mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself I commend this soul to God the Father Almighty and thy Body to the ground c.

These Psalms with other suffrages following are to be said in the Church either before or after the burial of the Corps I am well pleased that the Lord c. Psal. 116. Glory to the Father c.

Glory be to the Father c. As it was in the beginning c. Then shall follow this Lesson taken out of the 15 Chapter to the Corinthians the first Epistle CHrist is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept For by a man came death and by a man came the resurrection of the dead For as by Adam all die even so by Christ shall all be made alive but every man in his own order The first is Christ then they that are Christs at his coming Then cometh the end when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the Father when he hath put down all rule and all authority and power For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death For he hath put all things under his feet But when he saith All things are put under him it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things under him When all things are subdued unto him then shall the son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him that God may be all in all Else what do they which are baptized over the dead if the dead rise not at all Why are they then baptized over them yea and why stand we alway then in jeopardy By our rejoycing which I have in Christ Jesu our Lord I die daily That I have fought with beasts at Ephesus after the maner of men what advantageth it me if the dead rise not again Let us eat and drink for to morrow we shall die Be not ye deceived evil words corrupt good maners Awake truly out of sleep and sin not For some have not the knowledge of God I speak this to your shame But some man will say How arise the dead With what body shall they come Thou fool that which thou sowest is not quickned except it die And what sowest thou thou sowest not that body that shall be but bare corn as of wheat or some other But God giveth it a body at his pleasure to every seed his own body All flesh is not one maner of flesh but there is one maner of flesh of men another maner of flesh of beasts another of fishes another of birds There are also celestial bodies and there are bodies terrestrial But the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another There is one maner glory of the sun another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars For one star differeth from another in glory So is the resurrection of the dead It is sown in corruption it riseth again in incorruption it is sown in dishonor it riseth again in honor it is sown in weakness it riseth again in power it is sown a natural body it riseth again a spiritual body There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body as it is also written The first man Adam was made a li●ing soul and the last Adam was made a quickning spirit Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and then that which is spiritual The first man is of the earth earthy The second man is the Lord from Heaven heavenly As is the earthy such are they that be earthy And as is the heavenly such are they that are heavenly And as we have born the image of the earthy so shall we bear the image of the heavenly This say I brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption Behold I shew you a mystery We shall not all sleep but we shall be changed and that in a moment in the twinckling of an eye by the last trump For the trump shall blow and the dead shall rise incorruptible and we shall be changed For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality When this corruptible hath put on incorruption and this mortal hath put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written Death is swallowen up Into victory Death where is thy sting Hell where is thy victory The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law but thanks be unto God which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore my dear brethren be ye stedfast and unmoveable always rich in the work of the Lord forasmuch as ye know how that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

the Practice so and have heard it hath been positively enjoyned by a Learned Bishop and great Ceremonialist that Evening Prayer should begin with the Lords-Prayer But the rule of the Church is express to the contrary for in the Rubrique before Morning Prayer it is ordered thus At the beginning both of Morning Prayer and likewise of Evening Prayer note that the Minister shall read with a lowd voice some one of these Sentences that follow c. So that clearly the Sentences Exhortation Confession and Absolution must begin the Evening as well as the Morning Prayer Page 99. line 49. after these words it is anoient add This Creed was formerly appropriated to high Festivals onely but that by repeating it every month it might become the more familiar to the People these daies of the Apostles and St. John Baptist were inserted Page 157. at the end of the Paragraph W. add thus In the Latin Translation of our Liturgy Anno 2. Eliz. I find a Collect for St. Andrew different from the English which I shall here set down Omnipotens Deus qui dedisti beato Andreae Apostolo tuo ut acerbam ignominiosam crucis mortem duceret sibi pro magna gl●ria Tribue ut omnia nobis adversa pro nonomine tuo ducamus prefitura ad aeternam vitam conducibilîa per Christum Dominum nostnum Almighty God who didst give to thy holy Apostle S. Andrew to account it his great glory to suffer the bitten and ignominious death of the Cross. Grant unto us that what we endure for thy sake we may also esteem profitable and conducible to eternal life through Jesus Christ. Page 177. line 17. after these words violation of them add thus Though true it is the contriving of the Decalogue into a way so edifying towards Piety and making it parcel of Gods Publique Worship be a peculiar of our Church yet somewhat not much unlike it is to be found in that Manual of Prayers composed by Gilbertus Cognatus for the private use of his Kinsman about the year 1553. whose words I shall here set down Having recited the Decalogue he then subjoyneth Hic nos praemit aeterna mors O Deus hic futurum justum judicium tuum commeritam nostram condemnationem Sed hic miserere nostri O Jesu Christe ne pereamus Tu quoque O Sancte Spiritus inscribe hanc legem cordibus nostris ut secundam eam alacri animo ambulemus teque revereamus diebus vitae nostrae universis Amen Here O Lord we ly ●bnoxious to eternal death Here we can expect nothing but the most just sentence to come upon us and our deserved condemnation But here O Jesu Christ have mercy upon us least we perish And then O Holy Ghost write this Law in our hearts we beseech thee that we may walk conformable to it and that we may reverence thee all the daies of our life Amen In stead of the form of Bidding of Prayers set down Page 181. give me leave to commend unto you that which followeth being sent me by a learned Friend from Cambridge with his Scholler-like address which will spare me the pains of any further Preface The Transcriber To the Perusers of the follwing Transcript I think it may well be named Instructions for the Laity'● Devotions but as I met with no Rubrick nor title in the Copy so I count it modesty 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and to refer my self to better judgements I found it written in a Court-hand indifferently fair and legible though full of abreviations but because I am not at all exercised in the Calligraphy of that hand I have transcribed it in the same which I use in my private studies with a great exactness of letters and syllables though not of the character Thus much I thought good ●o intimate that in a piece of this rarity there might not be any suspition of a counterfeited record or the faithfulness of the transcriber be called in question For indee● as I cannot but commend that pious design of the noble Author in honour of our famous though now distracted Church of England So I must needs glory that I am any ways instrumental to the producing of that which may prove so serviceable however of so great antiquity In testimony of which I desire it may be lawfull to produce my own conjectures I am conscious to how skilfull hands this paper may come and therefore the more willingly produce them Since they may carry a torch for those judicious eyes whose honour will be augmented by the discovery They were wrote upon a spare parchment before the summs of Guilielmus de Pag●a extant in the University-Library of Cambridge which notwithstanding are not there so well known by the Author's name as by that of their title which is Dextra pars oculi sacerdotum sinistra This I mentioned the rather because from hence some small light may haply arise to the true time of their original antiquity For since the fore-named Author both b● the testimony of reverend ∴ Bale in his Centuries and the learned Pits in his Catalogue of English writers is to be reckoned in the thirteenth Century after Christ I see not how we can with reason suppose this to be ancienter except we object its transcription thither for an older copy Somewhat indeed it may be that in those daies they had not parchment so rife or cheap as paper now in ours whereof they might compose their Adversaria but what ever their next reading or more deliberate judgement proposed as worthy of notice taking they commonly transcribed if my observation fail not upon those parchments the Book-binders had bestowed upon their books to defend them from the injury of the covers But this argument perchance is not so valid as that which may follow Wherefore I adjoyned that Constitution which bears the Rubrick of Dies festi since from that a greater light may accrue to what bears the precedency In that I find the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury who is otherwise nameless then by his title in the instructions for so I call them to be Christned Simon of which praenomen I find but four through the whole Catalogue of the Prelates of that S●e and all of them in the 14. Centurie current and if I mistake not within the compass of fifty years to wit Mepeham Langham Islip and Sudbur● who fell a Sacrifice to that Idol of the Clowns as Walsingham calls him Tyler To this later I should rather ascribe both the Instructions and that Constitution concerning Holy-dayes though indeed I have no other ground for the conjecture then my private fancy But from the same Major a stronger consequence will follow if it be backed with the testimony of that learned Knight Sir Henry Spelman in those Tomes for which whole Christendom stands indebted to him as well as England concerning the English Councils and besides him you may if you please at leys re see what William Linwood will afford
