§ 339. The priest' meeting the corpse at the church stile, shall say: Or da the priests' and clerks shall sing, and so go either into' the church, or towards* the grave.
I Am the resurrection and the life (saith the Lord): he that believeth in me, yea' though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and be- John "'k lieveth in me, shall not die for everl.

I Know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand . . at the latter day upon *'"

We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry no- x 7TM: 6."' thing out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the Name of the Lord.
I Know that my Redeemer liveth, and that I shall rise out of the earth in the last day, and shall be covered again with my skin, and shall see God in my ^° xuc'" flesh: yea and I myself shall behold him, not with other but with these0 same eyes.

I Said, I will take „. . heed to my ways: dia„.
that I offend not in Psal. xxxix. my tongue.
I held my tongue, and spake nothing : I kept silence, yea even from good words; but it was pain and grief to me.
My heart was hot within me, and while I was thus musing, the fire kindled : and at the last I spake with my tongue.
Lord, let me know mine' end, and the number of my days : that I may be certified how long I have to live.
Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long : and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee, and verily every man living is altogether vanity.
For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquicteth himself in vain : he heapcth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.
I became dumb and opened not my mouth : for it was thy doing.
When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment : every man therefore is but vanity.

§ 342. When they come at' the grave, whiles the corpse is made ready to k laid into the earth, the pt iest' shall say, or else the priest * and clerks shall sing.
Man that is born of a woman, hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery: he cometh up and is cut down like a flower; he flieth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
U In the midst of life we be -v in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, which • for our sins justly art moved1? Yet, O Lordb God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death. Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts: shut not up thy merciful eyes to our prayers0: But spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and merciful* Saviour, thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not at our last hour for any pains of death to fall from thee.
In the morning it is green, and gToweth up : but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.
For when thou art angry all our days are gone : we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.
The days of our age are threescore years and ten, and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years : yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.
But who regardeth the power of thy wrath : for even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.
O* teach us to number our days: that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last : and be gracious unto thy servants.
O satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon : so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
for the years wherein we have suffered adversity.
Shew thy servants thy work : and their children thy glory.
And the glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us : prosper thou the work of our hands upon us, O prosper thou our handy work.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost.
