A Table of the Epistles and Gospels

The full title reads: "A Table of the Epistles and Gospels, after the Romane use, upon Sundaies, Holidaies, and other principal daies of the yere, for such as are desirous to know and reade them according to this translation. And therefore the Epistles taken out of the old Testament are omitted, till the edition thereof." Where the print omits an Epistle because it is drawn from the Old Testament, which the Douay had not yet published in 1582, the entry below shows only a Gospel; such places are marked in the print with a star. This edition does include the Old Testament, so wherever the Douay itself records the omitted reading, it is supplied here in italic: from its own Table of the Epistles, taken forth of the Old Testament, and from the lectionary rubrics printed in the margins of the Old Testament text. Between them these cover the festival days and part of Lent. For the Lenten ferias, the Ember days, and Holy Week the Douay records nothing, and those readings are supplied instead from the traditional Roman Missal — they are the Church's, not the Douay's, and are marked the same way. Where even that is uncertain the entry still shows a Gospel alone, as the 1582 left it.

The page numbers are the original 1582 New Testament's folio references and are reproduced exactly as printed.
