shal begin the Communion and after the Gospel shal be said a sermon wherein ordinarely so oft as there is any mariage thoffice of a man wyfe shal be declared according to holy scripture or yf there be no sermon the Minister shall reade thys that foloweth Al ye which be maryed or which entende to take the holy estate of matrimonie vpon you heare what holy scripture doeth say as touching the duetie of husbandes toward their wiues and wiues toward their husbandes Saincte Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians the fifth Chapiter doeth geue thys commaundemente to all maryed men Ye husbandes loue your wiues euen as Christe loued the church hath geuen himselfe for it to sanctifie it pourging it in the fountayne of water throughe thy worde that he might make it vnto himselfe a glorious congregacion not hauing spotte or wrinkel or any suche thyng but that it should be holy blameles So men are bound to loue their owne wyues as theyr own bodyes He that loueth his own wyfe loueth himfelse For neuer dyd any man hate his own fleshe but nourisheth and cherisheth it euen as the lord doth the congregacion for we are membres of his bodye of hys fleshe and of hys bones For thys cause shal a man leaue father and mother and shall bee ioyned vnto hys wife and they two shall bee one fleshe This misterie is great but I speake of Chryste and of the congregaciō Neuertheles let euery one of you so loue hys own wyfe euen as hymselfe Lykewyse thesame sainct Paul writing to the Colossians speaketh thus to al men that be maried Colo. iiii Ye men loue your wyues and be not bitter vnto them Heare also what Sainct Peter the Apostle of Chryste which was himselfe a maried man sayeth vnto al mē that are maryed i. pete iii Ye husbandes dwel with your wyues according to knowledge Geuing honoure vnto the wife as vnto the weaker vessell and as heyres together of the grace of lyfe so that your prayers be not hyndered Hertherto ye haue heard the duetie of the husband toward the wife Now lykewyse ye wiues heare learne your duetie towardes your husbandes euen as it is playnely set forth in holy scripture SAincte Paule in the forenamed Epistle to the Ephesians teacheth you thus Ephesi v Ye women submit youre selues vnto your owne husbandes as vnto the lord for the husbande is the wyues head euē as Christ is the head of the Church And he is also the sauioure of the whole bodye Therefore as the church or congregacion is subiect vnto Christe so likewise let the wiues also be in subiecciō vnto their own husbandes in all thinges And agayne he saieth Let the wife reuerence her husband And in his Epistle to the Collossians Sayncte Paul geueth you this short Lesson Colos iii Ye wiues submit youre selues vnto your own husbandes as it is conuenient in the Lorde SAinct Peter also doeth instructe you very godly thus saying i. pete iii. Let wiues bee subiecte to their owne husbandes so that yf any obey not the worde they may be wonne without the worde by the conuersacion of the wiues while they behold your chast conuersacion coupled with feare wbose apparell lette it not bee outward with broided heere and trimming about with golde either in putting on of gorgeous apparel but let the hid mā whiche is in the heart be without al corrupcyon so that the spirite be milde and quiet which is a precious thing in the sight of god For after this maner in the olde time dyd the holy womē which trusted in god apparel themselues being subiect to their own husbandes as Sara obeyed Ibraham calling hym Lorde whose daughters ye are made doyng well and being not dismaide with any feare ¶ The new maried persons thesame day of their mariage must receiue the holy Communion ¶ The ordre for the visitacion of the sicke The Priest entering into the sicke persons house shall saye Peace be in this house and to all that dwell in it When he commeth into the sicke mans presence he shall saye knelyng downe REmembre not lord our iniquities nor the iniquities of our forefathers Spare vs good Lorde spare thy people whom thou hast redemed with thy moste precious bloud and be not angry with vs for euer Lorde haue mercy vpon vs. Christe haue mercy vpon vs. Lorde haue mercy vpon vs. ¶ Our father which art in heauen c And leade vs not into temptacion Aunswere But deliuer vs from euill Amen Minister O Lorde saue thy seruaunte Aunswere Whiche putteth his trust in thee Minister Sende hym helpe from thy holy place Aunswere And euermore mightely defende hym Minister Let the enemy haue none aduauntage of hym Aunswere Nor the wicked approche to hurt hym Minister Be vnto hym O Lorde a strong towre Aunswere From the face of his enemie Minister Lorde heare our prayers Aunswere And let our crye come vnto thee The Minister O Lord loke downe from heauen behold visite and releue this thy seruaunt Loke vpon him with the eyes of thy mercy geue him comfort and sure confydence in thee Defende him from the daunger of the enemy and kepe hym in perpetuall peace and safetye through Iesus Christ our Lorde Amen HEare vs almightie and most merciful god and sauioure Extende thy accustomed goodnes to thys thy seruaunt which is grieued with sickenes Visite hym O Lorde as thou diddest visite Peters wiues mother and the Captaines seruaunt So visite and restore vnto this sicke person his former health yf it be thy wyl or els geue him grace so to take thy visitacion that after this painful life ended he may dwel with thee in lyfe euerlasting Amen Then shall the Minister exhorte the sicke person after thys fourme or other lyke DErely beloued know thys that almightie God is the Lord of life and death and ouer all thinges to them perteining as youth strength health age weakenes and sickenesse Wherefore whatsoeuer your sickenes is know you certainly that it is gods visitacyon And for what cause soeuer thys syckenes is sente vnto you whether it bee to trie youre pacience for the example of other and that your fayth maye be founde in the daye of the Lorde laudable glorious honourable to the encrease of glorye endles felicitie Or els it be sente vnto you to correcte and amend in you whatsoeuer doeth offend the eies of our heauenly father know you certaynly that yf you truely repente you of your sinnes and beare your sickenesse paciently trustyng in Goddes mercy for his dere sonne Iesus Christes sake and rendre vnto him humble thākes for his fatherly visitaciō submitting your selfe wholy to his will it shall turne to your profite and helpe you foreward in the right way that leadeth vnto euerlasting life ¶ If the person visited be very sicke then the Curate may ende his exhortacion in this place ¶ Take therefore in good woorth the chastement of the Lorde For whom the Lorde loueth
be chastiseth Yea as Sainct Paul sayth he scourgeth euery sōne whiche he receiueth if you indure chastisement he offereth hymself vnto you as vnto his own children What sonne is he that the father chastiseth not Yf ye be not vnder correccion wherof al true children are partakers then are ye bastardes not childrē Therfore seing that when our carnall fathers doe correct vs we reuerently obey thē shal we not nowe muche rather be obedient to our spirituall father and so lyue And they for a fewe dayes doe chastice vs after their own pleasure but he dooeth chastice vs for our profite to the intent he may make vs partakers of his holines These wordes good brother are Gods wordes writtē in holy scripture for our comfort instruccion that we should paciently and with thankesgeuing beare our

vnto Christ by suffering paciently aduersities troubles sickenesses For he himselfe went not vp to ioye but first he suffered payne he entred not into his glory beefore he was crucified So truelye our waye to eternall ioye is to suffre here with Christe our doore to entre into eternall life is gladly to dye with Christe that we maye rise agayne from death dwell with him in euerlasting lyfe Now therfore taking your sickenes which is thus profitable for you paciently I exhort you in the name of God to remembre the profession which you made vnto God in youre Baptisme And forasmuche as after this life there is accoumpt to be geuen vnto the righteous iudge of whō all must be iudged withoute respecte of persones I require you to examine your self your state both towarde God and man so that accusing and condemning your self for your owne faultes you may find mercy at our heauēly fathers hand for Christes sake and not be accused and condemned in that fearefull iudgement Therfore I shall shortly rehearse the articles of our fayth that ye may knowe whether you doe belieue as a christian man should or no. ¶ Here the Minister shall rehearse the Articles of the fayth saying thus ¶ Doest thou belieue in God the father almightie And so furth as it is in Baptisme ¶ Then shal the Minister examine whether he be in charitie with al the worlde Exhorting him to forgeue from the bottome of his heart all persones that haue offended him and if he haue offended other to aske them forgeuenesse And where he hath doone iniurie or wrong to any man that he make amēdes to the vttermost of his power And if he haue not afore disposed his goodes let hym than make his will But men must be oft admonyshed that they set an ordre for their tēporal goodes and landes whā they be in health And also declare his debtes what he oweth and what is owyng vnto hym for dischargeing of his conscience and quietnes of his executours These woordes before rehearsed may be sayde before the Minister beginne his prayer as he shall see cause The Minister may not forgeat nor omitte to moue the sicke person and that most earnestly to liberalitie toward the poore Here shal the sicke person make a speciall confession if he fele his conscience troubled with any weighty matter After whiche confession the Priest shall absolue him after this sort OVr Lord Iesus Christe who hath left power to his churche to absolue all sinners which truelye repent and beleue in him of his great mercye forgeue thee thyne offences and by hys auctoritie committed to me I absolue thee from all thy sinnes in the name of the
