274 APPENDIX. 



THE COMMON PRAYER. 



In the name of God, health for every body that has a soul. Recom- 

 pense to good people at the day of judgment. Thanks to God the 

 master of every thing. King of judgment, w^e pray to you to give us 

 time to do what we wish. We ought to do according to your law. Your 

 law is right. God help every body to do what is right. He will not 

 then be angry with them. Amen, 



HYMN. 



One thousand two hundred and thirty years and six moons are gone 

 since Mahomet went. Every body knows this. Our day of labour is 

 done, our night of sleep is passed. Every thing which we make must 

 be spread on a hide (that every body may see it). If the young boy 

 makes, if the old man makes, leaving out nothing, still we must fear 

 God, to do away the bad things done before we lived. Do right quickly. 

 All things pass away except God, who must remain for ever. 



THE HISTORY OF JOSEPH. 



Joseph had twenty-nine brothers, and he dreamed that he represented 

 the stars, and when he told this to his father and mother, they replied, 

 " Say this no more, for fear of your brothers," but the by-standers re- 

 peated it ; and his brothers asked him, " Are you to be our master?" and 

 .Joseph replied, " What God sends I take, but as yet I know not." The 

 brothers then seized him, put him into a bucket, and let him down into 

 a well thii'ty feet deep, on pretence of his being better able to get water 

 than they, who were bigger. God told him not to cry, for that would 

 do him no good. The father and mother cried till they were bhnd. 

 Joseph remained one year in the well, being supported in it by God.
