The sea is his, and he made it : and his hands prepared the dry Land.

O come, let vs worship, and fall downe : and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is the Lord our God : and we are the people of his pasture and the sheepe of his hand. To day if ye will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts : as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness.

When your fathers tempted mee : proved me and saw my works.

Forty yeares long was I grieved with this generation and said : it is a people that do erre in their hearts, for they have not known my wayes.

Vnto whom I sware in my wrath : that they should not enter into my rest.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

„ ¶ Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they be appointed. And at the end of every Psalm throughout the yeare, and likewise in the end of Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc dimittis shall be repeated.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the holy Ghost.

Answer.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

„ ¶ Then shall be read distinctly with an audible voice, the first Lesson, taken out of the old Testament as is appointed in the Kalender. 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 after that, shall be said or sung in English, the Hymn called Te Deum laudamus, daily throughout the yeare.
