For the BCP for 1st Sunday in Advent (the whole of Isaiah 2) this is quite
late (i.e. not in 1549 or 1552), and for Evensong. In the Sarum Use, the
Chapter at 1st Vespers (the nearest equivalent) for the 1st Sunday in Advent
is Isaiah 2:2 only.
Isaiah 2:2-5 was the lesson at Mass in the Sarum Use for Ember Wednesday in
the third week in Advent. (Tyndale mistakes it for the Epistle.)
