payde for a bybill for the church 

Modern Transcription

Paid for a Bible for the church. 

Notes

Editor’s endnotes: 

 

11. In 1562, a Bible is said to have been bought for the church, which cost ten shillings. This, I suppose, was the Geneva bible in quarte, both on account of the small price, and that edition, having the division of the verses, was best suited to public use. It was an English translation, which had been revised and corrected by the English exiles at Geneva in Q. Mary’s reign, and printed there in 1560, with a dedication to Q. Elizabeth. In the year 1576, we find another Bible was bought, which in the article is termed the New Bible, and said to have cost forty shillings; which must doubtless have been the folio, usually called Archbishop Parker’s Bible, printed at London 1568, by Richard Jugge the queen’s printer. They had prayer-books, psalters, and song-books, for the churches at the beginning of this reign, but the whole Bible was not then easily procured.

payde for two bokes of common prayer agaynste invading of the Turke 

Modern Transcription

Paid for two books of common prayer against invading of the Turk. 

Notes

Editor's note:

12. In 1565, there is a charge of six pence for two common-prayer books “against invading of the Turke.” It was thought the common cause of the Christian state in Europe to oppose the progress of the Turkish arms by all methods, both civil and religious. And this year the Turks had made a descent upon the isle of Malta, where they besieged the town and castle of St. Michael, when, upon the approach of the Christian fleet, they broke up the siege, and suffered a considerable loss in their flight, as may be seen in Thuanus, lib. XXXVIII. And as the war was carried on between them and the emperor Maximilian in Hungary, the like prayer books were annually purchased for the parish till the year 1565 inclusive.

Notes

Editor's note:

14. In 1573, mention is made of “paper for four bookes of “Geneva psalmes.” It is well known that the vocal music in parochial churches received a great alteration in the reign of Q. Elizabeth, being changed from antiphonies into metrical psalmody, which is here called the Geneva psalms.
