The Order how the Psalter is

THE Psalter shall be read through
once every Month, as it is there
appointed, both for Morning and Even-
ing Prayer. But in February it shall
be read only to the 28th or 29th day
of the Month.
And Whereas January, March, May,
July, August, October, and December,
have One and Thirty days apiece; it is 
ordered, That the same Psalter shall be
read the last day of the said Months,
which were read the day before: So
that the Psalter may begin again the 
first day of the next Month ensuing.
And whereas the 119th Psalm is 
divided into XXII Portions, and is
over-long to be read at one time it 
is so ordered, That at one time shall 
not be read above four or five of the
said Portions.
And at the end of every Psalm, and
of every such part of the 119th Psalm,
shall be repeated this Hymn,
Glory be to the Father, and to the
Son; and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be: world without
end. Amen.
Note, That the Psalter followeth
the Division of the Hebrews, and the 
Translation of the great English Bible,
set forth and used in the time of King
Henry VIII and Edward VI.

The Order how the rest of Holy
Scripture is appointed to be read. 
THE Old Testament is appointed for
the first Lessons at Morning and
Evening Prayer; so as the most part
thereof will be read over every year
once, as in the Calendar is appointed.
The New Testament is appointed 
for the second Lessons at Morning
and Evening Prayer, and shall be read
over orderly every year thrice, between
the Epistles and Gospels except the
Apocalypse, out of which there are
only certain Proper Lessons appointed
upon divers Feasts.
And to know what Lessons shall be
read every day, look for the day of the
month in the Calendar following, and 
there ye shall find the Chapters that
shall be read for the Lessons both at
Morning and Evening Prayer; except 
only the Moveable Feast, which are
not in the Calendar, and the immove-
able, where there is a blank left in
the Column of Lessons; the Proper
Lessons for all which days are to be
found in the Table of Proper Lessons.
And note, that whensoever Proper
Psalms or Lessons are appointed, then
the Psalms and Lessons of ordinary
course appointed in the Psalter and
Calendar, if they be different, shall 
be omitted for that time. 
Note also, that the Collect, Epistle,
and Gospel appointed for the Sunday
shall serve all the Week after, where it is
not in this Book otherwise orders.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request informa-
tion relative to William Hughlett or Hewlett, a soldier of the Revo-
lutionary War.

Lawson and Sigismund Stribling's Company, Colonels John Green and 
Samuel Hawes' Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Guilford Court 
House, Camden, siege of Ninety Six and battle of Eutaw Springs and 
was discharged in 1781 by Major Snead, after having served eighteen 
months.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818,  
while residing in Fauquier County, Virginia.

In 1820, soldier stated that he was then aged sixty-three years 
and that his family residing with him at that time consisted of his 
wife, aged fifty-four years; two daughters, one aged twenty-seven 
years and the other twelve years and two grandsons, one aged two years 
and the other eight months, whose parents were dead, but gave no
