THE PREFACE.

"?T HATH BEEN THE WISDOM OF THE CHURCH OF
ENGLAND, EVER SINCE THE FIRST COMPILING OF
HER PUBLICK LITURGY, TO KEEP THE MEAN BE-
.TWEEN THE TWO EXTREMES, OF TOO MUCH STIFF-
NESS IN REFUSING,AND OF TOO MUCH EASINESS
IN ADMITTING ANY VARIATION FROM IT. FOR, AS ON
THE ONE SIDE COMMON EXPERIENCE SHEWETH,
THAT WHERE A CHANGE HATH BEEN MADE OF
THINGS ADVISEDLY ESTABLISHED (NO EVIDENT
NECESSITY SO REQUIRING) SUNDRY INCONVEN-
IENCES HAVE THEREUPON ENSUED; AND THOSE
MANY TIMES MORE AND GREATER THAF THE EVILS,
THAT WERE INTENDED TO BE REMEDIED BY SUCH
CHANGE: SO ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE PARTICU-
LAR FORMS OF DIVINE WORSHIP, AND THE RITES
AND CEREM°NIES APPOINTED T° BE USED THERE-
IN, BEING THINGS IN THEIR OWN NATURE INDIF-
FERENT, AND ALTERABLE, AND SO ACKNOWLEDG-
ED; IT IS BUT REASONABLE, THAT UPON WEIGHTY
AND IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS, ACCORDING TO THE VARIOUS EXIG-
ENCY OF TIMES AND OCCASIONS, SUCH CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS
SHOULD BE MADE THEREIN, AS TO THOSE THAT ARE IN PLACE OF AUTH-
ORITY SHOULD FROM TIME TO TIME SEEM EITHER NECESSARY OR EXPE-
DIENT. ACCORDINGDT WE FIND, THAT IV THE REIGNS OF SEVERAL PRINCES
OF BLESSED MEMORY SINCE THE REFORMATION, THE CHURCH UPON
JUST AND WEIGHTY CONSIDERATIONS HER THEREUNTO MOVING, HATH
YIELDED TO MAKE SUCH ALTERATIONS IN SOME PARTICULARS, AS IN
THEIR RESPECTIVE TIMES WERE TH°UGHT C°NVENIENT : YET SO, AS THAT
THE MAIN BODY AND ESSENTIALS OF IT (AS WELL IN THE CHIEFEST MA-
TERIALS AS IN THE FRAME AND ORDER THEREOF) HAVE STILL CONTINU-
ED THE SAME UNTO THIS DAY, AND DO YET STAND FIRM AND UNSHAKEN,
NOTWITHSTANDING ALL THE VAIN ATTEMPTS AND IMPETUOUS ASSAULTS
MADE AGAINST IT, BY SUCH MEN AS ARE GIVEN TO CHANGE, AND HAVE AL-
WAYS DISCOVERED A GREATER REGARD TO THEIR OWN PRIVATE FANCIES
AND INTERESTS, THAN TO THAT DUTY THEY OWE TO THE PUBLICK.
YS Y WHAT UNDUE MEANS, AND FOR WHAT MISCHIEVOUS PURPOSES THE
KJ USE OF THE LITURGY (TH°UGH ENJOINED BY THE LAWS OF THE LAND,
AND THOSE LAWS NEVER YET REPEALED) CAME, DURING THE LATE UN-
HAPPY CONFUSIONS, TO BE DISCONTINUED, IS TOO WELL KNOWN TO THE
WORLD, AND WE ARE NOT WILLING HERE TO REMEMBER. BUT WHEN, UP-
ON HIS MAJESTY'S HAPPY RESTORATION, IT SEEMED PROBABLE, THAT, A-
MONGST OTHER THINGS, THE USE OF THE LITURGY ALSO W°ULD RETURN
OF COURSE (THE SAME HAVING NEVER BEEN LEGALLY ABOLISHED) UN-
LESS SOME TIMELY MEANS WERE USED TO PREVENT IT; THOSE MEN, WHO
UNDER THE LATE USURPED POWERS HAD MADE IT A GREAT PART OF THEIR
BUSINESS TO RENDER THE PEOPLE DISAFFECTED THEREUNTO, SAW
THEMSELVES IN POINT OF REPUTATION AND INTEREST CONCERNED (UN-
LESS THEY WOULD FREELY ACKNOWLEDGE THEMSELVES TO HAVE ERR-
ED, WHICH SUCH MEN ARE VERY HARDLY BROUGHT TO DO) WITH THEIR
UTMOST ENDEAVOURS TO HINDER THE RESTITUTION THEREOF. IN OR-
DER WHEREUNTO DIVERS PAMPHLETS WERE PUBLISHED AGAINST THE
BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER, THE OLD OBJECTIONS MUSTERED UP, WITH
THE ADDITION OF SOME NEW ONES, MORE THAN FORMERLY HAD BEEN
6

HADE, TO MAKE THE NUMBER SWELL. IN FINE, GREAT IHPORTUNITIES
WERE USED TO HIS SACRED MAJESTY, THAT THE SAID BOOK MIGHT BE RE-
VISED, AND SUCH ALTERATIONS THEREIN. AND ADDITIONS THEREUNTO
MADE, AS SHOULD BE THOUGHT REQUISITE FOR THE EASE OF TENDER
CONSCIENCES: WHEREUNTO HIS MAJESTY, OUT OF HIS PIOUS INCLINA-
TION TO GIVE SATISFACTION (SO FAR AS COULD BE REASONABLY EXPECT-
ED) TO ALL HIS SUBJECTS OF WHAT PERSUASION SOEVER, DID GRACIOUS-
LY CONDESCEND.

IN WHICH REVIEW WE HAVE ENDEAVOURED TO OBSERVE THE LIKE MO-
DERATION, AS WE FIND TO HAVE BEEN USED IN THE LIKE CASE IN FOR-
MER TIMES. AND THEREFORE OF THE SUNDRY ALTERATIONS PROPOSED
UNTO US f WE HAVE REJECTED ALL SUCH AS WERE EITHER OF DANGER-
OUS CONSEQUENCE (AS SECRETDT STRIKING AT SOME ESTABLISHED DOC-
TRINE, °R LAUDABLE PRACTICE OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, °R INDEED
OF THE WHOLE CATHOLICK CHURCH OF CHRIST) OR ELSE OF NO CONSE-
QUENCE AT ALL, BUT UTTERLY FRD/OLOUS AND VAIN. BUT SUCH ALTER-
ATPNS AS WERE TENDERED TO US,(BY WHAT PERS°NS, UNDER WHAT PRE-
TENCES, OR TO WHAT PURPOSE SOEVER TENDERED) AS SEEMED TO US IN
ANY DEGREE REQUISITE °R EXPEDIENT, WE HAVE WILLINGDT, AND OF OUR
OWN ACC°RD ASSENTED UNT°: N°T ENFRCED SO TO DO BY ANY STRENGTH
OF ARGUMENT, CONVINCING US OF THE NECESSITY OF MAKING THE SAID
ALTERATIONS: FOR WE ARE FULDT PERSUADED IN OUR JUDGMENTS (AND
WE HERE PROFESS IT TO THE WORLD) THAT THE BOOK, AS IT STOOD BE-
FORE ESTABLISHED BY LAW, DOTH NOT CONTAIN IN IT ANY THING CON-
TRARY TO THE WORD OF GOD, OR TO SOUND DOCTRINE, OR WHICH A GOD-
LY MAN MAY NOT WITH A GOOD CONSCIENCE USE AND SUBMIT UNTO, OR
WHICH IS N°T FAIRDT DEFENSIBLE AGAINST ANY THAT SHALL OPPOSE THE
SAME, IF IT SHALL BE ALI2WED SUCH JUST AND FAVOURABLE CONSTRUC-
TION AS IN COMMON EQUITY OUGHT TO BE ALLOWED TO ALL HUMAN WRIT-
INGS, ESPECIALLY SUCH AS ARE SET FORTH BY AUTHORITY, AND EVEN TO
THE VERY BEST TRANSLATIONS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE ITSELF.

OUR GENERAL AIM THEREFORE IN THIS UNDERTAKING WAS, NOT TO
GRATIFY THIS °R THAT PARTY IF ANY THEIR UNREAS°NABLE DEMAFDSj
BUT TO DO THAT, WHICH TO OUR BEST UNDERSTANDINGS WE CONCEIVED
MIGHT MOST TEND TO THE PRESERVATION OF PEACE AND UNITY IN THE
CHURCH,THE PROCURING OF REVERENCE, AND EXCITING OF PIETY AND

IT SHALL SUFFICE TO GIVE THIS GENERAL ACCOUNT, THAT MOST OF THE

OF THEM THAT ARE TO OFFICIATE IF ANY PART OF DIVINE SERVICE: WHICH

CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF THE

HERE was never any
thing by the wit of
rpaij so well devised,
or so sure established,
wbicb ipcoptipuarjcG
of tirpc bath not been
corrupted: as, among
otber things, it may
plainly appear by the
Common Prayers it)
the Church, comnjonb/ called Divine Ser-
vice. Tbe first original and ground wbereof
if a ajar) would searcbout by the a racier? t Fa*
tbers, be sball find, tbat tbe same was pot or*
daiped but of a good purpose, and for a great
advancement of godliness. For they so or*
dered tbe matter, tbat all tbe whole Bible,(or
the greatest part tbereof, ) should be read over
once every year; intending thereby, tbat the
Clergy, and especially such as were Minis*
ters in the congregation, should (by often
reading, and meditation in God's word) be
stirred up to godliness themselves, and be
more able to exhort others by wholesome
doctrine, and to confute then? that were ad*
yersaries to the truth; and further, that the
people (by daib/ bearing of holy Scripture
read in the Church) might continually pro*
fit more and more in the knowledge of God,
and be the more inflamed with the love of his
true religion.

YHI LIT these many years passed, this godh/
Kj and decent order of the ancient Fathers
hath been so altered, broken; and neglected,
by planting ip uncertain stories,and legends,
with multitude of responds, verses, vain re*
petitions, commemorations, and synodals;
that cornmonh/ when any book of the Bible
was begun, after three or four chapters were
read out, all the rest were unread. And in this
sort the book of Isaiah was begun in Advent,
and the book of Genesis in Septuagesinjaj
but they were onb/ begun, and never read
through : after like sort were other books of
holy Scripture used. And tnoreover, where*
as St. Paul would have such language spoken
to the people in the Church, as they might
understand, and have profit by hearing the
same j the service in this Church of England
these many years hath been read in Latin to
the people, which they understand notj so
that they have beard with their ears onjy, and
their heart, spirit, and rnind, have not been

CHURCH.

edified thereby. And furtberinore, notwith-
standing that the ancient Fathers have div*
ided the Psalms into seven portions, whereof
every one was called a Nocturn : Now of late
tiipe a few of then? baye been daib/ said, and
the rest utterly omitted. Moreover, the num-
ber and hardness of the rules called the Pie,
and the manifold changings of the seryice,
was the cause, that to turn the book onb/ was
so bard & intricate a matter, that many times
there was more business to find out what
should be read, than to read it when it was
found out.

THESE inconveniences therefore consid*
ered, here is set forth such an order,
whereby the same shall be redressed. And
for a readiness in this matter, here is drawn
out a Calendar for that purpose, which is
plain and easy to be understood; wherein (so
much as may be) the reading of holy Scrip*
ture is so set forth, that all things shall be
done in order, without breaking one piece
from another. For this cause be cut off An*
tbems, Responds, Invitatories, and such like
things as did break the continual course of
the reading of the Scripture.

YET, because there is no remedy, but that
of necessity there must be some Rules j
therefore certain Rules are here set forth;
which, as they are few in number, so they are
plain and easy to be understood. So that here
you have an Order for Prayer, and for the
reading of the bob/ Scripture, much agree*
able to the xt)ii)d and purpose of the old Fa*
tbers, and a great deal more profitable and
commodious, than that which of late was
used. It is more profitable, because here are
left out many things, whereof some are un*
true, some uncertain, some v ain & superstiti*
ous; and nothing is ordained to be read, but
the very pure Word of God, the boh/" Scrip*
tures, or that which is agreeable to the same;
and that in such a language and order as is
most easy and plain for the understanding
both of the readers 8? hearers. It is also more
commodious, both for the shortness thereof,
and for the plainness of the order, and for that
the r ules be few and easy.
*"B[ ND whereas heretofore there hath been
j\ great diversity in saying and singing W
Churches within this Realm; some follow*
ing Salisbury use, some Hereford use, and
some the use of Bangor, some of York, some

of Lincoln; now from henceforth all the
whole Realm shall have but orjo use.
*E[ND forasmuch as nothing cap be so
J\ plainly set forth, but doubts may arise
in the use arjdpracticeoffhe same ; to appease
all such diversity (if any arise) and for the
resolution of all doubts, concern in g five man-
ner how to understand, do. and execute, the
things contained in this Book; the parties
that so doubt,ordivers}y take any tbing,shall
alway resort to the Bishop of five Diocese, who
by his discretion shall take order for the
quieting and appeasing of the same j so that
the same order be not contrary to any thing
contained in this Book. And if the Bishop of
the Diocese be in doubt, then be may send
for the resolution thereof to the Archbishop.

THOUGH it be appointed, that all things
shall be read and sung in the Church in

the English Tongue, to the end that the con-
gregation may be thereby edified; yet it is
not meant, but that when n>en say Morning
and Evening Prayer privateh/, they may say
the san?e in any language that they tbem-
selves do understand.

"HND all Priests and Deacons are to say
J\ daily five Morning and Evening Prayer
either privately or openly, not being let by
sickness, or some other urgent cause.
*T3[ ND the Curate that ministeretb in ev-
JY cry Parish-Church or Chapel, being at
borne, and not being otherwise reasonably
hindered, shall say the sarpe in the Parish-
Church or Chapel where be ministeretb, and
shall cause a Bell to be tolled thereunto a con-
venient tiine before be begin, that the people
may cotne to bear God's Word, and to pray
with bin?.

OF CEREMONIES, WHY SOME BE ABOLISHED, AND SOME RETAINED.

OF such Ceremonies as be used in the
Church, & have had their beginning by
the institution of rnan, sorne at the first were
of godJy intents purpose devised, and yet at
length turned to vanity ffi superstition : some
entered into five Church by undiscreet deyo-
tion, and such a zeal as was without know-
ledge; and for because they were winked at
in the beginning, they grew daijy to rnore
and more abuses, which not only f° r their
unprofitableness, but also because they have
much blinded the people, and obscured the
glory of God, are worthy to be cut away, and
clean rejected : oftver ftvere be, which although
they have been devised by man, yet it is
thought good to reserve then? still, as well for
a decent order in the Church, (for five which
they were first devised) as because they per-
tain to edification, wbereunto all things done
in the Cburcb(as five Apostle teacbetb) ought
to be referred.

~~B ND although five keeping or omitting of
/la Ceremony, in itself considered, is but
a small thing; yet the wilful and conternptu-
ous transgression and breakingofacommon
order and discipline is no small offence be-
fore God, Let all things be done axnong you,
saitb Saint Paul, in a seexnh/ and due order:
the appointment of the which order pertain-
etb not to private men; therefore no man

ought to take in band, nor presume to appoint
to

or alter any publick or common order in
Christ's Church, except he be lawfully call-
ed and authorized thereunto.
"B ND whereas in this our time, the minds
J\ of men are so diyerse,tbat some think it
a great matter of conscience to depart from a
piece of five least of their Ceremonies, they be
so addicted to their old customs; and again
on the other side, some be so new-fangled,
that they would innovate all things, and so
despise the old, that nothing can like them,
but that is new : it was thought expedient, not
so much to have respect how to please and
satisfy either of these parties, as how to please
God, and profit them both. And yet lest any
man should be offended, whom good reason
might satisfy, here be certain causes render-
ed, why some of the accustomed Ceremonies
be put away, £ some retained and kept still.

SOME are put away, because five great ex-
cess and multitude of them hath so in-
creased in these latter days, that the burden
of them was intolerable; whereof St. Augus-
tine in his time complained, that they were
grown to such a number, that the estate of
Christian people was in worse case concern-
ing that matter, than were the Jews. And he
counselled that such yoke 82 burden should
be taken away, as time would serve quietb/
to do it. But what would St. Augustine have
said, if be bad seen the Ceremonies of late

days used arpopg us; wbereupto the rpulti-
tude used ip bis tirpe was pot to be corppared ?
This our excessive rpultitude of Cererpopies
was so great, apd rpapy of then? so dark, that
they did rpore copfoupd apd darkep, tpap
declare apd set forth Christ's benefits uptq
us. Apd besides tbis, Christ's Gospel is pot a
Cererpopial Law (as rpucb of Moses' Law
was,) but it is a religiop to serve God, pot ip
bondage of tbe figure or shadow, but ip the
ireedorp of the Spirit; beipg coptept opjy
with those Cereipopies which do serve to a
decept order apd god^y disciplipe, apd such
as be apt to stir up the dull rpipd of ipap to
the rerperpbrapce of pis duty to God,by soipe
potable apd special sigpificatiop, whereby
he ipight be edified. Furthenpore, the rpost
weighty cause of the abolisprpept of certaip
Cereipopies was,tbat {hey were so far abused,
partly ky ^> c superstitious blipdpess of the
rude apd uplearped, apd partly by the up*
satiable avarice of such as sought rpore their
owp lucre, tpap the glory of God, that the
abuses could pot well be takep away, the
tpipg reipaipipg still.

Y^IUT pow as copcerpipg those persops,
JO which peradvepture will be offepded,
for that soipe of the old Cereipopies are re-
taiped still: If they copsider that without
soipe Cereipopies it is pot possible to keep
apy Order,or quiet Disciplipe ip the Church,
they shall easily perceive just cause to refonp
their judgipepts. Apd if they tpipk rpucb,
that apy of five old do reipaip, apd would ra~
tper paye all devised apew : tbep such rpep
graptipg soipe Cereipopies copyepiept to be

pad, surety where the old ipay be well used,
tpere they cappotreasopably reprove the old
oply for tpeir age, without be wrayipg of their
owp folly. For ip such a case they ought ra-
ther to have reverepceupto thorp for tbeirap-
tiquity,if they will declare tberpselvcs to be
rpore studious of upity apd copcord, tpap of
ippovatiops apd pew~fapglepess, which (as
rpucb as rpay be with the true settipg forth of
Christ's religiop) is always to be eschewed.
Furthenpore, such shall have po just cause
with the Cereipopies reserved to be offepded.
For as those be takep away which were ipost
abused, apd did burdep ipep's copsciepces
without apy cause; so the other that rerpaip,
are retaiped for a disciplipe apd order, which
(upop just causes) rpay be altered 82 cpapged,
apd therefore are pot to be esteerped equal
with God's law. Apd rporeover,tbey be pei~
ther dark por durpb Cereipopies, but are so
set forth; that every rpap rpay upderstapd
what they do rpeap, apd to what use they do
serve. So that it is pot like that they ip tirpe
to corpe should be abused as other have beep.
Apd ip these our doipgs we copderpp po other
patiops, por prescribe apy tpipg but to our
owp people op^y : for we tpipk it copyepiept
that every couptry should use such Cereipo-
pies as they spall tpipk best to tpe settipg
forth of God's popour apd glory, apd to tpe
reducipg of the people to a ipost perfect apd
god}y livipg, without error or superstitiop;
apd that tb^y should put away other tbipgs,
which frorp tirpe to tirpe they perceive to be
ipost abused, as ip rpep's ordipapces it oftep
cpapcetb diyersjy ip divers couptries.

EARLY beloved brethren, the Scripture
movctb us ir> sundry places to acknow-
ledge and confess our manifold sins and
wickedness; and that wo sbould not dis-
semble nor cloke tbem before the face of
Almighty God our heavenly Father; but
confess them with an humble, loudly, pe-
nitent, and obedient heart; to the end that
we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by
his infinite goodness and mercy. And al-
though u)e ought at all times humbly to
acknowledge our sins before God; yet
ought u>e most chiefly so to do, when u>e assemble and moot together
to render thanks for the groat benefits that u>c have received at his
hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hoar his most holy Word,
and to ask those things which arc requisite and necessary, as well for
the body as the soul. Wherefore I prayand beseech you, as many as are
here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice,
unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after mo ;
A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation after the
Minister, all kneoling.

LHIGHTYand most merciful Fathor; Wo havo orred,S strayed
from thy ways like lost sheep. We havo followed too much tho
devices & desires of our own hearts. Wo have offended against

dono ; And wo have done thoso things which wo ought not to have done ;
And thoro is no hoalth in us. But thou, O Lord, have morcy upon us,
miserable offenders. Spare thou thorn, O God, which confess their
faults. Rcstoro thou thorn that are ponitont ; Accordingto thy promises
declared unto mankind in Christ Josu our Lord. And grant, O most
merciful Fathor, for his sake; That wo may horoaftor livo a godly,
righteous, and sober life, Co tho glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pronouncod by the Priest

^Qfl (1LHIGHCY God, tho Fathor of our Lord Jesus Christ, who do-
^fsjK siroth not tho death of a sinner, but rather that ho may turn

mandment, to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people,

Here ondeth the Order of Evoning Prayer throughout tho Yoar.

AT MORNING PRAYER.

Upon these Feasts; Christmas-day, the Epiphany, Saint Matthias,
Easter-day, Ascension-day, Whit-Sunday, Saint John Baptist, Saint
James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Matthew, Saint Simon and Saint
Judo, Saint Andrew, and upon Trinity-Sunday, shall be sung or said
at Horning Prayer, instead of the Apostles* Creed, this Confession of
ourChristianFaith,commonlycalledTheCreedof Saint Athanasius,
by the Minister and people standing.

-^fi^r:

WHOSOEVER will bo saued : before all things it is necessary that
ho hold the Catholick Faith.
Which Faith except cvory ono do keep whole and undofilod : without
doubt he shall porish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this : That wo worship ono God in Trinity,
and Trinity in Unity;

Noithor confounding the Persons : nor dividing the Substance
For thero is ono Porson of the Fathor, another of tho Son : and another
oftho Holy Ghost.

But the Godhead of tho Father, of the Son, & of tho Holy Ghost, is all
ono : the Glory equal, the Majesty co-etornal.
Such as tho Fathor is, such is the Son : and such is the Holy Ghost.
Tho Fathor uncroato,the Son uncroato : and tho Holy Ghost uncroato.
Tho Fathor incomprehensible, tho Son incomprehensible : and tho
Holy Ghost incomprehensible
66

Che Father eternal, the Son eternal : and the Holy Ghost eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals : but one eternal.
As also there are not throe incomprcbonsiblcs, nor three uncreated;
but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty : and the Holy
Ghost Almighty.

And yet they are not throe Almighties : but ono Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God : and the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are not throe Gods : but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord : and the Holy Ghost
Lord.

And yet not throe Lords : but ono Lord.

For like as we are compellodby the Christian verity : to acknowledge
CDory Porson by himself to bo God and Lord;

So aro we forbidden by the Catholick Religion : tosay,Thore bo threo
Gods, or threo Lords.

Che Father is made of none : neithor created, nor begotten.
Che Son is of the Father alone : not made, nor created, but begotten.
Che Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son : neither made, nor
created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not throe Fathers ; ono Son, not threo Sons : ono
Holy Ghost, not threo Holy Ghosts.

And in this Trinity none is aforo, or after other : none is groator, or loss
thananothor;

But the whole threo Persons are co-etornal together : and co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforosaid : tho Unity in Trinity, and the Tri-
nity in Unity is to bo worshipped.

Ho tborcforo that will be saved : must thus think of tho Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation : that he also be-
lieve rightly tho Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For tho rightFaith is, that wo beliove and confess : that our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God, of tho Substance of tho Father, begotten before tho worlds : and
Man, of tho Substance of his Mother, born in tho world;
Perfect God, and perfect Man : of a reasonable soul and human flesh
subsisting;

Equal to tho Father, as touching his Godhoad : and inferior to tho
Father, as touching his Manhood.
Who although ho bo God and Man : yot ho is not two, but ono Christ;

f2 67

Odq; not byconversion of tbo Godboad ir>to flcsb : but by taking of

tbQ Manhood into God;

Ono altogetbor ; not by confusion of Substance : but by unity of Porson.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man : so God and Han is

oncCbrist;

Who suffered for our salvation : descended into boll, rosQ again tbo

tbird day from tbo dead.

He ascendod into beavon, bo sittctb on tbo rigbt band of tbo Fatbor,

God Almigbty : fromtobenco bo sball come to judgo the quick and tbo

dead.

At tvbosc coming all men sball rise again ivitbtbeir bodies : and sball

give account for tbeir ou>n u)orks.

And tbey tbat bavo done good sball go into life everlasting : and tboy

that bavo done evil into everlasting fire.

Cbis is tbeCatbolickFaitb : tvbicb except a man believe faitbfully,bo

cannot be saved.

Glory bo to tbo Fatbor, and to tbo Son : and to tbo Holy Gbost ;

As it urns in tbo beginning, is now, and over sball be : world tvitbout

end. Amen.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mys-
teries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though
I bestou) all my goods to food the poor, and though I give my body to
bo burned, and have not charity, it profitoth mo nothing. Charity
sufforoth long, and is kind; charity enuietb not; charity vauntotb not
itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itsolf unseemly, sookoth not
her own, is not easily provoked, thinkoth no evil, ro joicoth not in ini-
quity, but rojoicoth in tho truth; boaroth all things, bolicvotb all
things, hopoth all things, enduroth all things. Charity never failetb:
but whether there bo prophecies, they shall fail; whether there bo
tongues, they shall cease; whether thoro be knowlcdgo, it shall va-
nish away. For wo know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when
that which is perfect is como,thon that which is in part shall bo done
away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child; but when I bocame a man, I put away childish
things. For now wo seo through a glass darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know oven as also I am known.

CHE GOSPEL. S. MATT. XXVII. u

WHEN tho morning u>as come, all tho chief priests ffi eldors of tho
pooplo took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death. And
u)hen thoy had bound him, they lod him au)ay, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate tho governour. Chen Judas who had botrayod him,
u>hon ho sau> that ho urns condemned, ropontod himself, and brought
again tho thirty piocos of silver to tho chiof priests and eldors, saying,
I have sinnod, in that I have botrayod tho innocent blood. And they
said, What is that to us 7 scq thou to that. And ho cast dou>n tho piocos
of silvor in the tomplo, and departed, and went and banged himself.
And tho chief priests took tho silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful
for to put them into tho treasury, because it is the price of blood. And
thoy took counsol, and bought with them tho potter's field, to bury
strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto
this day. (Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Joremy tho
prophet, saying, And they took tho thirty piocos of silver, the price of
him that was valued, whom they of tho children of Israel did value,
and gave thorn for tho potter's field, as tho Lord appointed mo.) And
Jesus stood boforo tho governour ; and tho govemour asked him, say-
ing, Art thou tho King of tho Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Chou
sayest. And when he was accused of tho chief priests and eldors, he

answcrod notbing. Cbon saitb Pilato unto him, Hcarost tbou not bow
roany tbings tboy witnoss against tbco? And bo ansujorod biro to

bavo suffered roany tbings tbis day in a dream because of biro. But
tbo cbief priests ffi elders persuaded tbo multitude tbat tboy sbould
ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. Tbo govornour answered and said
unto tbero, Wbotbor of tbo twain will ye tbat I reloaso unto you? Cbey

nocent of tbo blood of tbis just person : see ye to it. Cbon answorod all
tbo pooplo, and said, His blood bo on us, and on our cbildren. Tbon
released bo Barabbas unto tboro: and wbon bo bad scourged Jesus
bo delivered biro to bo crucified. Cbon tbo soldiers of tbo gouornour
took Jesus into tbo cororoon ball, and gatbored unto biro tbo wbolo

fore biro, and roocked biro, saying, Hail, King of tbo Jews. And tboy

after tbat tboy bad roocked biro tboy took tbo robe off froro biro, and
put bis own raiment on biro, and lod biro away to crucify biro. And
as tboy caroo out tboy found a roan of Cyrono, Siroon by naroo ; biro
tboy compelled to boar bis cross. And wbon tboy wore como unto a

pbot, Cbey parted roy garments among tboro, and upon roy vesture
i2 "5

did they cast lots. And sitting down they watched him there; and set
up over his head his accusation written, CHIS IS JESUS CHE KING
OF CHE JEWS. Then u>crc there tu)o thiouos crucified with him ; one
on the right hand, and another on the loft. And they that passed by
reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Thou that dostroyost
the temple, and buildcst it in throe days, save thyself : if thou bo the
Son of God, como down from the cross. Likou>isc also tho chief priests
mocking bim,u>itb tho scribos and elders, said, Ho saved others, him-
self ho cannot save: if ho bo tho King of Israel, lot him nou> como
dou>n from tho cross, and u>e u>ill believe him. Ho trusted in God; lot
him deliver him nou), if ho will have him: for ho said, I am tho Son
of God. Tho tbioves also, which u>oro crucified with him, cast tho samo
in his tooth. Now from tho sixth hour thoro was darkness over all the
land unto the ninth hour. And about tho ninth hour Josus cried with
a loud voico, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mo? Some of thorn that stood
thoro, whon they hoard that, said, Chis man calloth for Elias. And
straightway ono of them ran, and took a spungo, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a rood, and gavo him to drink. Tho rost said,
Lot be, lot us soo whothor Elias will como to save him. Josus, when
ho had cried again with a loud voice, yioldod up the ghost. And bo-
hold, tho vail of the tomplo was rent in twain from tho top to tho bot-
tom, and the earth did quake, and tho rocks rent, and tho graves wore
opened, and many bodies of saints which slept arose, and came out
of tho grat)os after his resurrection, and went into tho holy city, and
appeared unto many. Now when tho centurion, and thoy that wore
with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that
wero done, thoy feared greatly, saying, Cruly this was tho Son of

otborwiso it is of no strengtb at all wbilst tbe testator livetb. Wboro-

wben Hoses bad spoken ovcry precept to all tbe people, according to

no remission. It was tberofore nocessary tbat tbo patterns of tbings in

brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal
life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he

because u>c keep his cotnmandments, and do those things that are

of God in Christ, the Law, which was four hundred and thirty years
aftor, cannot disannul, that it should make tho promise of non<2 effoct.
For if the inheritance bo of th<2 Law, it is no moro of promiso; but
God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then sorueth tho Law?
It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come, to
whom the promiso u>as made; and it u>as ordainod by angels in tho
hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of ono ; but God
is one. Is tho Lau> then against tho promises of God? God forbid: for
if thoro had boon a lau) giuon u>bicb could hauo giuon lifo, verily
rightoousnoss should hauo boon by tho Law. But tho Scripture hath
concluded all undor sin, that tho promiso by faith of Josus Christ
might bo given to thorn that believe.

ye u>crc of the world, the world would louo his ou>r> : but because ye
are not of the world, but I hauo chosen you out of the world, there-
fore the world hatoth you. Remember the word that I said unto you,
The soruant is not greater than the lord: if they hauo persecuted mo,
they will also porsocuto you; if thoy have kopt my saying, they will
koep your's also. But all those things will thoy do unto you for my
Name's sake, bocauso thoy knou) not him that sent mo. If I had not
come ffi spokon unto them, thoy had not had sin: but nou> thoy hauo
no cloko for thoir sin. Ho that hatoth mo hatoth my Father also. If I
had not dono among them the works which none othorman did, thoy
had not had sin; but now hauo they both soon, and hatod both mo
and my Fathor. But this cometh to pass, that tho word might bo ful-
fillod that is written in thoir lau>, Thoy hatod mo without a cause. But
wbon tho Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from tho
Fathor, ouon tho Spirit of truth, which procoodeth from tho Fathor,
ho shall testify of mo. And ye also shall boar witness, because ye hauo

& So many as intend to bo partakers of tho holy Communion shall
signify their names to the Curato, at least some timQ tho day bofore.

& And if any of those be an open and notorious coil liuor, or have
done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that tho Con-
gregation be thereby offended; tho Curate, having knowlcdgo there-
of, shall call him and advertiso him, that in any wise ho prosumo not
to come to the Lord's Table, Until ho have openly declared himself to
bavo truly ropentod and amendod his former naughty life, that the
Congregation may thereby be satisfied, which before wore offondod;
and that he bavo recompensed the parties, to whom he hath done
wrong; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as
soon as he conveniently may.

£fr The same order shall the Curate use u>itb those betwixt whom he
percoivetb malice and hatred to reign; not suffering them to bo par-
takers of tho Lord's Table, until ho know them to bo reconciled. And
if one of the parties so at variance bo content to forgive from tho bottom
of his heart all that the othor hath trospassod against him, and to
make amends for that he himself hath offended; and tho othor party
will not bo persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his froward-
noss and malice: the Minister in that case ought to admit the ponitont
person to tho holy Communion, and not him that is obstinate Pro-
vided that evory Minister so repolling any, as is specified in this, or
tho next precedent Paragraph of this Rubrick, shall bo obliged to give

an account of tho same to the Ordinary within fourteen days after at

Prayer, u>itb the Collect following, the people kneeling. "

Minister. Chou shalt not mako to thyself any graven imago, nor the
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth bonoath,
or in tho water under tho earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them,
nor worship them : for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, and visit

for the Lord will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his Name in vain.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep

this law.

Minister. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days

sbalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh

day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner

of ux>rk, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and

thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is u>itbin thy gates.

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that

inthemis,and rested the seventh day :u>herefore the Lord blessed the

seventh day, and hallowed it.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep

this law.

And tho third day h<2 rose again according to tho Scriptures, And as-
cended into heaven, And sittctb on the right band of tnc Father. And
be shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead:
Whoso kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, Cbo Lord and giver of life, Who pro-
ceedotb from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the
Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe one Catbolick and Apostolick Church. I acknowledge
one Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection
of the dead, And the life of the world to come. Amen.

Lay not up for yoursel ves treasure upon tho earth;

DO ye not know, that they who minister about holy things live of
the sacrifice; &» they who wait at the altar are partakers with the
altar? Even so hath the Lord also ordained, that they who preach the
Gospel should live of the Gospel, t Cor. ix.

HE that soweth little shall reap little; and he that soweth plen-*

ho is disposed in his hoart,not grudging, or of necessity ; for God lou~
oth a cheerful giver, z Cor. ix.

CHARGE them who are rich in this world, that they bo ready to

GOD is not unrighteous, that he will forgot your works, ffi labour

When the Minister givctb warning for the celebration of the holy
Communion, (which he shall always do upon the Sunday, or some
Holy-day, immediately preceding,) after the Sermon or Homily
ended, be shall read this Exhortation following.

DEARLY beloved, on — day next I purpose, through God's assis-
tance^ administer to all such as shall bo religiously ffi devoutly
disposed the most comfortable Sacrament of the Body and Blood of
Christ; to bo by tbom received in romombranco of bis moritorious
Cross and Passion; whereby alone wo obtain remission of our sins,
and are made partakers of the Kingdom of heaven. Wherefore it is our
duty to render most humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God our
heavenly Father, for that ho bath given bis Son our Saviour Jesus
Christ, not only to die for us, but also to bo our spiritual food and
sustonanco in that holy Sacrament. Which boing so divine and com-
fortable a thing to them who rocoivo it worthily, and so dangerous to
tbom that will prosumo to rocoivo it unworthily; my duty is to exhort
you in the moan season to consider the dignity of that holy mystery,
and the great peril of the unworthy rocoiving thereof; SS so to search
and oxamino your own consciences, (and that not lightly, and after
tho manner of dissemblers with God; but so) that ye may como holy
and clean to such a heavenly Feast,in tho marriage-garment required

P3 2*3

by God in holy Scripture, ar>d bo received as worthy partakers of
that boly Tabic.

The way and moans thereto is ; First, to examine your lives and con-
versations by tbe rule of God's commandments ; and whereinsoever
ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended, either by will, word,
or deed, there to bewail your own sinfulness, and to confess your-
selves to Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life. And
if ye shall perceive your offences to be such as are not only against
God, but also against your neighbours ; then ye shall reconcile your-
selves unto them; being ready to make restitution and satisfaction,
according to the uttermost of your powers, for all injuries 82 wrongs
done by you to any other; and being likewise ready to forgive others
that have offended you, as ye would have forgiveness of your offences
at God's hand: for otherwise the receiving of the holy Communion
doth nothing else but increase your damnation. Therefore if any of
you be a blasphemer of God, an hinderer or slanderer of his Word,
an adulterer, or bo in malice, or envy, or in any othor grievous crime,
repent you of your sins, or else come not to that holy Table ; lost, after
tho taking of that holy Sacrament, tho devil ontor into you, as ho en-
tered into Judas, and fill you full of all iniquities, and bring you to
destruction both of body and soul.

And because it is requisite, that no man should come to the holy
Communion, but with a full trust in God's mercy, and with a quiet
conscience; therefore if there bo any of you, who by this moans can-
not quiet his own conscience heroin, but roquiroth further comfSrt
or counsel, let him come to mo, or to some other discreet and learned
Minister of God's Word, and open his grief ; that by tho ministry of
God's holy Word ho may recoivo tho benefit of absolution, togothor
with ghostly counsel and advico, to tho quieting of his conscience,
and avoiding of all scruple and doubtfulness.

Or, in caso ho shall soo tho pooplo negligent to como to tho holy Com-
munion, instead of the former, he shall use this Exhortation.

DEARLY beloved brothron, on — I intend, by God's graco, to cclc-
brate tho Lord's Suppor: unto which, in God's behalf, I bid you
all that arc horeprosont; and boseoch you, for the Lord Josus Christ's
sake, that yo will not refuse to como thereto, being so lovingly called
and bidden by God himself. Yq know how griovous and unkind a
214

thing it is, when a man bath prepared a rich feast, docked bis table
with all kind of provision, so tbat tbere lackotb nothing but tbe
guests to sit down; and yet tboy who are called (without any cause)
most untbankfully refuse to come. Which of you in such a case would
not bo moved? Who would not think a groat injury and wrong done
unto him? Whoroforo, most dearly beloved in Christ, take yo good
hood, lest yo, witbdrawingyoursclvos from this holy Supper, provoke
God's indignation against you. It is an easy matter for a man to say, I
will not communicate, bocauso I am otherwise hinderod with world-
ly business. But such excuses are not so easily accepted and allowed
boforo God. If any man say, I am a grievous sinner, and thorofore am
afraid to como: whoroforo thon do yo not ropent and amond? When
God calloth you, are yo not ashamed to say ye will not como? Whon
yo should roturn to God, will yo excuso yourselves, and say yo aro
not ready? Considor oarnostly with yourselves how little such feign-
ed excuses will avail boforo God. They that refused the feast in the
Gospel, because they had bought a farm, or would try thoir yokes of
oxen, or because they wore married, wore not soexcusod,but counted
unworthy of the hoavonly feast. I, for my part, shall bo ready ; and,
according to mine Office I bid you in the Name of God, I call you in
Christ's behalf, I oxhort you, as yo lovo your own salvation, that yo
will bo partakers of this holy Communion. And as the Son of God
did vouchsafe to yiold up his soul by death upon the Cross for your
salvation; so it is your duty to rocoivo tho Communion in remem-
brance of the sacrifice of his death, as he himself hath commanded:
which if yo shall nogloct to do, considor with yourselvos how great
injury yo do unto God, and how soro punishment hangoth over your
heads for tho same ; whon yo wilfully abstain from tho Lord's Table,
and separate from your brethren, who como to food on tho banquet
of that most hoavonly food. Chose things if yo oarnostly consider, ye
will by God's grace return to a bettor mind: for tho obtaining where-
of wo shall not coaso to make our humble petitions unto Almighty
God our hoavonly Fathor.

At tho timo of tho celebration of tho Communion, tho Communicants
being conveniently placed for the receiving of tho holy Sacrament,
tho Priest shall say this Exhortation.

DEARLY beloved in tho Lord, yo that mind to como to tho holy
Communion of the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ, must

P4 **5

consider boil) Saint Paul exbortotb all persons diligently to try and
examine tbemsolves, boforo tbey prosumc to oat of tbat Bread, and
drink of tbat Cup. For as tbo benefit is groat, if with a true penitent
boart and livoly faith toe receive tbat boly Sacrament; (for tbon two
spiritually eat tbo flosb of Cbrist,and drink bis blood; tbon we dwoll
in Cbrist, and Cbrist in us; u>o are ono u)itb Cbrist, and Cbrist with
us ;) so is tbo danger groat, if u>q receive tbo same unworthily. For tbon
u>o are guilty of tbo Body and Blood of Cbrist our Saviour; u)o eat
and drink our ou>n damnation, not considering tbo Lord's Body; u>q
kindle God's u>ratb against us; u>q provoke bim to plaguo us with
divers diseases, and sundry kinds of doatb. Judgo tboroforo your*
selvos, brotbron, tbat yo be not judgod of tbo Lord; repent you truly
for your sins past ; bavo a lively & stedfast faitb in Cbrist our Saviour ;
amend your lives, and bo in perfect cbarity u>itb all men ; so sball yo
be moot partakers of tboso boly mystorios. And above all tbings yo
must give most bumble and boarty tbanks to God, tbo Fatbor, tbo
Son, and tbo Holy Gbost, for tbo redemption of tbo u>orld by tbo
deatb and passion of our Saviour Cbrist, botb God and man ; u)bo did
bumble bimsolf, oven to tbo doatb upon tbo Cross, for us, miserable

Majesty, Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against

doings; The romembrancQ of them is grievous unto us; The burden
of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us,
most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake,
Forgive us all that is past; And grant that u>o may over hereafter
Servo and please thoo In neu>noss of life, To the honour and glory of
thy Name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amon.

repentance and true faith turn unto him; Have mercy upon you;
pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen
you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall tho Priest say,

COME unto mo all that travail and arc heavy ladon, and I tvill re-
fresh you. S. Matt. xi. 28.
So God loved tho world, that ho gavo his only-begotten Son r to tho

following.

WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold ffi great
mercies. Wo are not u>ortby so much as to gather up the crumbs under

thy doar Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful
bodios may bo mado clean by his body, and our souls washed

When the Priest, standing beforo the Tabic, hath so ordered the Broad

Cross for our redemption; who made there (by his one oblation of
himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation,
and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; & did institute, and
in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of
that his precious death, until his coming again; Hear us, O merciful

But deliver us from evil : For thine is tho kingdom, The potver, and

For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ,

3f Upon the Sundays and other Holy-days (if thero bo no Commu-
nion) shall bo said all that is appointed at the Communion, until tho
end of the general Prayer [For the whole state of Christ's Church
militant hero in earth] togothorwith one or more of those Collects last
before rehoarsed, concluding with tho Blessing.

& And thero shall bo no colobration of the Lord's Supper, oxcept
thero bo a convenient numbor to communicate with the Priest, ac-
cording to his discretion.

& And if thero be not above twonty persons in the Parishof discretion
to recoiue tho Communion; yet there shall bo no Communion, qx-
copt four (or throo at tho loast) communicate with the Priest.

& And in Cathedral and Collogiato Churches, and Colleges, whoro
thero aro many Priests and Deacons, they shall all recoroe tho Com-
munion with tho Priost every Sunday at tho least, oxcept tboy have a
reasonable cause to the contrary.

& And to take away all occasion of dissension, & superstition, which
any person hath or might have concerning tho Broad and Wine, it
shall suffice that the Broad bo such as is usual to be eaten; but the
host and purest Wheat Bread that conveniently may be gotten.

& And if any of tho Bread S£ Wine romain unconsecratod, the CuratQ
shall have it to his own usq : but if any remain of that which was con-
secrated, it shall not be carried out of tho Church, but tho Priest and

such other of tbo Communicants as be shall then call unto him, shall,
immediately after the Blessing, reverently cat and drink the same.

^ The Broad and WinQ for tbo Communion shall be provided by tbo
Curate and tbo Cburcb-ujardens at tbo charges of tbo Parish.

^ And note, that Query Parishioner shall communicatQ at tbo least

shall bo disposed of to such pious and charitable uses, as the Minister
andCburcb-tvardcns shall think fit. Wherein if they disagree, it shall
bo disposed of as the Ordinary shall appoint.

$& Wheroas it is ordained in this Office for the Administration of the
Lord's Supper, that tbo Communicants should roccivo tbo same

ble and grateful acknowledgment of the benefits of Christ therein
given to all u>orthy Receivers; and for tbo avoiding of such profana-
tion 8E disorder in tbo holy Communion, as might otbertvise onsuo;)
yet, lost the samo kneeling should by any persons, oitbor out of igno-
ranco and infirmity, or out of malico and obstinacy, bo misconstrued
and depraved; It is boroby declared, That tboroby no adoration is

Wine tbore bodily received, or unto any Corporal Prosonco of Christ's
natural Flosh and Blood. For tbo Sacramontal Broad and Wino re-
main still in tboir very natural substancos, and therefore may not be
adored; (for that tvero Idolatry, to be abhorred of all faithful Chris-
tians ;) and tbc^natural Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ are in
Hoavon, and not hero; it being against the truth of Christ's natural
Body to bo at one timo in more places than one.

OF INFANTS, TO BE USED IN THE CHURCH.

The people are to be adipopisbed, that it is most copvepiept that Baptism) should pot be ad-
rpipistered but upop Sundays, apd other Holy-days, wbep the most purpber of people corpe
together ', as well for tbat tbe Congregation there presept may testify the receiving of them tbat
be newh/ baptized into tbe number of Christ's Church J as also because in tbe Baptism of Ip~
fapts every Map present njay be put ip reipeipbrapce of bis owp profession made to God ip
bis Baptism. For wbicb cause also it is expedient tbat Baptism be ministered in tbe vulgar
tongue. Nevertheless, (if necessity so require,) Cbildrei) n)ay be baptized upoi) ai)y otber day.
Ai)d note, tbat tbere sball be for eyery Male-child to be baptized two Godfathers ai)d ope God-
mother j ar)d for eyery Female, one Godfather at)d two Godmothers.

When there are Children to be baptized, the Parents shall giye knowledge thereof oyer night;
or in the n)orning before the beginning of Morning Prayer, to the Curate. And then the God-
fathers and Godmothers, and the people with the Children, n)ust be ready at the Font, either
immediately after the last Lesson at Morning Prayer, or else immediately after the last Lesson
at Evening Prayer, as the Curate by his discretion shall appoint. And the Priest coining to
the Font, (which is then to be filled with pure Water,) and standing there, shall say,

MATH this Child been already baptized, Then shall the Priest say,
or no 7 Let us pray.

If they answer, No : Then shall the Priest pro-
ceed as folio wetb.

DEARLY beloved, forasmuch as all rpep
are conceived ano born in sin J and that
our Saviour Christ saitb, None can enter in-
to the kingdom) of God, except he be rege-
nerate and born anew of Water and of the
Hob/ Ghost j I beseech you to call upon God
the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
that of his bounteous mercy he will grant to
this Child that thing which by nature he
cannot have j that he n)ay be baptized with
Water and the Hob/ Ghost, and received into
Christ's holy Church, and be made a lively
member of the same.

O Lord, as thou hast promised by thy well-
beloved Son, saying, Ask, and ye shall haye ;

opened unto you: So give now unto us that
ask; let us that seek find; open the gate unto
us that knock; that this Infant njay enjoy
the everlasting benediction of thy heavenly
washing, and n?ay con?e to the eternal king-
don? which thou hast protnised by Christ
our Lord. An?en«

Then shall the people stand up, 82 the Priest
shall say,

Hear the words of the Gospel, written by S.
Hark, in the tenth Chapter, at the thirteenth
Verse.

THEY brought young children to Christ,
that he should touch then?; and his dis-
ciples rebuked those that brought then?. But
when Jesus saw it, he was n?uch displeased,
and said unto then?, Suffer the little children
to con?e unto n?e, and forbid then? not; for of
such is the kingdom of God. Verify I say tinto
you, Whosoever shall not receiye the king-
don? of God as a little child, he shall not enter
therein. And he took then? up in his arn?s,
put his hands upon then?, and blessed then?.

After the Gospel is read, the Minister shall
n?ake this brief Exhortation upon the words
of the Gospel.

BELOVED, ye hear in this Gospel the
words of our Saviour Christ, that he
commanded the children to be brought unto
bin?; how he blan?ed those that would haye
kept then? from bin?; how he exbortetb all

n?en to follow their innocency. Ye perceive
how by his outward gesture and deed he de~
dared his good will toward then?; for he en?-
braced then? in his arn?s, he laid his hands
upon then?, and blessed then?. Doubt ye not
therefore, but earnestly believe, that he will
likewise favourably receive this present In-
fant; that he willen?brace bin? with the arn?s
of his n?ercy ; that he will give unto bin? the
blessing of eternal life, 82 n?akehin? partaker
of his everlasting kingdon?. Wherefore we be-
ing thus persuaded of the good will of our
heavenly Father towards this Infant, declar-
ed by his Son Jesus Christ; and nothing
doubting but that he favourably allowcti?
this charitable work of our 's in bringing this
Infant to his bo}y Baptisn?; let us faithfully
and devoutly give thanks unto bin?, and say,

*S LMIGHTY 8? everlasting God, heaven-
J\ \y Father, we give thee hun?ble thanks,
for that thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the
knowledge of thy grace, and faith in tbee :
Increase this knowledge, and confirm this
faith in us eyem?ore. Give thy Hojy Spirit
to this Infant, that he maybe bow? again, and
be made an heir of everlasting salvation;
through our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth
and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.

Then shall the Priest speak unto the God-
fathers and Godmothers on this wise.

DEARLY beloved, ye have brought this
Child here to be baptized, ye have pray-
ed that our Lord Jesus Christ would vouch-
safe to receiye him, to release him of his sins,
to sanctify him with the Holy Ghost, to give
bim the kingdom of heaven, and everlasting
life. Ye have heard also that our Lord Jesus
Christ hath promised in his Gospel to grant
all these things that ye have prayed for:
which promise he, for his part, will most
surely keep and perform' Wherefore, after
this promise made by Christ,this Infant must
also faithfully, for his part, promise by you
that are his sureties, (until he come of age to
take it upon himself.) that he will renounce
the devil and all his works, 22 constantly be-
lieve God's holy Word, and obediently keep
his commandments.

227

I den? a t?d therefore,

DOST thou, in the i)anje of this Child, re-
nounce the devil ai?d all bis works, the
vain pon?p ax?d glory of the world, with all
covetous desires of the saxpe, and the carnal
desires of the ffesh, so that thou wilt x?ot fol-
low, nor be led by then??

A os wor. I renounce then? all.

DOST thou believe in God the Father Al-

Answer. All this I stedfastly believe.

Minister.

Vy/ILT thou be baptized in this faith?

2W* That is n?y desire.

Minister.

WILT thou then obediently keep God's
holy will and con?n?andn?ents, and
walk in the saxne all the days of thy life ?

Answer. I will.

Then shall the Priest say,

O MERCIFUL God, grant that the old
Adan? in this Child rr?ay be so buried,
that the new roan xnay be raised up in bin?.
Axnen*

Grant that all carnal affections n?ay die in
bin?, £ that all things belonging to fhe Spirit
xnay live and grow in bin? . Ainen*
Grant that he xnay have power ar?d strength
to have victory, ai?d to triuxnpb, against the

endued with heavenly virtues, and everlast-
ingly re wardcd,tbrougb thy xnercy,Obless-
ed Lord God, who dost live, and govern all
things, world without end. Ainen.

*T=[ LMIGHTY, everliving God, whose xnost
J~~\ dearb/ beloved Son Jesus Christ, for tbe
forgiveness of our sins, did shed out of his
xnost precious side both water £ blood; and
gavecoxnxnax)dinenttobis disciples, tbattbey
should go teach all nations, and baptize then?
In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost j Regard, we beseech thee, the
supplications of thy congregation? sanctifjr
this Water to the xnystical washing away oi
sin; and grant that this Child, now to be bap-
tized therein, xnay receive the fuh>ess of thy
grace, and ever ren?ain in the nun?ber of thy
faithful and elect children? through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Ainen*

Then the Priest shall take the Child into his
hands, and shall say to the Godfathers and
Godxnotbers,

Naxx>e this Child.

And then naxning it after then? (if they shall
certify bin? that the Child n?ay well endure
it) he shall dip it in the Water discreetly and
warily, saying,

NI baptize thee In the Narne of the
. Father, and of the Son, £ of the Holy

Ghost. Arnen.

But if they certify that the Child is weak, it
shall suffice to pour Water upon it, saying
tbe foresaid words.

NI baptize tbee In the Narne of the
. Father, and of the Son, £ of the Ho\y
Ghost. Ainen*

Then the Priest shall say,

WE receive this Child into the congre~
gation of Christ's ff ock, i££t £ do sign
bixn with the sign of the
Cross, in token that *©k Here the Priest
hereafter be shall not be shall n?ake a Cross
asbaxned to confess the upon the Child's
faith of Christ crucified, forehead,
and xnanfully to fight
under his banner, against sir?? the world, and
the devil; £ to continue Christ's faithful sol**
dier and servant unto his life's end. Ainen.

Then shall the Priest say,

SEEING i)ow, dearly beloved brethren,
that this Child is regenerate, and grafted
into tbe body of Christ's Church, let us give
thanks unto Almighty God for fhese benefits;
ai?d witb one accord make our prayers ur>to
bin?, tbat tbis Cbild may lead the rest of bis
life according to tbis begin ning.

Then shall be said, all kneeling;

OUR Father, wbicb art in heaven, Hal-
lowed be my Name.Tby kingdom con>e.
Tby will be done, in eartb as it is in heaven.
Give us tbis day our daib/ bread. And for-
give us our trespasses, As we forgive then?
tbat trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation; But deliver us fron? evil. Amen.

Tben sball tbe Priest say,

WE yield tbee hearty thanks, most mer-
ciful Father, tbat it batb pleased tbee
to regenerate tbis Infant witb tby Hob/Spirit,
to receive bin? for tbine own Cbild by adop-
tion, and to incorporate bin? into tby holy
Church. And buxnbly we beseech tbee to
grant, tbat be, being dead unto sin, and living
unto righteousness, and being buried witb
Cbristinbisdeatb,n?aycruci^tbeoldrnan>
and utterh/ abolish tbe whole body of sin;
and that, as be is made partaker of tbe death
of thy Son, be may also be partaker of bis
resurrection ; so that finally, with the residue
of thy bob/ Church, be may be an inheri-
tor of thine everlasting kingdom; through
Christ our Lord. Amen-

Then, all standing up, the Priest shall say to
the Godfathers and Godmothers this Exhor-
tation following.

FORASMUCH as this Child batb pro-
xnised by you bis sureties to renounce fhe
devil and all his works, to believe in God, and
to serve bin?; ye xnust remember, that it is
your parts and duties to see that tbis Infant be
taught, so soon as be shall be able to learn,
what a soleinn vow,proinise, and profession,
be bath here made by you. And that be inay
know these things the better, ye shall call up-
on bin? to bear Sermons; & chiefly ye shall
provide, that be may learn the Creed, the
Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Con?n?andn?ents,
in the vulgar tongue, and all other things
which a Christian ought to know and believe
to bis soul's health; and that this Child may
be virtuoush/ brought up to lead a godh/ and
a christian life; rexnetnbering always, that
Baptism doth represent unto us our profes-
sion; which is, to follow tbe example of our
Saviour Cbrist,and to be made like unto bin?;
that, as be died, K rose again for us, so should
we, who are baptized, die fron? sin, and rise
again unto righteousness; continually mor-
tifying all our evil £ corrupt affections, and
daib/ proceeding in all virtue and godliness
of living.
Then shall be add and say,

YE are to take care that this Child be
brought to the Bishop to be confirmed
by bin?, so soon as be can say tbe Creed, tbe
Lord's Prayer, and fhe Ten Commandments,
in tbe vulgar tongue, and be further instruct-
ed in the Cburcb-Catechisro set forth for that
purpose.

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

To take away all scruple concerning the use of the sign of the Cross in Baptisn? j the true
explication thereof, and the just reasons for the retaining of it, may be seen in the XXXtb
Canon, first published in the year MDCIV.

229

THE MINISTRATION OF PRIVATE BAPTISM
OF CHILDREN IN HOQSES.

The Curates of every Parish Shall often admonish the people, that tbey defer i)ot the Bap-
tism of their Children longer than tbe first or second Sunday next after tbeir birth, or other
Hojy-day falling between, unless upon a great and reasonable cause, to be approyed by tbe
Curate.

Ax?d also tbey sball warn them, tbat without like great cause and necessity tbey procure not
tbeir Children to be baptized at home in tbeir bouses. But when need sball compel them so
to do, then Baptism sball be administered on tbis f asbioi? :

First, let the Minister of fheParisb (or,in bis absence, any otber lawful Minister tbat canbepro-
cured) witb them tbat are present, call upon God, and say tbe Lord's Prayer, and so many
of the Collects appointed to be said before in tbe Forn? of Publick Baptism, as tbe time and
present exigence will suffer. And then, tbe Child being named by sonje one tbat is present,
tbe Minister sball pour Water upon it, saying these words j

NI baptize thee In the Naxne of the
. Father, £ of the Son, and of the HoJy

Ghost. Anjen-

Then* all kneeling down, the Minister shall
give thanks unto God, and say,

\ Y/E yield thee hearty thanks, most mer-
«yV» ciful Father, that it bath pleased thee
to regenerate this Infant with thyHo^y Spirit,
to receive bin? for thine own Child by adop-
tion, and to incorporate bin? into thy holy
Church. And we bumbjy beseech thee to
grant, that as he is now n?ade partaker of the
death of thy Son, so he may he also of his
resurrection; and that finally, with the resi-
due of thy Saints, he may inherit thine ever*
lasting kingdom ; through the san?e thy Son
Jesus Christ our Lord. An?en>

And let then? not doubt, but that the Child so
baptized is lawfully and sufficiently bap-
tized, and ought not to be baptized again. Yet
nevertheless, if the Child, which is after this
sort baptized, do afterward live, it is expe-
dient that it be brought into the Church, to
the intent that, if the Minister of the same
Parish did hin?self baptize that Child, the
Congregation may be certified of the true
Form of Baptism, by bin? privately before
used : In which case he shall say thus,

I CERTIFY you, that accordingtothedue
and prescribed Order of the Church, at
suchatin>e,and at such aplace,bofore divers
witnesses I baptized this Child.
230

But if the Child were baptized by any other
lawful Minister, then the Minister of the Pa-
rish, where the Child was born or christen-
ed, shall examine and try whether fhe Child
be lawfully baptized, or no. In which case, if
those that bring any Child to fhe Church do
answer, that the same Child is already bap-
tized, then shall the Minister examine them
further, saying,

BY whom was this Child baptized?
Who was present when this Child was
baptized?

Because some things essential to this Sacra-
ment may happen tobe omitted through fear
or haste, in such times of extremity; there-
fore I demand further of you,
With what matter was this Child baptized?
With what words was this Child baptized?

And if the Minister shall find by the answers
of such as bring the Child, that all things
were done as they ought to be j then shall not
be christen the Child again, but shall receive
him as one of the ffock of true christian peo-
ple, saying thus,

I CERTIFY you, that in this case all is
well done, and according unto due or-
der, concerning the baptizing of this Child;
who being born in original sin, and h? the
wrath of God, is now, by the laver of Regene-
ration in Baptism, received into the number
of the children of God, and heirs of everlast-
ing life : for our Lord Jesus Christ doth not
deny his grace and mercy unto such Infants,

but voost lovingh/ doth call then? unto bin?,
as the boly Gospel dotb witness to our coin-
fort on tbis wise.

S. MARK X. 13.

THEY brougbt young children to Christ,
tbat be sbould touch then?? and bis dis-
ciples rebuked tbose tbat brougbt then?- But
when Jesus saw it, be was inucb displeased,

anns, put bis bands upon then?, and blessed

After tbe Gospel is read, tbe Minister sball
make tbis brief Exbortation upon tbe words
of tbe Gospel.

BELOVED, ye bear in tbis Gospel tbe
words of our Saviour Cbrist, tbat be
coinxnanded tbe cbildren to be brougbtunto

bow by bis outward gesture and deed be de-
clared bis good will toward then? ; for be en?-
braced then) in bis anns, be laid bis bands

therefore, but earnesth/ belieye, tbat be batb

arn?s of bis mercy; and (as be batb promis-
ed in bis boly Word) will giye unto bin? the
blessing of eternal life, and tnakc bin?. par-
taker of bis everlasting kingdom* Wherefore,
we being thus persuaded of tbe good will of
our beayenly Fatber, declared by bis Son
Jesus Cbrist, towards tbis Infant let us faith-
fully K deyoutly giye thanks unto bin?, and
say tbe Prayer wbicb fhe ISrd bin?self taugbt
us:

OUR Fatber, wbicb art in heaven, Hal-
lowed be thy Name.Tby kingdom come.
Tby will be done, in eartb as it is in beayen.
Giye us tbis day our daily bread. And for-
give us our trespasses, As we forgive then?
tbat trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation ; But deliver us fron? evil. Axnen*

IB LMIGHTYKeverlastingGod, heavenly
J 1 Fatber, we give fheebun?ble tbanks, tbat
thou bast vouchsafed to call us to tbe know-
ledge of tby grace, and faith in tbee; Increase
tbis knowledge, and confirm tbis faitb in us

vant, gg attain thy promise; tbrougb tbe san?e
our Lord Jesus Cbrist tby Son, wbo livetb
and reignetb witb tbee and tbe Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. An?en.

Then sball tbe Priest demand tbe Naxne of
tbe Child; wbicb being by tbe Godfathers
and Godmothers pronounced. the Minister
shall say,

DOST thou, in the nan?e of this Child, re-
nounce fhc devil and all bis works, the
yah? pon?p and glory of this world, with all
coyetous desires of the satne, and the carnal
desires of the flesh, so that tbou wilt not fol-
low, nor be led by then? ?

Answer. I renounce then? all.

Minister.

DOST tbou believe in God the Father Al-
mighty, Maker of heaven and earth?
And in Jesus Christ his only-begotten Son
our Lord ? And that be was conceived by fhe
Holy Ghost j born of the Virgin Mary; that

tbatbe ascended into heaven, and sittetbatfhe

fron? tbex?ce shall con?e again at fhe end of the
world, to judge the quick and the dead 7
And dost tbou believe in the Holy Ghost;
fhe holy Catbolick Church ; fhe Communion
of Saints: the Remission of sins; the Resur-
rection of the flesh; and everlasting life after
death?

Answer. All this I stedfastly believe.

Minister.

WILT tbou then obediently keep God's
boly will and commandments, and
walk in the sarpe all the days of thy life ?

Answer. I will.

*3*

Then the Priest shall say,

XVTE receive this Child into tbecongrega-
«W. tior? of Christ's flock, ^ ai?ddo sign
bin? with the sign of the
Cross, in token that ^ Here the Priest
hereafter be shall not be shall make a Cross
ashamed to confess the upon the Child's
faith of Christ crucified, forehead.
apd manfully to fight
ur?der bis banner, against sin, the world, and
the devil ; 8 to continue Christ's faithful sol-
dier and sery ap t unto bis life's er, d. Arpei).

Then shall the Priest say,

SEEING now, dearly beloved brethren,
that this Child is by Baptisn? regenerate,
and grafted into the body of Christ's Church,
let us give thanks unto Aln?igbty God for
these benefits; and with one accord n?ake our
prayers unto bin?, that he n?ay lead the rest
of his life according to this beginning.

Then shall the Priest say,

WE yield thee rnost hearty thanks, njost
inerciful Father, that it hath pleased
thee to regenerate this Infant with thy Hojy
Spirit, to receive bin? for thine own Child
by adoption, 8 to incorporate bin? it? to thy
holy Church. And humbly we beseech thee
to grant, that he being dead unto sin, S living
unto righteousness, and being buried with
Christ in bisdeath,n?ay crucify the old n?an,
and utterly abolish the whole body of sin ;
and that, as he is n?ade partaker of the death
of thy Son> he n?ay also be partaker of his
resurrection; so tbatfinaHy, with the residue
of thy holy Church, he may be an inheritor
of thine everlasting kingdon? j through Jesus
Christ our Lord. An?en«

Tben.all standing up,ftveMinistersballn?ake

this Exhortation to the Godfathers and God-
n?otbers.

FORASMUCH as this Child hath pro*
njisedby you his sureties to rcnouncefhe
devil 8 alibis works, to believe in God, and
to serve bin?; y« xpwst remember, that it is
your parts and duties to see that this Infant
be taught, so soon as he shall be able to learn,
What a solemn vow, promise, and profession
he hath made by you. And that he may know
these things the better, ye shall call upon him
to hear Sermons; and chiefly ye shall pro*
vide, that he may learn the Creed, the Lord's
Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, in ft*
vulgar tongue, and all other things which a
Christian ought to know and believe to his
soul'shealth; and that this Child may be vir-
tuously brought up to lead a godly and a
christianlife; remembering alway,that Bap-
tism doth represent unto us our profession ;
which is, to follow the example of our
Saviour Christ, and to be made like unto
bin?; that, as he died, 8 rose again for us, so
should we, who are baptized, die from sip.
and rise again unto righteousness; continu-
ally mortifying all our evil 8 corrupt affec-
tions, and daily proceeding in all virtue and
godliness of living*

But if they which bring the Infant to the
Church do make such uncertain answers to
the Priest's questions, as that it cannot ap~
pear that the Child was baptized with Water,
In the Name of the Father, 8 of the Son. and
of the Holy Ghost, (which are essential parts
of Baptism;) then let the Priest baptize it in
the form before appointed for Publick Bap-
tism of Infants; saving that at the dipping of
the Child in the Font, he shall use this form
of words.

IF thou art not already baptized, N. I
baptize thee In the Name of the Father,

and of the Son, 8 of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Christ our Lord. Ainen.

Then shall the people stand up, £ the Priest
shall say,

Hear the words of the Gospel, written by
Saint Jobn^ in the third Chapter, beginning
at the first Verse.

THERE was a n?an of the Pharisees, nan?-
ed Nicodernus, a ruler of the Jews. The
sarne carne to Jesus by night, and said unto
bin?, Rabbi, we know that tbou art a teacher
corpe fron? God; for no n?an can do these
xniracles tljat tbou doest, except God be with
bin). Jesus answered £ said unto bin?, Veri-
ly, verily I say unto tbee, Except a n?an be
born again, be cannot see the kingdon? of
God. Nicoden?us saitb unto bin?, How can a
n?an be born when he is old 7 Can be enter the
second tin?e into bis n?otber's won?b, and be
bon? ? Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say
unto thee, Except a n?an be born of water £ of
the Spirit, be cannot enter into the kingdon?
of God.Tbat which is born of the ffesb is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto tbee, Ye n?ust be
horn again. The wind blowetl? where it list-
etb, and tbou bearest the sound thereof; but
canst not tell whence it con?etb, £ whither it
goeth : so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

After which be shall say this Exbortationfol-

lowing.

BELOVED, ye bearin this Gospel the ex-
press words of our Saviour Christ, that
except a n?an be born of water £ of the Spi-
234

rit, be cannot enter into the kingdon? of God.
Whereby ye n?ay perceiye the great neces-
sity of this Sacran?ent, where it n?ay be bad.
Likewise, in?n?ediately before bis ascension
into beayen, (as we read in the last Chapter of
Saint Mark's Gospel,) he gave con?n?and to
bis disciples, saying, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the Gospel to every creature. He
that believetb £ is baptizedsballbc saved; but
be that believetb not shall be darnned. Which
also sbewetbuntousthe great benefit we reap
thereby. For which cause Saint Peter the
Apostle, when upon bis first preaching of the
Gospel n?any were pricked at the heart, and
said to bin? and the rest of the Apostles, Men
and brethren, what shall we do? replied and
said unto then?, Repent, £ be baptized every
one of you for the ren?ission of sins, and ye
shall receiye the gift of the Hoh/ Ghost. For
the prorniseisto you 8 your children, and to
all that are af aroff,even as n? any as theferdour
God shall call. And with n?any other words
exhorted be then?, saying, Save yourselves
front? this untoward generation. For (as the
san?e Apostle testifietb in another place) even
Baptisn? doth also now save us, (not the put-
ting away of the filtl? of the ffesb, but the an-
swer of a good conscience towards God,) by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Doubt ye not
therefore, but earnestly believe, that be will
favourabh/receive these presentpersons, tru-
ly repenting, and corning unto bin? by faith ;
that be will grant then? remission of their sins,
and bestow upon then? the Hojy Ghost; that
be will give then? the blessing of eternal life,
and n?ake then? partakers of bis eyerlasting
kingdon?.

Wherefore we being thus persuaded of the
good will of our heavenly Father towards
these persons, declared by bis Son Jesus
Christ; let us faithfully and deyouth/ giye
thanks to bin?, and say,

*~B LMIGHTY £ everlasting God, beaven-
J 1 ly Father, we give tbee l?un?ble thanks,
for that tbou bast vouchsafed to call us to the
knowledgeof thy grace, and faith in tbee : In-
crease this knowledge, £ confirm this faith
in us eyern?ore. Give thy Ho}y Spirit to these
persons, that they n?ay be born again, and be
n?ade heirs of everlasting salvation; through
our Lord Jesus Christ, who liyeth £ reign-
etb with tbee and the Hoh/ Spirit, now and
for ever. An?en.

Then the Priest shall speak to the persons to
be baptized 017 this wise :

WELL-BELOVED, who are coipe
bitber desiring to receive bob/ Bap-
tisn?, ye bave beard bow tbe congregation
batb prayed, that our Lord Jesus Christ

Then, all standing up, the Priest sbaffuse this
Exhortation following? speaking tofhe God-
fathers and Godmothers first.

FORASMUCH as these persons have pro-
mised in your presence to renounce the
devil £ all his works, to believe in God, £ to
servebin?? ye must remember, that itisyour
part and duty to put then? in mind, what a
solemn vow, promise, £ profession they have
now made before this congregation, and es-
pecially before you their chosen witnesses.
And ye are also to call upon then? to use all
diligence to be rightly instructed in God's
ho^y Word j that so they may grow in grace,
andinftaknowledgeofourl&rdJesusCbrist,
and liye godJy, righteously, and soberly i*>
this present world.

(And then* speaking to the new baptized per-
sons, he shaH* proceed, and say,)

*TEI ND as for you, who have now by Bap-
J\ tisnj put on Christ, it is your part and
dutyalso,beingtnadefhe children of God and
of the light, by faith in Jesus Christ, to walk
answerabjy to your Christian calling, £ as
becoineth the children of light; rernenjber-
ing always that Baptistn representeth unto
us our profession J which is, to follow the ex-
ample of our Saviour Christ; and to be made
like unto bin? ; that as he died, and rose again
for us; so should we, who are baptized, die
froin sin, and rise again unto righteousness;
continually mortifying all our eyil and cor-
rupt affections, and daily proceeding in all
virtue and godliness of living.

It is expedient that every person, thus baptized, should be confirmed by the Bishop so soon
after his Baptism as conveniently may be; that so he may be admitted to the boh/ Commu-
nion.

If any persons not baptized in their infancy shalT be brought to be baptized before they come
to years of discretion to answer for themselves; it may suffice to use the Office for Publick
Baptism of Infants, or (in case of extreme danger) the Office for Private Baptism; only change
ing the word (Infant) for (Child or Person) as occasion requireth.

ment when the secrets of all hearts shall be
disclosed, that if either of you kpow apy irp-
pedirpept, why ye tpaypot be lawfully joip-

it. For be ye well assured, that so many as

arc coupled together otherwise thai) God's
Word doth allow are rjot joined together by
God; neither is their Matrimony lawful.

At which day of Marriage, if any man do al»
lege and declare any impediment, why they '
may not be coupled together in Matrimony,
by God's Law, or the Laws of this Realm;
and will be bound, & sufficient sureties with
bin?, to the parties; or else put it? a Caution
(to the full value of such charges as the per-
sons to be married do thereby sustain) to
prove his allegation: then the solemnization
rpust be deferred, until such time as the truth

If no impediment be alleged, then shall the
Curate say unto the Man.

N.VV/ILT thou have this Woman to thy
«W* wedded wife, to live together after
God's ordinance in the holy estate of Ma-
trimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her,
honour, ffi keep her in sickness and in health;
and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto
her, so long as ye both shall live 7

The Man shall answer,

Iwiff.

Then shall the Priest say unto the Woman;

N. W/ILT thou have this Man to thy wed-
•W» ded husband, to live together after

mony? Wilt thou obey him; and serve bin?,
loye, honour, and keep him in sickness and
in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee
only unto him; so long as ye both shall live ?

The Woman shall answer,

I will.

Then shaffthe Minister say,

Who giveth this Woman to be married to this

Man?

Then shall they give their troth to each other

in this manner.

The Minister, receiving fhe Woman at her fa-
ther's or friend's hands, shalT cause the Man
with his right hand to take the Woman by
her right hand, and to say after him as fol-
loweth.

IN. take thee N. to my wedded wife, to
have and to hold from this day forward,
for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in
r2

sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,
till death us do part, according to God's holy
ordinance; £ thereto I plight thee my troth.

Then shall they loose their hands; and the
Woman; with her right hand taking the Man
by his right hand, shaff likewise say after
the Minister,

IN. take thee N. to my wedded husband,
to have & to hold from this day forward,
for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in
sickness and in health; to love, cherish; and
to obey; tilF death us do part, according to
God's ho\y ordinance ; and thereto I give thee
my troth.

Then shalT they again loose their hands; and
the Man shaft* give unto the Woman a Ring;
laying the same upon the book with the ac-
customed duty to the Priest and Clerk. And
the Priest, talcing the Ring; shalT deliver it
unto fhe Man; to put it upon the fourth finger
of the Woman's left hand. And the Man hold-
ing the Ring there, and taught by the Priest,
shall say,

WITH this Ring I thee wed, with my

Ghost. Amen«

Then the Man leaving the Ring upon the
fourth finger of the Woman's left hand, they

Let us pray.

O ETERNAL God, Creator and Preser-
ver of all mankind; Giver of all spiritual
grace, the Author of everlasting life; Send

twixt them made, (whereof this Ring given
andreceiyedis a token and pledge,) and may
ever remain in perfect loye 82 peace together,
and live according to thy laws; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen*

Then shalT the Priest join their right hands
together, and say,

Those whom God hath joined together let no
man put asunder.

243

Then shall to Minister speak unto fhe people.

OGOD of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of
Jacob,bless these thy servants, and sow
the seed of eternal life in their hearts; that
whatsoever in thy bo}y Word fhey shall pro-
fitably learn, they may in deed fulfil the

same. Look, O Lord, mercifulh/ upon tbcm
from beayen, 82 bless then? . And as thou didst
send tby blessing upon Abraham £ Sarah,
to their great conjfbrt, so youebsafe to send
tby blessing upon these thy servants; tbat
tbey obeying tby will, and alway being in
safety under tby protection, may abide in
tby love unto tbeir lives' end; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen*

This Prayer next following shalT be omit-
ted, where the Woman is past child-bearing.

O MERCIFUL Lord, and beavenh/ Fa-
ther, by whose gracious gift mankind
is increased; We beseech thee, assist with thy
blessing these two persons, that they may
bod) be fruitful in procreation of children,
and also live together so long in godly lo yc
and bonesty,tbattbeymayseetbeir children
christian!?" and virtuously brought up, to
thy praise £ honour; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen*

OGOD, who by tby mighty power hast
njade all things of nothing* who also
(after other things set in order) didst appoint,
that out of man (created after thine own
image and similitude) woman should take
her beginning? and, knitting them together,
didst teach that it should neyer be lawful to
put asunder those whom thou by Matrimony
badst made one : O God, who hast conse-
crated the state of Matrimony to such an ex-
cellent mystery, that in it is signified and re-
presented the spiritual marriage and unity
betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mer-
cifully upon these thy servants, that both
this man may love bis wife, according to tby
Word, (as Christ did love his spouse the
Church, who gave himself for it, loving and
cherishing it even as his own ffesb,) and also
that this woman maybe loving and amiable,
faithful and obedient to her husband; and
in all quietness, sobriety, and peace, be a fol-
lower of holy and god|y matrons. O Lord,
bless them both, £ grant them to inberit tby
everlasting kingdom? through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen*

Tben shall the Priest say,

*Ta LMIGHTY God, who at the beginning
j\ did create our first parents, Adam and
Eve, and did sanctify and join ftwm together
'3

in marriage? Four upon you five riches of bis
grace, sanctify and bless you, that ye may
please him both in body and soul, and live
together in holy love unto your lives' end.
Amen.

After which, if there be no Sermon declar-
ing the duties of Man and Wife, the Minister
shalT read as folio wetb.

°T3 LL ye that are married, ortbat intend to
JY take the bob/ estate of Matrimony upon
you, bear what the holy Scripture doth say
as touching the duty of husbands towards
their wives, £ wives towards their husbands.
Saint Paul, in bis Epistle to the Epbesians,
the fifth Chapter, doth give this command-
ment to all married men J Husbands, love
your wives, eyen as Christ also loved the
Church, £ gave himself for it, that he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water, by the Word? that be might present
it to himself a glorious Church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing J but that
it should be holy, and without blemish. So
ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth bis wife lovetb him-
self: for no man ever yet bated bis own ffesb,
but nourisbetb and cberisbetb it, even as the
Lord the Church: for we are members of
bis body, of bis ffesb, and of bis bones. For
this cause shalT a man leave his father and
mother, £ shall be joined unto bis wife; and
tbey two shalT be one ffesb. This is a great
mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and
fhe Church. Nevertheless, let every one of you
in particular so love his wife, even as himself.
Likewise the same Saint Paul, writing to fhe
Colossians, speaketb thus to all men that are
married; Husbands, love your wives, £ be
not bitter against them*
Hear also what Saint Peter, the Apostle of
Christ, who was himself a married man,
saitb unto them that are married; Ye hus-
bands, dwell with your wives according to
knowledge; giving honour unto the wife, as
unto fhe. weaker vessel, and as beingbeirs to-
gether of the grace of life, that your prayers
be not hindered. ...

Hitherto ye have beard the duty of the bus-
band toward fhe wife, row likewise, ye wives,
bear andlearnyourdutiestowardyour hus-
bands, even as it is plainly set forth in holy
Scripture.

Saint Paul, in the aforenamed Epistle to the
Epbesians, teacbetb you thus; Wives, sub-
toit yourselves unto your own husbands, as
unto the Lord. For the husband is the bead
of tbe wife, eyei? as Christ is the bead of the
Cburcb : and be is tbe Saviour of tbe body.
Therefore as tbe Cburcb is subject unto
Cbrist, so let tbe wiyes be to their own hus-
bands in eyery tibibg. And again be saitb, Let
tbe wife see tbat sbe reverence ber husband.
And in bis Epistle to the Colossiarys, Saint
Paul giyctb you this short lessor?; Wiyes,
subxpit yourselyes unto your own bus-
bands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Saii)t Peter also doth instruct you yery well,
thus saying j Ye wiyes, be in subjection to
your own husbands; tbat,if any obey not the

Word, they also n?ay without the Word be
won by the conversation of the wiyes ; while
they behold your chaste conversation cou-
pled with fear. Whose adorning; let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair,
and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel; but let it be tbe bidden n?an of the
heart, in that which is not corruptible; even
the ornatnentof arpcek £ quiet spirit, which
is in the sight of God of great price. For after
this xnanber in the old tiine the boh/ woipen
also, who trusted in God, adorned tbetp-
selves, being in subjection unto their own
husbands; eyen as Sarah obeyed Abrabain,
calling bin? lord; whose daughters ye are
as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with
any ainazcrncnt.

It is convenient that the new-n>arried persons should receive the holy Cotninunion at the
tixne of their Marriage, or at tbe first opportunity after their Marriage.

THE ORDER FOR THE VISITATION OF THE
SICK.

When &i?y person is sick, notice shall be given thereof to the Minister of the Parish; who,
coming into the sick person's bouse, shall say,

PEACE be to this house, and to all that
dwell in it.

When be corpetb into foe sick man's presence
he shall say. kneeling down,

REMEMBER not, Lord, our iniquities,
nor the iniquities of our forefathers:
Spare us, good I2rd, spare thy people, whom
thou hast redeemed with thy most precious
blood, and be not angry with us for ever.
Answer. Spare us, good Lord.

Then the Minister sbaff say,

Let us pray.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

OUR Father, which art in heaven, Hal-
lowed be thy Nanoe. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in
heaven. Giye us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
thein that trespass against us. And lead us
not into temptation J But deliver us from evil.
Ainen*

Minister. O Lord, save thy servant;
Answer. Which putteth his trust in thee.

Minister. Send bin? help front? thy holy
place;

Answer. And evermore mightily defend

him.

Minister. Let the enemy have no advantage

of him;

Answer. Nor the wicked approach to hurt

him.

Minister.Be unto him, O ferd, a strong tower,
Answer. From the face of his enemy.
Minister. O Lord, hear our prayers.
Answer. And let our cry come unto thee.

Minister.

OLORD,lookdownfrom heaven, behold,
visit, and relieve this thy servant. Look
t-4

upon bin? with the eyes of thy mercy, give
him comfort and sure confidence in thee, de-
fend him from the danger of the enemy, and
keep bin? in perpetual peace and safety;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen-

M EAR us, Almighty and most merciful
God 8 Saviour; extend thy accustomed
goodness to this thy servant who is grieved
with sickness. Sanctify, we beseech thee, this
thy fatherly correction to him; that the sense
of his weakness may add strength to his faith,
and seriousness to his repentance : That, if it
shaff be thy good pleasure to restore him to
his former health, he may lead the residue of
his life in thy fSar, and to thy glory: or else,
give bin? grace so to take thy visitation, that,
after this painful life ended, he may dwell
with thee in life everlasting; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then shall the Minister exhort the sick per-
son after this form, or other like.

DEARLY beloved, know this, that Al-
mighty God is the l2rd of life and death,
and of all things to then? pertaining, as youth,
strength, health, age, weakness, and sick-
ness. Wherefore, whatsoever your sickness
is, know you certainly, that it is God's visita-
tion. And for what cause soever this sickness
is sent unto you ; whether it be to try your
patience for the example of others, and that
your faith may be found in the day of the
Lord laudable, glorious, and honourable, to
the increase of glory and endless felicity; or
else it be sent unto you to correct and amend
in you whatsoever doth offend the eyes of
your heavenly Father; know you certainh/,
that if you truly repent you of your sins, and
bear your sickness patiently, trusting in
God's mercy, for his dear Son Jesus Christ's
sake, and render unto him humble thanks
for his fStherly visitation, submitting your-
self wholh/ unto his wiff, it shall turn to your
profit, and help you forward in fhe right way
that lcadeth unto everlasting life.

247

If the person visited be very sick, then the
Curate may end bis exhortation in tbis place,
or else proceed.

TAKE therefore in good part the chastise-
ment of the Lord : For (as Saint Paul saitb
in fhe twelftb Cbapter to the. Hebrews) whom
fhe &rd lovetb be cbastenetb, and scourgetb
every son whom be receiyetb. If ye endure
chastening; God dealetb with you as with
sons; for wbat son is be whom fhe father cbas-
tenetb not? But if ye be without chastise-
ment, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, £ not sons. Furthermore, we bave
bad fathers of our ffesb, wbicb corrected us,
and we gave then? reverence: sbalf we not
much rather be in subjection unto tbe Fatber
of spirits, and live 7 Fortbejryerily for afew
days chastened us after their own pleasure;
but be for our profit, tbat we migbt be par-
takers of bis holiness. Tbese words, good
brother, are written in bob/ Scripture for
our comfort and instruction j tbat we sbould
patiently, and witb tbaijksgiyijjg, bear our
heaven^ Father's correction, whensoever
by any mabber of adversity it shall please
bis gracious goodness to yisit us. And tbere
sbould be i?o greater comfort to Christian
persons, than to be rpadc like unto Cbrist,
by suffering patiently adyersities, troubles,
and sicknesses. For be himself went not up
to joy, but first be suffered pain; be entered
ryot into bis glory before be was crucified. So
truly our way to eternal joy is to suffer here
witb Cbrist j aryd our door to enter into eter-
nal life is gladly to die witb Cbrist; tbat we
rnay rise again from death, and dwell witb
bin) in everlasting life. Now therefore, tak-
ing your sickness, wbicb is tbus profitable
for you, patienth/, I exhort you, in tbe Name
of God, to retnernber tbe profession wbicb
you xnade unto God in your Baptism- And
f&rasinucb as after tbis life tbere is an account
to be giver; unto tbe righteous Judge, by
whom all n?ust be judged, witbout respect of
persons, I require you to exaroine yourself
ar>d your estate, both toward God and man ;
so tbat, accusing and condensing yourself
for your own flults, you may find mercy
at our heavenly Father's band for Christ's
sake, ar>d not be accused and condensed in
that fearful judgement. Therefore I sbalf re-
hearse to you the Articles of our Faith, that
you rnay know whether you do believe as a
Christian man should, or no.
24S

Here the Minister shall rehearse the Articles
of the Faith, saying thus,

DOST thou believe in God the Father Al-
inigbty, Maker of heaven and earth?
And in Jesus Christ bis only-begotten Son
our Lord? And that be was conceived by the
Hob/ Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary ; that
be suffered under Pontius Pilate, was cruci-
fied, dead, andburied; that he went down in-
to helT, and also did rise again the third day;
that be ascended into heaver?, and sittetb at
the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
and from thence shall come again at the end
of fhe world, to judge the quick and fhe dead ?
And dost thou believe in the Hob/ Ghost; the
holy Catbolick Church; the Communion of
Saints; the Remission of sins; the Resurrec-
tion of fhe flesh ; & everlasting life after death ?
The sick person shall answer,

All this I stedfasth/ believe.
Then sbalf the Minister examine whether
be repent bin? truly of bis sins, and be in
charity with all the world; exhorting bin?
to forgive, ff on? the bottom of bis heart, all
persons that have offended bin? ; £ if be bath
offended any other, to ask then? forgiveness ;
and where be bath done injury or wrong to
any njan, that be make amends to the utter-
rnost of bis power. And if be bath not before
disposed of bis goods, let bin? then be admo-
nished to make bis Will, and to declare his
Debts, what be owetb, and what is owingun-
to bin?; for the betterdiscbargingof bis con-
science, 8& fhe quietness of bis Executors. But
njen should often be put in remembrance to
take order for the settling of their temporal
estates, whilst they are in health.
These words before rehearsed n?ay be said
before the Minister begin bis Prayer, as be
shall see cause.

The Minister should not onjit earnesth/ to
move such sick persons as are of ability to be
liberal to the poor.

Here shall fhe sick person be moved to make
a special Confession of bis sins, if be feel bis
conscience troubled with any weighty njat-
ter. After which Confession, the Priest sbalf
absolve bin? (if he bunjbly ffi heartily desire
it) after this sort.

OUR Lord Jesus Cbrist, who bath left
power to bis Church to absolve all sin-
ners who truly repent and believe in bin?, of
his great n?ercy forgive thee thine offences :

And by bis authority committed to n?e, I ab-
solve tbee from alT tby sins, In the Nan?e of
tbe Father, and of tbe Sop, ai?d of tbe Holy
Gbost. Aroei).

And tbeu the Priest shall say the Collect fol-
lowing*
Let us pray.

OMOST merciful God, who, accordingto
fhe multitude of thy mercies, dost so put
away tbe sins of tbose wbo truly repent, that
tbou rergenjberest them no more; Open
thine eye of mercy upot) this thy servant,
who most earnestly desiretb pardon and for-
giveness. Renew in him, most loving Father,
wbatsoeyer batb been decayed by tbe fraud
and malice of tbe devil, or by bis own carpal
wiff apd frailness; preserve & continue tbis
sick member in tbe unity of the Cburcbj
consider bis contrition, accept bis tears, as-
swage bis pah?, as sbaff seem to thee most ex-
pedient for bin?. Aijd forasmuch as be put-
ted) bis fail trust only ii) tby mercy, impute
not ui)to bin? bis former sips, but strengthen
him with tby blessedSpiritj ffi, wbeptbouart
pleased to take bin? bet)ce, take binjunto tby
favour, tbrougb ftve merits of tby njost dearly
beloved Son Jesus Cbrist our Lord. Amen.

Then sbaff tbe Minister say tbis Psalm.

IN TE, DOMINE, SPERAYI. Psalm bad.

IN thee, O Lord, bave I put my trust j let

and deliver me in tby righteousness* incline

Deliver me, O my God, out of the band of tbe
Ungodly : out of fh* band of tbe unrighteous

For tbou, O Lord God. art the thing that I

Cast rne not away in the time of age: forsake

For mine enemies speak against me, and they

that lay wait for my soul take their counsel

together, saying : Cod hath forsaken bun,

persecute bin?. & take bin?; for there is none

to deliver bin?*

Go not far from *ne, O God : my God, haste

tbee to help me.

Let them be confounded and perish that are

against my soul : let them be covered with

shame and dishonour tbat seek to do me evil.

As for me, I wiff patiently abide alway : and

I am gray-beaded : until I have shewed thy

Adding this*

OS AYIOUR of the world, wbo by thy
Cross K precious Blood bast redeemed

tbee, O Lord.
Then sbaff the Minister say,

HOPE OF RECOVERY.

O FATHER of mercies, and God of all
comfort, our only help in time of need ;
We fly unto thee for succour in behalf of this
thy servant, here lying under thy hand in
great weakness of body. ISok graciously up-

longer continuance amongst us: Yet, foras-
much as in all appearance the time of his dis-
solution drawetb near, so fit 82 prepare him,

A COMMENDATORY PRAYER FOR A
SICK PERSON AT THE POINT OF DE-
PARTURE.

O ALMIGHTY God, with whom do live
five spirits of just men made perfect, after
they are delivered from their earthly pri-
sons; We humbly commend the soul of this
thy servant, our dear brother, into thy
hands, as into the hands of a faithful Creator,
and most merciful Saviour ; most humbly
beseeching thee, that it may be precious in
thy sight. Wash it, we pray thee, in the blood
of that immaculate Lamb, that was slain to
take away the sins of the world; that whatso-
ever defilements it may have contracted in
fhe midst of this miserable & naughty world,
through the lusts of the flesh, or the wiles of
Satan, being purged and done away, it may
be presented pure and without spot before
thee. And teach us who survive, in this and
other like daily spectacles of mortality, to
see how frail and uncertain our own condi-
tion is; and so to number our days, that we
may seriously apply our hearts to that holy
and heavenly wisdom, whilst we live here,
which may in the end bring us to life ever-
lasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ
thine only Son our Lord. Amen.
A PRAYER FR PERSONS TROUBLED
IN MIND OR IN CONSCIENCE.

O BLESSED I2rd, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comforts j We beseech
thee, look down in pity 82 compassion upon
this thy afflicted servant. Thou writest bitter
things against him, K makest him to possess
his former iniquities; thy wrath lietb hard
upon him, and his soul is full of trouble : But,
O merciful God, who hast written thy holy
Word for our learning, that wo, through
patience and comfort of thy holy Scriptures,
might have hope; give him a right under-
standing of bimself,and of thy threats ffi pro-
mises ; that he may neither cast away his con-
fidence in thee, nor place it anywhere but in
fhee.Give him strength against all his tempta-
tions, 82 heal all his distempers . Break not fhe
bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.
Shut not up thy tender mercies in displea-
sure; butmakehimto hear of joy 82 gladness,
that the bones which thou hast broken may
rejoice. Deliyer him from fear of the enemy,
and lift upfhe light of thy countenance upon
him,® give him peace,through fhe merits and
mediation of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Tbe Priest and Clerks meeting tbe Corpse at tbe entrance of tbe Cburcb-yard, and going be*

DIXI, CUSTODIAM. Psalm xxxix.

I SAID, I will take heed to my ways : that
I offend not in my tongue.

I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle :
while the ungodly is in my sight.
I held my tongue, and spake nothing : I kept
silence, yea, even from good words; but it
was pain a nd grief to me.

252

My heart was hot within me, and while I was
thus musing fhe fire kindled : and at the last
I spake with my tongue ;
Lord, let me know mine end, and the num~
ber of my days : that I may be certified bow
long I have to liye.

Behold, thou hast made my days as it were
a span long ' and mine age is even as nothing
in respect of thee; and verily every man liv-
ing is altogether yanity.
For man walketb in a yain shadow, and dis-
quietetb himself in vain : be beapetb up ricb~
es, and cannot tell who shall gather tbem«
And now, Lord, what is my hope : truly my
hope is even in thee.

Deliver me from alf mine offences : and make
me not a rebuke unto the foolish.
I became dumb, and opened not my mouth :
fbr it was thy doing.

Take thy plague away from me : I am even
consumed by means of thy beayy band.
When thou with rebukes dost chasten man
for sin, thou makest bis beauty to consume
away, like as it were a moth fretting a gar-
ment : every man therefore is but vanity.
Hear my prayer, O Ii2rd, and with thine ears
consider my calling : bold not thy peace at
my tears.

For I am a stranger with fhee : 82 a sojourner,
as all my f&tbers were.

O spare ipe a little, that I tpay recover rpy

DOMINE, REFUGIUM. Psaln? xc.

LORD, tbou bast beep our refuge : frorp

Before fhc rpouptaips were brought forth, or
everfhe earth apd the world were ipade : thou
art God frorp everlasting, apd world without

Tpouturpestipap to destructiop : agaip thou
sayest, Coipe agaip, ye cbildrep of ipep.
For a thousand years ip thy sight are but as

As soop as thou scatterest then?, they are evep
as a sleep : apd facie away suddenly like the

Ip the iporpipg it is greep, apd groweth up :
but ip the eyepipg it is cut dowp, dried up,

For we copsuipe away it? thy displeasure :
apd are afraid at thy wrathful ipdigpatiop.
Thou hast set our rpisdeeds before thee : apd

For whep thou art apgry all our days are

The days of our age are threescore years apd

tbep but labour apd sorrow; so sooppassetb,

But who regardetb the power of thy wrath :
for eyep thereafter as a ipap fearetfy so is thy

So teach us to purpber our days : that we ipay

Turp thee agaip, O Lord, at the last : apd be

253

bare gr a i o, it may chance of wheat, or of sotne
other graii?: But God givetb it a body, as it
bath pleased bin?; and to every seed bis own
body. All ffesb is not fhc saine ffesb ; but fhere
is one kind of ffesb of men, anotber ffesb of
beasts, another of fishes, S, another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies
terrestrial ; but fhc glory of fhc celestial is one,
and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another
glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars; for one star diffe^tb from another star
in glory. So also is the resurrection of the
dead: It is sown in corruption; it is raised in
incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is
raised in glory: It is sown in weakness; it is
raised in power: It is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natu-
ral body, and there is a spiritual body. And
so it is written, The first man Ada it? was rpadc
a Hying soul ; the last Adam was made a
quickening spirit. Howbeit, that was not first
which is spiritual, but that which is natural ;
and afterward that which is spiritual. The
first man is of the earth, earthy: the second
man is the I2rd from heaven. As is the earthy,
such are they that are earthy: and as is the
heavenh/, such are they also that are heaven*
ly. And as we have borne the itnage of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly'. Tow this I say, brethren, that ffesb
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God; neither doth corruption inherit incor-
ruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery : We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
fhc last trump, (for fhc trumpet shall sound,)
and the dead sbalT be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. For this corrupti-
ble must put on incorruption, and this mor-
tal inust put on immortality. So when this
corruptible shall hove put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immorta-
lity; then sbalT be brought to pass the say-
ing that is written, Death is swallowed up in
victory. O death, where is thy sting 70 grave,
where is thy victory? The sting of death is
sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But
thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, un~
inoyeable, always abounding in the work of
the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your
labour is not in vain in the Lord.
**4

When they come to the Grave, while the
Corpse is made ready to be laid into fhc earth,
the Priest shall say, or the Priest and Clerks
shall sing:

MAN that is born of a woman bath but a
short time to liye, and is full of misery.
He coxneth up, and is cut down, like a flower ;
be ffeetb as it were a shadow, and never con*
tinuetb in one stay.

In the midst of life we are in death : of whom
may we seek for succour, but of tbee, O I2rd,
who for our sins art justly displeased?
Yet, O Lord God most boh/, O Lord most
mighty, O hob/ and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal
death.

Thou knowest, I2rd, the secrets of our hearts ;
shut not thy merciful ears to our prayer ; but
spare us,l2rd mostboly,0 God most mighty,
O boh/ ffi merciful Saviour, thou most wor-
thy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last
hour, for any pains of death, to fall from G*ee.

Then, while the earth shalT be cast upon the
Body by some standing by, the Priest shall
say,

FORASMUCH as it hath pleased Al-
mighty God of his great mercy to take
unto himself fhc soul of our dear brother here
departed, we therefore commit his body to
fhc ground ; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust; in sure ffi certain hope of the Resur-
rection to eternal life, through our Lord
Jesus Christ ; who shall change our vile
body, that it maybe like unto bis glorious
body, according to the mighty working,
whereby he is able to subdue all things to
himself.

Then shall be said or sung»

I HEARD avoicefrombeaven,sayingun~
to me, Write, From henceforth blessed
arc the dead which die in the Lord: even so
saitb the Spirit; for tbe<y rest from their la-
bours.

Then the Priest shall say,
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

OUR Father, which art in heaven, Hal-
lowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in

And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive

XX RETHREN, in the Primitive Church
JeO there was a godly discipline, that, at the
beginning of Lent, such persons as stood
convicted of notorious sin were put to open
penance, and punished in this world, that
their souls might be saved in the day of the
Lord; and that others, admonished by their
example, might be the more afraid to offend.
Instead whereof, until the said discipline
may be restored again; (which is much to be
wished,) it is thought good, that at this time
(in the presence of you all) should be read the
general sentences of God's cursing against
impenitent sinners, gathered out of the seyen
and twentieth Chapter of Deuteronomy* and
other places of Scripture; and that ye should
answer to eyery Sentence, Amen ' To the in-
tent that, being admonished of the great in-
dignation of God against sinners, ye may fhe
rather be moved to earnest and true repen-
tance; and may walk more warily in these

NOW seeing tbat all tbejr are accursed (as
fhepropbetDavidbearetbwitness)wbo
do err 8 go astray from tbe commandments
of God ; let us (remembering tbe dreadful
judgment banging over our beads, and al-
ways ready to fall upon us) return unto our
Lord God, witb all contrition and meekness
of beart j bewailing and lamenting our sin-
ful life, acknowledging and confessing our
offences, and seeking to bring fortb worthy
fruits of penance. For now is the axeput un-
to the root of the trees, so that every tree that
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire. It is a fearful thing to
fill into the bands of five living God: be shall
pour down rain upon fhe sinners, snares, fire
and brimstone, storm and tempest j tbissbalT
be their portion to drink. For lo, the Lord is
come out of his place to visit the wickedness
of such as dwell upon fhe earth. But who may
abide the day of bis coming? Who shall be
able to endure when be appearetb? His fan
is in bis band, and be will purge bis ffoor,
and gather bis wheat into the barn; but be
will burn tbe chaff with unquenchable fire.
The day of the Lord cometb as a thief in the
night: and when men sbalf say, Peace, and
all things are safe, then shall sudden destruc-
tion come upon them, as sorrow cometb up-
2S8

on a woman travailing with child, and they
shall not escape. Then shall appear fhe wrath
of God in the day of vengeance, which ob-
stinate sinners, through the stubbornness of
their heart, have heaped unto themselves ;
which despised the goodness, patience, and

3 The sorrows of death compassed me : and

7 The earth trembled and quaked : the very

2 There wept a smoke out in bis presence :

that coals were kindled at it.

265

t5 The springs of waters were seen; and the
foundations of the round world were disco-

of the breath of thy displeasure.
%6 He shall send down from on high to fetch
me : and shall take me out of many waters.

2t Because I have kept the ways of the ISrd :
and have not forsaken my God, as the wicked
doth.

22 For I have an eye unto all bis laws : and
will not cast out bis commandments from
me.

23 I was also uncorrupt before him : and es-
chewed mine own wickedness.

24 Therefore shall the Lord reward me after
my righteous dealing : and according unto
the cleanness of my hands in bis eye-sight.
,25 With the holy thou shalt be holy : and
with a perfect man tbou shalt be perfect.

26 With the clean thou shalt be clean : S with

adversity : and shalt bring down the high
looks of the proud.

28 Thou also shalt light my candle : the ferd
my God shall make my darkness to be light.

29 For in thee I shall discomfit an host of
men : and with the help of my God I shall
leap over the wall.

is the defender of all them that put their trust

in him.

DOMINE, NE IN FURORE.

CIT roe not to rebuke,
OlSrd, in thine anger:
neither chasten n?e ip
thy heavy displea-
sure.

2 For thine arrows

stick fast in xne : and

thy band pressetb n?e

sore.

STbere is no health

in n?y ffesb, because of thy displeasure : nei~

tber is there any rest in n?y bones, by reason

oftnysin.

4For n?y wickednesses are gone over n?y

280

bead : and are like a sore burden, too beayy
for roe to bear.

5My wounds stink, £ are corrupt : through
n?y fooEsbness.

61 an? brought into so great trouble and
xpisery : tbat I go rejourning all tbe day
long.

7 For iny loins are filled with a sore disease :
and tbere is no whole part in iny body.
S I axn feeble, and sore sxnitten : I bare roared
for tbe very disquietness of iny heart,
o Bird, tbou knowcst all n?y desire : and rny
groaning is not bid frorn thee.
% o My heart pantetb, iny strength bath failed
ine : and tbe sight of inine eyes is gone froin
roe.

\ i My lovers and iny neighbours did stand
looking upon iny trouble : and iny kinsinen
stood afar off.

i2Tbey also that sought after rpy life laid
snares for roe : and they that went about to
do roc evil talked of wickedness, £ imagined
deceit all the day long.
13 As for ine, I was like a deaf inan, £ beard
not : and as one that is durnb, who doth not
open bis inoutb.

1 4 1 becaroe even as a inan that bearetb not :
and in whose inoutb are no reproofs.
1 5 For in thee, O Lord, have I put iny
trust : tbou sbalt answer for ine, O Lord iny
God.

16 1 have required that they, even inine ene~
tnies, should not triuinpb over ine : for when
iny foot slipped, they rejoiced greatly a~
gainst ine.

1 7 And I, truly, an? set in the plague : and iny
heaviness is eyer in iny sight.
\ 8 For I will confess iny wickedness : and be
sorry for iny sin.

toBut inine enemies live, and are inigbty :
apd they that bate ine wrongfully are rnany
in nuinber.

20 They also that reward eyil for good are
against ine : because I follow the thing that
good is.

2t Forsake ine not, O Lord iny God : be not

was thus rousing the fire kindled : and at the

I have to live.

6 Behold, thou hast inade iny days as it were
a span long : and inine age is even as nothing
in respect of tbee; and verily every rnan Hy-
ing is altogether vanity.

7 For inan walketh in a vain shadow, and
disquietetb bunself in vain : be heaped) up
riches, and cannot tell who shall gather

5 And now, Lord, what is iny hope : truly
iny hope is even in thee.

9Deliverinefroin all inine offences : £rnake
ine not a rebuke unto the foolish.

tolbecaine durnb,£ opened not iny inoutb:

I I Take thy plague away froin ine : I arn

1 2 When tbou with rebukes dost chasten
inan for sin, thou inakest bis beauty to con~
surne away, like as it were a inotb fretting a
garinent : eyery inan therefore is but vanity.

tjHear iny prayer, O Lord, and with thine
ears consider toy calling : bold nottby peace

MAGNUS DOMINUS.

REAT is the ISrd, and
highly to be praised :

2 The hill of Sion is a
fair place, and the joy
of the whole earth :
upon the nortb-side
lieth the city of the

great King; God is well known in her pala-

ces as a sure refuge.

3 For lo.fhe kings of five earth • are gathered,
and gone by together.

4 They marvelled to sec such things : they
were astonished, and suddenly cast down*

5 Fear came there upon then?, and sorrow:
as upon a woman in her travail.

6 Thou shalt break the ships of the sea :
through the east-wind.

7 Like as we have heard, so have we seen in
the city of the I2rd of hosts, in the city of our
God : God upholdeth the same for ever.

3 We wait for thy loving-kindness, O God :
in the tnidst of thy temple.

9 O God, according to thy Name, so is thy
praise unto the world's end : thy right hand
is full of righteousness.

10 Let the inount Sion rejoice, £ the daugh-
ter of Judab be glad : because of thy judg~
xnents.

3 My mouth shall

n>y heart shall muse

4 1 will incline n>ine ear to the parable : and

shew my dark speech upon the harp.

5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of wick-
edness : 82 when the wickedness of my heels
coinpassetb me round about?

6 There be some that put their trust in their
goods : & boast themselves in the multitude
of their riches.

7 But no man may deliver his brother : nor
make agreement unto God for bin? j

8 For it cost more to redeem their souls : so
that he must let that alone for ever j

9 Yea, though he live long : and see not the
graye.

to For he seeth that wise men also die, and
perish together : as well as the ignorant and
foolish, and leave their riches for other.
1 1 And yet they think that their houses sbalf
continue for ever : and that their dwelling-
places shall endure from one generation to
another j and call the lands after their own
names.

\2 Nevertheless, man will not abide in ho-
nour : seeing he may be compared unto the
beasts that perish J this is the way of them*
13 This is their foolishness : and their pos-
terity praise their saying.
x 4 They lie in fhe hell like sheep, death gnaw-
ed? upon them* and the righteous shall have

286

dotnination oyer then) in fhe noorning : their

beauty shall consurne in the sepulchre out of

their dwelling.

1 5 But God bath delivered tny soul fron? fhe

place of hell : for he shall receiye roe.

t6 Be not thou afraid, though ope be rpadc

rich : or if fhe glory of his house be increased;

17 For he shall carry nothing away with

bin? whet? he dietb : neither shall his pornp

follow bin?.

x 8 For while he liyed, he counted biinself an

happy inan : and so long as thou doest well

unto thyself, njerj will speak good of thee.

19 He shall follow the generation of his fa-
thers : and shall neyer see light.

7 And wby 7 for tby sake nave I suffered re-

1 5 Take me out of the mire, that I sink not :
O let tne be delivered from then? that hate

16 Let not five water-ffood drown roe, neither
let the deep swallow xne up : and let not the

22 They gaye xne gall to eat : and wbex? I was
thirsty tbey gave xne yinegar to drink.

23 Let tbeir table be rnade a snare to take

24 Let their eyes be blinded, that they see

25 Pour out thine indignation upon then? :
and let thy wrathful displeasure take hold of

26 Let their habitation be void : and no xnan

28 Let then? fall front? one wickedness to an-

29 Let then? be wiped out of the book of the

2 Nevertheless, njy

3 And why? I was

I do also see tbe ungodly in sucb prosperity.

4 For tbey are in no peril of death : but are

7 Their eyes swell with f&tness : and tbey do
even what tbey lust.

5 Tbey corrupt other, and speak of wicked

to Therefore fall the people unto then? : and
thereout suck they no srnall advantage.
t t Tush, say they, bow should God perceive
it : is there knowledge in the rnost High?
12L0, these are the ungodly, these prosper
in the world, and these have riches in pos-
session : and I said. Then have I cleansed njy
heart in vain, and washed n?ine hands in in-

13 All the day long have I been punished :
and chastened every inorning.
t4 Yea, and I bad aln?ost said even as they :
but lo, then I should have conderoned the

tSThen thought I to understand this : but
it was too bard for toe,

ATTENDITE, POPULE.

EAR xpy law, O xpy
people : irjclipe your
ears upto tbe words
of rpy n?outb.
2 1 will opep spy
xpoutb ip a parable :
I will declare bard
septepcesof old:
3 Which we bare
_ beard apd kpowp :
ai?d sucb as our fathers baye told us;

4 Tbat we should pot bide tbexp frotp tbe
cbildrep of tbe geperatiops to coxpe : but to
sbew the bopour of the Lord, bis xpigbty apd
wopderful works tbat be batb dope.

5 He xpade a coyepapt with Jacob, apd gaye
Israel a law : which be corpxpapdedour Bra*
fathers to teacb their cbildrep;

6 Tbat tbeir posterity xpigbt kpow it : apd
the cbildrep wbicb were yet upborp;

7 To the iptept that wbep tbey caxpeup : they
tpigbt sbew tbeir cbildrep tbe saxpe :

'8 Tbat they xpigbt put tbeir trust it) God :
apd pot to forget tbe works of God, but to
keep bis coxpxpapdxpepts;
o Apd pot to be as tbeir forefathers, a faith-
less apd stubborp geperatiop : a geperatiop
that set pot tbeir heart aright, £ whose spirit
cleavetb pot stedfastly upto God;
to Like as tbe cbildrep of Epbraixp : who
beipgbarpessed, apd carryipgbows, turped
tbexpselyes back ip tbe day of battle.
it Tbey kept pot the coyepapt of God : apd
would pot walk ip bis law;
i2 But f&rgat what be bad dope : £ the wop*
derful works tbat be bad shewed for tpexp.

13 Marvellous tbipgs did be ip the sight of

our forefathers, ip the lapd of Egypt : evep

ip the field of Zoap.

\4 Hediyidedfhe sea, 8S let tbexp go through :

be xpade the waters to stapd op ap heap.

t5 Ip the day~tixpe also he led tpexp with a

cloud : apd all the pigpt through with a light

of fire.

t6 He clave Orchard rocks ip tbe wilderpess :

apd gaye tbexp dripk thereof, as it bad beep

out of the great depth*

\j He brought waters out of the stopy rock :

so that it gushed out like the riyers.

xZ Yet for all this tbey sipped xpore agaipst

bixp : apd provoked the xpost Highest ip tbe

wilderpess.

to They texppted God ip their hearts : apd

required xpeat for their lust.

20 They spake agaipst God also, sayipg:

Shall God prepare a table ip the wilderpess?

2t He sxpote the stopy rock ipdecd, that the

water gushed out, apd the streaxps flowed

withal : but cap be give bread also, or pro*

yide ff esb for bis people ?

22 Wbep the Lord heard this, be was wroth :

SO tbe fire was kipdled ip Jacob, apd there

caxpe up beayy displeasure agaipst Israel;

23 Because they belieyed pot ip God : apd
put pot their trust ip bis help.

24 So be corpipapded the clouds aboye : apd
opeped the doors of beayep.

25 He raiped dowp xpappa also upop tbexp
for to eat : apd gaye tbexp food froxp beayep.

26 So xpap did eat apgels' food : for be sept
tbexp xpeat epougb*

27 He caused the east~wipd to blow upder
beayep : apd through bis power be brought
ip the south-west- wipd.

28 He raiped ffesb upop tbexp as thick as
dust : apd feathered fowls like as the sand of
tbe sea.

29 Heletitfallaxpopg their teptsteyeproupd
about tbeir habitation .

30 So tbey did eat, apd were well filled; for
be gaye tbexp their owp desire : tbey were pot
disappointed of their lust.

3* Butwbilethexpeatwasyetipfheirxpoutbs,
the beayy wrath of God caxpeupoptbexp, apd
slew the wealthiest of tbexp : yea, apd sxpote
dowp the cbosep xpep that were ip Israel.
32 But for all this tbey sipped yet xpore : apd
belieyed pot bis wopdrous works.

302

33 Therefore tbeir days did be consume in
vanity : and tbeir years ii> trouble.

34 Wbenbeslewtbem«tbeysougbtbim:and
turned then? early, and inquired after God.

35 And tbey remembered that God was fheir
strength : & tbat the high God was tbeir re-
deemer.

36 Nevertheless, tbey did but ffatter bin?
with their mouth : and dissembled witbbim
in their tongue.

37 For tbeir beart was not wbole witb bin? :
neither continued tbey stedfast in bis cove-
nant.

38 But be was so merciful, tbat be forgave
tbeir misdeeds : and destroyed then? not.

39 Yea, many a tin?e turned be bis wratb
away : and would pot suffer bis wbole dis-
pleasure to arise.

40 For be considered tbat tbey were but
ffesb : and tbat tbey were eyen a wind tbat
passetb away, and con?etb not again.

4 1 Mapy a tin?e did tbey proyoke bin? in the
wilderness : and grieved bin? it? tbe desert.

42 Tbey turned back, and tempted God : and
n?oyed tbe Holy One in Israel.

43 Tbey thought not of bis band : and of tbe
day wben be deliyered ti?em fron? tbe band
of the enemy J

44 How be bad wrought bis n?iracles in
Egypt : and bis wonders in fhe field ofZoax).

45 He turned tbeir waters into blood : so tbat
tbey n?igbt not drink of tbe rivers.

<i6 He sent lice an?ong tben?, and devoured
tnen? up : and frogs to destroy tben?.

47 He gave tbeir fruit unto tbe caterpillar :
and tbeir labour unto tbe grassbopper.

48 He destroyed tbeir yines witb bail-stones:
and tbeir n?ulberry-trees witb tbe frost.

49 He sn?ote fheir cattle also witb bail-stones :
and tbeir flocks witb bot thunderbolts.

50 He cast upon tben? tbe furiousness of bis
wratb; anger, displeasure, and trouble : and
sent evil angels among tben?.

St He made a way to bis indignation; and
spared not tbeir soul fron? death : but gave
tbeir life over to tbe pestilence j

52 And sn?ote all tbe first-born in Egypt :
tbe n?ost principal 82 mightiest in tbe dwell-
ings of Han?.

53 But as for bis own people, be led tben?
forth like sheep : and carried tben? in fhe wil-
derness like a ffock.

54 He brougbt tben? out safely, tbat tbey
should not fear : and overwhelmed tbeir ene-
mies witb tbe sea.

55 And brought then? within the borders of
bis sanctuary : even to bis n?ountain which
he purchased with bis right band.

56 He cast out the heathen also before then? :
caused their land to be divided an?ong thorn
for an heritage, and n?ade the tribes of Israel
to dwell in tbeir tents.

57 So tbey tempted, and displeased the n?ost
high God : and kept not his testimonies;

58 But turned fheir backs, and fell away like
tbeir forefathers : starting aside like a broken
bow.

59 For tbey grieyed bin? with their bill~
altars : 85 provoked bin? to displeasure witb
their images.

60 When God beard this, be was wroth : and
took sore displeasure at Israel.

61 So that be forsook the tabernacle in Silo :
even fhe tent that be bad pitched among men*

62 He delivered their power into captivity :
and their beauty into the enemy's band.

63 He gave bis people over also unto tbe
sword : and was wroth with bis inheritance.

64 The fire consumed their young men : and
their maidens were not given to marriage.

65 Tbeir priests were slah? with the sword :
and there were no widows to make lamenta-
tion*

66 So tbe Lord awaked as one out of sleep :
and like a giant refreshed with wine.

67 He smote his enemies in fhe hinder parts :
and put them to a perpetual sban?e.

68 He refused the tabernacle of Joseph : and
chose not the tribe of Epbrain? j

69 But chose the tribe of Judab : even the
bill of Sion which be loved.

7° And there be built bis temple on high 1

and laid the foundation of it like the ground

which he bath made continually.

7 » He chose David also bis servant : and took

him away from the sbeep-f&lds.

7 2 As be was fallowing the ewes great with

young ones be took him • that he might feed

Jacob bis people, and Israel bis inheritance.

73 So be fed then? with a faithful and true

heart : and ruled them prudently with all

bis power.

And gather^ them out of the lands, from the

east, and from the west: from the north, and

They wept astray in the wilderness out of

the way : and found no city to dwell in j

Hungry R thirsty : foeir soulf&intedin»em.

So tbey cried untofha Lord in their trouble :

arjd be deliyered them from their distress.

He led them f6rtb by tbe right wa y : that

tbey might go to tbe city where they dwelt.

O tbat men would therefore praise tbe Lord

for bis goodness : and declare tbe wonders

that be doetb for the children of n?eh J

For be satisfietb tbe empty soul : and filletb

tbe hungry soul witb goodness.

Sucb as sit in darkness, ax?d in tbc sbadow

of deatb : being fast bound in misery and

iron*

Because tbey rebelled against tbe words of
tbe Lord : and ligbthr regarded tbe counsel
of tbe njost Highest ;

He also brought down their heart through
heaviness : they fell do wp, £ there was none
to help then?.

So whex> they cried unto the Lord it) their
trouble : he delivered then? out of their dis-
tress.

For he brought them out of darkness, and
out of tb&sbadow of death : and brake their
boi?ds ix) sur>dcr.

O that tx)ox) would therefore praise the Lord
for bis goodness : and declare the wonders
tbat b e doetb for the children of men •
For be bath broken the gates of brass : and
sroitten the bars of iron in sunder.
Foolish n?cn are plagued for their offence :
and because of their wickedness.
Tbeir soul abhorred all inanner of meat : ar>d
they were even hard at death's door.
So when they cried unto the Lord in their
trouble : he deliyered then? out of their dis-
tress.

He sent bis word, and healed then?: and fhey
were saved from their destruction.
O that men would therefore praise the Lord
for bis goodness : and declare the wonders
that he doetb for the children of men I
That they would offer unto bin? the sacri-
fice of thanksgiving : and tell out bis works
with gladness!

They that go down to the sea in ships : and
occupy their business in great waters}
346

These xnenseeihft works of the Lord: and bis
wonders in the deep.

For at bis word the stormy wind arisetb :
which liftetb up the wayes thereof.
Tbey are carried up to the. heaven, and down
again to (he deep: their soul rpeltctb a way be-
cause of the trouble.

Tbey reel to 82 fro, and stagger like a drunken
n?an : and are at their wit's end.
So when tbey cry unto the Lord in their
trouble : he deliveretb tbexn out of their dis-
tress.

For be makctb the storm to cease: so that fhe
waves thereof are still.
Then are tbey glad, because they are at rest :
and so bebringetbftvenjuntofhahaven where
tbey would be.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord
for bis goodness : and declare the wonders
that he doetb for the children of men !
That they would exalt bin? also in the con-
gregation of the people : and praise biro in
the seat of the elders !

Who turnetbfheffoods into a wilderness: and
drietb up the water-springs.
A fruitful land znaketb he barren *• for the
wickedness of then? that dwell therein*
Again; he maketb the wilderness a standing
water : and water-springs of a dry ground.
And there be settetb the hungry : that tbey
tnay build them a city to dwell in J
That tbey may sow their land, 82 plant vinc-
yards : to yield then? fruits of increase.
He blessed) then?, so that tbey multiply ex-
ceedingly : and sufferetb not their cattle to
decrease.

And again, when they are xninisbed, and
brought low : through oppression, through
any plague, or trouble;
Though be suffer then? to be eyil intreated
through tyrants : and let then? wander out
of the way in the wilderness j
Yet belpetb be the poor out of misery : and
tpaketbhitn households likeaffock of sheep.
The righteous will consider this, and rejoice:
and the rooutb of all wickedness shall be
stopped.

Whoso is wise will ponder these things : and
they sbalT understand the loving-kindness
of tbe Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Sop : and
to the Holy Ghost j

As it was in the beginning, is «>ow, apd ever

THE EPISTLE, i Tin?, iii. 8.

LIKEWISE must the Deacons be grave,
xjot double tongued, pot given to n?ucb
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre, holding fhe
mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
And let these also first be proyedj then let
then) use fhe Office of a Deacon,being found
blameless. Even so must their wives be grave,
not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
Let fhe Deacons be fhe husbands of one wife,
ruling their children and their own houses
well. For they that have used the Office of a
Deacon well purchase to themselves a good
degree, ffi great boldness in the faith which
is in Christ Jesus.

Or else this, out of tbe sixtbof the Acts of tbe

Apostles.

Actsvi.2.

THEN the twelve called the multitude of
the disciples unto then?, and said, It is
not reason that we should leave the Word of
God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren,
look ye out among you seven n?en of honest
report, full of tbe Holy Ghost and wisdom*
whom we n?ay appoint oyer this business.
But we will give ourselves continually to
prayer, £ to the ministry of the Word. And
fhe saying pleased fhe whole multitude. And
they chose Stephen, a coan full of faith, £ of
aaz

the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Procborus.
and Nicanor, and Thnon, « Partnenas, and
Nicolas a proselyte of Antiocb; wbonj they
set before the Apostles; and, when they had
prayed, they laid their hands on then?. Ai?d
the Word of God increased, and the number
of tbe disciples n?ulti plied in Jerusalem?
greatly, and a great company of the Priests
were obedient to the faith.

And before fhe Gospel. tb« Bishop, sitting ii>
bis chair, shall exanjine every one of then?

LET your loins be girded about, and your

unto men that wait for their Lord, when he

PREVENT us, O Lord, in all our doings

THE FORM AND MANNER OF ORDERING OF
PRIESTS.

When the day appointed by the Bishop is come, after Morning Prayer is coded, there shall
be a Sermon or Exhortation, declaring the Duty apd Office of such as cotpetofee admitted

mined thein, and think then? so to be.

Then the Bishop shall say unto the people;

GOOD people, these are they whom we

T3 LMIGHTY God,givcr of all good things,

THE EPISTLE. Epbes.iv.7.

UNTO every one of us is given grace, ac~
cording to the measure of the gift of
Christ. Wherefore he saitb, When he ascend-
ed up on high; he led captivity captive, and
gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended,
wbatisitbuttbat he also descended first into
the lower parts of the earth? He that de-
scended, is the same also that ascended up
far above all heavens, that he might fill all
things.) And be gaye some Apostles, £ some
Prophets, and some Evangelists, and some
Pastors and Teachers; for the perfecting of
the Saints, for the work of the Ministry, for
the edifymg of the Body of Christ; till we all
coine in fhe unity of the faith; Sof the know-
ledge of the Sop of God, unto a perfect man*
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness
of Christ.

357

After this sbaffbe read for the Gospel part of
the ninth Chapter of Saint Matthew, as f&l-

S. Matt. ix. 36.

WHEN Jesus sawfhe n?ultitudes,bewas
njoved witb con?passion 01? then?, be-
cause they fainted, ffi were scattered abroad
as sbecp having no shepherd. Then saitb be
unto bis disciples, Tbe harvest truly is plen~
teous, but tbe labourers are few. Pray ye
therefore tbe Lord of fhe baryest, tbat be will
sei?d forth labourers into bis baryest.

Or else tbis tbat followetb, out of the tenth
Cbapter of Saint John*

S. John x. u

YERILY, verily I say unto you, He that
enteretb not by tbe door into the sheep-
fold, but clinjbetb up son?e other way, the
san?c is a thief and a robber. But be that en-
teretb in by the door is the Shepherd of the
sheep. To bin? the porter opepetb, and the
sheep hear bis yoice; and he called? bis own
sheep by naine, and leadetb then? out. And
when be puttetb forth his own sheep be go-
etb before then?, and the sheep follow bin?;
for they Jojow bis yoice. And a stranger will
tbey not follow, but will ffee fron? bin?; for
they know not the yoice of strangers. This
parable spake Jesus unto then?, but they un-
derstood not what things tbey were which
he spake urjto then?. Then said Jesus uryto
tl?en? again, Verify, verijy I say unto you, I
an? the door of the sheep. All that eyer canoe
before n?e are tbieyes and robbers; but the
sheep did pot bear then?. I an) the door; by
rne if any n?an enter i r>, he shall be sayed, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture. The
thief coined? not but for to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy: I an? coine that they n?igbt
baye life, and that they n?igbt baye it rnore
abundantly. I an? the good Shepherd : the
good Shepherd givetb his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the Shep-
herd, whose own the sheep are not, seetb the
wolf coining, and leaved? the sheep, S ffeetb;
and the wolf catched? then?, and scattered?
the sheep. The hireling ffeetb, because he is
an hireling, and caretb not for the sheep. I
an? the good Shepherd, and know n?y sheep,
and an? known of n?h?e. As the Father Ja?ow-
etb n?e, even so know I the Father ; and I lay
down n?y life for the sheep. And other sheep
35S

I have, which are not of this fold : then? also
I n?ust bring* and they shall bear n?y yoice;
and there sbalF be one fold, and one Shep-
herd.

Then the Bishop, sitting in bis chair, shall
say unto then? as hereafter followed).

YOU baye beard, Brethren, as well in your
priyate examination, as in the exhorta-
tion which was now n?ade to you, and in the
bojy Lessons taken out of the Gospel, and the
writings of tbeApostles, of what dignity, and
of how greatin?portance this Office is, where-
unto ye are called. And now again we exhort
you, in the Naine of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you have in ren?en?brance, into how
high a Dignity, and to how weighty an Office
and Charge ye are called : that is to say, to be
Messengers, Watcbinen, and Stewards of the
Lord; to teach, and to pren?onisb, to feed and
provide for the Lord's fan?ily; to seek for
Cbrist'ssbeeptbat are dispersed abroad, and
for bis children who are u? the n?idst of this
naughty world, that they n?ay be saved
through Christ for eyer.
Have always therefore printed in your re-
n?en?brance, bow great a treasure is con?-
n?itted to your charge. For they are fhe sheep
of Christ, which be bought with his death,
and for wbon? he shed bis blood.Tbe Cburcl?
and Congregation wbon? you inust serye, is
bis Spouse, and bis Body. And if it shall
happen the san?e Church, or any Men?ber
tl?ereof, to take any hurt or hindrance by
reason of your negligence,ye know fhe great-
ness of the fault, S£ also the horrible punish-
inent that will ensue. Wherefore consider
with yourselyes tl?e end of your Ministry
towards the children of God, towards the
Spouse and Bodyof Christ; andseetbatyou
neyer cease your labour, your care and dili-
gence, until you baye done all tbat lied? in
you, according to your bounden duty, to
bring all such as are or shall be con?n?itted
to your charge, unto that agreen?ent in the
faith 82 knowledge of God, and to that ripe-
ness and perfectness of age in Christ, that
there be no place left an?ong you, either for
error in religion, or for yiciousness in life.
Forasn?ucb then as your Office is both of so
great excellency, and of so great difficulty,
ye see with how great care £ study ye ought
toapph/yourselves, as well tbatyen?ay shew

yourselves dutiful ar?d thankful unto that
Lord, who bath placed you ig so high a Dig-

bis Holy Spirit. And seeing tbat you cannot
by any otber means compass tbe doing of so
weighty a work, pertaining to tbe salvation
of man, but with doctrine ar?d exhortation
taken out of tbe holy Scriptures, and witb a
life agreeable to tbe sarne; consider bow stu-

/-*OME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,

Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart.

Thy blessed Unction frorp above,
Is con?fort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dulness of our blinded sight.
360

Apoipt and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of thy grace.

Keep far our foes, give peace at borne:
Where thou art guide, no ill can corpe.

Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but One.
That, through the ages all along,
This rpay be our endless song)

Praise to thy eternal rperit,
Father, Son, and Hob/ Spirit.

Or this:

COME, Holy Ghost, eternal God,
Proceeding f rorp above,

Both f rorp the Father and the -Sop,
The God of peace and love;

Visit our rpipds, into our hearts
Thy heayeph/ grace inspire;

That truth apd godliness we rpay
Pursue with f&ll desire.

Thou art the very Corpforter
Ip grief apd all distress;

The beav'nly gift of God roost high*
No topgue cap it express;

The fountain apd the livipg spring
Of joy celestial;

The fire so bright, the love so sweet,
The Unctiop spiritual.

Thou ip thy gifts art rpapif&ld,
By tperp Christ's Church doth stand :
Ip faithful hearts thou writ'st thy law,
The finger of God's hand.

According to thy prorpise, Lord,
Thou givest speech with grace;
That thro' thy help God's praises rpay
Resound ip every place.

O Holy Ghost, ipto our rpipds
S&od dowp thy heav'ply light;
Kindle our hearts with ftrvept zeal,
To serve God day apd night.

(For, Lord, thou kipow'st us frail;)
That neither devil, world, nor ffesh,
Agaipst us rpay prevail.

Put back our eneiny f&r fron? us,
Ai?d help us to obtain

Peace in our hearts with God apd man,
(The best, the truest gain;)

And grant tbat thou being, O Lord,
Our leader and our guide,
We n?ay escape the spares of sip,
And never fron? thee slide.

Such measures of thy powerful grace
Grant, Lord, to us, we pray j
Tbat thou npay'st be our Comforter
At the last dreadful day.

Of strife and of dissension
Dissolve, O Lord, the bands,
And knit the knots of peace and love
Throughout all Christian lands.

Grant us the grace that we may know
The Father of all might,
That we of his beloved Son
May gain the blissful sight;

And that we may with perfect fSith
Ever acknowledge thee,
The Spirit of Father, and of Son,
One God in Persons Three.

To God the Father laud and praise,
And to his blessed Son,
And to the tio\y Spirit of grace,
Co-equal Three in One.

And pray we, that our only Lord
Would please his Spirit to send
On all that shall profess his Name,
Fron? hence to the world's end. Amen*

That done, the Bishop shall pray in this wise,
and say,

Let us pray.

Then the Bishop shall deliver to every one
of then? kneeling, the Bible into his hand,
saying,

TAKE thou Authority to preach ftve Word

*]B[ LMIGHTY God, who by thy Son Jesus
/ I Christ didst giye to thy holy Apostles
rnany excellent gifts, and didst charge then?
to feed thy flock; Giye grace, we beseech thee,
to all Bishops, the Pastors of thy Church,
that they n?ay diligently preach thy Word,
and duly administer the god^y Discipline
thereof; 8 grant to the people, that they n?ay
obediently f611ow the saroe; that all tnay re~
ceiye fhe crown of everlasting glory; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. An?en.

And another Bishop shall read the Epistle.
tTitn.iii.i.

THIS is a true saying, If a n?an desire the
Office of a Bishop, he desiretb a good
work. A Bishop then ipust be blanjeless, the
husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good
behayiour, given to hospitality, apt to teach I
not giyen to wine, no striker, not greedy of
filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not
coyetous; oi?e that ruletbwellbis own house,
having his children in subjection with all
gravity; (For if a n?an know not how to rule
his own house, how shall he take care of the
Church of God?) Not a novice, lest being
lifted up with pride he fall into the con~
detnnation of the deyil. Moreoyer, he n?ust
have a good report of then? which are witb~
out ; lest he fall into reproach; and the snare
of the devil.

Or this.

FOR THE EPISTLE. Acts xx. 17.

FROM Miletus Paul sent to Epbesus, and
called fhcelders of fhc Church. Ar?dwbei?

they were conje to bin?, be said unto then?,
Ye know, fron? the first day that I carne into
Asia, after what n?anner I have been with you
at all seasons, serving the Lord with all hu-
mility of n?ind, and with n?any tears and
ten?ptations which befgll n?e by the lying in
wait of the Jews: And how I kept back no-
thing that was profitable unto you, but have
shewed you, 8 have taught you publickly,
and fron? house to house, testifying both to
the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance
toward God, £ faith toward our Lord Jesus
Christ. And now behold, I go bound in the
spirit unto Jerusalen?, not knowing the
things that shall befall n?e there ; save that the
Holy Ghost witnessed? u? eyery city, saying,
That bonds and afflictions abide n?e. But

?one of these things n?ove n?e, neither coui?t
n?y life dear unto n?yself, so that I n?ight
finish n?y course with joy, and the n?u?istry
wl?icb I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the Gospel of the grace of God. Ai?d
now behold, I know that ye all, an?ong whon?
I have gone preaching the kingdon? of God,
shall see n?y face no n?ore. Wherefore I take
you to record this day, that I an? pure fron?
the blood of all n?en. For I have t?ot shunned
to declare ut?to you all the counsel of God.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to
all the flock oyer the which the Holy Ghost
hath ipade you Overseers, to f5ed fhe Church
of God, which he hath purchased with his
own blood. Fr I know this, that after n?y de-
parting shall grievous wolves enter ii? an?ong
you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own
selves shaft n?en arise speaking perverse
things, to draw away disciples after then?.
Therefore watch, and ren?en?ber, that by the
space of three y ears,I ceased not to wan? every
or;e night and day with tears. At?d now,brc~
tbren, I con?n?end you to God, & to the word
of bis grace, which is able to build you up.
and to giye you an inheritance an?ong all
then? which are sanctified. I have coveted no
tnan's silver, or gold, or apparel; yea, ye

363

yourselves know, that these bands hare n?i-
ijistcred unto n?y necessities, £ to then? that
were with n?e. I baye slewed you all thing**;
bow that so labouring ye ought to support
the weak j and to reipenjber the words of the
Lord Jesus, bow be said, It is n?ore blessed
to giye than to receiye.

Then another Bishop sbaU read tb« Gospel.

IO RETHREN, it is written in the Gospel
KJ of Saint Luke, That our Saviour Christ
continued the whole night in prayer, before

COME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire.
Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart.

Thy blessed Unction from above,

Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light

The dulness of our blinded sight.

Anoint and cheer our soiled face

With the abundance of thy grace.
Keep far our foes, give peace at home:

Where thou art guide, no ill can cotne.
366

Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but One.
That, through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song j

Praise to thy eternal merit,

As before in the Form for Ordering Priests.

That ended, the Archbishop shall say,

Lord, hear our prayer.

Answer. And let our cry come unto thee.

Let us pray.

"B LMIGHTY God, and most merciful
J\ Father, who of thine infinite goodness
hast given thine only 8 dearly beloved Son
Jesus Christ, to be our Redeemer, and the
Author of everlasting life j who, after that he
had made perfect our Redemption by his
death, and was ascended into beayen, pour-
ed down his gifts abundantly upon men,
making some Apostles, some Prophets, some
Evangelists, some Pastors and Doctors, to the
edifying and making perfect his Church J
Grant, we beseech thee, to this thy servant
such grace, that he may evermore be ready
to spread abroad thy Gospel, the glad tidings
of reconciliation with tbeej and use the au-
thority given him, not to destruction, but to
salvation? not to hurt, but to help: so that as
a wise ffi faithful servant, giving to thy family
their portion in due season, he may at last be
received into everlasting joy; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who, with thee £ the Hoh/
Ghost liveth and reignetb, one God, world
without end. Amen*

Then the Archbishop and Bishops present
shall lay their hands upon the head of the
elected Bishop kneeling before them upon
his knees, the Archbishop saying,

the will of God, that with well-doing ye n?ay

*HND they sent out unto bin? their disci-
J\ pies, with the Herodians, saying, Mas-

the way of God in truth, neither carest thou
for any n?an : for tbou regardest not the per-
son ofinen. Tell us therefore, What tbinkest

Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and

ARTICLES AGREED CIPON BY THE ARCH-
BISHOPS AND BISHOPS OF BOTH PRO-
VINCES, AND THE WHOLE CLERGY,

IN THE CONVOCATION HOLDEN AT LONDON IN THE YEAR \S6z, FOR THE
AVOIDING OF DIVERSITIES OF OPINIONS, AND FOR THE ESTABLISHING
OF CONSENT TOUCHING TRUE RELIGION: REPRINTED BY HIS MAJESTY'S
COMMANDMENT, WITH HIS R°YAL DECLARATION PREFDIED THEREUNTO.

HIS MAJESTY'S DECLARATION.

BEING by God's Ordinance, according to Our just Title, Defender of the Faith, and Su-
preme Govcrtjour of the Church, within these Our Dominions, We bold it most agree-
able to this Our Kingly Office, and Our own religious Zeal, to conserve ai?d maintain the
Church committed to Our Charge, in Unity of true Religion, apd in tbe Bond of Peace; ar?d
t)ot to suffer unnecessary Disputations, Altercations, or Questions to be raised, which tnay
nourisb Faction botb in tbe Cburcb and Commonwealth. We bave therefore, upon mature
Deliberation, and with tbe Advice of so many of Our Bisbops as might conyementh/be called
togetber, tbougbt fit to rpakc tbis Declaration following :

Tbat tbe Articles of tbe Cburcb of England (wbicb bave been allowed and authorized here-
tofore, and wbicb Our Clergy generally bave subscribed unto) do contain tbe true Doctrine
of tbe Cburcb of England agreeable to God's Word: wbicb We do therefore ratify and con*
finao, recjuiring all Our loving Subjects to continue in tbe uniform Profession thereof, and
prohibiting tbe least difference fron? tbe said Articles; wbicb to tbat End We con?n?ar?d to be
new printed, and tbis Our Declaration to be published therewith*

That We are Supreme Goyernour of the Cburcb of England : And that if any Difference arise
about the external Policy, concerning**** Injunctions, Canons, and other Constitutions what*
soever thereto belonging, the Clergy in their Convocation is to order and settle then?, having
first obtained leave under Our Broad Seal so to do : and We approving their said Ordinances
and Constitutions; providing that none be made contrary to the Laws and Custoxns of the
Land.

That out of Our Princely Care that the Churchmen may do the Work which is proper unto
then?, the Bishops and Clergy, frorn time to time in Convocation, upon their hutnble Desire,
shall have Licence under Our Broad Seal to deliberate of, and to do all such Things, as, being
tnade plain by then?, and assented unto by Us, shall concern the settled Continuance of the
Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England now established; from which We will
not endure any varying or departing in the least Degree.

That for fhe present, though some differences have been ill raised, yet We take comfort in this,
that all Clergytnen within Our Realn? have always most willingly subscribed to tbe Articles
established; which is an argument to Us, that tbejr all agree in the true, usual, literal meaning
of the said Articles; and that even in those curious points, in which the present differences lie,
xnen of all sorts take the Articles of the Church of England to be for then? ; which is an argu-
ment again, that none of then? intend any desertion of the Articles established.
That therefore in these both curious and unhappy differences, which have for so n?any hun-
dred years, in different times and places, exercised the Church of Christ, We will, that all
further curious search be laid aside, and these disputes shut up in God's pron?ises, as they be
generally set forth to us in the holy Scriptures, and the general meaning of the Articles of the
Churcbof Englandaccordingtofhem. And that no man hereafter sballeitber print, or preach,

377

to draw tpe Article aside apy way, but shall subxpit to it ip the plaip apd full xpeapipg there-
of: ai>d shall not put his own sense or coipxpent to be the rpeaping of the Article,but shall take
it it) the literal and granprpatical sense.

That if any publick Reader in either of Our Universities, or any Head or Master of a College,
or any other person respectively ix> either of then?, shall affix any pew sense to any Article, or
shalT publick^y read, detcrtpipe, or bold apy publick Disputatiop, or suffer apy such to be
held either way, ip either the Universities or Colleges respectively; or if apy Divipe ip the
Universities shall preach or pript apy thing cither way, other thap is already established ip
Copvocatiop with Our Royal Assept; he, or they the Offepders, shall be liable to Our dis-
pleasure, apd the Church's cepsure ip Our Coxpxpissiop Ecclesiastical, as well as apy other :
Apd We will see there shalT be due Executiop upop tbexp.

ARTICLES OF RELIGION.

LOfFaithiptheHotyTripity.

THERE is but ope livipg apd true God,
everlastipg, without body, parts, or pas-
slops; of ipfipite power, wisdoip, apd good-
pessj the Maker, apd Preserver of all tbipgs
both visible apd ipvisible. Apd ip upity of
this Godhead there be three Persops, of ope
substapce, power, apd eterpity j the Father,
the Sop, apd tpe tio\y Ghost.

II. Of tpe Word or Sop of God, which was
lpade very Map.

THE Sop, which isfhe Wordof fheFatper,
begottep froxp everlastipg of the Father,
the very apd eterpal God, 8 of ope substapce
with the Father, took Map's pature ip the
woipb of the blessed Yirgip, of her sub-
stapce : so that two whole £ perfect Natures,
that is to say, the Godhead apd Mapbood,
were joiped together ip ope Persop, pever to
be divided, whereof is ope Christ, very God,
apd very Map j wpo trub/ suffered, was cru-
cified, dead apd buried, to recopcile his Fa-
ther to us, apd to be a sacrifice, pot oply for
origipal guilt, but also for all actual sips of
xpep..

378

III. Of tpe goipg dowp of Christ ipto Hell.

*T3" S Christ died for us, apd was buried, so
J\ also is it to be believed, that be wept
dowp ipto Hell.

IY. Of tpe Resurrectiop of Christ.

CHRIST did tru^y rise agaip froxp death,
82 took agaip his body, with flesh, bopes,
apd all tbipgs appertaipipg to the perfectiop
of Map's pature j wherewith be ascepdedipto
Heavep, apd there sittetb, uptil he returp to
judge all Mep at tpe last day.

V. Of tpe \io\y Ghost.

THE Hojy Gpost, proceedipg froxp tpe
Fatper apd the Sop, is of ope substapce,
xpajesty, apd glory, with tpe Father apd tpe
Sop, very apd eterpal God.

VI. Of fhe Sufficiency of the poly Scriptures
forsalvatiop.

MOLY Scripture coptaipeth all things
necessary to salvation: so tpat whatso-
ever is pot read therein, por xpay be proved
thereby, is pot to be required of apy xpap,

that it should be belieyed as ap article of tbe
Faith; or be thought requisite or necessary
to salvation. In tbe narpe of the bob/ Scrip-
ture we do understand those Canonical
Books of tbe Old apd New Testarpent, of
whose authority was never any doubt in tbe
Church*

Of tbe Narpcs and Nurpber of the Canonical
Books*

GENESIS,
Exodus,
Leviticus,
Nurpbers,
Deuteronorpy,
Joshua,
Judges,
Ruth,

Tbe First Book of Sarpuel,
The Second Book of Sarpuel,
The First Book of Kings,
Tbe Second Book of Kings,
The First Book of Chronicles,
The Second Book of Chronicles,
The First Book of Esdras,
The Second Book of Esdras,
The Book of Esther,
The Book of Job,
TbePsalrps,
The Proverbs,
Ecclesiastcs, or Preacher,
Cantica, or Songs of Solorpon
Four Prophets tbe greater,
Twelve Prophets tbe less.

Apd the other Books (as Hierorpe saitb) the
Church doth read for exarpple of life apd
instruction of manners; but yet doth it pot
apply then? to establish any doctrine; such
are these folio wing :

The Third Book of Esdras,

The Fourth Book of Esdras,

The Book of Tobias,

Tbe Book of Judith,

Tbe rest of tbe Book of Esther,

The Book of Wisdorp,

Jesus the Sox? of Siracb,

Barucb the Prophet,

The Song of the Three Children,

The Story of Susanna,

Of Bel ai?d the Dragon,

The Prayer of Harasses,

The First Book of Maccabees,
The Second Book of Maccabees.

All the Books of tbe New Testarpent, as they
are corprponh/ receiyed. we do receiye, and
account then? Canonical.

VII. Of tbe Old Testarpept.

TfiE Old Testarpent is not contrary to the
New: for both in the Old and New Tes-
tarpent everlasting life is offered to Mankind
by Christ, who is the onh/ Mediator between
God and Map, being both God and Map.
Wherefore they are not to be beard, which
feign that the old Fathers did look only for
transitory prorpises.Altbougb fhe Law giv en
frorp God by Hoses, as touching Ccrcrpopios
apd Rites, do pot bind Christian rpen, nor
the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity
to be received in any corprpon wealth | yet
notwithstanding, no Christian rpan whatso-
ever is free frorp the obedience of the Corp-
rpapdrpepts which are called Moral.

VIII. Of the Three Creeds.

THE Three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Atba-
nasius's Creed, and that which is corp-
rpoply called the Apostles 7 Creed, ought
thoroughly to be received and believed : for
they rpay be proved by roost certain war-
rants of boh/ Scripture.

IX. Of Original or Birth-sip.

ORIGINAL Sin standctb not in tbe fol-
lowing of Adarp, (as tbe Pelagians do
vainb/ talk :) but it is the fault and corrup-
tion of the Nature of every rpan, that natu-
rally is ipgepderedof the offspring of Adarp ;
whereby rpan is yery far gone frorp original
righteousness, and is of bis own nature in-
clined to evil, so tbat the flesh lust eth always
contrary to the spirit ; and therefore in every
person born into this world, it deserveth
God's wrath and darppatiop . And this infec-
tion of nature doth rerpain, yea in tberp that
are regenerated; whereby tbe lust of the
fresh, called in the Greek, phronerpa sarkos,
which sorpe do expound the wisdorp, sorpe
sensuality, sorpe tbe affection, sorpe tbe de-
sire, of the ffesb, is not subject to tbe Law of
God. And although there is no condensa-
tion for tberp tbat belieye and are baptized,
yet the Apostle doth confess, tbat concupis-
cence and lust bath of itself the nature of sin.

379

X. Of Freo-Will.

THE condition of Mai? after tbe fall of
Adam is such, that be cannot turn & pre-
pare himself, by bis own natural strength
aiTd good works, to fSitb, apd calling upon
God: Wherefore webave no power to do good
works pleasant and acceptable to God, witb-
out tbe grace of God by Christ preventing
us, that we may baye a good will, & working
witb us, wben we baye tbat good will.

XI. Of tbe Justification of Wan.

WE arc accounted righteous before God,
orjly for tbe merit of our Lord and
S aviour Jesus Cbrist by Faith, aod pot for
our owi) works or deservings: Wherefore,
tbat we are justified by Faith orfly is a rpost
wholesome Doctrine, £ yery full of comfort,
as more largeb/ is expressed in tbe Hornby
of Justification.

XII. Of Good Works.

"B LBEIT that Good Works, which are fhe
/I fruits of Faith, and follow after Justifi-
cation; cat? not put away our sins, £ endure
fhe severity of God's Judgment; yet are they
pleasing & acceptable to God in Christ, and
do spring out necessarily of a true £ liveb/
Faith ; insorouch tbat by thero a lively Faith
tnay be as evidently known as a tree dis-
cerned by the fruit.

XIII. Of Works before Justification.

W/ORKS done before fhe grace of Christ,
•W* £fhe Inspiration of bis Spirit, are not
pleasant to God, forasmuch as they spring
not of faith in Jesus Christ, neither do they
make xoen meet to receiye grace, or (as tbe
School-authors say) deserve grace of con-
gruity : yea ratber, for tbat tbey are not done
as God hath willed and commanded then?
to be done, we doubt not but tbey have the
nature of sin*

XIV. Of Works of Supererogation.

VOLONTAR Y Works besides, over and
above, God's Commandments, which
tbey call Works of Supererogation, cannot
be taught without arrogancy and impiety:
for by them men do declare, tbat they do not
only render unto God as inucb as tbey are
bound to do, but that tbey do more for bis
380

sake, than of bounden duty is required:
whereas Christ saitb plainb/, Wben ye have
done all that are commanded to you, say, We
are unprofitable servants.

XV. Of Cbrist alone without Sin*

CHRIST in tbe truth of our nature was
made like unto us in all things, sin oqty
except, from which he was clea^y void, both
in bis ffesb* and in bis spirit. He came to be
tbe Lamb without spot, who, by sacrifice of
himself once made, should take away tbe
sins of the world, £ sin* as Saint John saitb,
was not in hin?« But all we the rest, although
baptized, 8 born again in Christ, yet offend
in many things* and if we say we baye no
sin* we decdye ourselyes, and fhe truth is not
in us.

XVI. Of Sin after Baptism*

NOT eyery dead|y sin willingly com-
mitted after Baptism is sin against the
Hob/ Ghost, and unpardonable. Wherefore
tbe grant of repentance is not to be denied to
such as fall into sin after Baptism* After we
baye received fheHob/Gbost, wemay depart
from grace given, and fall into sin* £ by tbe
grace of God we may arise again* and amend
our lives. And therefore tbey are to be con-
demned, which say, tbey can 170 more sin as
long as tbey live here, or deny tbe place of
forgiveness to such as trub/ repent.

XVII. Of Predestination and Election.

PREDESTINATION to Life is the ever-
lasting purpose of God, whereby (before
tbe foundations of the world were laid) be
bath constantly decreed by bis counsel se-
cret to us, to deliver from curse and damna-
tion those whom be bath chosen in Christ
out of mankind, £ to bring them by Christ
to everlasting salvation* as vessels made to
bonour. Wherefore, tbey which be endued
with so excellent a benefit of God be called
according to God's purpose by bis Spirit
working m due season: they through Grace
obey tbe calling: tbey be justified freeb/:
tbey be made sons of God by adoption : they
be made like the image of his onty~begotten
Son Jesus Christ : they walk religiousb/ in
good works, and at length* by God's mercy,
they attain to everlasting felicity.

As the godly consideration of Predestina-
tion,& our Election in Christ, is full of sweet,
pleasant; and unspeakable comfort to godh/
persons, and such as feel in themselves the
working of the Spirit of Christ, mortifying
the works of the flesh, 82 their earthly mem-
bers, ar>d drawing up their mind to high
and heavenly things, as well because it doth
greatly establish and confirm their faith of
eternal Salyation to be enjoyed through
Christ, as because it doth ferventb/ kindle
their love towards God : So, for curious and
carnal persons, lacking the Spirit of Christ,
to have continually before their eyes fhe sen-
tence of God's Predestination; is a most dan-
gerous downfall, whereby the Devil doth
thrust them either into desperation; or into
wretcblessness of most unclean Hying; no
less perilous than desperation*
Furthermore, we must receive God's pro-
mises in such wise, as they be generally set
forth to us in boh/ Scripture: and. in our
doings, that Will of God is to be followed,
which we have expressb/ declared unto us
in the Word of God*

XVIII. Of obtaining eternal Salvation only
by the Name of Christ.

THEY also are to be had accursed that
presume to say, That every man shall be
saved by the Law or Sect which he profess-
etb; so that he be diligent to frame his life ac~
cording to that Law, and fhe light of Nature.
For hob/ Scripture doth set out untousonb/
fhe Name of Jesus Cbrist,wbereby men tpust
be saved.

XIX. Of the Church.

THE yisible Church of Christ is a con-
gregation of faithful B&Qr ii) the which
the pure Word of God is preached, and the
Sacraments be duh/ mistered according
to Christ's ordinance in all those tbihgs that
of necessity are requisite to the same.
As the Church of Jerusalem. Alexandria, £
Antioch; have erred j so also the Church of
Rome hath erred, not only ix) their living ®
manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters
of Faith.

XX. Of the Authority of the Church.

THE Church hath power to decree Rites
or Ceremonies, 8 authority in Contro-

versies of Faith : And yet it is not lawful for
the Church to ordain any thing that is con-
trary to God's Word written, neither may it
so expound one place of Scripture, that it be
repugnant to another. Wherefore, although
the Church be a witness and a keeper of boh/
Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree any thing
against the same, so besides the same ought
it not to enforce any thing to be believed for
necessity of Salyation*

XXI. Of the Authority of General Councils.

GENERAL Councils may not be gather-
ed together without the commandment
and will of Princes. And when they be ga-
thered together, (forasmuch as they be an as-
sembly of men, whereof all be not governed
with the Spirit and Word of God,) tbey may
err, £ sometimes have erred, even ii) things
pertaining unto God. Wherefore things or-
dained by them as necessary to salyation
have neither strength hor authority, unless
it may be declared that they be taken out of
bojy Scripture.

XXII. Of Purgatory.

THE Romish Doctrine concerning Pur-
gatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Ado-
ration; as well of Images as of Reliques, S also
invocation of Saints, is a fond thing vainly
invented, S grounded upon i)o warranty of
Scripture, but rather repugnant to fhe Word
of God.

XXIII. Of Ministering it) the Congregation*

XT is not lawful for any n?an to take upon
him tbe office of publick preaching; or
ministering the Sacraments in the Congre-
gation; before he be la wf ulh/ called, and sent
to execute the same* And those we ought to
judge lawfully called and sent; which be
chosen and called to this work by men who
have publick authority given unto them ii)
the Congregation; to call and send Ministers
into the Lord's vineyard.

XXIV. Of speaking to the Congregation in
such a Tongue as the people understandetb.

IT is a thihg plainly repugnant to the
Word of God, and the custom of the Pri-
mitive Church* to have publick Prayer in

3«i

the Church, or to minister the Sacraments
in a tongue not understanded of tbe people.

XXV. Of tbe Sacraments.

SACRAMENTS ordained of Christ be
not only badges or tokens of Christian
men's profession, but rather tbey be certain
sure witnesses, and effectual signs of grace,
£ God's good will towards us, by the which
be dotb work ipvisibly in us, and dotb not
orjty quick«?,but also strengthen 8 confirm

our Faith in bin?. ' .

There are two Sacraments ordained of Cbwst
our Lord in tbe Gospel, tbat is to say, Bap-
tism, and tbe Supper of tbe Lord.
Those five coromonh/ called Sacraments,
tbat is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Or-
ders, Matrimony, and Extreme Unction, are
pot to be counted for Sacraments of tbe Gos-
pel, being such as baye grown partly of tbe
corrupt following of tbe Apostles, partly are
states of life allowed in tbe Scriptures; but
yet baye not like nature of Sacraments witb
Baptism, 82 tbe Lord's Supper, for tbat tbey
baye not any yisible sign or ceremony or-
dained of God.

The Sacraments were pot ordained of Cbrist
to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but
that we should dub/ use them* And in sucb
onh/ as wortbib/ receiye tbe same tbey have
a wholesome effect or operation: but tbey
tbat receiye then? unwortbih/, purcbase to
themselves damnation, as Saint Paul saitb.

XXVI. Of tbeUpwortbipess of tbe Ministers,
which bidders i>ot fheeffect of fhe Sacrament.

*T3 LTHOUGH in tbe visible Cburcb tbe
JY evil be ever mingled witb tbe good, az)d
sometimes tbe evil baye chief authority in
the Ministration of the Word 82 Sacraments,
yet forasmuch as tbey do not tbe same ir?
their own name, but in Christ's, at)d do mi-
nister by bis commission and authority, we
may use tbeir Ministry, bod) in bearing tbe
Word of God, and in receiving of tbe Sacra-
ments. Neither is the effect of Christ's ordi-
nance taker; away by tbeir wickedness, nor
the grace of God's gifts diminished from sucb
as by faitb and rigbtb/ do receiye tbe Sacra-
ments ministered unto them; wbicb be ef-
fectual, because of Christ's institution and
3S2

promise, although tbey be mastered by
cyilrper;.

Nevertheless, it appertainetb to fhe discipline
of tbe Cburcb, tbat enquiry be made of evil
Ministers, end tbat tbey be accused by those
tbat baye knowledge of their offences; and
finally being found guilty, by just judg-
ment be deposed,

XXVII. Of Baptism.

BAPTISM is not onh/asign of profession,
and inarkof difference, whereby Chris-
tian men are discerned from others that be
not christened, but it is also a sign of Rege-
neration ornew Birth, wbereby,as by an in-
strument, tbey that receiye Baptise? rightly
are grafted into the Church; the promises of
forgiveness of sir;, and of our adoption to be
five sons of God by the Hob/ Ghost, are visibh/
signed and sealed; Faith is confirmed, and
Grace increased by yirtue of prayer unto
God. The Baptism of young Children is in
any wise to be retained in tbe Cburcb, as
most agreeable with the institution of Christ.

XXVIII. Of the Lord's Supper.

THE Supper of the Lord is not only a
sign of tibe loye that Christians ought to
baye among themselves one to another; but
rather is a Sacrament of our Redemption by
Christ's death: insoznuch that to such as
rigbtb/, wortbib/, and with faitb,receive the
same, the Bread which we break is a partak-
ing of the Body of Christ; and likewise the
Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood
of Christ.

Transubstantiation (or fhecbanseof fhe sub-
stance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of
tbe Lord, cannot be proyed by bob/ Writ;
but is repugnant tofheplain words of Scrip-
ture, overtbrowetb tbe nature of a Sacra-
ment, £ bath given occasion to many super-
stitions.

The Body of Christ is given, taken, & eaten,
it) the Supper, only after an beayenb/ and
spiritual manner. And the mean whereby
the Body of Christ is received and eaten m
the Supper is Faith*

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was
not by Christ's ordinance reserved, carried
about, lifted up, or worshipped.

XXIX. Of foe Wicked which eat uotfoe Body
of Christ ix> the twe of the Lord's Supper.

THE Wicked, and such as be void of a
lively faith, although they do carnally
and visibly press with their teeth (as Saint
Augustine saitb) the Sacrament of the Body
and Blood of Christ, yet in no wise are they
partakers of Christ: but rather, to their
condemnation, do eat and drink the sign or
Sacran>ept of so great a thing.

XXX. Of both kinds.

THE Cup of the Lord is got to be denied
to the Lay-people: for both the parts of
the lord's Sacrament, by Christ's ordinance
and commandment, ought to be njiijistered
to all Christian men alike.

XXXI. Of foe one Oblation of Christ finished
upon the Cross.

THE Offering of Christ once made is that
perfect redemption, propitiation, 8Esatis~
faction, for all the sins of the whole world,
both original and actualj 82 there is none ofoer
satisfaction for sin, but that alone. Where-
fore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it
was commonjy said, that the Priest did offer
Christ for foe quick and foe dead, to have re-
tnission of pain or guilt, were blasphemous
fables, and dangerous deceits.

XXXII. Of the Marriage of Priests.

BISHOPS, Priests, and Deacons, are not
commanded by God's Law, eifoer to vow
the estate of single life, or to abstain from
marriage: therefore it is lawful for tberp, as
for all other Christian men>to njarry at foeir
own discretion, as they shalf judge the same
to serve better to godliness.

XXXIII. Of excommunicate Persons, how
they are to be avoided.

THAT person which by open denuncia-
tion of the Church is rightly cut off from
foeunity of foe Church/ 82 excommunicated,
ought to be taken of the whole multitude of
foe faithful, as an Heathen and Publican, un-
til be be openly reconciled by penance, and
received into the Church by a Judge that
hath authority thereunto.

XXXIV. Of tb« Traditions of the Church.

rr is not necessary that Traditions and
Ceremonies be in all places one, and ut-
terly Ukej for at all times they have been
divers, and maybe changed according to foe
diversities of countries, times, 8 men's man-
ners, so that nothing be ordained against
God's Word. Whosoever through his private
judgment, willingly and purposely, doth
openly break the traditions and ceremonies
of the Church, which be not repugnant to
the Word of God, and be ordained and ap-
proved by common authority, ought to be
rebuked openly, (that others may fear to do
the like,) as he that offendetb against the
common order of the Church, and hurteth
the authority of the Magistrate, £ woundetb
the consciences of the weak brethren*
Every particular or national Church hath
authority to ordain, change, and abolish,
ceremonies or rites of the Church ordained
onjy by man's authority, so that all things
be done to edifying.

XXXV. Of the Homilies.

THE second Book of Homilies, foe several
titles whereof we have joined under this
Article, doth contain a god^y and wholesome
Doctrine, and necessary for these times, as
doth the former Book of Homilies, which
were set forth in the time of Edward the
Sixth; and therefore we judge them to be
read in Churches by foe Ministers, diligently
anddistmcUy.tbatfoey may be understat-
ed of the people.

XXXVI. Of Consecration of Bishops ffi Mi-
nisters.

THE Book of Consecration of Archbi-
shops and Bishops, and Ordering of
Priests and Deacons, lately set forth it) the
time of Edward the Sixth, and confirmed at
the sarne time by authority of Parliament,
doth contain all things necessary to such
Consecration and Ordering: neither hath it
any thing, that of itself is superstitious and
ungodly. And therefore whosoever are con-
secrated or ordered according to the Rites of
that Book, since the second year of the fore-
named King Edward unto this time,or here-
after shall be consecrated or ordered accord-
ing to the same Rites; we decree all such to
be rightly, orderly, S lawfully consecrated
and ordered.

XXXVII. Of the Civil Magistrates.

THE King's Majesty hath the chief power
in this Realm of England, and other bis
Dominions, unto whom the chief Govern-
ment of all Estates of this Realm* whether
they be Ecclesiastical or Civil, in all causes
doth appertain* and is not, nor ought to be,
subject to any foreign Jurisdiction.
Where we attribute to the King's Majesty the
chief government, by which Titles we un-
derstand fhe minds of some slanderous folks

to be offended j we give not to our Princes
the ministering either of God's Word, or of
fhe Sacraments, the which thing the Injunc-
tions also lately set forth by Elizabeth our
Queen do most plainly testify j but that only
prerogative, which we see to have been given
always to all godjy Princes in holy Scrip-
tures by God himself j that is,tbat fhey should
rule all estates S degrees committed to their
charge by God, whether they be Ecclesias-
tical or Temporal, and restrain with the civil
sword the stubborn and evil-doers.
The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in
this Realm of England.
The Laws of the Realm may punish Chris-
tian men with death, for heinous & grievous
offences.

It is lawful for Christian men, at the com-
mandment of the Magistrate, to wear wea-
pons, and serve in the wars.

XXXVIII. Of Christian men's Goods, which
are not common.

THE Riches and Goods of Christians are
not common, as touching the right, title,
and possession of the same, as certain Ana-
baptists do falsely boast. Notwithstanding,
every man ought, of such things as he pos-
sessed, liberally to give alms to the poor, ac-
cording to his ability.

XXXIX. Of a Christian man's Oath.

*T=T S we confess that vain and rash Swear-
J\ ing is forbidden Christian men by our
Lord Jesus Christ, and James his Apostle,
so we judge, that Christian Religion doth not
prohibit, but that a man may swear when fhe
Magistrate requireth, in a cause of faith and
charity, so it be done according to the Pro-
phet's teaching, in justice, judgment, & truth.

THE RATIFICATION.

THIS Book of Articles before rehearsed, is again approved, and allowed to be bolden and
executed within the Realm, by the assent and consent of our Sovereign Lady ELIZA-
BETH, by the grace of God, of England, France, and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith,
Sc. Which Articles were deliberately read, and confirmed again by the subscription of the
hands of the Archbishop and Bishops of the Upper-house, and by the subscription of the
whole Clergy of the Nether-house in their Convocation, in the Year of our Lord \5-ju
