[The following Table does not appear in the First Prayer-Book of Edward VI.] ¶ When ye have found the SUNDAY LETTER in the uppermost line, guide your eye downward from the same, till ye come right over against the Prime; and there is shewed both what Month, and what Day of the Month, Easter falleth that year. Scotch Liturgy, 1637. TO FIND EASTER FOR EVER. [Same as 1604.] [Note. In some editions, e.g. of 1607, 1627, and 1631, a note is introduced here concerning the "Golden Number."] Charles II. 1662. TO FIND EASTER FOR EVER. [Same as 1604, but to end of note is added] But note, that the name of the Month is set at the left hand, or else just with the Figure, and fol loweth not, as in other tables by descent, but collateral. [In the following Kalendar it has not been thought necessary to print after each month the Tables of Lessons. They are given with the First Book of Edward VI., which is copied exactly as to arrangement from the originals, except that Arabic numerals (for the sake of the less space they occupy) are used instead of Roman numerals. The Variations of the Lessons in the successive editions are noted at the foot of each month thus printed. On the opposite page the variations of the Calendar, in each of the five editions, are given, except that for the sake of symmetry, and because the variations are so slight, the editions of 1552 and 1559 are combined in one column. The few additions made in the latter of the two are given within brackets. It has been found difficult in so small a page, and has not been thought necessary, to repeat the full head-lines through the five successive editions; but an example of the variations for the month of January is here given.) Second Edward VI. 1552, and Elizabeth, 1559. January hath xxxi. Bays. Variation of the Lessons in successive Editions. The eds. of 1552 and 1559 follow the 1549 throughout. The eds. of 1604, &c., follow 1549 to the 7th day, when Gen. 11 is omitted, and on the 19th day, Gen. 36 is omitted; but on the 25th, Proper Lessons for the Conversion of S. Paul [Wisdom, caps. 5 and 6] are interpolated, so that the Lessons for the 26th day are as before. The 6th chapter of Exodus is, however, omitted on the 30th, so that the month ends with Exodus, caps. 9 and 10. The Scotch ed. of 1637 follows 1549 till the 24th, when Gen. 26 is omitted; but the two Proper Lessons for the Conversion of S. Paul being interpolated, the month ends, Exodus, caps. 7 and 8. The ed. of 1662 follows 1604 in omitting Gen. 11 and 26, and insertion of Proper Lessons for Conversion of S. Paul. A portion, however, of Exodus, cap. 6, is retained [i.e. to v. 14] so that the month ends as in 1549. The Second Lessons are throughout the six editions the same. JANUARY HATH XXXI. DAYS. Second Edw.

The Lessons are printed here in each of the Prayer-Books similar in style to 1549. Variation of the Lessons The eds. of 1552 and 1559 follow 1549 throughout. The eds. of 1604 begin with Exodus 11 and 12, and interpolate Wisdom, caps. 9 and 12, for "the Purification." Later on, in order, Exodus, caps. 35 and 40, are omitted. Then Leviticus, cap. 26, inserted; then Numbers, caps. 10, 15, 18, 19, 26, 28, 29, 33, and 34, omitted. To make up for the excess [9] of omission of chapters over insertions, Deuteronomy, caps. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15 are added at the end; and Wisdom 19 and Ecclesiasticus 1 are interpolated for S. Matthias' Day. The Scotch ed. of 1637, beginning with Exodus, caps. 9 and 10, interpolates Wisdom, caps. 4 and 6, for "the Purification," and also for the 12th day a part of Leviticus, cap, 9 [i.e. ver. 22 to ver. 12 of cap. 10]; and for the 13th, caps. 12 and 16. Later on, Leviticus, caps. 21, 23, 24, 25 [i.e. from ver. 35], 26, and in successive Editions. 27; also Numbers, caps. 5, 6, 8, and 9, are interpolated. On the other hand, Numbers, caps. 18, 19, and 26, are omitted; so that on the last day (the 28th) we have Numbers, caps. 30 and 31. The ed. of 1662 begins the same as the first three Books, viz. Exodus, caps. 10 and II. It then leaves a space for two Lessons for the Purification, and omits Exod. 35 and 40 (so that for the 11th and 12th days the Lessons are the same as in 1549, &c.) It next omits Numbers, caps. 15, 18, 19, 26, 28, 29, 33, and 34, supplying the deficiency by adding Deut., caps. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, and leaving a space for Proper Lessons for S. Matthias' Day. For the 29th, two extra Lessons are provided by Deut., caps. 13 and 14. The Second Lessons are throughout the six editions the same, but in the ed. of 1662, two lessons for the 29th are added, viz. Matt. 7 and Rom. 12. |
