Instead of the foregoing Hymn, the following, with the Proper Preface, shall be said or sung by the Priest and People on all Lord's days, and on every day between Easter and Pentecost, on Monday and Tuesday in Whitsun-week, and on Christmasday.

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God.

Here shall follow the Proper Preface.

PROPER PREFACES.

Upon all Lord's days, except the Sunday after Ascension-day, and Whitsunday; and upon every day between Easter and Ascension-day.

:

BUT chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious Resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord for he is the very Paschal Lamb, which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath restored to us everlasting life. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon Ascension-day, and every day after till Whitsunday. THROUGH thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord: who after his most glorious Re

surrection, manifestly appeared to all his Apostles, and in their sight ascended up into heaven to prepare a place for us; that where he is, thither we might also ascend, and reign with him in glory. Therefore with Angels, &c.

Upon Whitsunday, and Monday and Tuesday in Whitsun-week. THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord: according to whose most true promise, the Holy Ghost came down as at this time from heaven with a sudden great sound, as it had been a mighty wind, in the likeness of fiery tongues, lighting upon the Apostles, to teach them, and to lead them to all truth, giving both the gift of divers languages, and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly to preach the Gospel unto all nations; whereby we have been brought out of darkness and error, into the clear light and true knowledge of thee and of thy Son Jesus Christ. Therefore with Angels,

&c.

Upon Christmas-day.

BECAUSE thou didst give Jesus Christ thine only Son, to be born as at this time for us: who by the operation of the Holy Ghost was made very man of the substance of the Virgin Mary his

mother, and that without spot of sin, to make us clean from all sin. Therefore with Angels, &c.

After the Preface shall follow:

THEREFORE With Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name, evermore praising thee, and saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts; heaven and earth are full of thy glory: glory be to thee, O Lord most High. Amen. Hallelujah.

Then shall be said or sung the Psalm following; except on Sundays, and every day between Easter and Pentecost.

Deus, Deus meus. Psal. lxiii.

O GOD, thou art my God, &c.

Glory be to the Father, &c.

As it was the beginning, &c. Amen.

On all Lord's days, and on every day between Easter and Pentecost, instead of the foregoing Psalm, shall be sung or said the following Anthem.

CHRIST our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast ;

Not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven

of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened

bread of sincerity and truth.

Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him :

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also youselves to be dead indeed unto sin: but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Christ is risen from the dead and become the first-fruits of them that slept.

For since by man came death: by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Glory be to the Father, &c. Hallelujah : As it was in the beginning, &c. Amen. lelujah.

Hal

Then shall be said or sung the Psalms in order as they are appointed, the Deacon first turning to the People, and saying, Such a Psalm, or Psalms, is, or are, appointed for this Morning, or Evening, Service.

After the Psalms, shall be read distinctly with an audible voice the first Lesson, as it is appointed in the Calendar, (except

there be Proper Lessons assigned for that day,) he that readeth, so standing and turning himself, as he may best be heard of all such as are present: and before every Lesson he shall say, Such a chapter, or chapters, or such a part of a chapter of such a book, is appointed for the first, or the second, Lesson for this Morning, or Evening, Service; and after every Lesson, Here endeth the first, or the second, Lesson.

After the first Lesson shall be sung or said, in English, the Hymn called Te Deum Laudamus, daily throughout the year; except all Saturdays but that next before Easter.

Te Deum laudamus.

WE praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting.

To thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the therein.

To thee Cherubin and Seraphin: continually

do cry,

Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth:

Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.

The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee;
