Then rising up, and turning himself to the people, he crossed himself, and took the foresaid book (which was said to be the Rhemish Testament) out of the hand of the man that followed him: and the hour-glass being set upon the table, he opened the book, and read the Gospel appointed (according to the direction of the Romish Calendar) 1for the 21 Sunday after Pentecost, as that was.
