Variation of the Lessons The eds. of 1552 and 1559 follow 1549 throughout, except that on the 16th and five following days the same Morning Lesson is repeated in the evening, and so on each day. Caps. 10, 11, 12 follow rightly, but then the Lessons jump to cap. 20, as the Evening Lesson for the 24th, so restoring uniformity with 1549. The eds. of 1604, &c., begin with Deut. 16 and 17, and continue to the 34th chapter (as in 1549). Of Joshua, caps. 1 to 10 follow, caps. 11 to 22 are omitted, but caps. 23 and 24 are retained. Chapters 1 to 10 of Judges follow on (as in 1549), and to supply the eleven remaining days, we have Judges, caps. 11 to 21, the four chapters of Ruth, the five chapters of I. Samuel, besides Ecclesiasticus, caps. 2 and 3, interpolated for the Feast of the Annunciation. The Scotch ed. of 1637 begins with three in successive Editions. chapters of Numbers (caps. 32, 35, and 36), and then straight through the thirtyfour chapters of Deuteronomy, omitting only cap. 14. It then (as in 1604 ed.) takes Joshua, caps. 1 to 10, omitting the rest, except caps. 14, 20, 22, 23, and 24. Then follow nine chapters of Judges (so that the Lessons for the last day are Judges 8 and 9, instead of 9 and 10, as in 1549). The ed. of 1662 begins with Deut. 15 and 16, and takes all the remaining chapters, except the 23rd. Of Joshua (as in 1604), caps. 1 to 1o follow, and then all the rest omitted, except caps. 23 and 24. Of Judges, the whole twenty-one, and of Ruth the four chapters, follow, requiring four chapters of I. Samuel to complete the month. A vacant place is left for the Lessons for the Annunciation. The Second Lessons are throughout the six editions the same. Variation of the Lessons in successive Editions. The eds. of 1552 and 1559 follow 1549 throughout. The eds. of 1604, &c., begin with I. Sam., caps. 6 and 7, and go through the remaining 25 chapters (i.e. to the 31st). So also of II. Samuel, each of the 24 chapters follow in order, and 8 chapters of 1. Kings, so that for the 30th day we find I. Kings, caps. 7 and 8. For S. Mark's Day, two chapters, Ecclus. 4 and 5, are provided. The Scotch ed. of 1637 begins with Judges 10 and 11, and contains the remaining 12 chapters, ie. to the 31st. Then follow the 4 of Ruth, and the 31 chapters of I. Samuel. Next, eleven chapters of II. Samuel, which, with the provision of the two caps. of Ecclesiasticus for S. Mark's Day (as in 1604), complete the month. The ed. of 1662 follows closely upon the 1604 ed., being throughout exactly one chapter behindhand; i.e. beginning with I. Samuel, caps. 5 and 6 (instead of I. Sam., caps. 6 and 7), and ending with I. Kings, caps. 6 and 7 (instead of I. Kings, caps. 7 and 8). For S. Mark's Day also provision is made. The Second Lessons are throughout the six editions the same. Ps. Kalend. Richard. Ambrose. 4 No. 3 No. prid. No. Nonas. 8 Id. 7 Id. 6 Id. 13 18 087 10 b II C 12 d 5 Id. 4 Id. 3 Id. prid.
