Evening Prayer (1662 Book of Common Prayer)

LECTIONS. John Calvin on the Psalms. Keil & Delitzsch on Joshua. Matthew Henry on Revelation. Dr. Robert Reymond on Systematic Theology. Dr. Philip Schaff on the Swiss Reformation, namely, Ulrich Zwingli. Westminster Shorter Catechism, 71-80. Prof. Calvin. Psalm 5.11-12. God is a Shield, Fortress and Castle for His people. Assuredly, not incompetently. Prof. Keil. Joshua 4.1-14. Israel has crossed the Jordan. Matthew Henry. In Rev. 2.1-9 concerning Ephesus, the ministers and congregation is commended for its labor, diligence, patience, detection of false prophets claiming to be apostles. The Analyst above knows His church and commends these God-given virtues. Tomorrow, we'll hear the "but" clause, to wit, losing their first love. Prof. Reymond. Citing 2 Pet. 3.15,16, Peter claims with words and grammar that Paul's letters were Scriptures, words and all. Sorry, Barth. SGT-of-the-Guard: Remove Barth from the room, cuff 'em, book 'em, and take him to the brig. An Article 15 hearing will be scheduled for the trial-to-come." St. Paul and St. Peter will be witnesses for the prosecution of Barth. Prof. Schaff. Following the third disputation in Zurich in 1524 about Romanism, the Bishop of Constance secures university opinions contrary to Zwingli. The other Swiss cantons follow the Bishop's guidance, but Zurich goes it alone. One chief advantage: all things were done in the open, in the vernacular, and from the Bible's grammar. WSC 101-107 finishes the Lord's Prayer, the standard for prayer.
