establysshed whyche in contynuaunce of tyme hath not been corrupted as emong other thynges it may plainly appeare by the coÌ„mon prayers in the Churche coÌ„monly 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 enteÌ„dyng 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 wheÌ„ 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 tholde 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

tyme to tyme they perceiue to be most abused as in mens ordinaunces it often chaunceth dyuersely in dyuerse countreyes Â¶ 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 ParlameÌ„t for common prayer and administracioÌ„ of the Sacramentes to be vsed in the mother tongue within this Church of

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 commoÌ„ prayer adminystracion of the Sacramentes preachyng of the word of God is vsed

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
