Book of Homilies

By B.

Burnet, in his *History of the Reformation in anno 1542*, says,— "A Book of Homilies was printed, in which the Gospels and Epistles of all the Sundays and Holidays of the year were set down with a *Homily to every one of these*. To these were also added Sermons upon several occasions, as for *Weddings*, *Christenings*, and *Funerals*." Can any learned clerk inform me where a copy of such Homilies can be seen?
