EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost.

The Epistle. Rom. vi. 19.

I

SPEAK after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to un­cleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members servants to right­eousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin ye were free from right­eousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Gospel. St. Mark, viii. 1.

IN N those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat; and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them cante from far.
