Jane Austen's Devotions

 

This is a copy of the page for May in The Book of Common Prayer (1762) that Jane Austen's family used for morning and evening prayer. "Leff" is short for "Lessons" in the old-style type. 

The family read through the Psalms each month using the Psalter, and with this schedule, could read through the Old Testament once a year and the New Testament about three times a year.
