Formine eyes haue seene thy saluation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people Lo be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel Glory be the father and to the Some c As it was in the beginning is now c Or else this Psalme GOd be mercifull vnto bs and blesse vs and shew vs the light of his countenance and be mercifull vnto vs. D 〈◊〉 That thy way may bee knowen vpon earth thy sauing health among all nations Let the people prayse thee O God yea let all the people praise thee O let the nations reioice and be glad for thou shalt iudge the folke righteously and gouerne the nations vpon earth Let the people prayse thee O God let all the people praise thee Then shall the earth bring foorth her increase and God euen our owne God shall giue vs his blessing God shall blesse vs and all the endes of the worlde shall fearee him Glory be to the father and to the Sonne and to the holy Ghost As it was in the beginning is now and euer shal be world without ende Amen Then shall follow the Creede with other prayers as is before appointed at Morning prayer after Benedictus and with three Collects First of the day The second for peace The third for aide against all perils as hereafter followeth which two last Collects shal be dayly sayd at Euening prayer without alteration The second Collect at Euening prayer O God from whome all holy desires all good counsailes and all iust workes doe proceede giue vnto thy seruants that both our hearts may world cannot giue that both our hearts may bee set to obey thy commandements and also that by thee we being defended from the feare of our enemies may passe our time in rest and quitenessc through the merits of Iesus Christ our Sauiour Amen The third Collect for ayde against all perils LIghten our darkenesse we beseech thee O Lord and by thy great mercie defend vs from all perils and dangers of this night for the loue of thy onely sonne our Sauiour Iesus Christ Amen In then feasts of Christmas the Epiphanie Saint Matthie Easter the Ascension Pentecost Saint Iohn Baptist Saint lames Saint Bartholomew Saint Matthew Saint Simon Iude Saint Andrew and Trinity Sunday shal be sung or said immediately after Benedictus this confession of our Christian faith Quicunque vult WHosoeuer will be saued before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholike faith Quicunque vult Which faith except euery one do keepe holy and bndefiled without doubt hee shall perish euerlastingly And the Catholike faith is this that we worship one God in trinitie and trinitie in vnitie Neither confounding the persons nor diuiding the substance For there is one person of the Father another of the Sonne and another of the holy Ghost But the godhead of the Father of the Sonne of the holy Ghost is all one the glory equall the maiestie coeternall Such as the Father is such is the Sonne and such is the holy Ghost The Father vncreate the Sonne vncreate and the holy Ghost vncreate The Father incomprehensible the Sonne incomprehensible and the holy Ghost incomprehensible The Father eternall the Sonne eternall and the holy Ghost eternall And yet they are not three eternals but one eternall As also there be not three incomprehensibles nor three vncreated but one vucreated and one incomprehensible So like wise the Father is almighty the Sonne almighty and the holy Ghost almighty And yet they are not three almighties but one almighty So the Father is God the Sonne is God and the holy Ghost is God And yet they are not three Gods but one God So like wise the Father is Lord the Sonne Lord and the holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords but one Lord. For like as we be compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge euery person by himselfe to be God and Lord. So are wee forbidden by the Catholique Religion to say there be three Gods or three Lords 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 neither made nor created nor begotten but proceeding So three is one Father not three fathers one Sonne not three sonnes one holy Ghost not three holy ghost And in this Trinitie none is afore or after other none is greater or lesse then another But the whole three persons bee coeternall together and cocquall So that in all things as is aforesaid the Vnitie in Trinitic and the Trintie in Vnitie is to be worshipped Hee therefore that will bee saued must thus thinke of the Trinitie Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting saluation that he also beleeue rigthtly in the incarnation of our Lord Iesus Christ For the right faith is that wee beleeue and confesse that our Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne 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 borne in the world Perfect God and perfect man of a reasonable soule and humane flesh subsisting Equall to the Father as touching his godhead and inferior to the Father touching his manhood 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 substance but by vnitie of person For as the reasonable soule and flesh is one man so God and man is one Christ Who suffered for our saluation descended into hell rose againe the third day from the dead He ascended into heauen he sitteth on the right hand of the Father God Almighty from whence he shalll come to iudge the quicke and the dead At whose comming all men shall rise againe with their bodies and shall giue accompt for their owne workes And they that haue done good shall goe into life
and thereto haue giuen and pledged their troth either to other and haue declared the same by giuing and receiuing of a Ring and by ioyning of hands I pronounce that they be man and wife together In the name of the Father of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost Amen And the Minister shall adde this blessing GOD the Father God the Sonne God the holy Ghost blesse preserue and keepe you the Lorde mercifully with his fauour looke vpon you and so fill you with all spirituall benediction and grace that you may so liue together in this life that in the worlde to come you may haue life euerlasting Amen Then the Minister or Clearkes going to the Lords table shall say or sing this Psalme following BLessed are al they that feare the Lord and walke in his wayes Beari omnes Psal 128. For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands O well is thee and happy shalt thou be Thy wife shal be as the fruitfull Vine vpon the walles of thy house Thy children like the Oliue branches round about thy table Loe thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord from out of Sion shall so blesse thee that thou shall see Hierusalem in prosperitie all thy life long Yea that thou shalt see thy childrens children and peace vpon Israel Glory be to the Father and to the Sonne and to the holy Ghost As it was in the beginning is now and euer shal be world without ende Amen Or this Psalme GOD be merciful vnto vs Deus misereatur Psal 67 and blesse vs and shew vs the light of his countenance and be mercifull vnto vs. That thy way may be knowen vpon the earth thy sauing health among all nations Let the people prayse thee O God yea let all the people prayse thee O let the nations reioyce and be glad for thou shalt iudge the folke righteously gouerne the nations vpon the earth Let the people praise thee O God let all the people praise thee Then shall the earth bring foorth her increase and God men our olvne God shall giue vs his blessing God shal blesse vs and all the ends of the world shal feare him Glory be to the Father c. As it was in the beginning c. The Psalme ended and the man and the woman kneeling afore the Lordes Table the Priest standing at the Table and turning his face toward them shall say Lord haue mercie vpon vs. Answere Christ haue merry vpon vs. Minister Lord haue mercie vpon vs. ¶ Our Father which art in heauen c. And leade vs not into tempatation Answere But deliuer vs from euill Amen Minister O Lord saue thy seruant and thy handmaid Answere Which put their trust in thee Minister O Lord send them helpe from thy holy place Answere And euermore defend them Minister Be vnto them a towre of strength Answere From the face of their enemie Minister O Lord heare our prayer Answere And let our crie come vnto thee Minister O God of Abraham God of Isaac God of Iacob blesse these thy seruants and sow the seede of eternall life in their mindes that whatsoeuer in thy holy worde they shall profitably learne they may in deede fulfill the same Looke O Lord mercifully vpon them from heauen and blesse them And as thou diddest send thy blessing vpon Abraham and Sara to their great comfort So vouchsase to send thy blessing vpon these thy seruants that they obeying thy will and alway being in safetie vnder protection may abide in thy loue vnto their liues ende through Iesus Christ ou Lord. Amen This prayer next following shall be omitted where the woman is past childe birth O Mercifull Lord and heauenly Father by whose gracious gift mankinde is increased we beseech thee assist with thy blessing these two persons that they may both bee fruitfull in procreation of children and also liue together so long in godly loue and honestie that they may see their childrens children vnto the thirde and fourth generation vnto thy prayse and honour through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen O God which by thy mighty power hast made all things of nought which also after other things set in order didst appoint that one of man created after thine owne image sinulitude woman should take her beginning and knitting them together didst teach that it should neuer bee lawfull to put asvnder those whom thou by Matrimonie hadst made one O God which hast consecrated the state of Matrimonie to sush and excellent my sterie that in it is signified represented the spirtuall marriage vnitie betlvixt Christ and his Church Looke mercifully vpon these thy seruants that both this man may loue his wife according to thy worde as Christ did loue his spouse the Church who gaue himselfe for it louing cherishing it euen as his owne flesh and also that this woman may be louing and amiable to her husband as Rachel wise as Rebecca faithful and obedient as Sara and in all quietnesse sobrietie peace be a follower of holy and godly matrons O Lord blesse them both and grant them to inharite thy euerlasting kingdome through Iesus Chraist our Lord. Amen Then shall the Priest say ALmighty God which at the beginning did create our first parents Adam and Eue and did sanctifie and ioyne them together in marriage powre vpon you the riches of his grace sanctifie and blesse you that yee may please him both in body and soule and liue together in holy loue vnto your liues end Amen Then shal begin the Communion And after the Gospel shal be said a Sermon wherein ordinarily so oft as there is any mariage the office of a man and wife shall bee declared according to holy Scripture Or if there bee no Sermon the Minister shall reade this that followeth ALl yee which be married or which intend to take the holy estate of Matrimonie vpon you heare what holy Scripture doeth say as touching the duetie of husbandes towards their wiues and wiues towards their husbands Saint Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians the fift Chapter doeth giue this commandement to all married men Yee husbands loue your wiues euen as Christ loued the Church and hath giuen himselfe for it to sanctfie it purging it in the fountaine of water through the worde that he might make it vnto himselfe a glorious congregation not hauing spot or wrinckle or any such thing but that it should bee holy and blamelesse So men are bound to loue their owne wiues as their owne bodies He that loueth his owne wife loueth himselfe For neuer did any man hate his owne flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it euen as the Lord doeth the congregation for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones For this cause shall a man leaue father mother and shall be ioyned vnto his wife and they two shall be one flesh This mysterie is great but I speake of Christ and of the congregation Neuerthelesse let euery
