THE PREFACE.

IT hath been the wisdom of the Church of England, ever since the first
compiling of her Publick Liturgy, to keep the mean between the two
extremes, of too much stiffness 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 inconveniences have thereupon,
ensued ; and those many times more and greater than the evils, that were
intended to be remedied by such change : So on the other side, the particular
Forms of Divine worship, and the Kites and Ceremonies appointed to be
used therein, being things in their own nature indifferent, and alterable, and
so acknowledged ; it is but reasonable, that upon weighty and important
considerations, according to the various exigency of times and occasions,
such changes and alterations should be made therein, as to those that are in
place of Authority should from time to time seem either necessary or
expedient. Accordingly we find, that in the Reigns of several Princes of

a 2

THE PEEFACE.

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 thought convenient :
Yet so, as that the main Body and Essentials of it (as well in the chiefest
materials, as in the frame and order thereof) have still continued the same
unto this day, and do yet stand firm and unshaken, notwithstanding all the
vain attempts and impetuous assaults made against it, by such men as are
given to change, and have always discovered a greater regard to their own
private fancies and interests, than to that duty they owe to the publick.

By what undue means, and for what mischievous purposes the use of
the Liturgy (though enjoined by the Laws of the Land, and those Laws
never yet repealed) came, during the late unhappy confusions, to be discon-
tinued, is too well known to- the world, and we are hot willing here to
remember. But when, upon His Majesty's happy Restoration, it seemed
probable, that, amongst other things, the use of the Liturgy would also
return of course (the same having never been legally abolished) unless some
timely means were used to prevent it; those men who under the late
usurped powers had made it a great part of their business to render the
people disaffected thereunto, saw themselves in point of Reputation and
Interest concerned (unless they would freely acknowledge themselves to
have erred, which such men are very hardly brought to do) with their
utmost endeavours to hinder the restitution thereof. In order whereunto
divers Pamphlets were published against the Book of Common Prayer, the
old Objections mustered up, with the addition of some new ones, more than
formerly had been made, to make the number swell. In fine, great impor-
tunities were used to His Sacred Majesty, that the said Book might be
revised, and such Alterations therein, and Additions thereunto made, as
should be thought requisite for the ease of tender Consciences : whereunto
His Majesty, oxit of his pious inclination to give satisfaction (so far as could
l>e reasonably expected) to all his subjects of what persuasion soever, did
graciously condescend.

In which review we have endeavoured to observe the like moderation,
as we find to have been used in the like case in former times. And there-
fore of the sundry alterations proposed unto us, we have rejected all such as
were either of dangerous consequence (as secretly striking at some established
Doctrine, or laudable Practice of the Church of England, or indeed of the
whole Catholick Church of Christ) or else of no consequence at all, but
utterly frivolous and vain. But such alterations as were tendered to us (by
what persons, under what pretences, or to what purpose soever so tendered)
as seemed to us in any degree requisite or expedient, we have willingly, and
of our own accord assented unto: not enforced so to do by any strength of
Argument, convincing us of the necessity of making the said Alterations :
For we are fully persuaded in our judgements (and we here profess it to the
world) that the Book, as it stood before established by Law, doth not
contain in it any thing contrary to the Word of God, or to sound Doctrine,
or which a godly man may not with a good Conscience use and submit unto,
cr which is not fairly defensible against any that shall oppose the same; if
it shall be allowed such just and favourable construction as in common
Equity ought to be allowed to all human Writings, especially such as are
set forth by Authority, and even to the very best translations of the holy
Scripture itself.

THE PREFACE.

Our genei-al aim therefore in this undertaking was, not to gratify this
or that party in any their unreasonable demands; 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 Devotion in the publick Worship of God ; and the cutting off
occasion from them that seek occasion of cavil or quarrel against the Liturgy
of the Church. And as to the several variations from the former Book,
whether by Alteration, Addition, or otherwise, it shall suffice to give this
general account, That most of the Alterations were made, either first, for the
better direction of them that are to officiate in any part of Divine Service ;
which is chiefly done in the Calendars and Kubricks : Or secondly, for the
more proper expressing of some words or phrases of ancient usage in terms
more suitable to the language of the present times, and the clearer expla-
nation of some other words and phrases, that were either of doubtful signifi-
cation, or otherwise liable to misconstruction : Or tbii'dly, for a more perfect
rendering of such portions of holy Scripture, as are inserted into the Liturgy;
which, in the Epistles and Gospels especially, and in sundry other places,
are now ordered to be read according to the last Translation : and that it was
thought convenient, that some Prayers and Thanksgivings, fitted to special
occasions, should be added in their due places ; particularly for those at Sea,
together with an office for the Baptism of such as are of riper years : which,
although not so necessary when the former Book was compiled, yet by the
growth of Anabaptism, through the licentiousness of the late times crept in
amongst us, is now become necessary, and may be always useful for the
baptizing of Natives in our Plantations, and others converted to the Faith.
If any man, who shall desire a more particular account of the several
Alterations in any part of the Liturgy, shall take the pains to compare the
present Book with the former; we doubt not but the reason of the change
may easily appear.

And having thus endeavoured to discharge our duties in this weighty
affair, as in the sight of God, and to approve our sincerity therein (so far as '
lay in us) to the consciences of all men; although we know it impossible (in
such variety of apprehensions, humours and interests, as are in the world)
to please all; nor can expect that men of factious, peevish, and perverse spirits
should be satisfied with any thing that can be done in this kind by any
other than themselves : Yet we have good hope, that what is here presented,
and hath been by the Convocations of both Provinces with great diligence
examined and approved, will be also well accepted and approved by all
sober, peaceable, and truly conscientious Sons of the Church of England.

CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH.

THERE was never any thing by the wit
of man so well devised, or so sure establish-
ed, which in continuance of time hath not
been corrupted: As, among other things,
it may plainly appear by the Common
Prayers in the Church, commonly called
Divine Service. The first original and
ground whereof if a man would search out
by the ancient Fathers, he shall find, that
the same was not ordained but of a good
purpose, and for a great advancement of
godliness. For they so ordered the matter,
that all the whole Bible (or the greatest
part thereof), should be read over once
every year; intending thereby, that 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 them that were
adversaries to the Truth; and further, that
the people (by daily hearing of holy Scrip,
ture read in the Church) might continually
profit more and more in the knowledge of
God, and be the more inflamed with the
Jove of his true Religion.

But these many years passed, this godly
and decent order of the ancient Fathers
hath been so altered, broken, and neglected,
by planting in uncertain Stories, and Le-
gends, with multitude of Responds, Verses,
vain Repetitions, Commemorations, and Sy-
nodals ; that commonly 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 Septuagesima , but they were >
only begun, and never read through: After
like sort were other Books of holy Scripture
used; And moreover, whereas St. Paul \
would have such language spoken to the
people in the Church, as they might un-
derstand, and have profit by hearing the
same ; The Service in this Church of Eng-
land these many years hath been read in
Latin to the people, which they understand

not; so that they have heard with their
ears only, and their heart, spirit, and mind,
have not been edified thereby. And fur-
thermore, notwithstanding that the ancient
Fathers have divided the Psalms into seven
Portions, whereof every one was called a
Noclum : Now of late time a few of them
have been daily said, and the rest utterly
omitted. Moreover, the number and hard-
ness of the Rules called the Pte, and the
manifold changings of the Service, was the
cause, that to turn the Book only was so
hard and intricate a matter, that many times
there was more business to find out what
should be read, than to read it when it was
found out.

These inconveniences therefore consider-
ed, 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
Anthems, Responds, Invitatories, and such
like things as did break the continual course
of the reading of the Scripture.

Vet, because there is no remedy, but
that of necessity there must be some Rules ;
therefore certain Rules are here set forth ;
which, as they are few in number, so they
are plain and easy to be understood. So
that here you have an Order for Prayer,
and for the reading of the holy Scripture,
much agreeable to the mind and purpose
of the old Fathers, and a great deal more
profitable and commodious, than that which
of late was used. It is more profitable, be-
cause here are left out many things, whereof
some are untrue, some uncertain, some vain
and superstitious; and nothing is ordained
to be read, but the very pure Word of God,
the holy Scriptures, or that which is agree-
able to the same; and that in such a Lan- !
guage and Order as is most easy and plain
for the understanding both of the Readers

CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH.

and Hearers. It is also more commodious,
both for the shortness thereof, and for the
plainness of the Order, and for that the
Rules be few and easy.

And whereas heretofore there hath been
great diversity in saying and singing in
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 one
Use.

And forasmuch as nothing can be so
plainly set forth, but doubts may arise in

the use and practice of the same ; to appease
all such diversity (if any arise) and for the
resolution of all doubts, concerning the
manner how to understand, do, and ex-
ecute, the things contained in this Book ;
the parties that so doubt, or diversely take
any thing, shall alway resort to the Bishop
of the Diocese, who by his discretion shall
take order for the quieting and appeasing
of the same ; so that the same order be not
contrary to any thing contained in this
Book. And if the Bishop of the Diocese
be in doubt, then he may send for the re-
solution 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 congregation may be thereby edified; yet
it is not meant, but that when men say Morning and Evening Prayer privately,
they may say the same in any language that they themselves do understand.

And all Priests and Deacons are to say daily the Morning and Evening Prayer
either privately or openly, not being let by sickness, or some other urgent cause.

And the Curate that ministereth in every Parish-Church or Chapel, being at home,
and not being otherwise reasonably hindered, shall say the same in the Parish-Church
or Chapel where he ministereth, and shall cause a Bell to be tolled thereunto a con-
venient time before he begin, that the people may come to hear God's Word, and to
pray with him.

OF CEREMONIES,

WHY SOME BE ABOLISHED, AND SOME RETAINED.

()F such Ceremonies as be used in the
Church, and have had their beginning by
the institution of man, some at the first
were of godly intent and purpose devised,
and yet at length turned to vanity and su-
perstition: some entered into the Church
by undiscreet devotion, and such a zeal as
was without knowledge; and for because
they were winked at in the beginning, they
grew daily to more and more abuses, which
not only for 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 : other
there be, which although they have been
devised by man, yet it is thought good to
reserve them still, as well for a decent order
in the Church, (for the which they were
first devised) as because they pertain to
edification, whereunto all things done in
the Church (as the Apostle teacheth) ought
to be referred.

And although the keeping or omitting
of a Ceremony, in itself considered, is but
a small thing ; yet the wilful and contemp-
tuous transgression and breaking of a com-
mon order and discipline is no small offence
before God, Let all things be done among
you, saith St. Paul, in a seemly and due
order : The appointment of the which order
pertaineth not to private men; therefore
no man ought to take in hand, nor presume
to appoint or alter any publick or common
Order in Christ's Church, except he be law-
fully called and authorized thereunto.

And whereas in this our time, the minds
of men are so diverse, that some think it
a great matter of conscience to depart from a
piece of the least of their Ceremonies, they
be so addicted to their old customs; and again
on the other side, some be so new-fangled,
that they would innovate all things, and so
despise the old, that nothing can like them
but that is new: it was thought expedient

OF CEREMONIES, &c.

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 rendered, why some of the accustom-
ed Ceremonies be put away, and some re-
tained and kept still.

Some are put away, because the great
excess and multitude of them hath so in-
creased in these latter days, that the burden
of them was intolerable; whereof Saint
Augustine in his time complained, that
they were grown to such a number, that
the estate of Christian people was in worse
case concerning that matter, than were the
Jews. And he counselled that such yoke
and burden should be taken away, as time
would serve quietly to do it. But what
would Saint Augustine have said, if he had
seen the Ceremonies of late days nsed among
us; whereunto the multitude used in his
time was not to be compared ? This our
excessive multitude of Ceremonies was so
great, and many of them so dark, that they
did more confound and darken, than declare
and set forth Christ's benefits unto us. And
besides this, Christ's Gospel is not a Cere-
monial Law, (as much of Moses' Law was, )
but it is a Religion to serve God, not in
bondage of the figure or shadow, but in
the freedom of the Spirit; being content
only with those Ceremonies which do serve
to a decent Order and godly Discipline,
and such as be apt to stir up the dull mind
of man to the remembrance of his duty to
God, by some notable and special signifi-
cation, whereby he might be edified. Fur-
thermore, the most weighty cause of the
abolishment of certain Ceremonies was,
That they were so far abused, partly by
the superstitious blindness of the rude and
unlearned, and partly by the unsatiable
avarice of such as sought more their own
lucre, than the glory of God, that the
abuses could not well be taken away, the
thing remaining still.

But now as concerning those persons,
which peradventure will be offended, for that

some of the old Ceremonies are retained
still: If they consider that without some
Ceremonies it is not possible to keep any
Order, or quiet Discipline in the Church,
they shall easily perceive just cause to re-
form their judgements. And if they think
much, that any of the old do remain, and
would rather have all devised anew : then
such men granting some Ceremonies con-
venient to be had, surely where the old
may be well used, there they cannot rea-
sonably reprove the old only for their age,
without bewraying of their own folly. For
in such a case they ought rather to have
reverence unto them for their antiquity, if
they will declare themselves to be more
studious of unity and concord, than of in-
novations and new-fangleness, which (as
much as may be with true setting forth
of Christ's Religion) is always to be es-
chewed. Furthermore, such shall have no
just cause with the Ceremonies reserved to
be offended. For as those be taken away
which were most abused, and did burden
men's consciences without any cause; so
the other that remain, are retained for a
discipline and order, which (upon just
causes) may he altered and changed, and
therefore are not to be esteemed equal with
God's Law. And moreover, they be nei-
ther dark nor dumb Ceremonies, but are
so set forth, that every man may understand
what they do mean, and to what use they
do serve. So that it is not like that they
in time to come should be abused as other
have been. And in these our doings we
condemn no other Nations, nor prescribe
any thing but to our own people only :
For we think it convenient that every
Country should use such Ceremonies as they
shall think best to the setting forth of (iod's
honour and glory, and to the reducing of
the people to a most perfect and godly
living, without error or superstition; and
that they should put away other things,
which from time to time they perceive to
be most abused, as in men's ordinances
it often chanceth diversely in divers coun.
tries.

THE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER IS APPOINTED
TO BE READ.

THE Psalter shall be read tnrough once
every Month, as it is there appointed, both
for Morning and Evening Prayer. But in
February it shall be read only to the twenty,
eighth, or twenty-ninth day of the Month.

And, whereas January, March, May,
July, August, October, and December have
one-and-thirty days apiece; It is ordered,
that the same Psalms shall be read the last
day of the said months, which were read the
day before : So that the Psalter may begin
again the first day of the next month ensuing.

And, whereas the 119th Psalm is divided
into twenty-two portions, and is over-long to
be read at one time; It is so ordered, that
at one time shall not be read above four
or five of the said portions.

And at the end of every Psalm, and of
every such part of the 119th Psalm, shall
be repeated this Hymn,

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

NOTE, That the Psalter followeth the Division of the Hebrews, and the Translation
of the great English Bible, set forth and used in the time of King Henry the Eighth,
and Edward the Sixth.

THE ORDER HOW THE REST OF HOLY SCRIPTURE
IS APPOINTED TO BE READ.

THE Old Testament is appointed for the
First Lessons at Morning and Evening Pray-
er, so as the most part thereof will be read
every year once, as in the Calendar is ap-
pointed.

The New Testament is appointed for the
Second Lessons at Morning and Evening
Prayer, and shall be read over orderly every
year twice, once in the morning and once in
the evening, besides the Epistles and Gos-
pels, except the Apocalypse, out of which
there are only certain Lessons appointed at
the end of the year, and certain Proper Les-
sons appointed upon divers feasts.

And to know what Lessons shall be read
every day, look for the day of the Month
in the Calendar following, and there ye
shall find the chapters and portions of chap-
ters that shall be read for the Lessons, both
at Morning and Evening Prayer, except
only the moveable feasts, which are not
in the Calendar, and the immoveable, where
there is a blank left in the column of Les-
sons, the Proper Lessons for all which days
are to be found in the Table of Proper
Lessons.

If Evening Prayer is said at two different
times in the same place of worship on any
Sunday (except a Sunday for which alterna-

tive Second Lessons are specially appointed
in the Table,) the Second Lesson at the se-
cond time may, at the discretion of the minis-
ter, be any chapter from the four Gospels, or
any Lesson appointed in the Table of Les-
sons from the four Gospels.

Upon occasions, to be approved by the
Ordinary, other Lessons may. with h s con-
sent, be substituted for those which are
appointed in the Calendar.

And Note, That whensoever Proper
Psalms or Lessons are appointed ; then the
Psalms and Lessons of ordinary course
appointed in the Psalter and Calendar (if
they be different) shall be omitted for that
time.

Note also that upon occasions to be ap-
pointed by the Ordinary, other Psalms may,
with his consent, be substituted for those
appointed in the Psalter.

If any of the Holy-days for which Proper
Lessons are appointed in the Table fall upon
a Sunday which is the first Sunday in Ad-
vent, Easter Day, Whitsunday, or Trinity
Sunday, the Lessons appointed for such Sun-
day shall be read, but if it fall upon any
other Sunday, the Lessons appointed either
for the Sunday or for the Holy-day may be
read at the discretion of the minister.

NOTE also, That the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel appointed for the Sunday shall serve
all the week after, where it is not in this Book otherwise ordered.

NOTB, That in a Bissextile or Leap- Year, the Number cf Sundays after Epiphany will be the same,

as if Easter Day had fallen One Day later than it really does. And for the same reason, One Day

must, in every Leap- Year, be added to the Day of the Month given by the Table for Septuagesima

Sunday: And the like must be done for the First Day of Lent (commonly called Ash Wednesday)

unless the Table gives some Day in the Month of March for it; for in that case, the Day given

by the Table is the right Day.

DAILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

1 At the beginning of Morning Prayer the Minister shall read with a,
loud voice some one or more of these Sentences of the Scriptures that
follow. And then he shall say that which is written after the said
Sentences.

WHEN the wicked man turneth away
from his wickedness that he hath

I acknowledge my transgressions, and my
sin is ever before me. Psalm li. 3.

all mine iniquities. Psalm li. 9.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spi-
rit : a broken and a contrite heart, God,
thou wilt not despise. Psalm li. 17.

Rend your heart, and not your gar-
ments, and turn unto the Lord your God :
for he is gracious and merciful, slow to
anger, and of great kindness, and repent-
eth him of the evil. Joel ii. 13.

MORNING PRAYER.

To the Lord our God belong mercies
and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled
against him : neither have we obeyed the
voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his
laws which he set before us. Dan. ix. 9, 10.

Lord, correct me, but with judgement ;
not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to
nothing. Jer. x. 24. Psalm vi. 1.

Kepent ye ; for the Kingdom of heaven
is at hand. St. Matth. iii. 2.

will say unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee, and am
no more worthy to be called thy son. St.
Luke xv. 18, 19.

Enter not into judgement with thy ser-
vant, Lord ; for in thy sight shall no man
living be justified. Psalm cxliii. 2.

us : but, if we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 St. John i. 8, 9.

DEAELY beloved brethren, the Scrip-
ture moveth us in sundry places to
acknowledge and confess our manifold sins
and wickedness; and that we should not
dissemble nor cloke them before the face

MORNING PRAYER.

of Almighty God our heavenly Father;
but confess them with an humble, lowly,
penitent, and obedient heart ; to the end
that we may obtain forgiveness of the same,
by his infinite goodness and mercy. And
although we ought at all times humbly to
acknowledge our sins before God ; yet ought
we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble
and meet together to render thanks for the
great benefits that we have received at his
hands, to set forth his most worthy praise,
to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those
things which are requisite and necessary, as
well for the body as the soul. Wherefore
I pray and 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 me ;

IT A general Confession to be said of the whole Congre-
gation after the Minister, all kneeling.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father ;
\. We have erred, and strayed from thy
ways like lost sheep. We have followed too
much the devices and desires of our own
hearts. We have offended against thy holy
laws. We have left undone those things
which we ought to have done ; And we have
done those things which we ought not to
have done ; And there is no health in us.

MORNING PRAYER.

But thou, Lord, have mercy upon us,
miserable offenders. Spare thou them,
God, which confess their faults. Restore
thou them that are penitent; According to
thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ
Jesu our Lord. And grant, most mer-
ciful Father, for his sake ; That we may
hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober
life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

IF The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pronounced
by the Priest alone, standing; the people still kneeling.

A LMIGHTY God, the Father of our Lord
L\. Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death
of a sinner, but rather that he may turn
from his wickedness, and live ; and hath
given power, and commandment, to his
Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his
people, being penitent, the Absolution and
Remission of their sins : He pardoneth and
absolveth all them that truly repent, and
unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Where-
fore let us beseech him to grant us true
repentance, and his Holy Spirit, that those
things may please him, which we do at this
present ; and that the rest of our life here-
after may be pure, and holy ; so that at the
last we may come to his eternal joy ; through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

1T The people shall answer here, and at the end of all other prayers,

Amen.

MORNING PRAYER.

1T Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lords Prayer with an
audible voice ; the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him,
both here, and wheresoever else it is used in Divine Service.

OUR Father, which art in heaven, Hal-
lowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done in earth, As it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As
we forgive them that trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation ; But
deliver us from evil : For thine is the
kingdom, The power, and the glory, For
ever and ever. Amen.

1T Then likewise he sJiall say,

Lord, open thou our lips.
Answer. And our mouth shall shew forth
thy praise.

Priest. God, make speed to save us.
Answer. Lord, make haste to help us.

IF Here all standing up, the Priest shall say,

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

Answer. As it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be : world without end.
Amen.

Priest. Praise ye the Lord.

Answer. The Lord's Name be praised.

MORNING PRAYER.

IT Then shall be said or sung this Psalm following : except on Easter
Day, upon which another Anthem is appointed; and on the Nine-
teenth Day of every Month it is not to be read here, but in the
ordinary course of the Psalms.

VENITE, EXULTEMUS DOMINO.

Psalm xcv.

OCOME, let us sing unto the Lord : let
us heartily rejoice in the strength of
our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with
thanksgiving : and shew ourselves glad in
him with Psalms.

For the Lord is a great God : and a great
King above all Gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the
earth : and the strength of the hills is his
also.

The sea is his, and he made it : and his
hands prepared the dry land.

come, let us worship, and fall down :
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is the Lord our God : and we are
the people of his pasture, and the sheep of
his hand.

To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not
your hearts : as in the provocation, and
as in the day of temptation in the wilder-
ness ;

When your fathers tempted me : proved
me, and saw my works.

MORNING PRAYER.

Forty years long was I grieved with this
generation, and said : It is a people that
do err in their hearts, for they have not
known my ways.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath : that
they should not enter into my rest.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

1f Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they are appointed. And
at the end of every Psalm throughout the Year, and likewise at the
end o/Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc dimittis, shall
be repeated,

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

Answer. As it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be : world without end.
Amen.

U Then shall be read distinctly with an audible voice the First Lesson,
taken out of the Old Testament, as is appointed in the Calendar,
except there be proper Lessons assigned for that day: He that
readeth so standing and turning himself, as he may best be heard of
all such as are present. And after that, shall be said or sung, in
English, the Hymn called Te Deum Laudamus, daily throughout
the Year.

^ NOTE, That before every Lesson the Minister shall say, Here
beginneth such a Chapter, or Verse of such a Chapter, of such

forefathers : and to remember his holy Cove-
nant ;

our forefather Abraham : that he would give
us;

That we being delivered out of the hand of
our enemies : might serve him without fear ;

In holiness and righteousness before him :
all the days of our life.

And thou, Child, shalt be called the Pro-
phet of the Highest : for thou shalt go before

people : for the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God :

visited us ;

EVENING PRAYER.

H Then shall be said or sung the Psalms in order as they are
appointed. Then a Lesson of the Old Testament, as is appointed.
And after that, Magnificat (or the Song of the Blessed Virgin
Mary) in English, as followeth.

MAGNIFICAT. St. Luke i.

MY soul doth magnify the Lord : and
my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Saviour.

For he hath regarded : the lowliness of
his hand-maiden.

For behold, from henceforth : all gene-
rations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath magnified me :
and holy is his Name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him :
throughout all generations.

He hath shewed strength with his arm :
he hath scattered the proud in the ima-
gination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their
seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good
things : and the rich he hath sent empty
away.

He remembering his mercy hath holpen
his servant Israel : as he promised to our
forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

EVENING PRAYER.

11 Or else this Psalm; except it be on the Nineteenth Day of the
Month, when it is read in the ordinary course of the Psalms.

CANTATE DOMINO. Psalm xcviii.

OSING unto the Lord a new song : for
he hath done marvellous things.

With his own right hand, and with his
holy arm : hath he gotten himself the victory.

The Lord declared his salvation : his
righteousness hath he openly shewed in the
sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and
truth toward the house of Israel : and all
the ends of the world have seen the sal-
vation of our God.

Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all
ye lands : sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

Praise the Lord upon the harp : sing to
the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.

With trumpets also and shawms : shew
yourselves joyful before the Lord the King.

Let the sea make a noise, and all that
therein is : the round world, and they that
dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands, and let
the hills be joyful together before the Lord :
for he cometh to judge the earth.

With righteousness shall he judge the
world : and the people with equity.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

EVENING PRAYER.

face of all people ;

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles :
and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

God shall bless us : and all the ends of
the world shall fear him.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

^ Then shall be said or sung the Apostles' Creed by the Minister and

I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth :

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under
Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and
buried, He descended into hell; The third
day he rose again from the dead, He as-
cended into heaven, And sitteth on the right
hand of God the Father Almighty ; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick
and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost ; The holy
Catholick Church ; The Communion of
Saints ; The Forgiveness of sins ; The Ke-
surrection of the body, And the life ever-
lasting. Amen.

Tl Then sliall follow three Collects ; the first of the Day ; the second for

which two last Collects shall be daily said at Evening Prayer

time in rest and quietness ; through the
merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

Here endeth the Order of Evening Prayer throughout the Tear.

AT MORNING PRAYER.

T[ Upon these Feasts ; Christmas Day, the Epiphany, Saint Matthias,
Easter Day, Ascension Day, Whitsunday, Saint John Baptist,
Saint James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Matthew, Saint Simon and
Saint Jude, Saint Andrew, and upon Trinity Sunday, shall be sung
or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the Apostles' Creed, this
Confession of our Christian Faith, commonly called The Creed of
Saint ATHAXASIUS, by the Minister and people standing.

QUICUNQUE VULT.

TTTHOSOMVEK will be saved : before
V T all things it is necessary that he hold
the Catholick Faith.

Which Faith except every one do keep
whole and undefiled : without doubt he shall
perish everlastingly.

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

Neither confounding the Persons : nor
dividing the Substance.

For there is one Person of the Father,
another of the Son : and another of the Holy
Ghost.

But the Godhead of the Father, of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one : the
Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son :
and such is the Holy Ghost.

The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate :
and the Holy Ghost uncreate.

The Father incomprehensible, the Son
incomprehensible : and the Holy Ghost
incomprehensible .

AT MORNING PRAYER.

The 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 three incompre-
hensibles, 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 three Almighties :
but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God : and
the Holy Ghost is God.

And yet they are not three Gods : but one
God.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son
Lord : and the Holy Ghost Lord.

And yet not three Lords : but one
Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the
Christian verity : to acknowledge every
Person by himself to be God and Lord;

So are we forbidden by the Catholick
Eeligion : to say, There be three Gods, or
three Lords.

The Father is made of none : neither
created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father alone : not made,
nor created, but begotten.

AT MORNING PRAYER.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of
the Son : neither made, nor created, nor
begotten, but proceeding.

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

And in this Trinity none is afore, or after
other : none is greater, or less than another;

But the whole three Persons are co-eternal
together : and co-equal.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid : the
Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity
is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be saved : must thus
think of the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting
salvation : that he also believe rightly the
Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the right Faith is, that we believe
and confess : that our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, is God and Man ;

God, of the Substance of the Father,
begotten before the worlds : and Man, of
the Substance of his Mother, born in the
world;

Perfect God, and perfect Man : of a rea-
sonable soul and human flesh subsisting;

Equal to the Father, as touching his
Godhead : and inferior to the Father, as
touching his Manhood.

AT MORNING PRAYER.

Who although he be God and Man : yet
he is not two, but one Christ;

One ; not by conversion of the Godhead
into flesh : but by taking of the Manhood
into God ;

One altogether; not by confusion of Sub-
stance : but by unity of Person.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one
man : so God and Man is one Christ ;

Who suffered for our salvation : descended
into hell, rose again the third day from the
dead.

He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the
right hand of the Father, God Almighty :
from whence he shall come to judge the
quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men shall rise again
with their bodies : and shall give account for
their own works.

And they that have done good shall go
into life everlasting : and they that have done
evil into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholick Faith : which except
a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son :
and to the Holy Ghost ;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

THE LITANY.

H Here followeth the LITANY, or General Supplication, to be sung
or said after Morning Prayer upon Sundays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays, and at other times when it shall be commanded by the
Ordinary.

OGOD the Father, of heaven : have
mercy upon us miserable sinners.

We sinners do beseech thee to hear us,
Lord God ; and that it may please thee
to rule and govern thy holy Church univer-
sal in the right way ;
