Articles Removed from Elizabeth's Booke

In case you are interested. Numbered in accord with the 1562 edition, which only had 38 Articles:

XXXIX. The Resurrection of the Dead is not past already.

The Resurrection of the Dead is not past already, as if it belonged only to the Soul, which by the Grace of Christ is raised from the Death of Sin, but is to be expected by all Men in the last Day: for at that time (as the Scripture doth most apparently testify) the Dead shall be restored to their own Bodies, Flesh and Bones, to the end that Man, according as either righteously or wickedly he hath passed this Life, may, according to his Works, receive Rewards or Punishments.

XL. The Souls of Men deceased, do neither perish with their Bodies.

They who maintain that the Souls of Men deceased, do either sleep, without any manner of sense, to the Day of Judgment, or affirm that they die together with the Body, and shall be raised therewith at the last Day, do wholly differ from the Right Faith, and Orthodox Belief, which is delivered to us in the Holy Scriptures.

XLI. Of the Millenarians.

They who endeavour to revive the Fable of the Millenarians, are therein contrary to the Holy Scriptures, and cast themselves down headlong with Jewish Dotages.

XLII. All Men not to be saved at last.

They also deserve to be condemned, who endeavour to restore that pernicious Opinion, That all Men (though never so ungodly) shall at last be saved; when for a certain time, appointed by the Divine Justice, they have endured punishment for their Sins committed.

A Sea Shanty for St. Michael and All Angels

Audio of the song   “He Made the Devil Fall” - a “Sea Shanty” (Luke 10:18; Rev. 20:10) Beckmann, Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, 2023 Jesus, he came to Galilee And he made the devil fall! And called the twelve to with him be. And he made the devil fall! Refrain: He made the devil fall, my boys, He makes the devil fall! Christ the King will come again, And he’ll make the devil fall! Ho!   To them his pow'r was freely giv'n, And he made the devil fall! And Satan fell like light’ning from heav'n, And he made the devil fall!  He purged our sins; his vict'ry won! And he made the devil fall! And rose again to take his throne. And he made the devil fall!  He sent St. Michael with his sword, And he made the devil fall! And cast that dragon to the earth, And he made the devil fall!  He’ll send an angel, the devil to take And he’ll make the devil fall! And cast him into the fiery lake! And he’ll make the devil fall!

What is Evensong?

 Here are a few articles explaining the Anglican tradition of Evensong: From Ad Fontes:  https://christhum.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/liturgy-bits-a-spotters-guide-to-evensong/ Here's an article on Evensong from Classic FM:  https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/what-is-evensong-how-long-service/ The Religious News Service:  https://religionnews.com/2017/08/30/evensong-sees-a-surge-even-as-british-church-attendance-declines/ From choralevensong.org/uk:   https://www.choralevensong.org/uk/about-choral-evensong-724.php For some reason, you have to go to "Read More" to use the links. It helps to differentiate between "Evensong" proper, which is the Evening Prayer service sung by officiants and congregation, and "Choral Evensong", which is the Evening Prayer mostly sung by a choir.
