The Preface .

THere was neuer any thyng by the wyt of man so well deuysed , or so sure establysshed , ( whyche in contynuaunce of tyme ) hath not been corrupted : as ( emong other thynges ) it may plainly appeare by the common prayers in the Churche , commonly called deuine seruice . The first originall and grounde whereof , if a man would searche oute by the auncyente fathers , he shall fynde that thesame was not ordained but of a good purpose , and for a greate aduauncement of godlynes . For they so ordred the matter , that all the whole Byble , ( or the greatest part thereof ) should be read ouer once in the yere : entendyng therby , that the Cleargie , and speciallye suche as were ministers of the congregacyon , shoulde ( by often readyng and meditacyon of Goddes worde ) be styrred vp to Godlynes themselues , and be more hable also to exhorte other by wholesome doctryne , and to confute them that wer aduersaries to the truth . And further , that the people ( by dayly hearing of holy scrypture read in the church ) should contynually profyt more and more in the knowledge of God , and be the more enflamed with the loue of hys true religyon . But these many yeres passed , this godly and decente ordre of the auncyente fathers , hath been so altered , broken , and neglected , by plantyng in vncertayne Storyes , Legendes , Respondes , Verses , vayne Repeticions , Commemoracions , & Sinodalles , that commonly when any boke of the Bible was begon , before three or foure Chapters were read out , al the rest were vnread . And in thys sorte the boke of Esai was begonne in Aduent , and the booke of Genesis in Septuagesima : but they were only begonne , and neuer read throughe . After a lyke sorte were other bokes of holy scripture vsed . And moreouer , wheras Sainct Paul would haue such language spoken to the people in the Churche , as they myghte vnderstande , and haue profyt by hearyng the same : The seruice in thys Churche of Englande ( these many yeres ) haue been read in Latine to the people , which they vnderstode not : so that they haue heard with their eares onely , and theyr heartes , spirite and mynde , haue not been edifyed thereby . And furthermore , notwythstandyng that the auncyente fathers haue deuyded the Psalmes into seuen porcyons , wherof euery one was called a Nocturne : now of late time a fewe of them haue been dayly sayd , and oft repeated , and the rest vtterly omytted . Moreouer , the noumbre and hardnes of the rules , called the Pye , and the manyfolde chaungeinges of the seruyce , was the cause , that to turne the booke onely , was so hard and intricate a matter , that manye tymes there was more busynes to fynde out what should be read , then to reade it when it was founde out .

These inconueniences therefore consydered , here is set furth suche an ordre , whereby the same shal bee redressed . And for a readinesse in thys matter , here is drawen out a Kalender for that purpose , whych is playne and easy to be vnderstanden , wherin ( so muche as may be ) the reading of holy scriptures is so set furth , that all thynges shal be done in ordre , without breaking one piece therof from an other . For this cause be cut of , Anthemes , Respondes , Inuitatories , and suche lyke thynges , as did breake the continuall course of the reading of the scripture . Yet because there is no remedie , but that of necessitie there must be some rules : therefore certayne rules are here set furthe , whiche as they be few in numbre , so they be playne and easy to bee vnderstanden . So that here you haue an ordre for prayer ( as touching the reading of holye scripture ) muche agreable to the mynde and purpose of th olde fathers , and a greate deale more profitable and commodious , then that which of late was vsed . It is more profitable , because here are left out many thynges , whereof some be vntrue , some vncertayne , some vayne and supersticious , and is ordeined nothing to be read , but the very pure woorde of God , the holye scriptures , or that whiche is euidentlye grounded vpon the same : and that in suche a language and ordre , as is most easy and playne for the vnderstandyng , both of the readers and hearers . It is also more commodious , bothe for the shortnes thereof , and for the playnnes of the ordre , and for that the rules be few and easy . Furthermore , by this ordre , the Curates shall nede none other bookes for theyr publyque seruice , but thys booke and the Byble : By the meanes whereof , the people shall not bee at so greate charge for bookes , as in tymes past they haue been .

And where heretofore there hath been greate diuersitie in saying and synging in churches within this realme , some folowyng Salisbury vse , some Herforde vse , some the vse of Bangor , some of Yorke , and some of Lincolne : Now from hence foorthe , all the whole Realme shall haue but one vse . And yf any would iudge thys waye more paynfull , because that all thinges must be read vpon the booke , whereas before by the reason of so often repeticion , they could saye many thynges by hearte : If those men will weigh their labour , with the profite and knowledge whiche daylye they shall obteyne by readyng vpon the booke , they wyll not refuse the payne , in consideracion of the great profite that shall ensue thereof .

And forasmuche as nothyng can almost bee so playnely sette foorthe , but doubtes may ryse in the vse and practisyng of the same : To appease all suche diuersitie ( if any aryse ) and for the resolucion of al doubtes , concernyng the maner howe to vnderstande , dooe and execute the thynges conteyned in this booke : The parties that so doubte , or diuerslye take anye thyng , shall alwaye resorte to the Bysshoppe of the Dyocesse , who by hys dyscrecion shall take ordre for the quieting and appeasyng of the same , so that the same order bee not contrary to anye thyng conteyned in thys booke . And yf the Bysshoppe of the Dyocesse be in anye doubte , then may he sende for the resolucion thereof vnto the Archebishoppe .

Though it be appoynted in the aforewritten Preface , that all thynges shal be read and song in the Churche , in the Englyshe tongue , to the ende that the congregacion may be thereby edyfyed : yet it is not mente , but when men say Morning and Euening prayer priuately , they may say the same in any language that they themselues doe vnderstande .

And all Priestes and Deacons , shal be bounded to say dayly the morning and Euening prayer , either priuately or openly , except they be letted by preachyng , studying of diuinitie , or by some other vrgent cause .

And the Curate that ministreth in euery Parishe Churche , or Chapel , being at home , & not beeing otherwyse reasonablye letted , shall saye the same in the Parishe Churche or Chapell where he ministreth , and shall tolle a bell thereto , a conuenient tyme before he beginne , that suche as be disposed maye come to heare Gods worde , and to praye wyth hym .

¶ Of Ceremonies , why some be abolisshed , and some retayned .

OF such Ceremonies as be vsed in the Churche , and haue had their beginning by the institucyon of man : some at the first were of godly entent and purpose deuysed , and yet at length turned to vanitie and supersticion : some entred into the churche by vndiscrete deuocion , and such a zele as was without knowledge : and forbecuse they were winked at in the beginning , they grewe dayly to more and more abuses : which not onely for theyr vnprofitablenes , but also because they haue much blynded the people , and obscured the glory of god , are worthy to be cut awaye & cleane reiected . Other there be , whyche although they haue been deuised by man , yet it is thought good to reserue them styll , aswel for a decent ordre in the Churhe ( for the whiche they were fyrste deuised ) as because they parteine to edificacion : whereunto all thynges done in the Churche ( as the Apostle teacheth ) ought to be referred . And although the kepyng or omittyng of a Ceremonie ( in it selfe consydered ) is but a small thyng : yet the wilful and contempteous transgression and breaking of a common ordre & discipline , is no small offence before god .

Let all thynges bee done emong you ( saieth S. Paul ) in a semely and due ordre . The appointment of the whiche ordre parteineth not to priuate men : therfore no man ought to take in hande , nor presume to appoynte or alter any publyke or common ordre in Christes churche , except he be lawfullye called and aucthorized thereunto .

And whereas in thys oure tyme , the myndes of men are so diuerse , that some thinke it a great matter of conscience to depart from a piece of the least of their Ceremonies ( they be so addicted to their olde customes : ) and agayne on the other syde , some bee so newe fangled , that they would innouate all thyng , and so doe despyse th old , that nothyng can lyke them , but that is newe : it was thoughte expediente , not so muche to haue respecte howe to please and satisfie eyther of these parties , as how to please god , and profite them both . And yet lest any man should be offended ( whom good reason might satisfie ) here be certayne causes rendred , why some of the accustomed Ceremonies be put away , and some retained and kept styll .

Some are put away , because the great excesse & multitude of them hath so encreased in these latter dayes , that the burthen of them was intollerable : wherof S. Augustyne in hys tyme complayned , that they were growen to suche a noumbre , that the state of Christian people was in worse case ( concerning that matter ) then were the Iewes . And he counsailed that such yoke and burthen should be taken away , as time waould serue quietly to doe it .

But what would S. Augustyne haue said , yf he had seen the Ceremonies of late dayes vsed emong vs ; whereunto the multitude vsed in his time , was not to be compared . This our excessiue multitude of Ceremonies was so great , and many of them so darke , that they did more confounde and darken , then declare & set forth Chiristes benefites vnto vs .

And besides this , Christes gospel is not a Ceremonial law ( as much of Moses law was ) but it is a religion to serue God , not in bondage of the figure or shadow , but in the fredom of spirite , being contente onely with those Ceremonies , which doe serue to a decent ordre and godly discipline , and such as be apte to stirre vp the dul mind of man to the remembraunce of his duetie to god , by some notable and special significacion , whereby he myght be edified .

Furthermore , the moste weyghtie cause of th abolishement of certayn Ceremonies was , that they were so farre abused , partely by the supersticious blyndnesse of the rude and vnlearned , and partely by the vnsacyable auaryce of such as sought more theyr own lucre , then the glory of God : that the abuses coulde not well be taken away , the thyng remayning styll . But nowe as concerning those persons , whyche peraduenture wyll bee offended , for that some of th old Ceremonies are reteyned stil : if they considre that without some Ceremonies , it is not possible to kepe any ordre , or quiet discipline in the church : they shall easely perceyue iust cause to reforme their iudgementes . And if they thinke much , that any of th old doe remain , & would rather haue all deuised a new : Then such men graunting some Ceremonies conuenient to be had , surely where the olde may be wel vsed , there they cannot reasonably reproue the olde , onely for their age , without bewraying of their owne foly . For in such a case , they ought rather to haue reuerence vnto than for their antiquitie , yf they wyll declare them selues to be more studious of vnitie & concord , then of innouacions & new fanglenes : whiche ( asmuche as may be with the true setting forth of Christes religion ) is alwayes to be eschewed . Furthermore , such shal haue no iust cause with the Ceremonies reserued , to be offended . For as those be taken away , which were most abused , & did burthen mens consciences without any cause : so the other that remayne , are retayned for a discipline and ordre , which ( vpon iuste causes ) may be altered & chaunged , & therefore are not to be estemed equal with gods law . And moreouer , they be nether darke nor dombe Ceremonies : but are so set forth , that euery man may vnderstand what they doe meane , and to what vse they doe serue . So that it is not like that they in tyme to come , should be abused as the other haue been . And in these oure doynges , we condemne no other nacions , nor prescribe any thing , but to our own people onely . For we thinke it conuenient that euery countrey should vse suche Ceremonies , as they shall thynke best to the setting forth of Gods honoure or glory , and to the reducing of the people to a most perfecte and Godly liuing , without errour or supersticion . And that they should putte awaye other thynges whyche from tyme to tyme they perceiue to be most abused , as in mens ordinaunces it often chaunceth dyuersely in dyuerse countreyes .

¶ An Acte for the vniformitie of common prayer , and administracion of the Sacramentes

WHere there hath been a very Godly ordre set furth by autoritie of Parlament , for common prayer and administracion of the Sacramentes , to be vsed in the mother tongue within this Church of England , agreable to the word of God and the primatiue Church , very confortable to al good people , desyring to liue in Christen conuersacion , & moste profitable to the state of this Realme : vpon the whiche , the mercy , fauour , and blessyng of almighty god , is in no wise so readilye and plenteously powred , as by common prayers , due vsing of the Sacramentes , & often preaching of the gospel , with the deuocion of the hearers : And yet this notwithstanding , a great noumbre of people , in diuerse partes of thys realme , folowing their owne sensualitie , and liuing either withoute knowledge or due feare of God , doe wilfully and damnablye before almightie God , absteyne and refuse to come to theyr Parishe Churches and other places , where common prayer , adminystracion of the Sacramentes , & preachyng of the word of God is vsed , vpon the Sundayes and other dayes , ordeyned to be holy dayes .

For reformacion herof , be it enacted by the King our souereigne lord , with th assent of the Lordes and commons , in this present Parlament assembled , and by the autoritie of the same , that from , and after the feast of al Sainctes next coming , al & euery person and persons , enhabiting within this Realme , or any other the kynges Maiesties dominions , shal diligently and faythfully , ( hauing no lawefull or reasonable excuse to be absent ) endeuour themselues to resorte to theyr Parishe Churche , or Chapell accustomed , or vpon reasonable let therof , to some vsual place , where common prayer & such seruice of God shal be vsed in such tyme of let , vpon euery Sunday , and other dayes , ordeyned and vsed to be kept as holy daies , & then , and there to abide , ordrely , & soberly , during the time of the common prayer , preachinges , or other seruice of God , there to bee vsed & ministred , vpon payn of punishment by the Censures of the church .

And for the due execucion herof , the Kynges most excellent maiestie , the Lordes temporal , and all the Commons in this presente Parlament assembled , dooeth in Goddes name , earnestlye require and charge all th archbishoppes , Bishoppes , and other Ordenaries , that they shall endeuour , themselues to the vttermoste of theyr knowledges , that the due and true execucion herof , may be had throughoute theyr Dyocesses and charges , as they will aunswere before God , for such euils and plages , wherewith almyghtie God may iustly punishe his people , for neglecting thys good and wholesome lawe .

And for theyr autoritie in this behalfe , be it further likewise enacted by the autoritie aforesayde , that all and synguler the same Archbishops , Bishops , & al other theyr officers , exercisyng ecclesiastical iurisdiccion , aswel in place exempt , as not exempt , within their Dyocesses , shall haue full power and autoritie by this Acte , to refourme , correct and punishe , by Censures of the churche , all and synguler persones whiche shall offende within anye theyr iurisdiccions or Dyocesses , after the sayd feast of all sainctes next comming : against thys Acte and statute , anye other lawe , statute , priuiledge , libertie , or prouision heretofore made , had , or suffered , to the contrary notwithstanding .

And because there hath ariesen in the vse and exercise of the foresayde common seruice in the Churche heretofore sette foorth , diuerse doubtes for the fashion and maner of the ministracion of the same , rather by the curiositie of the minister and mistakers , then of any other woorthy cause : therfore , aswel for the more playne and manifest explanacion hereof , as for the more perfeccion of the sayde ordre of common seruice , in some places where it is necessari to make the same prayer and fashion of seruice more earneste and fitte to stire christian people to the true honoring of almighty God : The kinges most excellent maiestie , with th assent of the lordes and Commons in this present Parlament assembled , and by th auctoritie of the same , hath caused the foresayde ordre of common seruice , entituled , The booke of Common prayer , to be faythfully & godly perused , explaned , and made fully perfect : & by the foresaid autoritie , hath annexed and ioyned it , so explaned and perfected to thys present statute , adding also a fourme and maner of makyng & consecrating of Archebishops , Bishops , priestes and Deacons , to be of lyke force , autoritie & value , as the same like foresayde boke entituled , The boke of Common prayer , was before : and to be accepted , receued , vsed and estemed in like sort and maner , & with the same clauses of prousions and excepcions , to al ententes , construccions and purposes , as by the Acte of Parlamente made in the seconde yere of the kinges Maiesties reigne , was ordeined , limited , expressed , and appoynted for the vniformitie of seruice , and administracion of the Sacramentes throughout the realme , vpon such seueral paynes , as in the said Act of Parlament is expressed . And the sayd former Act to stande in full force and strength , to all ententes and construccions , & to be applyed , practised , and put in vre , to , and for the establishing of the boke of common praier , now explained , and herunto annexed : & also the said fourme of making of Archbishops , Bishops , priestes and Deacons , hereunto annexed , as it was for the former boke . And by th autoritie aforesayd it is nowe further enacted , that if any maner of persone , or persones , enhabiting , & being within this Realme , or any other the kinges Maiesties dominions , shall after the sayde feaste of all Sainctes , willinglye , and wittinglye , heare and bee present at anye other maner or fourme of common prayer of administracion of the Sacramentes , of makyng of ministers in the churches , or of anye other rites conteyned in the booke annexed to this Acte , then is mencioned and set furth in the sayd boke , or that is contrary to the fourme of sondry prouisions & excepcions , conteined in the foresayde former statute , and shal be thereof conuicted , accordyng to the lawes of this realme , before the Iustices of Assise , Iustices of Oyer , and Determiner , Iustices of peace in theyr Sessions , or any of them , by the verdict of twelue men , or by his , or theyr own confession , or otherwyse , shall for the fyrst offence suffre impriesonment for sixe monethes , without bayle or maynprice : and for the seconde offence , beeyng likewise conuicted , ( as is aboue sayde , ) empriesonment for one whole yere : and for the third offence , in like maner , empriesonment duryng hys or theyr liues . And for the more knowledge to be geuen hereof , and better obseruacion of this lawe : Be it enacted by the auctoritie aforesaid , that al and singuler Curates , shal vpon one Sunday euery quarter of the yere , duryng one whole yere nexte folowyng the foresayd feast of al Sainctes next coming , reade thys present Acte in the Churche , at the time of the most assembly : and likewise once in euery yere folowing , at the same tyme declaring vnto the people by the autoritie of the scripture , home the mercye and goodnes of God hath in all ages been shewed to his people , in their necessities and extremities , by meanes of hearty and faythful prayers made to almightie god , specially where people be gathered together with one fayth and mynd , to offre vp theyr heartes by prayer , as the best Sacrifices that Christian menne can yelde .

The Table and Kalender , expressing the ordre of the Psalmes and Lessons , to be sayed at the Morning and Euening prayer throughout the yere , excepte certayne proper feastes , as the rules folowyng , more playnely declare .

¶ The order howe the Psalter is appoynted to be readde .

THe Psalter shal be read through , once euery Moneth . And because that some Monethes be longer then some other bee , it is thoughte good to make them euen , by thys meanes .

To euery Moneth , shall be appoynted ( as concernyng thys purpose ) iust .xxx. dayes .

And because Ianuary and Marche hath one day aboue the said numbre , and February which is placed betwene them both , hath onely .xxviii. dayes : February shall borowe of eyther of the Monethes ( of Ianuary & March ) one day . And so the Psalter which shal be read in February , must begin the last daye of Ianuary , and ende the first daye of Marche .

And wheras Maye , Iuly , August , Octobre , and Decembre , haue .xxxi. dayes a piece : it is ordered that the same Psalmes , shall be read the last daye of the sayd Monethes , which were read the day before . So that the Psalter may begin agayne the first day of the next Monethes ensuing .

Now to know what Psalmes shal be read euery daye , loke in the Kalender , the numbre that is appoynted for the Psalmes , and then fynd the same numbre in this Table , and vpon that numbre shall you see what Psalmes shal be sayd at Morning and Euening prayer .

And where the . Cxix . Psalme is deuided into .xxii. porcyons , & is ouerlong to bee read at one tyme : it is so ordred , that at one tyme shall not bee read aboue foure or fyue of the sayed porcyons , as you shall perceyue to be noted in this Table folowyng .

And here is also to be noted , that in this Table , and in all other partes of the seruice , where any Psalmes are appoynted , the numbre is expressed after the great Englishe Byble , which from the .ix. Psalme , vnto the Cxlviii . Psalme ( folowyng the deuision of the Hebrues ) doeth varye in numbres from the common Latine translacion .

❧ ❧ The ordre how the rest of holy scripture ( besyde the Psalter ) is appoynted to be read .

I Hold Testament is appoynted for the fyrst Lessons , at Mornyng and Euenyng prayer , and shal be read throughe , euery yere once , except certayne bookes and Chapyters , whych be least edyfying , and myght best be spared , and therfore be left vnreadde .

The newe testamente is appoynted for the seconde Lessons at Morning and Euening praier , and shal be read ouer orderly euery yere thrise , besyde the Epistles and gospels : except the Apocalyps , out of the whyche there be onely certayne Lessons appoynted , vpon dyuerse propre feastes .

And to knowe what lessons shal be read euery daye : finde the day of the moneth in the Kalender folowyng , and there ye shall perceyue the bokes and Chapyters that shall bee read for the Lessons both at Morning and Euenyng prayer .

And here is to be noted , that whensoeuer there be any propre Psalmes or Lessons appoynted for any feast , moueable or vnmoueable : then the Psalmes and lessons , appoynted in the kalender , shal be omited for the time .

Ye muste note also , that the Collect , Epistle and Gospel , appoynted for the Sundaye , shall serue all the wieke after , excepte there fall some feast that hath hys proper .

Thys is also to be noted , concernyng the Leape yeres , that the .xxv. day of February , whyche in Leape yere , is counted for two daies , shal in those two dayes , alter neyther Psalme nor lesson : but the same Psalmes and lessons , whyche bee sayed the fyrste daye , shall also serue for the seconde daye .

Also whersoeuer the beginning of any lesson , Epistle or Gospell is not expressed : there ye must beginne at the beinning of the Chapter .

And wheresoeuer is not expressed howe farre shall be read , there shall you reade to the ende of the Chapter .

¶ The ordre where Morning and Euening prayer . shal be vsed and sayde .

The Morning and Euening prayer , shal be vsed in suche place of the Church , Chapel , or Chauncel , and the Minister shal so turne him , as the people may best heare . And yf there be any controuersie therin , the matter shal be referred to the ordenarye , and he or hys deputie shall appoynt the place , & the chauncels shall remayne , as they haue done in tymes past .

And here is to be noted , that the Minister at the tyme of the communion , and at all other tymes in hys ministracion , shall vse neyther Albe , Vestment , nor Cope : but beeyng Archebisshop , or Bisshop , he shall haue and weare a rochet : and being a Priest or Deacon , he shal haue and weare a surples onelye .

¶ An ordre for Morning prayer , daylye throughoute the yeare .

At the beginning both of Morning praier , & lykewise of Euening prayer , the Minister shal reade with a loude voyce , some one of these sentences of the scriptures that folowe . And then he shall saye that , whiche is wrytten after the sayde sentences .

Ezechiel xviii . AT what tyme soeuer a sinner dooeth repente hym of his synne from the bottome of his heart : I wyll putte all hys wickednes out of my remembraunce sayeth the Lorde .

Psal. li. I doe knowe myne owne wickednes , and my synne is alwaye agaynst me .

Psal. li. Turne thy face awaye from oure synnes ( O Lorde ) and blot out all oure offences .

Psalm. li A sorowfull spirite , is a sacrifice to God : despyse not ( O Lorde ) humble and contryte heartes .

Ioel. ii Rente youre heartes , and not your garmentes , and turne to the Lord youre God : because he is gentle and merciful , he is paciente and of muche mercy , and suche a one that is sory for youre affliccyons .

Dani. ix . To thee O Lorde God belongeth mercy and forgeuenes : for we haue gone awaye from thee , and haue not harkened to thy voyce , wherby we might walke in thy lawes , whyche thou hast appoynted for vs .

Ierem. ii Correct vs , O Lord and yet in thy iudgement , not in thy furye , leste we shoulde be consumed and brought to nothing .

Math. iii Amend your lyues , for the kyngdome of God is at hand .

Luke . xv . I wyll goe to my father and saye to him : father , I haue synned agaynste heauen , and agaynste thee , I am no more worthy to bee called thy sonne .

Psa. cxlii Entre not into iudgement with thy seruauntes , O lorde , for no fleshe is righteous in thy sighte .

i. Iohn . i. Yf we saye that we haue no synne , we deceyue our selues , and there is no trueth in vs .

DEarely beloued brethren , the scripture moueth vs in sondrye places , to acknowledge and confesse our manifold sinnes and wickednes , & that we should not dissemble , nor cloke them before the face of almyghtie God oure heauenly father , but confesse them with an humble , lowely , penitent , and obedient heart : to th ende that we may obtayne forgeuenes of the same by his infinite goodnes and mercy . And although we oughte at all times , humbly to knowledge our sinnes before God : yet ought we most chiefly so to do , when we assemble and mete together , to rendre thankes for the greate benefites that we haue receyued at his handes , to set foorth his moste worthy prayse , to heare his most holy worde , and to aske those thinges whych be requisite and necessarie , aswell for the body as the soule . Wherfore I praye and beseche you , as many as be here present , to accompanie me with a pure heart and humble voyce , vnto the throne of the heauenly grace , saying after me .

¶ A generall confession , to bee sayde of the whole congregacion after the Minister , kneelyng .

ALmighty and most merciful father , we haue erred & straied from thy waies , lyke lost shepe . We haue folowed to much the deuises & desires of our own heartes . We haue offended against thy holy lawes . We haue lefte vndone those thynges whiche we oughte to haue done , and we haue done those thynges whyche we oughte not to haue done , and there is no healthe in vs : but thou , O Lorde , haue mercy vpon vs myserable offendours . Spare thou them O God , which confesse theyr faultes . Restore thou them that be penitent , accordyng to thy promyses declared vnto mankynde , in Christe Iesu oure Lorde . And graunt , O most mercyfull father , for hys sake , that we may hereafter lyue a godly , ryghteous , and sobre lyfe , to the glory of thy holy name . Amen .

¶ The absolucion to be pronounced by the Minister alone .

ALmightye God , the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ , whiche desireth not the death of a sinner , but rather that he may turne from hys wyckednes & liue : and hath geuen power and commaundement to hys ministers , to declare & pronounce to hys people being penitent , the absolucion and remission of theyr synnes : he pardoneth and absolueth all them whyche truely repent , & vnfaynedly beleue hys holy ghospell . Wherfore we beseche him to graunte vs true repentaunce and hys holy spirite , that those thynges maye please hym whiche we doe at thys presente , and that the rest of our lyfe hereafter , may bee pure and holy : so that at the last we may come to his eternall ioye , through Iesus Christe oure Lorde .

¶ The people shall aunswere . Amen .

Then shall the Minister begyn the Lordes prayer . with a loude voyce .

OVre father which arte in heauen , halowed bee thy name . Thy kingdome come . Thy wyll bee done in earth as it is in heauen . Geue vs thys day our dayly bread . And forgeue vs oure trespasses , as we forgeue them that trespasse agaynste vs . And leade vs not into temptacion . But delyuer vs from euell . Amen .

¶ Then lykewyse he shall saye .

O Lorde open thou oure lippes .

Aunswer . And our mouth shall shewe foorth thy prayse .

¶ Priest . O God make spede to saue vs .

¶ Aunswer . O Lorde make hast to helpe vs .

¶ Priest . Glory be to the father , and to the sonne , & to the holy ghoste .

As it was in the beginnyng , is nowe , and euer shall bee : worlde without ende . Amen .

Prayse ye the Lorde .

¶ Then shal be sayd or song this Psalme folowyng .

O Come let vs syng vnto the Lord : let vs hartely reioyce in the strength of oure saluacyon .

Let vs come before hys presence with thankesgeuyng : and shewe oure selfe glad in hym with Psalmes .

For the Lorde is a great God : and a great kyng aboue al Goddes .

In hys hand are all the corners of the earthe : and the strength of the hylles is hys also .

The sea is hys , and he made it : and his handes prepared the drye lande .

O come , let vs worship and fall downe : and knele before the Lorde oure maker .

For he is the Lorde oure God : and wee are the people of his pasture , and the shepe of hys handes .

To daye yf ye wyll heare hys voyce , harden not youre heartes : as in the prouocacion , and as in the day of temptacyon in the wyldernes .

When your fathers tempted me , proued me , and sawe my workes .

Fortie yeares long was I grieued with this generacion , and sayde : it is a people that doe erre in theyr heartes , for they haue not knowen my wayes .

Vnto whom I sware in my wrathe : that they shoulde not entre into my reste .

Glory be to the father , and to the sonne : & to the holy ghost .

As it was in the beginning , is nowe , and euer shall be worlde wythout ende . Amen .

Then shall folowe certayne Psalmes in ordre , as they be appoynted in a Table , made for that purpose : except there be proper psalmes appoynted for that daye . And at th end of euery Psalme throughoute the yeare , and likewise in th end of Benedictus , Benedicite , Magnificat , and Nunc dimittis , shal be repeated .

Glory be to the father , and to the sonne . &c.

Then shal be read two Lessons distinctly with a loude voyce , that the people may heare . The first of the olde Testamente , the second of the new . Lyke as they be appoynted by the Kalender , except there be proper Lessons assigned for that daye : the Minister that readeth the Lesson , standing and turning him so , as he may best be hard of al such as be present . And before euery Lesson , the Minister shall saye thus . The firste , seconde , thyrd , or fourth Chapiter of Genesis , or Exodus , Mathew , Marke , or other like , as is appointed in the Kalender . And in the ende of euery Chapiter , he shall saye .

¶ Here endeth suche a Chapiter , of suche a Booke .

And ( to th end the people may the better heare ) in such places where they doe syng , there shall the Lessons be song in a playne tune , after the maner of distinct reading : and lykewyse the Epistle and Gospel .

After the fyrst Lesson , shal folowe Te deum laudamus , in English , dayly through the whole yeare .

Te deum laudamus WE praise thee , O God : we knowledge thee to be the Lorde .

All the earth doeth worship thee : the father euerlasting .

To thee all Angels crye aloude : the heauens and al the powers therein .

To thee Cherubin and Seraphin , continually doe crye .

When thou tokest vpon thee to delyuer man , thou diddest not abhorre the vyrgins wombe .

When thou hadst ouercomed the sharpenes of death , thou didst open the kingdom of heauen to al beleuers .

Thou syttest on the ryghte hande of God , in the glory of the father .

We beleue that thou shalt come to be our iudge .

We therfore pray thee , helpe thy seruauntes , whom thou hast redemed with thy precious bloud .

Make them to be numbred with thy Sainctes in glorye euerlastyng .

O Lorde saue thy people : and blesse thine heritage .

Gouerne them and lift them vp for euer .

Glory be to the father , and to the sonne : and to the. &c. As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer . &c.

And after the second Lesson , shal be vsed and sayd , Benedictus , in Englishe as foloweth .

Benedictus . BLessed bee the Lorde God of Israel : for he hath visited and redemed hys people .

And hath raysed vp a mightie saluacion for vs : in the house of hys seruaunt Dauid .

As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophetes : which haue been sence the worlde began .

That we should bee saued from oure enemies : and from the handes of all that hate vs .

To perfourme the mercy promised to oure forefathers . and to remember his holy couenaunt .

To perfourme the oth which he sware to oure forefather Abraham : that he would geue vs .

That we beyng deliuered oute of the handes of our enemies : myght serue hym without feare .

In holynes and righteousnes before him : al the dayes of our lyfe .

And thou childe shalte be called the Prophete of the highest : for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord , to prepare hys wayes .

To geue knowledge of saluacion vnto his people : for the remission of theyr synnes .

Through the tender mercy of our God : wherby the daye spryng , from an high hath visited vs .

To geue light to them that sit in darkenes , and in the shadowe of death : and to guide our fete into the way of peace .

Glorye bee to the father , and to the sonne : and to the holy gost .

As it was in the beginning , is nowe and euer . &c.

Or els thys Psalme .

Iubilate deo . psa . c O Be ioyfull in the lord ( al ye landes : ( serue the lord with gladnes , and come before his presence with a song

Be ye sure that the lord he is god : it is he that hath made vs , and not we our selues , we are his people , and the shepe of his pasture .

O goe youre waye into hys gates with thankesgeuing , and into his courtes with prayse : be thankefull vnto hym , and speake good of hys name .

For the Lord is gracious , his mercy is euerlasting : and hys trueth endureth from generacion to generacion .

Glory be to the father , and to the sonne : and to the. &c. As it was in the beginning , is now , and euer shal be : world without ende . Amen .

Then shal be sayd the Crede , by the Minister and the people , standing .

I Beleue in god the father almightie , maker of heauen and earth . And in Iesus Chryste hys onely sonne our Lorde . Which was conceiued by the holy goste , borne of the virgin Marye . Suffred vnder Ponce Pilate , was crucified , dead and buryed , he descended into hell . The thyrd daye he rose agayn from the dead . He ascended into heauen , and sitteth on the right hande of God the father almightye . From thence shall he come to iudge the quicke and the dead . I beleue in the holye goste . The holye Catholyke Churche . The communyon of Saynctes . The forgeuenesse of synnes . The resurreccyon of the body . And the lyfe euerlastyng . Amen .

¶ And after that , these prayers folowyng , aswel at Euenyng prayer , as at Morning prayer : all deuoutely knelyng . The Minister first pronouncyng with a loude voyce .

The Lorde be with you .

Aunswere . And with thy spirite .

The Minister . ¶ Let vs pray .

Lorde haue mercy vpon vs .

Christ haue mercy vpon vs .

Lorde haue mercy vpon vs .

¶ Then the Minister , Clerkes and people , shall saye the Lordes prayer in Englishe , with a loude voyce .

¶ Our father which art in heauen . &c.

Then the Minister standing vp , shal saye .

O lorde shewe thy mercy vpon vs .

Aunswere . And graunt vs thy saluacion .

¶ Priest . O Lorde saue the kyng .

Aunswere . And mercifully heare vs , when we call vpon thee .

Aunswere . Because there is none other that fighteth for vs , but onely thou O God .

Priest . O God , make cleane our heartes within vs .

Aunswere . And take not thyne holy spirite from vs .

Then shall folowe three Collectes . The first of the day , which shal be the same that is appointed at the Communion . The second for peace . The third for grace to liue wel . And the two last Collectes shal neuer alter , but dayly be said at Morning prayer , throughout all the yeare as foloweth .

The second Collecte for Peace .

O God , whiche arte aucthour of peace , and louer of concorde , in knowledge of whom standeth oure eternall lyfe , whose seruice is perfecte freedome : defende vs thy humble seruauntes , in al assaultes of our enemies , that we surely trustyng in thy defence , may not feare the power of any aduersaryes : through the might of of Iesu Christ our lord . Amen .

The thyrd Collect for grace .

Amen .

¶ An ordre for Euening prayer throughout the yeare .

The Priest shall saye .

Then lykewyse he shall saye .

O Lorde open thou our lyppes .

Aunswere . And our mouth shall shewe foorth thy prayse .

Priest . O God make spede to saue vs .

Aunswere . Lord make hast to helpe vs .

Priest . Glory bee to the father , & to the sonne : & to the holy goste .

As it was in the beginning , is nowe , and euer shall be : world without ende . Amen .

Prayse ye the Lorde .

Then Psalmes in ordre as they be appoynted in the Table for Psalmes , excepte there be proper Psalmes appoynted for that daye . Then a Lesson of the olde Testamente as is appoynted lykewyse in the Kalender , except there be proper Lessons appoynted for that day . After that , Magnificat , in Englishe as foloweth .

Magnificat MY soule doeth magnifie the Lorde : and my spirite hath reioysed in God my Sauioure .

For he hath regarded the lowelines of his handmayden :

For behold from henceforth , al generacions shal cal me blessed

For he that is mightie , hath magnified me : and holy is hys name .

And hys mercy is on them that feare hym : throughout al generacions .

He hath shewed strength with hys arme : he hath scattered the proude , in the ymaginacyon of theyr heartes .

He hath put down the mightie from their seate : and hath exalted the humble and meke .

He hath fylled the hungrye with good thynges : and the riche he hath sente emptye awaye .

He remembryng his mercy , hathe holpen hys seruaunte Israel : as he promised to our forefathers , Abraham and hys seede for euer .

Glory bee to the father , and to the sonne : & to the holy ghost .

As it was in the beginnyng , is nowe , and euer shal be : worlde without ende . Amen .

¶ Or els this Psalme .

Cantate domino . psa . xcviii O Syng vnto the Lorde a newe song : for he hathe done merueylous thynges .

With his owne ryght hand , and with hys holye arme : hath he gotten hymselfe the victory .

The Lorde declared hys saluacyon : hys ryghteouseness hath he openly shewed , in the sight of the heathen .

He hathe remembred hys mercye and trueth towarde the house of Israel : and all the endes of the world haue seen the saluacyon of oure God .

Shew youre selues ioyfull vnto the Lorde all ye landes : sing , reioyce , and geue thankes .

Prayse the Lorde vpon the harpe : syng to the harpe with a Psalme of thankesgeuyng .

With trompettes also & shawmes : O shewe youre selues ioyfull before the Lorde the kyng .

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

Let the floudes clappe theyr handes , and let the hylles be ioyfull together before the Lorde : for he is come to iudge the earthe .

With righteousnes shall he iudge the world : and the people with equitie .

Glory be to the father . &c. As it was in the &c.

¶ Then a Lesson of the new Testament . And after that ( Nunc dimittis ) in Englishe , as foloweth .

LOrde nowe lettest thou thy seruaunte departe in peace : according to thy worde .

For myne eyes haue seene : thy saluacyon .

Whyche thou hast prepared : before the face of all people .

To be a light to lyghten the Gentyles : and to be the glory of thy people Israel .

Glory be to the father , and to the sonne , & to the holy ghoste .

As it was in the beginnyng , is nowe . &c. Amen .

¶ Or els this Psalme .

Deus misereatur . psal lxvii . GOd be mercyfull vnto vs , and blesse vs : and shew vs the lyght of hys countenaunce , and bee mercyfull vnto vs .

That thy way may be knowen vpon earth : thy sauyng health among all nacions ,

Let the people prayse thee O God : yea let all the people prayse thee .

O let the nacyons reioyce and bee gladde : for thou shalte iudge the folke righteously , and gouerne the nacyons vpon earth .

Lette the people prayse thee O God : lette all the people prayse thee .

Then shall the earth bryng foorth her increase : and God , euen our owne God shall geue vs hys blessyng .

God shall blesse vs : and all the endes of the worlde shall feare hym .

Glory bee to the father , & to the sonne : & to the holy ghost .

As it was in the beginnyng , is nowe . &c.

Then shall folowe the Crede , with other prayers as is before appointed at Morning prayer after Benedictus . And with three Collectes : Fyrst of the daye : the second of peace : thyrde for ayde agaynste all perilles , as hereafter foloweth . Whiche two last Collectes shal be dayly sayde at Euenyng prayer withoute alteracion .

The seconde Collect at Euening prayer .

O God , from whom all holy desyres , all good counsayles and all iuste workes dooe procede : geue vnto thy seruauntes that peace , which the world cannot geue : that bothe our heartes may be sette to obeye thy commaundementes , and also that by thee , we beyng defended from the feare of oure enemyes , maye passe oure tyme in reste and quyetnes , through the merites of Iesus Christ our Sauiour . Amen .

The thyrd Collecte , for ayde agaynst all perilles .

LIghten our darkenes we beseche thee , O Lord , & by thy great mercy , defend vs from al perilles and daungers of this nighte , for the loue of thy onelye sonne our Sauiour Iesus Christ . Amen .

In the feastes of Christmas , the Epiphanie , saincte Mathie , Easter , th assention , Pentecost , Sainct Iohn Baptist , Sainct Iames , Sainct Bartholomew : Sainct Mathew , Saincte Simon and Iude , Sainct Andrew , and Trinitie Sundaye : shal be songe or sayde immediatly after Benedictus , this confession of oure Christen fayth .

Quicumque vult . WHosoeuer wil be saued : before al thinges it is necessarye that he holde the catholyke fayth .

Which fayth except euery one do kepe holy and vndefyled : withoute doubte he shall perishe euerlastinglye .

And the catholike fayth is this : that wee worshippe one God in Trinitie , and Trinitie in vnitie .

Neyther confoundinge the persons : nor deuydinge the substaunce .

For there is one person of the father , another of the sonne : and another of the holy ghoste .

But the Godhead of the father , of the sonne , and of the holy ghost is al one : the glori equal , the maiestie coeternal .

Suche as the father is , such is the sonne : and such is the holy ghoste .

The father vncreate , the sonne vncreate : and the holye ghost vncreate .

The father incomprehensible , the sonne incomprehensible : and the holy ghost incomprehensible .

The father eternall , the sonne eternal : and the holy goste eternall .

And yet they are not three eternalles : but one eternall .

As also there be not three incomprehensibles , nor three vncreated : but one vncreated , and one incomprehensible .

So lykewise the father is almighty , the sonne almightie : and the holy ghost almightie .

And yet they are not thre almighties : but one almightie .

So the father is God , the sonne is God : and the holye ghoste is God .

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

So lykewyse the father is Lorde , the sonne Lorde : and the holy ghoste Lorde .

And yet not three Lordes : but one Lorde .

For lyke as we be compelled by the Christian veritie : to acknowledge euery person by himself , to be god and Lord .

So are we forbidden by the catholike religion ; to saye thers . be three Goddes or three Lordes .

The father is made of none : neither created nor begotten .

The sonne is of the father alone : not made , nor created , but begotten .

The holy ghost is of the father and of the sonne : neyther made , nor created , nor begotten , but procedinge .

So there is one father , not three fathers , one sonne , not three sonnes : one holy ghost , not three holy ghostes .

And in this Trinitie , none is afore or after other : none is greater , nor lesse then another .

But the whole three persons : be coeternal together and coequall .

So that in all thynges , as is aforesayde : the vnitie in Trinitie , and the Trinitie in vnitie , is to be worshipped .

He therefore that wyll be saued : muste thus thinke of the Trinitie .

Furthermore , it is necessarye to euerlastinge saluacion : that he also beleue rightely in the incarnacion of our Lord Iesu Christe .

For the righte fayth is , that we beleue and confesse : that our Lord Iesus Christ , the sonne of God , is god and man .

God of the substaunce of the father , begotten before the worldes : and man of the substaunce of his mother , borne in the worlde .

Perfecte God , and perfecte man : of a reasonable soule : and humayne fleshe subsistinge .

Equall to the father as touching his Godhead : and inferioure to the father , touching his manhode .

Who although he be God and man : yet he is not two , but one christ .

One , not by conuersion of the godhead into flesshe : but by taking of the manhode into God .

One altogether , not by confusion of substaunce : but by vnitie of person .

For as the reasonable soule and flesshe is one man : so God and man is one christ .

Who suffered for oure saluacion : descended into hell , role agayn the thyrd daye from the dead .

He ascended into heauen , he sitteth on the ryght hande of the father , God almyghtie : from whence he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead .

At whose comming all men shall ryse agayne with their bodyes : and shal geue accoumpt for theyr owne workes .

And they that haue done good , shall goe into life euerlasting : and they that haue done euill , into euerlasting fyre .

This is the Catholike faith : which except a man beleue faythfully , he can not be saued .

Glory bee to the father , and to the sonne : and to the holy gost .

As it was in the beginning , is nowe , and euer shall bee : world without ende . Amen .

¶ Thus endeth the ordre of Morning and Euening prayer , through the whole yeare .

¶ Here foloweth the Letany to be vsed vpon Sundaies , Wednesdaies , and Frydayes , and at other tymes , when it shal be commaunded by the Ordenarye .

O God the father of heauen : haue mercy vpon vs miserable synners .

O God the sonne , redemer of the worlde : haue mercy vpon vs miserable synners .

O God the holy gost , proceding from the father and the sonne : haue mercy vpon vs miserable synners .

O holy , blessed , and glorious Trinitie , three persons , and one God : haue mercy vpon vs miserable synners .

Good Lord deliuer vs .

By the mistery of thy holy incarnacion , by thy holy Natiuitie and Cyrcumcision , by thy Baptysme , fastyng , and temptacion .

Good Lord deliuer vs .

By thyne agony and bloudy sweat , by thy crosse & passion , by thy precious death & buriall , by thy glorious resurreccion and ascencion , and by the coming of the holy ghost .

Good Lord deliuer vs .

In all time of our tribulacion , in al time of our wealth , in the houre of death , and in the day of iudgement .

Good lord deliuer vs .

We sinners doe beseche thee to heare vs ( O Lord God ) and that it way please thee to rule and gouerne thy holye churche vniuersally , in the right way .
