 Though it be appointed that all things shall be read and sung in the Church, in the english tongue, to the end that the congregation may be thereby edified: Yet it is not meant, but that when men say Morning and Evening Prayer privatly, they may say the same in any Language that they themselves do vnderstand.

And all Priests and Deacons are to say daily the Morning and Evening Prayer, either privatly, or openly, not being let by sickness or some other vrgent cause.

And the Curate that ministreth in every parish church or Chappel being at home, and not being otherwise reasonably hindred, shall say the same in the parish church or chappel where he ministreth, and shall cause a Bell to be tolled there vnto a convenient time before he begin; that the people may come to hear Gods word, and to pray with him.
