And at the end of euery Psalme throughout the yeere, and likewise in the end of Benedictus, Benedicite, Magnisicat, and Nunc dimittis, shalbe repeated, Glory be to the Father, &c, As it was in the, &c.

Then shall be read two Lessons distinctly with a lowd voyce, that the people may heare. The first, of the old Testament. The second of the New, like as they bee appointed in the Kalender, except there be proper Lessons assigned for that day: the Minister that readeth the Lesson, standing, and turning him so, as hee may best beheard of all such as be present. And before euery Lesson, the Minister shall say thus, The first, second, third, or fourth Chapter of Genesis, or Exodus, Matthew, Marke, or other like, as is appointed in the Kalender. And in the end of euery Chapter hee shall say, Here endeth such a Chapter of such & booke.

And to the end the people may the better heare in such places where they do sing, there shal the Lessons be song in a plaine tune, after the maner of distinct reading: and likewise the Epistle & Gospel.
