lord's ,supper4 ,the wicked1 and such as be void of a lively faith1 although they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth 7as ,saint ,augustine saith7 the ,sacrament of the ,body and ,blood of ,christ1 yet in no wise are they partakers of ,christ3 but rather to their condemnation do eat and drink the sign or ,sacrament of so great a thing4 ,,xxx4 ,of both kinds4 ,the ,cup of the ,lord is not to be denied to the ,lay-people3 for both the parts of the ,lord's ,sacrament1 by ,christ's ordinance and commandment1 ought to be ministered to all ,christian men alike4 ,,xxxi4 ,of the one ,oblation of ,christ finished upon the ,cross4 ,the ,offering of ,christ once made is that perfect redemption1 propitiation1 and satisfaction1 for all the sins of the whole world1 both original and actual2 and there is none other satisfaction for sin1 but that alone4 ,wherefore the sacrifices of ,masses1 in the which it was commonly said1 that the ,priests did offer ,christ for the quick and the dead1 to have remission of pain or guilt1 were blasphemous fables1 and dangerous deceits4 ,,xxxii4 ,of the ,marriage of ,priests4 ,bishops1 ,priests1 and ,deacons1 are not commanded by ,god's ,law1 either to vow the estate of single life1 or to abstain from marriage4 ,therefore it is lawful for them1 as for all other ,christian men1 to marry at their own discretion1 as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness4 ,,xxxiii4 ,of excommunicate ,persons1 how they are to be avoided4 ,that person which by open denunciation of the ,church is rightly cut off from the unity of the ,church1 and excommunicated1 ought to be taken of the whole multitude of the faithful1 as an ,heathen and ,publican1 until he be openly reconciled by penance1 and received into the ,church by a judge that hath authority thereunto4 ,,xxxiv4 ,of the ,traditions of the ,church4 ,it is not necessary that ,traditions and ,ceremonies be in all places one1 and utterly like2 for at all times they have been divers1 and may be changed according to the diversities of countries1 times1 and men's manners1 so that nothing be ordained against ,god's ,word4 ,whosoever through his private judgement1 willingly and purposely1 doth openly break the ,traditions and ,ceremonies of the ,church1 which be not repugnant to the ,word of ,god1 and be ordained and approved by common authority1 ought to be rebuked openly1 7that others may fear to do the like17 as he that offendeth against the common order of the ,church1 and hurteth the authority of the ,magistrate1 and woundeth the consciences of the weak brethren4 ,every particular or national ,church hath authority to ordain1 change1 and abolish1 ,ceremonies or ,rites of the ,church ordained only by man's authority1 so that all things be done to edifying4 ,,xxxv4 ,of the ,homilies4 ,the second ,book of ,homilies1 the several titles whereof we have joined under this ,article1 doth contain a godly and wholesome doctrine1 and necessary for these times1 as doth the former ,book of ,homilies1 which were set forth in the time of ,edward the ,sixth2 and therefore we judge them to be read in ,churches by the ,ministers1 diligently and distinctly1 that they may be understanded of the people4 ,of the ,names of the ,homilies4 #a ,of the right ,use of the ,church4 #aj ,of the reverend estimation of #b ,against peril of ,idolatry4 ,god's ,word4 #c ,of

of ,priests and ,deacons1 lately set forth in the time of ,edward the ,sixth1 and confirmed at the same time by authority of ,parliament1 doth contain all things necessary to such ,consecration and ,ordering3 neither hath it any thing1 that of itself is superstitious and ungodly4 ,and therefore whosoever are consecrated or ordered according to the ,rites of that ,book1 since the second year of the forenamed ,king ,edward unto this time1 or hereafter shall be consecrated or ordered according to the same ,rites1 we decree all such to be rightly1 orderly1 and lawfully consecrated and ordered4 ,,xxxvii4 ,of the ,civil ,magistrates4 ,the ,king's ,majesty hath the chief power in this ,realm of ,england1 and other his ,dominions1 unto whom the chief government of all ,estates of this ,realm1 whether they be ,ecclesiastical or ,civil1 in all causes doth appertain1 and is not1 nor ought to be1 subject to any foreign jurisdiction4 ,where we attribute to the ,king's ,majesty the chief government1 by which titles we understand the minds of some slanderous folks to be offended2 we give not to our ,princes the ministering either of ,god's ,word1 or of the ,sacraments1 the which thing the ,injunctions also lately set forth by ,elizabeth our ,queen do most plainly testify2 but that only prerogative1 which we see to have been given always to all godly ,princes in holy ,scriptures by
