Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
.
I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholtc

of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the Life

P SALM 1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel
of the ungodly. nOf standeth in the way of sinners.
nor sittelh in the seat of the scornful.
2 J3ut his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in
his law doth he meditate day and night.
.) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers
of water. that bringeth forth his fruit in his season:
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he docth
shall prosper .
.1 T he ungodlv are not so: but aTe like the chaff
which the wind driveth away.
S Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
Judgment. nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
P SADI 15
t LORD. who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who
shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 lie that walketh uprightl~r, and worketh righteousness. and speaketh the tru th in his heart.
3 lie /110/ backbiteth not with his tongue. nor docth
evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but
he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that
sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
S lie tllal putteth not out his money to usury.
nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth
these things shall never be moved.

PSALM 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament sheweth his handvwork .
. 2 Day unto day uttercth' speech. and night unto
flight shewcth knowledge.
:~ 7~here is no speech nor language, ll'lrere their
vOice IS not heard.
4, Their line is gone out through all the earth, and
their words to the end of the world. In them hath he
set a tabernacle for the sun.
S Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his
chamber. alld rejoiceth as a strong man to run a
race.
6 Ilis going forth is from the end of the heaven,
and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing
hid from the heal thereof.
i The law,of the LORD is per~ect. converting the
soul: the teslimony of the LORD IS sure, making wise
the simple.
8 The statutes of the LonD are right. rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure. enlightening the eyes.
9 ~rhe fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
the Judgments of the LORD OTe true and righteous
altogether.
10 1\ lore to be desired are they than gold. yea, than
much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb,
'
11 Moreover by them is thv servant warned: and
in keeping of them titere is great reward,
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me
from secret falllts,
: 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous
SinS; let them not have dominion over me: then shall
I be upright. and I shall be innocent from the grcat
transgression.
14 Let thc words of m\' mouth. and the meditation
of my heart. be acceptable III thy sight. 0 LORD. m~'
