TO BE READ

The Psalter shall be read through once every Month, as it is there

appointed, both for Morning and Evening Prayer. But in _February_

it shall be read only to the twenty-eighth, or twenty-ninth day of

the Month.

And, whereas _January_, _March_, _May_, _July_, _August_, _October_,

and _December_ have One-and-thirty days apiece; It is ordered,

that the same Psalms shall be read the last day of the said months,

which were read the day before: So that the Psalter may begin

again the first day of the next month ensuing.

And, whereas the 119th Psalm is divided into twenty-two portions,

and is over-long to be read at one time; It is so ordered, that

at one time shall not be read above four or five of the said

portions.

And at the end of every Psalm, and of every such part of the

119th Psalm, shall be repeated this Hymn,

_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._

Note, that the Psalter followeth the Division of the Hebrews,

and the Translation of the great English Bible, set forth and

used in the time of King Henry the Eighth, and Edward the Sixth.
