LMIGHTY and most merciful Father; we have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.
We have been unmindful of the Unity of

the Body of Christ; We are guilty of the sin of schism, we, and our fathers, and our the s forefathers, and we have gloried in the same; We have lived in strife and contention; We have judged one another, and despised one another, saying each to the other," Stand by, for I am holier than thou." We have lightly esteemed and forgotten the ordinances which Thou didst give at the beginning for the perfecting of the saints; And the hope of the coming again of Thy dear Son into the World is lost from amongst Thy people, and we are not purified thereby as He is as He is pure. And there is no health in us.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare us, good Lord; spare Thou them which confess their faults. Restore Thou them that are penitent; according to Thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And Grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake; that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of Thy holy Name. R. Amen. w to estia

CONFESSION.
ALMIGHTY GOD, who art greatly to be feared in Thy holiness; we are ashamed of our manifold iniquities; we confess unto Thee our sin. We offend continually and grievously in deed, in word, and in thought. Our fathers have transgressed against Thee; and we, our childthe measure ren, and our brethren, do fill up of their iniquity. Thy people, from generation to generation, have resisted and turned from Thee. We have abounded in false doctrine, heresy, and schism. The priesthood have sinned, and all the people. We harden our hearts, and are impenitent; we are proud and rebellious; we are high- minded, and refuse to be humbled. We have rejected Thine ordinances, and have chosen paths of our own. We have lived in strife and confusion; and have not desired peace. We have loved lies

and vanity, hypocrisy and deceit. We covet and lust after the things which perish, and seek not Thy heavenly kingdom. We confess the sin of all Thy people, the members of Thy One Catholic Church. We have received Thy truth with our minds, but have closed our hearts against Thee. We have sat in judgment on those whom Thou hast set over us, and we judge not ourselves. We have loved the ways of disorder in which we have lived, and have been slow to learn reverence and humility. We have caused Thy truth to be rejected of the heathen by our foolishness and our sin; and have brought reproach upon Thy holy Name. By our hardness of heart and unbelief we have grieved and quenched Thy Holy Spirit. We are a burden unto Thee, hindering Thy purpose of grace to others; and we have forsaken our own mercies.
We confess unto Thee, O God, the sin of all kings, princes, and governors; the sin of all ranks and estates of men: from the highest to the lowest, we have all transgressed against Thee. And as dwellers in this land, we especially acknowledge before Thee the sin of this kingdom and people. For all these our manifold offences and iniquities we do beseech Thy mercy. We have sinned wilfully and grievously, yet have pity on us. We have pre

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
The Services to be the same at MORNING and EVENING PRAYER as on ordinary days, except that the following EXHORTATION and CONFESSION shall be used[ after the INVOCATION].
EXHORTATION.
HE hope of Christians in the beginning, which encouraged and strengthened them to bear up against the cruel persecutions which desolated the Church, was that the Lord Jesus Christ would speedily return to this earth, and give rewards unto His faithful servants. For this they were willing to die, and for this they lived; and this hope purified them, and made them meet for the kingdom of Heaven. The hope of Him who should bruise the serpent's head consoled Eve, after she had seen the misery which she had brought upon her posterity. The same hope comforted the Patriarchs. But
G 2

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
we, and all our brethren, are fallen away from our hope: we have fallen into the sin of standing still, instead of going on unto perfection; the sin, which so easily besets us, and against which we are specially warned in Holy Scripture. We love not the suffering creation, which is groaning, waiting for deliverance: we have not thought of the departed martyrs, by whose zeal and faithfulness the knowledge of God has been handed down to us; and who, having fallen asleep, wait for the resurrection of their bodies, that they may enter into the joy and presence of their Lord. Our love to our Saviour, who longs to hear our cry that He should come again unto us, and deliver us from all temptation and trial, hath waxed cold. We have ceased to feel for the oppressed poor, over all the earth, who have none to help them, but the Lord. Oh! we are indeed hardhearted and selfish, and the love of God dwelleth not in us; since, seeing our brethren in so much need, we come not to their aid, and seek not the Lord, in behalf of a world lying in pain and misery, that He, who alone is the Saviour of the body as well as of the soul, would come and wipe away tears from off all faces. We have indeed been anxious for our own personal salvation; but we have lost sight of the Body of Christ, and forgotten that it is

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
only as One Body, and not as individuals, that we can be received into glory. We have been altogether indifferent to God's glory, and to God's end and purpose, to be accomplished and brought about by His Church, which He formed as His instrument to effect His ends. The Jews have been reviled as unbelievers; whilst they have been more steadfast in the faith of the promises made unto them, than we in those made unto us.
Yet God hath not shut up His loving- kindnesses in displeasure, nor forgotten His covenant for ever. He still waiteth to be gracious, and is ready to hearken to the cry of His people, who turn unto Him with weeping and in true penitence of heart. Wherefore draw near, and confess your sins unto Him, in earnest hope of His mercy through Jesus Christ.
CONFESSION.
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we confess that we are unclean and impure in Thy sight; that the hope of the speedy coming of Thy dear Son hath not purified us as He is pure, for we have been altogether unmindful of that hope, and indifferent to it. We have rent and torn asunder the Church of God, which should be one; and we have not mourned over our schismatic ways. We have been careless

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
about the desolation of Thy Church, the place where Thine honour dwelleth. We have not been mindful of our brethren, who have gone before us, whose blood has watered the Church, and through whose faith and zeal Thou hast been able to preserve unto us, to this day, the record of all that Thou hast done for us. We have resisted the voice of Thy Spirit in Thy Church, by which Thou wouldst have given her continual light; and we have lightly esteemed the ministries which Thou didst appoint of old, for spiritual rule and direction of the whole body.
Behold we return unto Thee our God, from whose ways we have grievously departed, and implore Thy pardon for all our folly. Though our sins be as scarlet, Thou canst make us white as snow. Our hope is in Thee alone. Forgive us, we beseech Thee; forgive Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy most precious blood; and be not angry with us for ever. Create in us clean and contrite hearts; and vouchsafe to us Thy heavenly grace, that we turn not again unto folly. Hear us, 0 most merciful God, for the sake of Jesus Christ.
R. Amen.

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
The following ABSOLUTION may also be used.
ALMIGHTY GOD, our most merciful
Father, who despiseth not the sighing of the contrite heart, nor the desire of such as be sorrowful; who hath given His only- begotten Son to die for our sins, and for His sake taketh not vengeance on sin; but hath respect unto the blood of the Lamb, which taketh away the sin of the world; Pardon and forgive the innumerable offences committed against His Divine Majesty, and blot out as a thick cloud the transgressions of His Church, and remember no more her sins.
Draw nigh, therefore, unto Him in full assurance of faith in this His mercy, and make known unto Him all your desires; that ye may receive strength from Him to walk henceforth before Him in all well- pleasing, to the glory of His most holy Name. Peace be with you. R. Amen.

R. Amen.

We ask not for our sakes, but for Thy holy Name's sake, the accomplishment of the things Thou hast spoken of old. We pray Thee now to accomplish Thine ancient promise, that the Seed of the Woman shall bruise the serpent's head. We pray Thee to give David, Thine Anointed, to rule in Thy Holy City for ever.

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
We pray Thee to send Jesus Christ, whom the heavens have received and do hold until the times of the restitution of all things. We pray Thee, that we, Thy Church and people upon earth, may not see death, but be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and so be ever with Him; that we may not be unclothed, but clothed upon with light and immortality, receiving spiritual bodies. We pray that Jesus Christ, who is the only King of kings and Lord of lords, may take unto Himself now His kingdom, and set up His throne upon the earth.
R. Amen.
BEHOLD, O. Lord, the ruin of Thy sanctuary; Thy Church desolate; the place, in which Thou wouldest manifest Thy holiness and Thy glory, profaned. See, O God, the affliction of Thy people, and send Him whom Thou wilt send, even the Lamb, who shall be the Ruler, and take off the yoke of our captivity. R. Amen.

the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, we beseech Thee in behalf of Thine ancient people, the house of Israel; of whom are the fathers, and of whom, according to the flesh, did come the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We pray Thee to look down with pity upon their low estate, suffering long under Thy righteous wrath and indignation. We have added unto their affliction; we have looked upon our brother in the day that he became a stranger; we have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their desolation; we have spoken proudly in the day of their distress. But now we turn unto Thee in their behalf: we beseech Thee, turn their heart unto Thyself, and take away the veil which is thereon, and remove the blindness of their mind; that they may look upon Him whom they have pierced, and mourn for their iniquities. Accomplish for them, we beseech Thee, all the purposes of mercy and blessing, which Thou hast yet in store for them; give unto them again the land of their inheritance; build speedily the walls of Jerusalem, and make it to be the joy of the whole earth.

We bless Thee for the fathers, to whom Thou didst give promises, and to whom Thou didst give grace to believe the same; we thank Thee for the prophets of old, especially for the greatest of all, the Forerunner of our Lord;

And we do beseech Thee to grant unto us here present, that we may imitate their good example, faithfully serving Thee all our lives, and being ready at all times to bear witness for Thee, even unto the death.

And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.
As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty and the Holy Ghost Almighty.

And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.
For like as we are
compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;
So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion: to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither made,

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore or after other: none is greater or less than another.
But the whole three Persons are co- eternal together: and co- equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity.
Unus ergo Pater, non tres Patres; unus Filius, non tres Filii: unus Spiritus Sanctus, non tres Spiritus Sancti.
Et in hâc Trinitate nihil prius aut posterius: nihil majus aut

For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man.
He is God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and He is Man, the Substance of His Mother, born in the world;
Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting;
Equal to the Father, as touching His Godhead and inferior to the Father, as touching His Manhood.
Who, although He be God and Man: yet

He is not two, but one Christ.

Purge our conscience from guilt by the precious blood of Thy dear Son, shed for our sins; Cleanse and deliver us, by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, from all uncleanness in spirit and in flesh; Search Thou our hearts, and put away from us all leaven of malice and wickedness; Deliver us from all uncharitableness; and give unto us heartily to forgive others, as we beseech Thee to forgive us: That so we may duly minister and receive these Holy Mysteries, and henceforth serve Thee in newness of life, to the glory of Thy holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the onlybegotten Son of God, Begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father, By whom all things were made: Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from

Heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into Heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the prophets. And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; And I look for the resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world to come. R. Amen.
Then shall commence the OFFERTORY, after this manner; and during the rehearsal of the following sentences, the Tithes and the Offerings of the people shall be placed on the Table of Prothesis.
HONOUR the Lord with thy substance,
and with the first fruits of all thy increase so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Let us pray.
ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father,
we offer and present unto Thee this bread and this cup, in token that we are Thine; and that all we have is Thine; and of Thine only can we give to Thee. We are unworthy to offer unto Thee any sacrifice; yet, we beseech Thee, accept this our duty and service, who desire to honour Thee, to worship and adore Thy majesty, and to acknowledge Thee to be our God, and ourselves Thy servants, as

THE HOLY COMMUNION.
we are most bound. And here we do present to Thee ourselves, our souls, and bodies; and dedicate ourselves unto Thy service, renewing our vows, and engaging henceforth to obey Thy commandments, to seek Thy will, to do the things which please Thee, and to avoid and utterly to eschew the things which Thou abhorrest. O God, Thou knowest our weakness, and our frailty is not hid from Thee; Have mercy upon us, and fulfil our vows in us. And as we place upon Thine altar, according to Thy commandment and blessed institution, these creatures of bread and wine, in themselves unable and unapt for any spiritual profit, so may we, Thine unprofitable servants, coming unto Thee in the Name of Jesus Christ, our great High- Priest, be presented unto Thee by Him, and through His merits and intercession be accepted of Thee. Send down Thy Holy Spirit upon us, and let the flesh, and all its affections and lusts, be destroyed in us, as by a consuming fire; that we may henceforth yield ourselves to Thee a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable, which is our reasonable service.
Wherefore, O Lord, we beseech Thee, vouchsafe to us at this time Thy heavenly grace, through this most blessed Sacrament and means of grace. Have respect unto the faith

And grant unto us so to eat His flesh, and to drink His blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by His body, and our souls be washed in His most precious blood; and that we may evermore dwell in Him and He in us.

Priest.
IT T is very meet, right, and our bounden
duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, Father Almighty, Eternal God; who, together with Thy only- begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art One God, and One Lord.
For Thou didst create heaven and earth, and all things that are therein. Thou gavest unto us life and being. By Thy providence are the fruits of the earth preserved to us; and by Thy blessing we, and all things living, are nourished and sustained. Thou openest Thy hand, and fillest us with plenteousness. Thou hast preserved us all our days, and now again Thou bringest us into Thy presence, satisfied with Thy mercies, and replenished with Thy goodness.
For all Thy bounties known to us, for all unknown, we give Thee thanks. But chiefly, that when, through our disobedience, we had fallen from Thee, and forfeited Thy favour, Thou didst not suffer us to depart from Thee for ever; Thou hast ransomed us from eternal death, and given us the joyful hope of everlasting life, through Jesus Christ; who being God of God, very God of very God, Eternal God, dwelling with Thee before all time in glory and blessedness unspeakable, came down

THE HOLY COMMUNION.
from heaven in perfect love, from perfect Love, and became very Man for our salvation.
We bless Thee for His holy incarnation, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, of the Virgin Mary. We bless Thee for His life on earth; and for His precious sufferings and death the cross; and for upon His resurrection from the dead; and for His glorious ascension to Thy right hand.
On any feast, special reference should
be made thereto, in the appropriate part of this or the next sentence.

We bless Thee for the giving of the Holy Ghost; for all the sacraments and ordinances of Thy Church; and for the most blessed Communion of all Saints, in these holy mysteries, which we now celebrate. We bless Thee for the hope of everlasting life, and of the glory which shall be brought unto us at the coming, and in the kingdom, of Thy dear Son.
Thee, Mighty God, heavenly King, we magnify and praise. We worship and adore Thy glorious Name; the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; joining in the hymn of Angels, and Archangels, and all the hosts of heaven, the Cherubim and Seraphim before Thy Throne, and singing unto Thee;

OUR UR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

LOOK upon us, O God, and bless and
sanctify this bread.
In the Name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY GHOST, we bless this bread; and beseech Thee, heavenly Father, to send down Thy Holy Spirit, and make it unto us the Body of Thy Son, Jesus Christ: WHO, THE SAME NIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS BETRAYED,[ here the Priest shall take the bread into his hands] TOOK BREAD; AND AFTER HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE BRAKE IT,[ here he shall break the bread] AND SAID, TAKE, EAT, THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU THIS DO YE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.

LOOK upon us, O God, and bless and
sanctify this cup.
In the Name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY GHOST, we bless this cup; and beseech Thee, heavenly Father, to send down Thy Holy Spirit, and make it unto us the Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ; who, in like manner also,[ here the Priest shall take the cup or flagon into his hands] took the cup after He had supped, saying, THIS CUP IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD: THIS DO YE, AS OFTEN AS YE DRINK IT IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
Priest( kneeling).
ALMIGHTY GOD, we, Thy servants, calling to mind the most blessed sacrifice of Thy Son; shewing forth His death, and rejoicing in His resurrection and glorious presence at Thy right hand, do present unto Thee this reasonable and unbloody Sacrifice, which Thou hast instituted in Thy Church; the holy bread of Everlasting Life, and the cup of Eternal Salvation. Whereupon do Thou look, and accept them upon Thine altar, before Thy glorious high Throne in heaven: Have respect unto that Sacrifice once offered upon the cross, once for all, for the sins of the whole world, full, perfect, and sufficient; and grant unto us,

and all Thy people, the full benefits of the passion of Thy dear Son, remission of all our sins, and eternal life.
Which things, O Lord, we seek not for ourselves apart from Thy Holy Church, among whom may our lot be for ever; in the midst of whom we wait for Thy Salvation; and for whom, and for all for whom Thou wouldest be besought, we offer this our sacrifice, and present to Thee our prayers.
Remember, O Lord, we beseech Thee, Thy Church militant here on earth.
We pray Thee, send Thine Apostles unto Thy Church, to minister the fulness of Thy Gospel, according to Thy will; and unto those whom Thou hast called to serve Thee in that office, give Thy heavenly grace. We pray Thee also for Thy Prophets; and for the Evangelists, and the Pastors and Teachers, whom Thou hast called to labour with Thine Apostles; and, we beseech Thee, that by Thy fourfold ministry Thou wilt perfect Thy saints, and edify the body of Thy Christ.[ Here may be added any special prayer for Ministers in the Universal. Church; and either aloud or secretly.]
We pray Thee for the Angels, to whom, by Thine Apostles, Thou hast given in charge Thy churches. Keep them, we beseech Thee, faithful and obedient; ruling Thy people com

mitted to their care in Thy holy fear and love. Give unto them quick discernment, firmness, and patience, in the things of the Spirit; that they may foster the motions of Thy good Spirit in the hearts of Thy people, and be swift to detect the devil and his devices, and mighty to cast him forth and to bar him from Thy fold; that they may defend the sheep of Thy pasture from his assaults, and may snatch them from his grasp.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, unto all Elders, and Prophets, and Evangelists, and Pastors to all Deacons, Under- Deacons, and Deaconesses, serving Thee under Thine Angels; that they may fulfil their several ministries, and bless Thy flock; and to all Thy people, gathered under Thine Angels, that they may be holy and obedient, renouncing the love of this present evil world, with all its ways; denying themselves, and following only Thy most holy will: and grant, that they may come behind in no gift of Thy Holy Spirit, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We especially commend unto Thee Thine Angel before Thee, and the congregation here assembling.[ Here may be added any special petitions for the particular church; also for any other church; and these, either aloud or secretly.]

Remember, also, we beseech Thee, the Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, of the Catholic Church, and all baptized people. Uphold all Bishops in their true place; and grant to them the willing obedience and ready hearts of all their clergy, and of the people committed to their charge. Do Thou preserve them from transgressing the bounds of their holy office, or the duties Thou dost presently impose upon them. And give them so to desire the fulness of Thy blessing on Thy Church, that they may rejoice to receive Thine Apostles, whom, in the fulness of the blessing of Thy Gospel, Thou wouldest send unto them. And unto all in any holy office in Thy Church, give Thy heavenly grace, and enable' them to fulfil their several duties in Thy fear, and in purity of heart. And cause Thy people to grow in grace, in the knowledge of Thy will, in sound religion, and unto all perfection. Especially we beseech Thee for the Bishop of this diocese, and all the clergy and people therein.[ Here may be added any special prayer for the diocese or parish.] Pa bespo
Here also shall follow this Prayer for the Catholic Church in her low estate.
O MERCIFUL God, look down upon
Thy desolate heritage, upon Thy scattered and divided people. Destroy

and put away all schisms and heresies from Thy Church; bring back all who have wandered; and cleanse Thy Sanctuary from all defilement of superstition, will- worship, and infidelity. O God, Thou dost rebuild Thy holy altar in the midst of Thy people, giving Thine Apostles to minister before Thee, as in the beginning Thou didst commit this ministry unto them. Wherefore, we beseech Thee, strengthen the things which remain, and are ready to die; Send forth Thy health, and joy, and life, among all Thy people. Vouchsafe unto them the fulness of Thy heavenly strength and comfort; and grant unto Thy Church unity and peace. Clothe Thy priests with righteousness, and make Thy people joyful with Thy salvation.'

pray for all estates of men in Christian lands; for Christian kings, princes, and governors; for judges and magistrates; for nobles, and men of estate, and for all the people. We beseech Thee, put Thine honour and majesty on all who are in authority, and let them exercise the same in wisdom, justice, and mercy; and give unto all who are under authority contentment and obedience: that righteousness and truth may prevail; that injustice, cruelty, and fraud, may be defeated;

and that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives, in all godliness and honesty. Especially in this land we remember before Thee our
gracious Sovereign.[ Here shall follow prayers for the Sovereign, the Royal Family, and the realm.]
Bless the arms of Christian nations, and do Thou favour the righteous cause; give unto them peace one with another; take away all ambition, and wicked lusts, and all that would endanger or destroy godly concord; save us from bloodshed and confusion; and vouchsafe unto all Christian men to dwell together as brethren, in unity and peace.
O merciful God, who wouldest not that any should perish, and hast given Thy Son Jesus Christ to die for all men; we pray Thee, send forth the tidings of Thy salvation unto the ends of the earth; and turn the hearts of all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Heretics; and fetch them home unto Thy fold.
Remember Thine everlasting covenant with all flesh, while the earth remaineth; and vouchsafe unto us seasonable weather, that the fruits of the earth may be perfected and gathered in. Preserve us from famine, and from pestilence.
O Thou, who hearkenest from heaven unto the sighings and groanings of Thy creatures; who pitiest our sorrows, and hatest nothing

Send forth Thine Evangelists, and let them stretch forth the hand, and let the sick be healed, and devils be cast out; and let the dead be raised, and Thy glorious Gospel be preached to the poor. [ Here mention may be made of the case of any individual, aloud or secretly.]
And especially we commend unto Thee all those departing this life; be present to them, in Thy mercy and Thy love, in that last hour when flesh and heart do fail; and give unto them, we beseech Thee, such patient hope and confidence, that they may joyfully commit their spirits into Thine hands.

And now, heavenly Father, we rejoice in the blessed communion of all Thy saints, wherein Thou givest us also to have part. We remember before Thee, and beseech Thee to remember, all Thy saints departed in the faith.

THE HOLY COMMUNION.
We venerate their memories; We give thanks t to Thee for Thy great grace and many gifts bestowed upon them, through whom such benefits have come to us in the dispensation of Thy Gospel; We especially thank Thee, that Thou didst enable them to abide faithful unto death whose faith may we follow, that we may be partakers of their joy. And we pray Thee, that of Thy mercy Thou wilt keep them in rest and peace, until our common perfecting in bliss in the day of the glorious
resurrection.
Thy faithful Patriarchs of old, and all the Prophets; Thy servant John the Baptist, Forerunner of the Lord; and all who served Thee before His coming, we remember.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, unto whom Thou didst give such faith, and didst so replenish her with grace, that she should become the mother of the Lord, we remember; and with Thy holy Angels, and with Thy Church in all generations, we call her Blessed.
Thy Holy Apostles and Prophets, Thine Evangelists and Pastors, who served Thee in the first days of Thy Church, we remember and celebrate before Thee. The Holy Bishops, Priests, and Deacons; the blessed Martyrs and Confessors; and all who have served Thee in life, and remained faithful unto death,

We commend unto Thee those, who, in these last times, have rejoiced in Thy returning grace unto Thy Church, in the reviving of the ordinances which Thou gavest at the beginning, and in the manifestations of the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit.[ Here mention may be made of any Minister, aloud or in secret.]
All our fathers, our brethren, and our children, we remember, and commend their spirits unto Thee.[ Here mention may be made of any individual, aloud or secretly.]
Hasten, O God, the time, when Thou shalt send from Thy right hand Him, whom Thou wilt send; At whose glorious appearing Thy saints departed shall be raised, and we, which are alive, shall be caught up to meet Him, and so shall ever be with Him. Under the veil of earthly things we have now communion with Him; but with unveiled face we shall then behold Him, rejoicing in His glory, made like unto Him in His glory; and by Him, with all Thy Church, holy and unspotted, shall be presented before the presence of Thy glory, with exceeding joy. Hear us, O Heavenly Father, for His sake: to whom, with Thee, and the Holy Ghost, One living and true God, be glory for ever and ever. R. Amen.

THE ORDER
FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION OF
THE HOLY COMMUNION
TO THOSE WHO WERE NOT PRESENT AT THE CONSECRATION.
D
The Priest shall place the vessels containing the Holy Bread and Wine, which has been reserved, on the Table of Prothesis.
He shall then address those present, as follows:
EARLY beloved in the Lord,
Ye see before you the bread which hath been broken, and the cup which hath been blessed, in the Church of God, and which, as the Apostle saith, are the Communion of the Body and of the Blood of Christ. And Almighty God, who is full of tenderness towards the necessities of His creatures, hath ordained this holy Service, that you, who were hindered from approaching to His holy Table in the morning, but who were present in your desires, and in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, as sheep of the fold of Jesus Christ, and faithful members of this flock, may now be blessed in partaking of this heavenly feast, and means of grace.

THE HOLY COMMUNION.
Remember, I beseech you, the holy act which hath been wrought in the Service of this Day. These creatures of bread and wine, brought up by His congregation, have been accepted of God; And through the operation of the Holy Ghost, by the Word of God and by prayer, have been made unto His Church the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. And, being thus sanctified, they have been presented before God, in memorial of that One Sacrifice upon the Cross once offered by Jesus Christ, full, perfect, and sufficient; for the sake whereof the mercy of God hath been besought on behalf of all God's Church and people, for you, and for all men, even the remission of all our sins, and everlasting life.
Of this Bread and this Cup your brethren have partaken, feeding on that Flesh, and drinking that Blood; And now, in the Name of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as one with them in the Communion of the Holy Ghost, I invite you also to draw near and partake thereof.
And as it becomes us at all times to confess our sins, and cast ourselves upon the mercy of God, waiting for His forgiveness, so especially at this time it becomes us to humble ourselves before Him, in thus coming into His immediate presence, and seeking this

THE HOLY COMMUNION.
blessing at His hands. Wherefore I beseech you to accompany me with all your heart, making your humble confession unto Almighty God, meekly kneeling upon your
knees.
Then shall follow the CONFESSION, set forth in the Communion Service.
And after it the ABSOLUTION.old bna dash Then the proper COLLECT, EPISTLE, and GOSPEL. And afterwards the CREED.
Then shall be offered up the following PRAYER.
ALMIGHTY GOD, our Heavenly Father,
who hast gathered these Thy servants at this time into Thy presence, that Thou mayest satisfy them with Thy mercy; Vouchsafe unto them Thy heavenly grace, through this most blessed Sacrament and means of grace. And as Thou hast accepted the offerings and sacrifice of Thy Church, and hast had respect unto their faith and prayers, and through the ministry of Thine ordained servants hast, by Thy Holy Spirit, made this bread and this cup to be the most precious Body and Blood of Christ our Saviour given for remission of sins, and for Eternal Life, feeding Thy Church and congregation with heavenly food; So, we beseech Thee, vouchsafe also unto these Thy servants the same inestimable benefits: And grant unto them so to eat the flesh of Thy

dear Son, and to drink His blood, that their sinful bodies may be made clean. through His body, and their souls be washed in His most precious blood; and that they may evermore dwell in Him, and He in them. Hear these our prayers, most merciful Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ, to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost, One God, be glory for ever and ever. R. Amen.
The Priest shall then deliver the Holy Vessels to the Deacon or Deacons, who shall administer the Communion to the people as in the morning. After which shall be sung the GLORIA PATRI.
Then shall follow the BENEDICTION. The same form of Service may also be used in administering the Communion to the sick. But, in case of need, the Collect, Epistle and Gospel, and the Creed, may be omitted, and it shall be sufficient to read ST. JOHN'S Gospel, chap. vi. verses 53, 54, 55.

THANKSGIVING OF WOMEN AFTER CHILDBIRTH.
The Woman may present herself for this Thanksgiving at any service at Nine or Three; and it shall be offered before the concluding Prayer.
The Priest shall say to her,
ORASMUCH as it hath pleased Almighty God, of His goodness, to give you safe deliverance, and hath preserved you in the great danger of childbirth: you shall therefore give hearty thanks unto God, and
say:
Then the Priest shall say
PSALM CXVI.

Because He hath inclined His ear unto me: therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and

the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Then called I upon the Name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful:
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with Thee.
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living:
I believed, therefore have I spoken; I was greatly afflicted.
I said in my haste: all men are liars. What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the Name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows unto the Lord, now in the presence of all His people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
O Lord, truly I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord: now in the presence of all His people;
In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem: Praise ye the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
Then the Priest shall say,
O
LORD, save this woman Thy servant; who putteth her trust in Thee.
Be Thou to her a strong tower, from the face of her enemy.
Lord, hear our prayer: and let our cry come unto Thee.
Let us pray.
0 ALMIGHTY GOD, we give Thee humble thanks for that Thou hast vouchsafed to deliver this woman, Thy servant, from the great pain and peril of childbirth; Grant, we beseech Thee, most merciful Father, that she, through Thy help, may both faithfully live, and walk according to Thy will, in this life

R. Amen.
The Woman, if she come to Church at Nine o'clock, should remain to partake of the Holy Eucharist at Ten o'clock, if it be celebrated; or, if at Three o'clock, should attend for that purpose at Ten o'clock on the following day; or otherwise on the next occasion of celebration. And on this, and on all occasions of individual thanksgivings, persons should make offerings, as God may enable them, in testimony of their thankfulness to Him.

THE ORDER
FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION
OF
HOLY BAPTISM.
The following EXHORTATION, CONFESSION, and ABSOLUTION, and the reading of the LESSON, shall be at the uccustomed places in the Church.
EARLY beloved in the Lord,
{}}
We are instructed from God's Word, and our own experience doth testify, that all men are conceived and born in sin, and
do of their own nature incline thereto; and so are justly exposed to God's wrath and indignation. We learn also, and do believe, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath offered upon the cross, through His own sufferings and death for us, a sufficient and perfect sacrifice for the Isins of the whole world; and that He hath instituted in His Church the Sacrament of

HOLY BAPTISM.
Baptism, for the remission of sin and for Spiritual Regeneration by the Holy Ghost; that whoso believeth, and is baptized, may, according to His promise, and through the mercy of God, be saved.
For this cause we are now gathered together, that this infant may through this Holy Sacrament be washed from his sins, and be made a member of Christ's Holy Church unto eternal salvation. Being assured in our hearts, that it is not the will of our Father which is in heaven, that one of such little ones should perish.
And as it becomes us at all times to humble ourselves before God, so especially at this time, when the present goodness and mercy of God, in making this infant a partaker in all the benefits of the passion of His dear Son, doth lead us to remember those sins for which He hath suffered, the just for the unjust and evil. Wherefore, let us confess unto Almighty God the sinfulness of our nature, and our own unworthiness, that, receiving from Him the assurance of His mercy and forgiveness, we may with joy and confidence present and dedicate this infant unto Him, and beseech Him that He will deliver this infant out of the kingdom of darkness, and translate him into the kingdom of His dear Son.

HOLY BAPTISM.
Then shall follow this CONFESSION. Let us pray.
GOD, merciful Father, we
humbly confess before Thee, that we and all men are shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, and that from the womb we go astray speaking lies. We do inherit a deceitful and desperately wicked heart, and, of our own natural propensity and perverse wills, we do all follow our perverse and untoward ways. We bewail, and are sorry for, this our fault and manifest corruption, which is a grief and a displeasure to Thy holy Mind, and which we acknowledge to be our guilt and shame. Yet have mercy upon us, 0 most merciful Father, for Jesus Christ's sake; Vouchsafe unto us remission of our sins through His most precious blood, and the continual renewing of Thy Holy Spirit; that we may henceforth walk in newness of life, to the glory of Thy holy Name. R. Amen.
The ABSOLUTION.
ALMIGHTY GOD, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, for His sake have mercy upon you; grant unto you full remission and forgiveness, and absolve you from all your sins. And may the blessing of God Almighty,

HOLY BAPTISM.
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be with you all. R. Amen.
Then shall be read one of the following portions of Scripture.
St. Mark, x. 13-16.
THEY brought young children to Jesus,
that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed
them.
St. John, iii. 1-8.
THERE
THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man
M 2

HOLY BAPTISM.
be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Rom. vi. 1-11.
WHAT THAT shall we say then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the

HOLY BAPTISM.
body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
After this the Minister shall proceed to the font, and shall address the parties presenting the Infant, as follows:
DEARLY beloved,
Ye have brought this infant unto the Church of God, and do seek for him deliverance from the power of the devil, the remission of sin, and the gift of new and spiritual life by the Holy Ghost, through the Sacrament of Baptism, which Christ hath ordained for the bestowing of these benefits, which God, on His part, will most surely bestow, for the sake of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore, it is my duty, in the presence of God and before this congregation, to demand of you, that, in the name of this infant, who cannot answer on his own behalf, you do make that confession of unfeigned faith, out

HOLY BAPTISM.
of a pure conscience, which Almighty God shall accept and answer, by vouchsafing His Holy Baptism.
I demand therefore,
Dost thou believe that man is of his own nature corrupt and evil, and is guilty before God, and obnoxious to His just judgments? And, Dost thou earnestly desire to be delivered from this guilt?
R. Such is my faith, and such is my desire.
Art thou persuaded of the mercy of God through Jesus Christ, that He willeth not that any one should perish, but hath sent His Son to redeem the world; that Jesus Christ hath died for our sins, the just for the unjust; and that He hath ordained this Sacrament of Baptism, as an effectual means for the remission and washing away of sins, through the blood of Jesus Christ, and for regenerating and sanctifying by the Holy Ghost those who are baptized?
R. All this I believe.
Dost thou renounce and abhor the devil, and all his works, and all evil spirits; the world, and all its glory and vanities, and all sinful desires of the flesh; so that thou wilt not follow, nor be led by them?
R. I renounce and abhor them all.

HOLY BAPTISM.
Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth?
And in Jesus Christ His only- begotten Son our Lord? And that He was conceived by the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin Mary; that He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; that He went down into hell, and also did rise again the third day; that He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; and from thence shall come again to judge the quick and the dead?
And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the Remission of sins; the Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting? R. All this I steadfastly believe.
Wilt thou be baptized in this faith? R. That is my desire.
Wilt thou thenceforth obediently keep God's holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of thy life?
R. I will.

Let us pray.
Here all shall kneel.

HOLY BAPTISM.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who, of
great mercy, save Noah and his family in the ark from perishing by water, and also didst safely lead the children of Israel Thy people through the Red Sea, figuring thereby Thy holy Baptism; And by the baptism of Thy well- beloved Son Jesus Christ, in the river Jordan, didst sanctify water to the mystical washing away of sin; We beseech Thee, for Thine infinite mercies, that Thou wilt mercifully look upon this child; Give unto him, that he may be baptized and washed from all his sins; that he may be born again of water, and of the Holy Ghost; that, being delivered from Thy wrath, and sanctified by Thy Holy Spirit, he may be received into the ark of Christ's Church; and finally, being steadfast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in charity, he may so pass the waves of this troublesome world, that he may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign with Thee, world without end; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
GRANT, O merciful God, that the old Adam in this child may be so buried, that the new man may be raised up in him.
Grant that all carnal affections may die in

him, and that all things belonging to the Spirit may live and grow in him.
Grant that he may have power and strength to have victory, and to triumph, against the Devil, the World, and the Flesh.
Wherefore, O Lord God, we beseech Thee, that, by Thy mighty power, Thou wilt at this time detect and expel all power and wickedness of Satan from the body, soul, and spirit of this child; and wilt deliver him from that wicked enemy, and for ever preserve him from his invasions. That Thou wilt cleanse and sanctify him at this time in his inward being. That Thou wilt clothe him with the shining garment of salvation, the robe of innocency and righteousness. And that thus preparing him for Thy Sacred presence, Thou wilt take up Thy abode in him for ever. Hear us for the sake of Jesus Christ.
R. Amen.
A
LMIGHTY, everliving God, whose most dearly- beloved Son Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of our sins, did shed out of His most precious side both water and blood; and gave commandment to His disciples, that they should teach all nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Regard, we beseech Thee,

HOLY BAPTISM.
the supplications of Thy congregation; sanctify this water, and by Thy mighty power and presence make it effectual, to the mystical washing away of sin, and to the sanctifying of the spirit of this child; and grant that he, being baptized therein, may through means of the same receive the fulness of Thy grace, and ever remain in the number of Thy faithful and elect children; through Jesus Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
Then the Minister shall receive the Child into his arms, and shall say,
Name this child.
And having received the name, shall either pour water on the Child, or dip it in the water; and shall say,
N. I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
R. Amen.
He shall then take the Child from the font, and shall carry him up the steps within the chancel( followed by the parents and others, who shall remain at the foot of the steps), and then luying his hand on the Child's head, shall say,
TE receive this child into the congregation of Christ's flock,[ here the Minister may sign the Child with the sign of the Cross] and do bless him in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. And be thou blessed, and kept unto everlasting life. R. Amen.

HOLY BAPTISM.
Let us pray.
OUR
UR Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them And lead us not that trespass against us. into temptation; but deliver us from evil. R. Amen.
WE yield Thee hearty thanks, most merciful Father, that it hath pleased Thee to regenerate this infant with Thy Holy Spirit, and to receive him for Thine own child by adoption, and to incorporate him into Thy holy Church. And humbly we beseech Thee to grant that he being dead unto sin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in His death, and risen with Him, may crucify the old man, and utterly abolish the whole body of sin; and that at length, in body and in spirit, he may be partaker in the glory of the Resurrection, and with the residue of Thy holy Church, may be an inheritor of Thine everlasting kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.

HOLY BAPTISM.
The Minister shall then charge the baptized, if of an age to understand, and the parents or sponsors, as to their several duties. And shall conclude by blessing them. Then shall be said or sung PSALM XXXIV. 8-12, or PSALM cxxviii. with the GLORIA PATRI.

THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. R. Amen.
It will be remembered that parents or sponsors should give notice on the Saturday preceding of their desire to present a Child for baptism.

The Epistle. Rom. xiii. 8.
WE no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that

now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xxi. 1.
ND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the

colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; and said unto them, It is written, My ' house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
The Second Sunday in Advent. The Epistle. Rom. xv. 4.
WHATSOEVER things were written

SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
Christ Jesus: that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy Name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xxi. 25.
AND there shall be signs in the sun, and in
the moon, and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And

then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig- tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled: heaven and earth shall pass away; but words shall not pass my

The Epistle. 1 Cor. iv. 1.
LET a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until

the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xi. 2.
NOW
OW when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? a prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

THIS
THIS is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou

then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The Nativity of CHRIST, called ChristmasDay.
The Epistle. Heb. i. 1.
GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?

CHRISTMAS- DAY.
And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the first- begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
The Gospel. St. John, i. 1.
IN N the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkUniv.- Bibl. Giessen

ness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, He came unto and the world knew him not. his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his Name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Epistle. Gal. iv. 1.
NOW I say, that the heir, as long as he is
a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; but is under tutors and governors, until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
The Gospel. St. Matt. i. 18.
NOW the birth of Jesus Christ was on this
wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the

CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST.
angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which, being interpreted, is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth her first- born son: and he called his name JESUS.
The Circumcision of Christ.
The Epistle. Coloss. ii. 8.
EWARE lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power; in whom also ye are

CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST.
circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The Gospel. St. Luke, ii. 15.
AND it came to pass, as the angels were
gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe

lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child; and all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds: but Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
The Second Sunday after Christmas.
The Epistle. Rom. xii. 1.
I
BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but

to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office; so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
The Gospel. St. Luke, ii. 41.
NOW his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover; and when he was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem, after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they re turned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it: but they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey. And they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance, and when they found him not they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he

said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins a- piece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water; and they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast; and they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was

( but the servants which drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
The Fourth Sunday after Christmas. The Epistle. Rom. xii. 16.
BE of the same mind one toward another.
Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

WHEN
THEN he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the

LET every soul be subject unto the higher

Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for con

AND when he was entered into a ship, his
disciples followed him.
And, behold,
there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm; but the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an

And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine; and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye

ANOTHER parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou, then, that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with up them. Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin, transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Septuagesima Sunday. The Epistle. 1 Cor. ix. 24.
KNOW ye not that they which run in a
race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate i all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection; lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xx. 1.
FOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a
man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others

standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

FOR ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,( I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ?( I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which

cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

AND when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this:

The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

And though I bestow all my

goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

THEN HEN was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

ing, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: ( for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there and the last state of that man is

But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture?

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? and this he said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,

Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the

And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them; but when they sought to lay hands on him they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

The Epistle. Heb. ix. 16.
FOR where a testament is, there must also
of necessity be the death of the testator; for a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: nor yet that he should offer

himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment; so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many: and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xxvi. 1.
AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat; but when his disciples saw it $ 2

THURSDAY BEFORE EASTER.
they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? for this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

The Epistle. 1 Cor. xi. 17.
NOW in this that I declare unto you I
praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when ye come together in the

THURSDAY BEFORE EASTER.
church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it for there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When ye come together, therefore, into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper; for in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you: That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread; and when he had given thanks he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do Whereshew the Lord's death till he come. fore, whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of

THURSDAY BEFORE EASTER.
that bread and drink of that cup: for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged: but when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xxii. 39.
AND he came out, and went, as he was
wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood

rose up
falling down to the ground. And when he from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow; and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house; and Peter followed afar off. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him

GOOD FRIDAY.
as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Good Friday.
The Epistle. Heb. x. 1.
FOR
OR the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should

have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come( in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifices and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said be

GOOD FRIDAY.
fore, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;( for he is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
The Gospel. St. John, xix. 1.
THEN THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, Hail,

GOOD FRIDAY.
When
King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art Then thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against

GOOD FRIDAY.
Cesar. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified

GOOD FRIDAY.
Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,( for that

GOOD FRIDAY.
sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

The Epistle. 1 Pet. iii. 17.
IT
T is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us,( not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

EASTER DAY.
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry; for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,

and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood and these three agree in one.

FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EASTER.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

THE end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity

SUNDAY AFTER ASCENSION.
among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
The Gospel. St. John, xv. 26.
WHEN the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me; and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

PENTECOST.
Pentecost( commonly called Whitsunday).
The Epistle. Ephes. iv. 4.
THE THERE is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, anto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but

PENTECOST.
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself
in love.
The Gospel. St. John, xiv. 15.
JESUS said unto his disciples, If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more: but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him( not Iscariot), Lord, how is it that thou wilt mani

PENTECOST.
fest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you: but the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice, because I said I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.

FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
First Sunday after Pentecost. The Epistle. Rev. iv. 1.
AFTER this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts, full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a

FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
The Gospel. St. John, iii. 1.
THERE
THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be

FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it eth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his
i

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Second Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 John, iv. 7.
BELOVED, let us love one another: for
love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xvi. 19.
THERE was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day; and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the beggar

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.

THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
Third Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 John, iii. 13.
MARVEL not, my brethren, if the world
hate you.
We know that we have
passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him: for if our heart condemn -us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his commandment, That we should
i 2

THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xiv. 16.
CERTAIN man made a great supper,
A and bade many: and sent his servant at
supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and

FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
house may
compel them to come in, that my
be filled for I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Fourth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 Pet. v. 5.
ALL of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xv. 1.
THEN drew near unto him all the publicans
and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Rom. viii. 18.
I
RECKON that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope; because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
The Gospel. St. Luke, vi. 36.
BE ye therefore merciful, as your Father
shall also is merciful. Judge not, and ye not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken to

gether, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them: Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Sixth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 Pet. iii. 8.
BE ye all of one mind, having compassion
one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,

SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that whereas they speak evil of you, as of evil doers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
The Gospel. St. Luke, v. 1.
AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one

SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them: and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
Seventh Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Rom. vi. 3.
KNOW ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
k

SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
The Gospel. St. Matt. v. 20.
JESUS ESUS said unto his disciples, Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

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.

NINTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. So they did eat, and were filled and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets. And they that had eaten were about four thousand and he sent them away.
Ninth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Rom. viii. 12.
BRETHREN, we are debtors, not to the
flesh, to live after the flesh: for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit

NINTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The Gospel. St. Matt. vii. 15.
BEWARE of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits shall know them. Not every ye one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is
in heaven.

TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 Cor. x. 1.
BRETHREN, I would not that ye should
be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them: as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples; and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the

TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xvi. 1.
JESUS said unto his disciples, There was a
certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they -may receive me into their houses. So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how

ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 Cor. xii. 1.
CONCERNING spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know
that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord; and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the mani

ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
festation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xix. 41.
AND when he was come near, he beheld
the city, and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; saying unto them, It is written,

TWELFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, and could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 1 Cor. xv. 1.
BRETHREN, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures; and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve; after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that he was seen of James, then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one

TWELFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST.
born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore, whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xviii. 9.
JESUS spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast. twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY
Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. 2 Cor. iii. 4.
SUCH
UCH trust have we through Christ to Godward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God, who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
The Gospel. St. Mark, vii. 31.
ESUS departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude,

AFTER PENTECOST.
and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha: that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Gal. iii. 16.
To Abraham and his seed were the promises
made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added
1

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY
because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
The Gospel. St. Luke, x. 23.
BLESSED are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself,

AFTER PENTECOST.
said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said. He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY
Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Gal. v. 16.
I
SAY then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
The Gospel. St. Luke, xvii. 11.
AND it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered

AFTER PENTECOST.
into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off; and they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God; and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made
thee whole.
Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Gal. vi. 11.
YE E see how large a letter I have written
unto you with mine own hand. As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves
12

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY
who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
The Gospel. St. Matt. vi. 24.
No,
O man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns: yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought

AFTER PENTECOST.
can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ( for after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morBow for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Ephes. iii. 13.
I
DESIRE that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY
our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The Gospel. St. Luke, vii. 11.
AND it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the

AFTER PENTECOST.
bier; and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about.
Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Ephes. iv. 1.
I
THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY
The Gospel. St. Luke, xiv. 1.
IT T came to pass, as he went into the house
of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him and healed him, and let him go; and answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? And they could not answer him again to these things. And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him, and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

The Epistle. 1 Cor. i. 4.
THANK my
I
God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

THEN the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. While the Pha

TWENTIETH SUNDAY
risees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost.
The Epistle. Ephes. iv. 17.
THIS I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put

AFTER PENTECOST.
off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of mind; your and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole, steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice; and be ye kind one to another, tender- hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
The Gospel. St. Matt. ix. 1.
JESUS entered into a ship, and passed over,
And behold,
and came into his own city. they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,
m

TWENTY- FIRST SUNDAY
lying on a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? for whether is easier to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins( then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

The Epistle. Ephes. v. 15.
SEE
EE then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns

AFTER PENTECOST.
and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xxii. 1.
JESUS spake unto his disciples by parables,
and said: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise; and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof he was wroth; and he sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the mar

riage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment; and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth: for many are called, but few are chosen.

MY
Y brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil: for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye

AFTER PENTECOST.
may be able to withstand in the evil day; and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

THERE
THERE was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus

saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend; and they said unto him, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

THANK my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as

both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise
of God.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xviii. 21.
PETER said unto Jesus, Lord, how oft shall
my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, -one was brought unto him which owed him ten thousand talents; but forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and

TWENTY- THIRD SUNDAY
I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not; but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt because thou desiredst me: shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses..

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not? But Jesus per

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.

And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples. And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath

made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, he said unto them, Give place for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above ùnto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

The Epistle. 1 Thess. iv. 13, to v. 10.
I WOULD not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are

asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For

they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xxv. 31.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye. clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in Then shall the prison, and ye came unto me. righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or

thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily, I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
