Marke in the tenth Chapter AT a certaine time they brought children to Christ that he should touch them and his disciples rebuked those that bought them But when Iesus saw it hee was displeased and said vnto them Suffer little children to come vnto mee and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdome of God Verely I say vnto you whosoeuer doth not receiue the kingdome of God as a little childe hee shall not enter therein And when hee had taken them vp in his armes hee put his hands vpon them and blessed them After the Gospel is read the Minister shall make this briefe exhortation vpon the words of the Gospel FRiends you heare in this Gospel the words of our Sauiour Christ that hee commanded the children to be brought vnto him how hee blamed those that woulde haue kept them from him how he exhorteth all men to follow their innocencie You perceiue howe by his outward gestuce and deede he declare his good will toward them for he imbraced them in his armes he laid his handes vpon them and blessed them Doubt ye not therefore but earnestly beleeue that he will like wise fauourably receiue these Present infants that he will imbrace them with the armes of his mercy that he will giue vnto them the blessing of eternall life and make them partakers of his euerlasting kingdome Wherefore we being thus perswaded of the good will of our heauenly Father toward these infants declared by his sonne Iesus Christ and nothing doubting but that he fauourably alloweth this charitable worke of ours in bringing the children to his holy baptisme let vs faithfully and deuoutly giue thankes vnto him and say ALmightie and euerlasting God heauenly Father wee giue thee humble thankes that thou hast vouchsafed to call vs to the knowledge of thy grace and faith in thee Encrease this knowledge and confirme this faith in vs euermore Giue thy holy spirit to these infants that they may bee borne againe and be made heires of euerlasting saluation through our Lord Iesus Christ who liueth and reigneth with thee and the holy spirit now and for euer Amen Then the Priest shall speake vnto the Godfathers and Godmothers on this wise WElbeloued friends ye haue brought these children here to be baptized ye haue prayed that our Lord Iesus Christ would vouchsafe to receiue them to lay his handes vpon them to blesse them to release them of their sinnes to giue them the kingdome of heauen and euerlasting life Ye haue hear also that our Lord Iesus Christ hath promised in his Gospel to grant all these things that ye haue prayed for which promise he for his part will most sarely keepe and performe Wherefore after this promise made by Christ these infants must also faithfully for their part promise by you that be their sureties that they will forsake the deuill and all his workes and constantly be leeue Gods holy word and obediently keepe his commandements Then shall the Priest demaund of the Godfathers and Godmothers these questions following Doest thou forsake the deuill and all his works the vaine pompe and glory of the world with al eouetous desires of the same the carnall desires of the flesh so that thou wilt not folow nor be led by them Answere I forsake them all Minister Doest thou beleeue in God the Father almightie maker of heauen and earth And in Iesus Christ his onely begotten Sonne our Lord And that hee was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the virgin Mary that he susstreb vnder Pontius Pilate was crucified dead buried that he went downe into hell and also did rise againe the third day that he afrended into heauen and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almightie and from thence shall come againe at the end of the world to iudge the quicke and the dead And doest thou beleeue in the holy Ghost the holy Catholique Church the communion of Saintes the remission of sinnes the resurrection of the flesh and euerlasting life after death Answere All this I stedfastly beleeue Minister wilt thou be baptized in this faith Answere That is my desire Then shall the Priest say O Mercifull God graunt that the old Adam in these children may be so buried that the new man may be raised vp in them Amen Graunt that all carnall affections may dye in them and that all things belonging to the spirit may liue and grow in them Amen Grant that they may haue power and strength to haue victorie and to triumph against the deuil the world and the flesh Amen Grant that whosoeuer is here dedicated to thee by our office and ministerie may also bee indued with heauenly vertues
Curates shall diligently from time to time but specially in the plague time exhort their Parishioners to the oft receiuing in the Church of the holy Communion of the body and blood of our Sauiour Christ which if they doe they shal haue no cause in their sudden visitation to be vnquiet for lack of the same But if the sicke person be not able to come to the Church yet is desirous to receiue the Communion in his house then he must giue knowledge ouer night or else early in the morning to the Curate signifying also how many bee appointed to communicate with him And hauing a conuenient place in the sicke mans house where the Curate may reuerently minster and a good number to receiue the Communion with the sicke person with all things necessarie for the same hee shall there minister the holy Communion The Collect. ALmightie euerliuing God maker of mankinde which doest corect those whome thou doest loue and chastisest euery one whome thou doest receiue wee beseech thee to haue mercie vpon this thy seruant visited with thine hand and to graunt that hee may take his sickenesse patiently and recouer his bodily health if it bee thy gracious will and whensoeuer his soule shall depart from the body it may bee without spot presented vnto thee through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen The Epistle MY sonne Heb. 12. despise not the correction of the Lord neither faint when thou art rebuked of him for whom the Lord loueth him hee correcteth Yea and he scourgeth euery sonne whom he receiueth The Gospel VErely verely I say vnto you Hee that heareth my word Iohn 5. and beleeueth on him that sent mee hath euerlasting life and shall not come vnto damnation but hee passeth from death vnto life ¶ At the time of the distribution of the holy Sacrament the Priest shall first receiue the Communion himselfe and after minister vnto them that be appointed to communicate with the sicke ¶ But if a man either by reason of extremitie of sickenesse or for want of warning in due time to the Curate or for lacke of companie to receiue with him or by any other iust impediment doe not receiue the Sacrament of Christes body and blood then the Curate shall instruct him that if hce doe truely repent him of his sinnes and stedfastly beleeue that Iesus Christ hath suffered death vpon the Crosse for him and shed his blood for his redemption earnestly remembring the benefites he hath thereby and giuing him heartie thankes therefore he doth eate and drinke the body and blood of our Sauiour Chrift profitably to his soules health although he doe not receiue the Sacrament with his mouth ¶ When the sicke person is visited and receiueth the holy Communion all at one time then the Priest for more expedition shal cut off the forme of the visitation at the Psalme In thee O Lord haue I put my trust and goe straight to the Communion ¶ In the time of Plague Sweat or such other like contagious times of sicknesses or diseases when none of the Parish or neighbours can be gotten to communicate with the sicke in their houses for feare of the infection vpon speciall request of the diseased the Minister may alonely communicate with him ⧠The order for the buriall of the dead The Priest meeting the corps at the Church stile shall say or else the Priest and Clarkes shall sing and so goe either into the Church or towards the graue I Am the resurrection and the life faith the Lord.

When they come to the graue while the corps is made ready to bee layed into the earth the Priest shall say or the Priest and Clarkes shall sing MAn that is borne of a woman hath but a short time to liue Iob. 14. and is ful of meserie He commeth by and is cut downe like a flowre hee fleeth as it were a shadow and neuer continueth in one stay In the midst of life we be in death of whom may we seek for succour but of thee O Lord which for our sinnes iustly art displeased Yet O Lord God most holy O Lord most mightie O holy most mercifull Sauiour deliuer vs not into the bitter paines of eternall deatth Thou knowest Lord the secrets of our hearts shut not vp thy mercifull eyes to our prayers but spare vs Lord most holy O God most mightie O holy and mercifull Sauiour thou most worthie iudge eternall suffer vs not at our last houre for any paines of death to fall from thee Then while the earth shall be cast vpon the body by some standing by the Priest shall say FOrasmuch as it hath pleased almightie God of his great mercie to take vnto himselfe the soule of our deare brother here departed we therefore commit his body to the ground earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust in sure and certaine hope of resurrection to eternall life through our Lord Iesus Christ who shall change our vile body that it may bee like vnto his glorious body according to the mightie working whereby he is able to subdue all things to himselfe Then shall be said or sung I heard a voyce from heauen saying vnto mee write From hencefoorth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. Even so saith the spirit that they rest from their labours Then shall follow this Lesson taken out of the xv Chapter to the Corinthians the first Epistle CHrist is risen from the dead and become the first fruites of them that sleepe For by a man came death and by a man came the resurrection of the dead For as by Adam all die euen so by Christ shall all bee made aliue but euery man in his owne order The first is Christ then they that are Christes at his comming Then commeth the ende when hee hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God the Father when he hath put downe all rule and all authoritie and power For he must reigne till he haue put al his enemies vnder his feete The last enemie that shall be destroyed is death For hee hath put all things vnder his feete But when hee saith All things are put vnder him it is manifest that he is excepted that hath put all things vnder him When all things are subdued vnto him then shall the Sonne
also himselfe bee subject vnto him that put all things vnder him that God may be all in all Else what doe they which are baptized ouer the dead if the dead rise not at all Why are they then baptized ouer them yea and why stand we alway then in ieopardie By our reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesu our Lord I die dayly That I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men what aduantageth it mee if the dead rise not againe Let vs eate and drinke for tomorow wee shall die Bee not yee deceiued euill words corrupt good maners Awake truely out of sleepe and sinne not For some haue not the knowledge of God I speake this to your shame But some man will say How arise the dead With what body shall they come Thou foole that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die And what sowest thou Thou sowest not that body that shall bee but bare corne as of wheat or some other but God giueth it a body at his pleasure to euery seed his owne body All flesh is not one maner of flesh but there is one maner of flesh of men another maner of flesh of beastes another of fishes another of birdes There are also celestiall bodies and there are bodies terrestriall But the glorie of the celestiall is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another There is one maner glorie of the Sunne and another glorie of the Moone and another glorie of the Starres For one Starre differeth from another in glorie So is the resurrection of the dead It is sowen in corruption it riseth againe in incorruption It is sowen in dishonour it riseth againe in honour It is sowen in weaknesse it riseth againe in power It is sowen a naturall bodie it riseth againe a spirituall body There is a naturall bodie and there is a spirituall bodie As it is also written The first man Adam was made a liuing soule and the last Adam was made a quickening spirite Howbeit that is not first which is spirituall but that which is naturall and then that which is spirituall The first man is of the earth earthie The second man is the Lord from heauen heauenly As is the earthie such are they that be earthy And as is the heauenly such are they that are heauenly And as wee haue borne the image of the earthie so shall wee beare the image of the heauenly This say I brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption Behold I shew you a mystery we shal not all sleepe but we shall all be changed and that in a moment in the twinckling of an eye by the last trumpe For the trumpe shall blow and the dead shall rife incorruptible and we shall bee changed For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortall must put on immortality When this corruptible hath put on incorruption and this mortall hath put on immortalitie then shall be brougt to passe the saying that is written Death is swallowed vp into victory Death where is thy sting Hell where is thy victorie The sting of death is sinne and the strength of sinne is the law But thankes be vnto God which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lorde Iesus Christ Therefore my deare brethren bee yee stedfast and vnmooueable alwayes rich in the worke of the Lorde forasmuch as yee know how that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord. The Lesson ended the priest shall say Lord haue mercie vpon vs. Christ haue mercy vpon vs. Lord haue mercy vpon vs. ¶ Our Father which art in heauen c.

My helpe commeth euen from the Lord which hath made heauen and earth Hee will not suffer thy foote to bee mooued and he that keepeth thee will not sleepe Behold hee that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleepe The Lord himselfe is thy keeper the Lord is thy defence vpon thy right hand So that the Sunne shall not burne thee by day nor the Moone by night The Lord shall preserue thee from all euill yea it is euen he that shall keepe thy soule The Lord shall preserue thy going out and thy comming in from this time forth for euermore Glorie be to the Father and to the Sonne c.
