and if tbere be any other com- 
mandment, it is briefly compre- 
hended 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 salva- 
tion nearer than Avben we be- 
lieved. The night is far spent, 
the day is at band; let us there- 
fore cast off the works of dark- 
ness, and let us put on the ar- 
mour 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.

two disciples, saying unto them, 
Go into the village over against 
you, and straightway ye sball 
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 sball say, 
the Lord hath need of them; 
and straightway he will send 
them. All this was done, that 
it might be fulfilled vvbich 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.

brought the ass, and the colt, 
and put on them their clothes, 
and thej set him thereon. And 
a very great multitude spread 
their garments in the way; 
others cut down branches from 
the trees, and strewed them in 
the way. And the multitudes 
that went before, and that fol-

was moved, saying. Who is

This is Jesus the prophet of 
Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus 
went into the tem{)le of God, 
and cast out all them that sold 
and bought in the temple, and 
overthrew the tables of the 
money-changers, and the seats 
of them that sold doves; and

The EpisVe. Rom. xv. 4.
 

WHATSOEVEE things 
were written aforetime, 
were written for our learning; 
that we through patience, and 
comfort of the Scriptures, might 
have hope. Now the God of 
patience and consolation grant 
you to be like-minded one to- 
wards another, according to 
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 Gen- 
tiles, 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 3'e 
may abound in hope, through 
the power of the Holy Ghost.

LET a man so account of us,

required in stewards, that a man 
be found faitliful. But with me 
it is a very small tbing that 
I should be judged of you, or of 
man's judgement: yea, I judge 
not mine own self For I know 
nothing by myself, yet am I not 
bereby justibed; but he that 
judgeth me is the Lord, There- 
fore judge nothing before the

The Gospel. St. John i. 19.
 

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 
])rophet ? And he answered. No. 
Then said they unto him. Who 
art thou ? that we may give an 
answer to them that sent us. 
AVhat saj^est thou of thyself .^ He 
said, I am the voice of one cry- 
ing 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 bap- 
tizest 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.

when he had by himself purged

Thou art my Son, this day have 
I begotten thee ? And again, 
I wnll be to him a Father, and he 
shall be to me a Son ? And again,

And let all the angels of God 
worship him. And of the angels

IN 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 anj- thing made 
that was made. In him was 
life; and the life was the light 
of men. And the light shineth 
in darkness; 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, and the world 
knew him not. He came unto 
his own, and his own received 
him not. But as many as re- 
ceived 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

and what shall this man do.^ 
Jesus saith unto him, If I will 
that he ÌAxry till I come, what 
is that to thee.^ follow thou me. 
Then went this saying abroad 
among the brethren, That that 
disciple should not die: yet 
Jesus said not unto him, He 
shall not die; but, If I will that 
he tarry till I come, what is that 
to thee? This is the disciple 
which testifieth of these things, 
and wrote these things: and we 
know that his testimony is true. 
And there are also many other 
things which Jesus did, the 
which if they should be written 
every one, I suppose that even 
the world itself could not con- 
tain the books that should be 
written.

I LOOKED, and, lo, a Lamb 
stood on the mount Sion, 
and with him an hundred forty 
and four thousand, having his 
Father's name written in their 
foreheads. And I heard a voice 
from heaven, as the voice of 
many waters, and as the voice 
of a great thunder: and I heard 
the voice of harpers harping with 
their harps: and they sung as 
it were a new song before the 
throne, and before the four 
beasts, and the elders; and no 
man could learn that song but 
the hundred and forty and four 
thousand, which were redeemed 
from the earth. These are they 
which were not defiled with 
women, for they are virgins: 
These are the}^ Avhich follow th^; 
Lamb whithersoever he goetli. 
These were redeemed from 
among men, being the first-fruits 
unto God, and to the Lamb. 
And in their mouth was found 
no guile; for they are without 
fault before the throne of God.

The Gospel. St. Matt. i. 18.
 

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 Gho.st. Then 
Joseph her husband, being a 
just man, and not willing to 
make her a publick example, was 
minded to put her away privil^^ 
But while he thought on these 
things, behold, the 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,

shepherds said one to another. 
Let us now go even unto Beth- 
lehem, and see this thing which 
is come to pass, which the 
Lord hath made known unto 
us. And they came with baste, 
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, 
glorif^nng 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 be-

The Gospel St. Matt. ii. 1.
 

WHEX Jesus was born in 
Bethlehem of Judea, in 
j the days of Herod the king, be- 
I hold, there came wise men from 
the east to Jerusalem, saying. 
Where is he that is born King 
of the Jews ? for we have seen 
his star in the east, and are come 
to worship him. When Herod 
the king had heard these things, 
he was troubled, and all Jeru- 
salem with him. And when he 
had gathered all the chief priests 
and scribes of the people to- 
I gether, he demanded of them, 
where Christ should be born. 
And they said unto him. In 
Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it 
is written by the prophet. And 
thou Bethlehem, in the land of 
Juda, art not the least among 
the princes of Juda: for out of 
thee shall come a Governor, that 
shall rule my people Israel. 
Then Herod, when he had privily 
called the wise men, inquired of 
them diligently what time the 
star appeared. And he sent 
them to Bethlehem: and said, 
Go and search diligently for the 
young child; and when ye have 
found hira, bring me word again,

NOW his parents went to Je-

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 returned, 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, seek- 
ing 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 un- 
derstanding and answers. And 
when they saw him, they were

Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst

the priest, and oiler the gift that 
Moses commanded, for a testi-

Jesus was entered into Caper-

saying, Lord, my servant lieth

saith unto him, I will come and 
heal him. The centurion an-

not worthy that thou shouldst 
come under my roof: but speak 
I the word onh^ and my servant 
j shall be healed. For I am a 
I man under authority, having 
I 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 
I Jesus heard it, he marvelled, 
and said to them that followed, 
Yerily 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 
east and west, and shall sit 
down wdth Abraham, and Isaac, 
and Jacob, in the kingdom of 
heaven. But the children of 
the kingdom shall be cast out 
into outer darkness: there shall 
be weeping and gnashing oi 
teeth. And Jesus said snto 
the centurion. Go thy way, and 
as thou hast believed, so be it 
done unto thee. And his ser- 
vant was healed in the seU-same

The Collect.
 

OGOD, who knowest us to 
be set in the midst of so 
many and great dangers, that 
by reason of the frailty of our 
nature we cannot always stand 
upright; Grant to us such 
strength and protection, as may 
support us in all dangers, and 
carry us through all tempta- 
tions; through Jesus Christ our 
Lord. Amen.
 



The Epidle. Rom. xiii. 1.
 

LET every soul be subject 
unto the higher powers; 
for there is no power but of 
God: the powers that be are 
ordained of God. Whosoever 
therefore resisteth the power 
resisteth the ordinance of God: 
and they that resist shall re- 
ceive 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 be is 
the minister of God to thee 
for good. But if thou do that 
which is evil, be afraid; for 
be beareth not the sword in 
vain: for be 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 conscience sake. 
For, for this cause pay ye tri- 
bute also; for the}'- are God's 
ministers, attending continually 
upon this very thing. Render 
therefore to all their dues; tri- 
bute to whom tribute is due,

The Gospel. St. Matt. viii. 23.
 

AXD when be was entered 
into a sbip, his disciples fol- 
lowed him. And, behold, tbere 
arose a great tempest in the 
sea, insomuch that the sbip was 
covered with the waves; but be 
was asleep. And his disciples 
came to him, and awoke him, 
saj'ing, Lord, save us; we perish. 
And be saith unto them, Wby 
are ye fearful, ye of little 
faith ? Then he arose, and re- 
buked the winds and the sea; 
and there was a great calm. 
But the men marvelled, saying, 
Wbat manner of man is this, 
that even the winds and the sea 
obey him 1 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 
tbere was a good way oiF from 
them an herd of many swine 
feeding. So the devils besought 
him, saying, If thou cast us out, 
sutier us to go away into the herd 
of swine. And he said unto 
them. Go. 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

BEHOLD, what manner of 
love the Father hath be- 
stowed upon us, that we should 
be called the sons of God: 
therefore the world knoweth us 
not, because it knew him not. 
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 sin- 
neth not: whosoever sinneth, 
hath not seen him, neither 
known him. Little children, let 
no man deceive you: he that 
doeth righteousness is righte- 
ous 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 de- 
stroy the works of the devil.

THEN if an}' man shall say 
unto you. 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 pos- 
sible, 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: Be- 
hold, he is in the secret cham- 
bers; 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 where- 
soever the carcase is, there will 
the eagles be gathered together. 
Immediately after the tribula- 
tion of those days shall the sun 
be darkened, and the moon shall 
not give her light, and the stars 
shall fall fi'om 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.

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 in all 
things. Now they do it to ob- 
tain a corruptible crown; but we 
an incorruptible. I tberefore 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 cast-away.
 



The Gospel St. Isl&ii. xx. 1.
 

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 be bad agreed witb the 
labourers for a penny a-day, be 
sent them into his vineyard. 
And be went out about the third 
hour, and saw others standing 
idle in the market-place, and 
said unto them. Go 3"e also into 
the vineyard, and whatsoever is 
right, I will give you. And they 
went their way. Again be went 
out about the sixth and ninth 
hour, and did likewise. And 
about the eleventh bour he went 
out, and found otbers standing 
idle, and saitb unto ihem, 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 vinej'^ard saith unto 
his steward. Call the labourers, 
and give them their hire, be- 
ginning from the last unto the 
first. And when they came that 
were hired about the eleventh 
hour, they received every man 
a penny. Bat 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 good man 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 lio 
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.

more; in labours more abun- 
dant, in stripes above measure, 
in prisons more frequent, in 
deaths oft. Of the Jews five 
times received I forty stripes

with rods, once was I stoned, 
thrice I suffered shipwreck, a

The Gospel. St. Luke viii. 4.
 

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 wdth 
it, and choked it. And others 
fell on good ground, and sprang 
up, and bare fruit an hundred- 
fold. 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

are they, which, when the}' hear, 
receive the word with joy; and 
these have no root, which for

temptation fall away. And that 
which fell among thorns are 
they, which, when they have

with cares and riches and plea-

THOUGH I speak with the 
tongues of men and of 
angels, and have not charity, 
I am become as sounding brass, 
or a tinkling cymbal. And 
though I have the gift of pro- 
phecy, and understand all m3's- 
teries, and all knowledge; and 
though I have all faith, so 
that I could remove mountains, 
and have not charity, I am no- 
thing. And though I bestow 
all my goods to feed the 
poor, and though I give my 
body to be burnsd, and have 
not charity, it profiteth me no- 
thing. Charity sutfereth long, 
and is kind; charity envieth 
not; charit}'- vaunteth not it- 
self, is not puffed up, doth not 
behave itself unseemly, seek- 
eth not lier own, is not easily 
provoked, thinketh no evil; re- 
joiceth 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 prophe- 
cies, they shall fail; whether 
there be tongues, they shall 
cease; whether there be know- 
ledge, it shall vanish away. For 
we know in part, and we pro- 
phes}' in part. But when that 
which is perfect is come, then 
that which is in part shall be 
done awa3\ When I was a 
child, I spake as a child, I un- 
derstood as a child, 1 thought 
as a child; but when I be- 
came a man, I put away childish 
things. For now we see through 
a glass, darkly; but then face 
to face: now 1 know in part; 
but then shall 1 know even as 
also I am known. And now

THEN Jesus took unto him 
the twelve, and said unto 
them, Behold, we go up to 
Jerusalem, and all things that 
are written b}' the prophets con- 
cerning the Son of man shall be 
accomplished. For he sball 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 multi- 
tude 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 com- 
manded him to be brought unto 
him: and when he was come 
, near, be asked him, saying, 
I What wilt thou that I should do

the Lord, with all your 
heart, and with fasting, and 
with weeping, and with mourn- 
ing; and rend your heart, and 
not your garments, and turn 
unto the Lord your God: for 
he is gracious and merciful, slow 
to anger, and of great kindness, 
and repenteth him of the evil. 
Who knoweth if he will return

The Go^-pel St. Matt. vi. 16.
 

WHEN ye fast, be not as 
the hypocrites, of a sad 
countenance: for they disfigure 
their fices, that they may ap- 
pear unto men to fast. Verily I 
say unto you. They have their 
reward. But thou, when thou 
fastest, anoint thine head, and 
wash t\iy face; that thou appear 
not unto men to fast, but unto 
thy Father which is in secret: 
and thy Father, which seeth in 
secret, shall reward thee openly. 
Lay not up for yourselves trea- 
sures upon earth, w^here moth 
and rust doth corrupt, and 
Avhere thieves break tbi-ougb 
and steal: but lay up for your- 
selves treasures in heaven, where 
neither moth nor rust doth cor- 
rupt, and where thieves do not 
break through nor steal: For 
where your treasvire is, there 
will your heart be also.

And wben the tempter came to

of God. Then the devil taketh 
bim up into the holy cit}', and

thyself down; for it is written, 
He shall give his angels charge

hands they sball bear thee up, 
lest at any time thou dash thy 
foot against a stone. Jesus 
said unto him, It is wi'itten 
again, Thou shalt not tempt the 
Lord thy God. Again, the de- 
vil taketh him up into an ex- 
ceeding high mountain, and 
sheweth him all the kingdoms 
of the world, and the glory of

thou wilt fall down and worship

from fornication; that every 
one of you should know how 
to possess his vessel in sancti- 
firation and honour; not in 
the lust of concupiscence, even 
as the Gentiles which know 
not God; that no man go be-

Then came she and worship-

It is not meet to take the

it to dogs. And she said, 
Truth, Lord; yet the dogs eat 
of the crumbs which fall from 
their master's table. Then Je-

The Gospel. St. Luke xi. 14.
 

JESUS was casting out a 
devil, and it was dumb. 
And it came to pass, wben the 
devil was gone out, the dumb 
spake; and the people won- 
dered. But some of them said, 
He casteth out devils tbrough 
Beelzebub, the cbief of the 
devils. And otbers, tempting 
bim, sougbt of him a sign 
from beaven. Bat be, know- 
ing tbeir thoughts, said unto 
them, Every kingdom divided 
against itself is brougbt to de- 
solation; and a bouse divided 
against a bouse falletb. If Sa- 
tan also be divided against him- 
self, bow sball his kingdom 
stand ? because ye say, that I 
cast out devils tbrough Beelze- 
bub. And if I by Beelzebub 
cast out devils, by whom do 
your sons cast them out.^^ there- 
fore sball they be your judges. 
But if 1 with the linger of 
God cast out devils, no doubt 
the kingdom of God is come 
upon you. When a strong 
man armed keepeth his pa- 
lace, his goods are in peace; 
but when a stronger than he 
sball come upon him, and over- 
come him, he taketh irom him 
all his armour wherein he trust- 
ed, and divideth his spoils. 
He that is not with me is a- 
gainst me: and be that ga- 
tbereth not with me scattereth. 
Wben the unclean sjurit is 
gone out of a man, he walketh 
through dry places, seeking rest; 
and tinding none, be saith, I 
Avill return unto my house 
whence I came out. And when

JESUS went over the sea of

saw his miracles which he did 
on them that were diseased. 
And Jesus went up into a moun-

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

LET this mind be in you, 
which was also in Christ 
Jesus: who, being in the form of 
God, thought it not robbery to 
be equal with God; but made 
himself of no reputation, and 
took upon him the form of a 
servant, and was made in the 
likeness of men: and being found 
in fashion as a man, he humbled 
himself, and became obedient 
unto death, even the death of 
the cross. Wherefore God also 
' hath highl}- exalted him, and 
I given him a name which is above 
every name; that at the name 
of Jesus every knee should bow, 
of things in heaven, and things 
in earth, and things under the 
earth; and that every tongue 
should confess that Jesus Christ 
is Lord, to the glory of God the 
Father.

Then Judas, which had betrayed

down the pieces of silver in the 
temple, and departed, and went 
and banged himself And the 
chief priests took the silver 
pieces, and said. It is not lawful 
for to put them into the treasury-, 
because it is the price of blood. 
And they took counsel, and 
bought with them the potter's 
field, to bury strangers in. 
Wherefore that field was called, 
The field of blood, unto this 
day. (Then was fulfilled that 
which was spoken by Jeremy the 
prophet, saj'ing, And they took 
the thirty pieces of silver, the 
price of him that was valued, 
whom they of the children of 
Israel did value; and gave them 
for the potter's field, as the Lord 
appointed me.) And Jesus stood 
before the governor; and the 
governor asked him, saying. Art 
thou the King of the Jews ? 
And Jesus said unto him. Thou 
sayest. And when be was ac- 
cused of the chief priests and 
elders, be answered nothing. 
Then saith Pilate unto him, 
Hearcst thou not how many 
things they witness against thee ? 
And he answered him to never 
a word; insomuch that the 
governor marvelled greatl}'. 
Now at that feast the governor 
was wont to release unto the 
people a prisoner, whom they 
would. And they bad then a 
notable prisoner, called Barab- 
bas. Therefore, when they were 
gathered together, Pilate said 
unto them, Whom will 3'e that

or Jesus which is called Christ.^

had delivered him. When be

have suffered man}' things this 
day in a dream because of him. 
But the chief priests and elders 
persuaded the multitude that 
they should ask Barabbas, and 
destroy Jesus. The governor 
answered and said unto them, 
Whether of the twain will 
ye that I release unto you? 
They said, Barabbas. Pilate 
saith unto them. What shall I 
do then with Jesus, which is 
called Christ? They all say 
unto him, Let him be crucified. 
And the governor said, Why, 
what evil hath he done? But 
they cried out the more, saying, 
Let him be crucified. When 
Pilate saw that he could prevail 
nothing, but that rather a tumult 
was made, he took water, and 
washed his hands before the 
' multitude, saying, I am innocent 
of the blood of this just person: 
see ye to it. Then answered all 
the people, and said. His blood 
be on us, and on our children. 
Then released he Barabbas unto 
Ì them: and when he had scourged 
i Jesus, he delivered him to be 
i crucified. Then the soldiers of 
the governor took Jesus into the 
I common hall, and gathered unto 
[ him the whole band of soldiers, 
! And they stripped him, and put

when they had platted a crown

And they spit upon him, and

as they came out, they found 
a man of Cyrene, Simon by 
name; him they compelled to 
bear his cross. And when they 
were come unto a place called 
Golgotha, that is to say, A place 
of a scull, they gave him vine- 
gar to drink mingled with gall: 
and when be had tasted thereof, 
be would not drink. And they 
crucified him, and parted his 
garments, casting lots; that it 
might be fulfilled which was 
spoken by the prophet, They 
parted my garments among 
them, and upon my vesture did 
they cast lots. And sitting 
down, they watched him there; 
and set up over his bead this 
accusation written, THIS IS 
JESUS THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. Then were there two 
thieves crucified with him; one 
on the right hand, and another 
on the left. And they that 
passed by reviled him, wagging 
their heads, and saying. Thou 
that destroy est the temple, and 
buildest it in three days, save 
thyself. If thou be the Son of 
God, come down from the cross. 
Likewise also the chief priests 
mocking him, with the scribes 
and elders, said, He saved 
others, himself he cannot save. 
If be be the King of Israel, let 
him now come down from the 
cross, and we will believe him. 
He trusted in God; let him 
deliver him now, if be will have 
him: for he said, I am the Son 
of God. The thieves also, 
which were crucified with him, 
cast the same in his teeth. 
Now from the sixth hour there 
was darkness over all the land 
unto the ninth hour. And 
about the ninth hour Jesus 
ci-ied with a loud voice, saying,

that is to say, My God, My God, 
why hast thou forsaken me ? 
Some of them that stood there, 
when they heard that, said, 
This man calleth for Elias. 
And straightway one of them 
ran, and took a spunge, and 
filled it with vinegar, and put it 
on a reed, and gave him to 
drink. The rest said. Let be, 
let us see whether Elias will 
come to save him. Jesus, when 
he had cried again with a loud 
voice, yielded up the ghost. 
And, behold, the veil of the 
temple was rent in twain from 
the top to the bottom; and the 
earth did quake, and the rocks 
rent; and the graves were 
opened; and many bodies of 
the saints which slept arose, 
and came out of the graves after 
his resurrection, and went into 
the holy city, and appeared unto 
many. Now when the cen- 
turion, and they that were with 
him, watching Jesus, saw the

that were done, they feared 
greatly, saying, Truly this was

Where is be that brought them

him by craft, and put blm to 
death. But they said. Not on 
the feast-daj^ lest there be an 
uproar of the people. And be- 
ing in Bethany, in the house 
of Simon the leper, as he sat 
at meat, there came a woman 
having an alabaster box of oint- 
ment of spikenard, very preci- 
ous; and she brake the box, 
and poured it on his head. And 
there were some that had indig- 
nation within themselves, and 
said, Why was this waste of the 
ointment made ? for it misrht 
have been sold for more than 
three hundred pence, and have 
been given to the poor: and 
they murmured against her. 
And Jesus said. Let her alone; 
why trouble ye her? she hath 
wrought a good work on me: 
for ye have the poor with you 
always, and whensoever ye will 
ye may do them good; but me 
ye have not always. She hath 
done what she could; she is 
come aforehand to anoint my 
body to the burying. Verily 
I say unto you, Wheresoever 
this Gospel shall be preached 
throughout the whole world, 
this also that she hath done 
shall be spoken of for a memo- 
rial of her. And Judas Iscariot, 
one of the twelve, went unto 
the chief priests to betra}' him 
unto them. And when they 
heard it they were glad, and 
promised to give him money. 
And he sought how he might 
conveniently betray him. And 
the first day of unleavened 
bread, when they killed the 
passover, his disciples said unto 
him. Where wilt thou that we 
go and prepare, that thou may- 
est eat the passover ? And he 
I sendeth forth two of his dis-

city, and found as he had said 
unto them: and they made rea-

evening he cometh with the 
twelve. And as they sat and 
did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say 
unto you, One of you Avhich 
eateth with me shall betray me. 
And they began to be sorrow- 
ful, and to say unto him, one by 
one. Is it I ? and another said. 
Is it I ? And be answered and 
said unto them, It is one of the 
twelve that dippeth with me in

him: but wo to that man by 
whom the Son of Man is be-

man if he had never been born. 
And as they did eat, Jesus took 
bread, and blessed, and brake 
it, and gave to them, and said, 
Take, eat: this is my body. 
And he took the cup, and when 
he had given thanks he gave 
it to them: and the}" all drank 
of it. And he said unto them. 
This is my blood of the new- 
testament, which is shed for 
many. Verily I saj^ unto you, 
I will drink no more of the 
fruit of the vine, until that 
day that I drink it new in the

shall be scattered. But, after 
that I am risen, I will go be-

not I. And Jesus saith unto 
him, Verily I say unto thee, 
That this day, even in this 
night, before the cock crow 
twice, thou shalt deny me 
thrice. But he spake the more 
vehemently. If I should die 
with thee, I will not deny thee 
in any wise. Likewise also said 
they all. And they came to a 
place which was named Geth-

disciples, Sit ye here, while I 
shall pray. And he taketh with 
him, Peter and James, and 
John, and began to be sore 
amazed, and to be very heavy, 
and saith unto them. My soul is 
exceeding sorrowful unto death: 
tarry ye here, and watch. And 
he went forward a little, and 
fell on the ground, and pray-

the hour might pass from him. 
And he said, Abba, Father, all

nevertheless, not what I will,

Cometh and findeth them sleep-

sought for witness against Je- 
sus to put him to death; and 
found none. For many bare 
false witness against him, but 
their witness agreed not toge- 
ther. And there arose certain, 
and bare false witness agiinst 
him, saying. We heard him say, 
I will destroy this temple that 
is made with hands, and within 
three days I will build another 
made without hands. But nei- 
ther so did their witness agree 
together. And the high priest 
stood up in the midst, and 
asked Jesus, saying, Answerest 
thou nothing ? what is it which 
these witness against thee ? But 
he held his peace, and answered 
nothing. Again the high priest 
asked him, and said unto him. 
Art thou the Christ, the Son of 
the Blessed.? And Jesus said, 
I am; and ye shall see the Son 
of Man sitting on the right 
hand of power, and coming in 
the clouds of heaven. Then 
the high priest rent his clothes, 
and saith, What need we any 
further witnesses ? ye have 
heard the blasphemy: what 
think ye ? And they all con- 
demned him to be guilty of 
death. And some began to spit 
on him, and to cover his face, 
and to buffet him, and to sa}' 
unto him. Prophesy: and the 
servants did strike him with the 
palms of their hands. And as 
Peter was beneath in the palace 
there cometh one of the maids

so that Pilate marvelled. Now 
at that feast be released unto 
them one prisoner, whomsoever 
they desired. And there was 
one named Barabbas, which lay 
bound with them that had made 
insurrection with him, who bad 
committed murder in the insur- 
rection. And the multitude, 
crying aloud, began to desire 
him to do as he had ever done 
unto them. But Pilate an- 
swered them, saying, Will ye 
that I release unto 3'ou the King 
of the Jews ? (for he knew that 
the chief priests had delivered 
him for envy.) But the chief 
priests moved the people, that 
he should rather release Barab- 
bas unto them. And Pilate 
answered, and said again unto 
them. What will ye then that I 
shall do unto him whom ye call 
the King of the Jews ? And 
they cried out again, Crucify 
him. Then Pilate said unto 
them, Why, what evil hath he 
done ? And they cried out the 
more exceedingly, Crucify him. 
And so Pilate, willing to content 
the people, released Barabbas 
unto them, and delivered Jesus, 
when he had scourged him, to 
be crucified. And the soldiers 
led him away into the hall called 
Pretorium; and the}^ call to- 
gether the whole band. And 
they clothed him with purple, 
and platted a crown of thorns, 
and put it about his head; and 
began to salute him. Hail, King 
of the Jews ! And tliey smote 
him on the head with a reed, 
and did spit upon him, and, 
bowing their knees, worshipped 
him. And when they had 
mocked him, they took off the 
purple from him, and put his 
own clothes on him, and led him

to drink wine mingled with 
myrrh: but he received it not. 
And when they had crucified 
him, they parted his garments, 
casting lots upon them, what 
every man should take. And 
it was the third hour, and they 
crucified him. And the super- 
scription of his accusation was 
written over, THE KING OF 
THE JEWS. And with him 
they crucify two thieves; the 
one on his right hand, and the 
other on his left. And the 
Scripture was fulfilled, which 
saith, And he was numbered 
with the transgressors. And they 
that passed by railed on him, 
wagging their heads, and saying, 
Ah, thou that destroyest the 
temple, and buildest it in three 
days, save thyself, and come 
down from the cross. Likewise 
also the chief priests, mocking, 
said among themselves, wdth the 
scribes, He saved others; him- 
self he cannot save. Let Christ 
the King of Israel descend now 
from the cross, that w-e maj^ see

WHERE a testament is, 
there must also of neces- 
sity be the death of the testator: 
For a testament is of force after 
men are dead; otherwise it is of 
no strength at all whilst the tes- 
tator 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 en- 
joined unto you. Moreover, he 
i sprinkled with blood both the

things are by the law purged 
with blood; and without shed- 
ding of blood is no remission. 
It was therefore necessary that 
the patterns of things in the hea- 
vens should be purified with 
these; but the heaven h- 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 suf- 
fered since the foundation of the 
world: but now once, in the 
end of the world hath he ap- 
peared to put away sin by the 
sacrifice of himself. And as it 
is appointed unto men once to 
die, but after this the judge- 
ment: so Christ w^as once offered 
to bear the sins of many; and 
unto them that look for him shall 
he appear the second time with- 
out sin, unto salvation.

When I sent you without purse, 
and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye 
any thing ? And they said. No- 
thing. Then said he unto them, 
But now, he that hath a purse, 
let him take it, and likewise his 
scrip: and he that hath no 
sword, let him sell his garment, 
and buy one. For I say unto 
you. That this that is written 
must yet be accomplished in me, 
And he was reckoned among the 
transgressors: for the things 
concerning me have an end. 
And they said, Lord, behold, 
here are two swords. And he 
said unto them, It is enough. 
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 falling down to 
the ground. And when he rose 
up 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

Son of man with a kiss? When 
they who 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 \& 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, who 
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 tlfe 
midst of the hall, and were set 
down together, Peter sat down 
among them. But a certain 
maid beheld him 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, 1 
know him not. And after a lit- 
tle 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 say est. 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

shalt deny me thrice. And 
Peter went out, and wept bit- 
terly. And the men that held 
Jesus mocked him, and smote 
him. And when they had blind- 
folded him, they struck him on 
the face, and asked him, saying, 
Prophesy, who is it that smote 
thee ? And many other things 
blasphemously spake they against 
him. And as soon as it was 
day, the elders of the people and 
the chief priests and the scribes 
came together, and led him unto 
their council, saying. Art thou 
the Christ ? tell us. And he 
said unto them. If I tell you, yQ 
will not believe: and if I also 
ask you, ye will not answer me, 
nor let me go. Hereafter shall 
the Son of man sit on the right 
hand of the power of God. 
Then said they all. Art thou 
then the Son of God ? And he 
said unto them, Ye say that I 
am. And they said, AVhat need 
we any further witness ? for we 
ourselves have heard of his own 
mouth.

Thursday hefore Easter. 
The Epistle. 1 Cor. xi. 1 7.
 

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 toge- 
ther in the church, I hear that 
there be divisions among you, 
and I partly believe it. For 
there must be also heresies 
among you, that the}^ who ai'e 
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 
bis own supper; and one is 
bungr}', and another is drunken. 
What, have ye not houses to 
eat and to drink in.^ or de- 
spise 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 betra3'ed, 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 tes- 
tament in my blood: this do ye, 
as oft as ye drink it, in remem- 
brance of me. For as often as 
ye eat this bread, and drink 
this cup, ye do shew the Lord's 
death till he come. AVherefore, 
whosoever shall eat this bread, 
and drink this cup of the Lord, 
unworthily, shall be guilty of 
the bodv and blood of the Lord.

But let a man examine him- 
self, and so let him eat of that 
bread, and drink of that cup. 
For he that eateth and drink- 
eth 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 toge- 
ther unto condemnation. And 
the rest will I set iu order when 
I come.

unto Pilate. And they began to 
accuse him, saying, We found 
this fellow perverting the na- 
tion, and forbidding to give tri- 
bute to Ca3sar, saying. That he 
himself is Clirist a King. And 
Pilate asked him, saying, Art 
thou the King of the Jews ? 
And he answered him, and said. 
Thou sayest it. Then said Pi- 
late to the cliief priests, and to

Agus an uair a ehunnaic Herod

esan fhaicinn, do bhrigh gu'n

Pilat agus Herod 'nan càirdibh

out all Jewry, beginning from 
Galilee to this place. When Pi- 
late heard of Galilee, he asked 
whether the man were a Gali- 
lean. And as soon as he knew 
that he belonged unto Herod's 
jurisdiction, he sent him to He- 
rod, who himself was also at 
Jerusalem at that time. And 
when Herod saw Jesus he was 
exceeding glad; for he was de- 
sirous to see him of a long 
season, because he had heard 
many things of him; and he 
hoped to have seen some mi- 
racle done by him. Then he 
questioned with him in many 
words; but he answered him 
nothing. And the chief priests 
and scribes stood and vehe- 
mently accused him. And He- 
rod with his men of war se*t him 
at nought, and mocked him, 
and arrayed him in a gorgeous 
robe, and sent him again to Pi- 
late. And the same day Pilate 
and Herod were made friends 
together; for before they were 
at enmity between themselves. 
And Pilate, when he had called 
together the chief priests, and 
the rulers, and the people, said 
unto them, Ye have brought 
this man unto me, as one that 
perverteth the people: and be- 
hold, I, having examined him 
before you, have found no fault 
in this man touching those 
things whereof ye accuse him: 
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent 
you to him; and lo, nothing 
worthy of death is done unto 
him. I will therefore chastise 
him, and release him. For of 
necessity he must release one 
unto them at the feast. And 
they cried out all at once, say- 
ing. Away with this man, and

they crucified him; and the 
malefactors, one on the right 
hand, and the other on the left. 
Then said Jesus, Father, for- 
give them, for they know not 
what they do. And they parted 
his raiment, and cast lots. And 
the people stood beholding; and 
the rulers also with them de- 
rided him, saying, He saved 
others; let him save himself, if 
he be Christ, the chosen of God. 
And the soldiers also mocked 
him, coming to him, and offer- 
ing him vinegar, and saying. If 
thou be the King of the Jews, 
save thyself. And a superscrip- 
tion also was written over him 
in letters of Greek, and Latin, 
and Hebrew, THIS IS THE 
KING OF THE JEWS. And 
one of the malefactors, which 
were hanged, railed on him, 
saying, If thou, be Christ, save 
thyself, and us. But the other 
ansv/ering rebuked him, saying. 
Dost not thou fear God, seeing 
thou art in the same condem-

for we receive the due reward 
of our deeds, but this man hath 
done nothing amiss. And he 
said unto Jesus, Lord, remem-

unto him, Verily I say unto 
thee, To-day shalt thou be with 
me in paradise. And it was 
about the sixth hour: and there 
was a darkness over all the 
earth until the ninth hour. And 
the sun was darkened, and the

take away sins: But this man, 
after he had offered one sacri-

thorns, and put it on his head, 
and they put on him a purplr-

with their hands. Pilate there-

unto them. Behold, I bring 
him forth to you, that ye may 
know that I find no fault in

Fhreagair na h-Iudhaich e, Tha

air son gu'n d'rinn e Mac dhe

mhoide bha dh' eagal air; agus 
cliaidh e steach a ris a dh' ait a' 
bhreitlieanais, agus a deir e ri 
h-Iosa, Cia as duit ? Ach cha d' 
thug Iosa freagradh air. An sin

gu'm bheil cumhachd agam-sa

sin an tia thug mise thairis dhuit, 
tha aige-san am peacadh a's mo. 
Agus o sin suas dh' iarr Pilat a

tu am fear so fa sgaoil; cha 
charaid thu do Cheasar: ge b'e

they cried out, saying. Crucify 
him, crucily him, Pilate saith 
unto them, Take ye him, and 
crucifj' him: for I find no fault 
in hiui. The Jews answered 
him. We have a hiw, and by 
our law he ought to die, be- 
cause he made himself the Son 
of God. When Pilate therefore 
heard that saying, he was the 
more afraid; and went again 
into the judgement-hall, and 
saith unto Jesus, Whence art 
thou ? But Jesus gave him no 
answer. Then saith Pilate un- 
to him, Speakest thou not unto 
me P 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 thence- 
forth Pilate sought to release 
him: but the Jews cried out, 
saying. If thou let this man go, 
thou art not Caesar's friend: 
whosoever maketh himself a 
king speaketh against Cajsar. 
When Pilate therefore heard 
that saying, he brought Jesus 
forth, and sat down in the 
judgement-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, Awa}' 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 Ca?sar. Then deliver- 
ed 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 scull, 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 man}' of 
the Jews: for the place where 
Jesus was crucified was nigh 
to the city: and it was written 
in Hebrew, and Greek, and La- 
I tin. Then said the chief priests 
i of the Jews to Pilate, Write 
not, The King of the Jews; but 
that he said, 1 am the King of 
the Jews. Pilate answered, 
What 1 have written, 1 have 
written. Then the soldiers, 
when they had crucified 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 through- 
out. The}' 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 Je- 
sus, his mother, and his mo- 
ther's sister, I\Iary the wife of 
Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 
When Jesus therefore saw his 
mother, and the disciple stand- 
ing by, whom he loved, he 
saith unto his mother, Woman, 
behold th}^ son. Then saith 
he to the disciple. Behold thy 
mother. And from that hour 
that disciple took her unto his

knowing that all tbings were 
now accomplished, that the 
Scripture migbt be fulfilled, 
saith, I tbirst. Now there was 
set a vessel full of vinegar: and 
thej filled a spunge with vine- 
gar, and put it upon hyssop, 
and put it to his mouth. When 
Jesus therefore bad received the 
vinegar, be 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 sabbath-day was an high 
day,) besought Pilate thfit 
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 wa- 
ter. And be that saw it bare 
record, and his record is true; 
and be knoweth that be 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 t^iey

IT is better, if the will of God 
be so, that ye suffer for 
well-doing, tban for evil-doing. 
For Christ also batb once suf- 
fered for sins, the just for the 
unjust, that he might bring us 
to God, being put to deatb in 
the flesh, but quickened by the 
Spirit: by which also be went 
and preached unto the spirits 
in prison; which sometime 
were disobedient, when once 
the long-suffering 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 fi- 
gure wbereunto, even baptism, 
doth also now'save us (not the 
putting away of the filth of the 
flesh, but the answer of a good 
conscience towards 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

The Go.^peL St. Matt, xxvii. 57.
 

WHEX the even was come, 
there came a rich man 
of Arimathsea, named Joseph, 
who also himself was Jesus' 
disciple: he went to Pilate, 
and begged the bod}-- of Jesus. 
Then Pilate commanded the 
body to be delivered. And 
when Joseph had taken the 
bodj^ 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 Magda- 
lene, and the other Mar}^ sit- 
ting over against the sepulchre. 
Xow the next day, that follow- 
ed 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.

God sent unto the children of 
Israel, preaching peace by Je- 
sus Christ; (be is Lord of all;) 
that word, (I say,) ye know, 
wbich was published throughout 
all Judsea, and began from Ga- 
lilee, after the baptism which 
Jobn preached: how God 
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with 
the Holy Ghost and with power; 
who went about doing good, 
and healing all that were op- 
pressed of the devil: for God 
was with him. And we are 
witnesses of all things which he 
did, both in the land of the 
Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom 
they slew and banged on a tree: 
Him God raised up the third 
day, and shewed him openly; 
not to all the people, but unto 
witnesses chosen before of God, 
even to us, who did eat and 
drink with him after he rose 
from the dead. And he com- 
manded us to preach unto the 
people, and to testify that it is 
he who was ordained of God 
to be the Judge of quick and 
dead. To him gave all the 
prophets witness, that through 
his name whosoever believeth 
in him shall receive remission 
of sins.

BEHOLD, two of his disci-

to a village called Emmaus, 
which was from Jerusalem 
about threescore furlongs. And 
tbey talked together of all these

And it came to pass, that while 
they communed together, and

they said unto him. Concerning 
Jesus of ISTazareth, who was a 
prophet mighty in deed and

people: And how the chief 
priests and our rulers deliver- 
ed him to be condemned to 
death, and have crucified him. 
But we trusted that it had 
been be which should have 
redeemed Israel: and besides 
all this, to-day is the third 
day since these things were 
done. Yea, and certain wo- 
men also of our company made 
us astonished, which were 
early at the sepulchre; and 
when they found not his body, 
they came, saying, that they 
had also seen a vision of an- 
gels, which said that he was 
alive. And certain of them 
which were with us went to 
the sepulchre, and found it 
even so as the women had 
said; but him they saw not. 
Then said he unto them, 
fools, and slow of heart to be- 
lieve all that the prophets have 
spoken: ought not Christ to 
have suffered these things, and 
to enter into his glory ? And 
beginning at Moses, and all the 
prophets, he expounded unto 
them in all the Scriptures 
the things concerning himself.

For the Epklle. Acts xiii. 26.
 

MEN and brethren, children 
of the stock of Abraham, 
and whosoever among you fear- 
eth God, to 3'ou is the word of 
this salvation sent. For they 
that dwell at Jerusalem, and 
their rulers, because they knew 
him not, nor yet the voices of 
the prophets which are read 
every sabbath-day, they have 
fulfilled them in condemning 
him. And though they found 
no cause of death in him, yet 
desired they Pilate that he 
should be slain. And when 
they had fulfilled all that was 
written of him, they took him 
down from the tree, and laid 
him in a sepulchre. But God 
raised him from the dead: and 
he was seen many days of them 
which came up with him from 
Galilee to Jerusalem, who are 
his witnesses unto the people. 
And we declare unto you glad 
tidings, how that the promise 
which was made unto the fa- 
thers, God hath fulfilled the 
same unto us their children, in 
that be bath raised up Jesus 
again; as it is also written in 
the second Psalm, Thou art my 
Son, this day have I begotten 
thee. And as concerning that 
he raised him up from the dead, 
now no more to return to cor- 
ruption, be said on this wise, I 
will give 3'ou the sure mercies 
of David. Wherefore he saith 
also in another Psalm, Thou 
shall not suffer thine Holy One 
to see corruption. For David, 
after he had served his own ge- 
neration b}' the will of God, fell 
on sleep, and was laid unto his 
fathers, and saw corruption:

shut, where the disciples were 
assembled for fear of the Jews, 
came Jesus and stood in the 
midst, and saith unto them, 
Peace be unto j'ou. And when 
be had so said, he shewed un- 
to 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 batb sent me, even so 
send I you. And when he 
bad said this, he breathed on 
them, and saith unto them, Re- 
ceive ye the Holy Ghost. 
Whose soever sins ye remit, 
they are remitted unto them; 
and whose soever sins ye retain, 
they are retained.

Shepherd and Bishop of your

The Gospel St. Jolin x. 11.
 

JESUS said, I am the good 
shepherd: the good shep- 
herd giveth his life for the 
sheep. But he that is an hire- 
ling, and not the shepherd, 
whose own the sheep are not, 
seeth the wolf coming, and 
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: 
and the wolf catcheth them, 
and scattereth the sheep. The 
hireling fleeth, because he is 
an hireling, and careth not 
for the sheep. I am the good 
shepherd, and know my sheep, 
aud am known of mine. As 
the Father knoweth me, even 
so know I the Father: and 
I lay down my life for the^ 
sheep. And other sheep I have, 
which are not of this fold: 
them also I must bring, and 
they shall hear my voice; and 
there shall be one fold, and one 
shepherd.

DEARLY beloved, I be-

and pilgrims, abstain from 
fleshly lusts, which war against 
the soul; having your con- 
versation honest among the 
Gentiles; that, whereas they 
speak against you as evil doers, 
they may by your good works, 
which they shall behold, glo- 
rify God in the day of visita- 
tion. Submit yourselves to 
every ordinance of man for the 
Lord's sake: whether it be to 
the King, as supreme; or unto 
governours, as unto them that 
are sent by hiin for the punish- 
ment of evil doers, and for the 
praise of them that do well. 
For so is the will of God, that 
with well-doing ye may put to 
silence the ignorance of foolish 
men: as free, and not using 
3'our liberty for a cloak of ma- 
liciousness, but as the servants 
of God. Honour all men. Love 
the brotherhood. Fear God. 
Honour the King.

brethren, let every man be 
swift to hear, slow to speak,

assembled togetber with them, 
commanded them that tbey 
should not depart from Jeru-

of the Father, which, saith he, 
ye have beard of me. For John 
truly baptized with water; but 
ye shall be baptized with the 
Holy Ghost not man}^ days 
hence. When they therefore 
were come together, they asked 
of him, saying. Lord, wilt thou 
at this time restore again the 
kingdom to Israel? And he 
said unto them. It is not for 
you to know the times or the 
seasons, Avhich the Father hath 
put in his own power. But ye 
shall receive power, after that 
the Holy Ghost is come upon 
you: and ye shall be witnesses 
unto me both in Jerusalem, and 
in all Judea, and in Samaria, 
and unto the uttermost part of 
the earth. And when be had

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.

Agus thubhairt e riu, Imichibh

searmonaichibh an Soisgeul do 
gach creutair. Ge be' a chreideas 
agus a bhaistear, saorai* e, ach 
ge b'e nach creid, ditear e. 
Agus leanaidh na comlitharran 
so an dream a chreideas: Ann 
am Ainm-sa tilgidh iad a mach 
deamhain, labhraidh iad le tean- 
gaibh-nuadh; togaidh iad suas

dh' olas iad ni airbith marbhtach,

lamhan air daoinibh tinne, agus 
bithidh iad gu maith, Mar sin an 
deigh do'n Tighearna labhairt 
riu, ghablmdh suas gu neamh e, 
agus shuidh e air deas laimh Dhe. 
Agus air dhoibhsan dol a mach, 
shearmonaich iad anns gach aite, 
air bhi do'n Tighearna a' comh- 
oibreachadh leo, agus a' daing- 
neachadh an fhocail leis na

I risen. And he said unto them, 
Go ye into all the world, and

creature. He that believetli 
and is baptized shall be saved; 
but he that believetli not shall 
be damned. And these signs 
shall follow them that believe: 
In iny name shall they cast out 
devils; they shall speak with new 
tongues; they shall take up ser- 
pents; and if they drink any 
deadly thing, it shall not hurt 
them; they shall lay hands on 
the sick, and the}-- shall recover. 
So then after the Lord had 
spoken unto them, he was re- 
ceived up into heaven, and sat 
on the right hand of God. And 
they went forth, and preached 
everywhere, the Lord working 
with them, and confirming the 
Word with signs following.

was fully come, they were 
all with one accord in one place. 
And suddenly there came a 
sound from heaven as of a rush- 
ing mighty wind, and it filled 
all the house where they were 
sitting. And there appeared 
unto them cloven tongues like 
as of fire, and it sat upon each of 
them: and they were all filled 
with the Holy Ghost, and began 
to speak with other tongues, as 
the Spirit gave them utterance. 
And there were dwelling at 
Jerusalem Jews, devout men, 
out of every nation under 
heaven. Now when this was 
noised abroad, the multitude 
came together, and were con- 
founded, because that every 
man heard them speak in his 
own language. And they were 
all amazed, and marvelled, say- 
ing one to another. Behold, 
are not all these which speak 
Galileans? And how hear we 
every man in our own tongue, 
wherein we were born ? Par- 
thians, and Medes, and Elamites, 
and the dwellers in ^Mesopotamia,

The Gospel. St. John xiv. 15.
 

JESUS said unto his disciples, 
If 3'e love me, keep my com- 
mandments. And I will pray 
the Fatber, and be sball give 
you another Comforter, that he 
may abide with you for ever; 
even the Spirit of truth; whom 
the world cannot receive, be- 
cause it seeth him not, neither 
knoweth him: but ye know him; 
for he dwelleth with \o^, 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 Fa- 
ther, and ye in me, and I in 
you. He that hath my com- 
mandments, 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 Isca- 
riot,) Lord, bow is it that thou 
wilt manifest 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 3'et present with you. 
But the Comforter, which is the

THEN Peter opened his 
mouth, and said, Of a truth 
I perceive that God is no re- 
specter of persons; but in every 
nation he that feareth him, and 
worketh righteousness, is ac- 
cepted with him. The Word 
which God sent unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, preaching peace 
by Jesus Christ; (he is Lord 
of all;) that Word, I say, ye 
know, which was published 
throughout all Judgsa, and be- 
gan from GaliLe, after the bap- 
tism which John preached: how 
God anointed Jesus of Naza- 
reth with the Holy Ghost, and 
with power; who went about 
doing good, and healing all 
that were oppressed of the de- 
\'il: for God Avas with him. 
And we are witnesses of all 
things which he did, both in 
the land of the Jews, and in 
Jerusalem; whom they slew, 
and hanged on a tree: Him 
God raised up the third day, 
and shewed him openly; not 
to all the people, but unto wit- 
nesses chosen before of God; 
even to us who did eat and 
drink with him after he rose 
from the dead. And he com- 
manded us to preach unto the 
people, and to testify that it 
is he which was ordained of 
God to be the Judge of quick 
and dead. To him give all the 
prophets witness, that through 
his Name whosoever believeth 
in him shall receive remission 
of sins. AVhile Peter yet spake

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 ciystal: and in the

Cometh, and wbither it goeth: so 
is every one that is born of the 
Spirit. Nicodemus answered 
and said unto him, How can 
these tbings be ? Jesus answered 
and said unto bim, Art thou a 
master of Israel, and knowest 
not these tbings ? 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, bow 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, who 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 eter- 
nal life.

The Epistle. 1 St. John i v. 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 seni: 
his Son to be the propitiation 
for our sins. Beloved, if God 
so loved us, we ought also to 
love one another. No one 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 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 oar love made perfect, that 
we may have boldness in the 
day of judgement: 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. AYe love him because 
j he first loved us. If a man say,

The Gospel. St. Luke xvi 19.
 

THERE was a certain rich 
man, which was clothed 
in purple and fine linen, and 
fared sumptuously ever}^ 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 
died, and was carried by the 
angels into Abraham's bosom: 
the rich man also died, and was 
buried; and in hell he lifted up 
his eyes, being in torments, and 
seeth Abraham afar olf, and La- 
zarus in his bosom. And he cried 
and said, Father Abraham, have 
mercy on me, and send Laza- 
rus, 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

MARVEL not, my bre-

passed from death unto life,

He that loveth not his brother 
abideth in death. Whosoever 
hateth his brother is a mur-

murderer hath eternal lite abid-

I the love of God, because he

we ought to lay down our lives 
for the brethren. But whoso 
hath this world's good, and 
seeth his brother have need,

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 con-

condemn us not, then have we 
confidence toward God. And

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 kave bought five yoke of oxen, 
and I go to prove them; I pra}"- 
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 ser- 
vant. 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 ser- 
vant 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 high-ways and hedges, 
and compel them to come in, 
that my house may be filled. 
For I say unto you. That none

shall taste of m}' supper.

THEX drew near unto him 
all the Publicans and sin- 
ners for to bear bim. And the 
Pharisees and Scribes murmur- 
ed, saying, This man receiveth 
sinners, and eateth with them. 
And be spake this parable unto 
them, saying. What man of 
you having an hundred sheep, 
if be lose one of them, doth 
not leave the ninety and nine 
in the wilderness, and go after 
that which is lost, until be find 
it ? And when he bath found 
it, he layeth it on his shoulders, 
rejoicing. And when be Com- 
eth home, he calleth together 
bis friends and neighbours, say- 
ing unto them, Eejoice 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. Ei- 
ther 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 sin- 
ner that repenteth.

The Epistle. Rom, viii. ]3.
 

IRECKOX that the suffer- 
ings of this present time are 
not worthy to be compared with 
the glory which shall be revealed 
in us. For the earnest expec- 
tation 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 it- 
self also shall be delivered from 
the bondage of corruption, into 
the glorious liberty of the chil- 
dren of God. For w^e know 
that the whole creation groan- 
eth, and travaileth in pain to- 
gether until now. And not 
only they, but ourselves also, 
which have the first-fruits of 
the Spirit, even we ourselves 
groan within ourselves, waiting 
for the adoption, to wit, the re- 
demption of our bod}'.

KNOW ye not, that so

baptized into his death ? There- 
fore we are buried with him by 
baptism into death; that like 
as Chi'ist 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 to- 
gether 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. Xow if we 
be dead with Christ, we be- 
lieve 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 
j in that he died, he died unto 
sin once; but in that he liveth, 
he liveth unto God. Likewise

death. But now being made

The Gospel St. Mark viii. 1.
 

IN those days the multitude 
being very great, and hav- 
ing 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 came from far. 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

The Epistle. Rom. viii. 12.
 

BRETHREN, we are debt- 
ors, 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 of adoption, whereb}'' we 
cry, Abba, Father. The Spi- 
rit itself beareth witness with 
our spirit, that we are the chil- 
dren of God: and if children, 
then heirs; heirs of God, and 
joint-heirs with Christ: if so 
be that we suffer with him, 
that we may be also glorified 
together.

them God was not well pleased; 
for they were overthrown in the 
wilderness. Now these things 
were our examples, to the in- 
tent 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 forni-

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 de- 
stroyed 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 
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 j-e are able; but will 
with the temptation also make 
a way to escape, that ye may be 
able to bear it.

this of thee? give an account of 
thy stewardship; for thou mayest

What shall I do, for my lord 
taketh away from me the 
stewardship: I cannot dig; to 
beg I am ashamed. 1 am re- 
solved what to do, that, when I 
am put out of the stewardship, 
they may receive me into their

And he said, An hundred

Then said he to another, And

C0NCEENING spiritual 
gifts, brethren, I would 
not have you ignorant. Ye know- 
that ye were Gentiles, earned 
away unto these dumb idols, 
even as ye were led. Where- 
fore I give you to understand, 
that no man speaking by the 
Spirit of God calleth Jesus ac- 
cursed; 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 manifestation 
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 b}' 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 mi- 
racles; 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 self-same 
Spirit, dividing to every man 
severally as he will.

je have received, and wherein 
ye stand: by which also ye are 
saved, if ye keep in memory 
what I preached unto you, un- 
less 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 hun- 
dred 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 
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 bestow- 
ed upon me Avas 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.

Two men went up into the

and had an impediment in his 
speech; and they beseech him 
to put his hand upon him. And 
he took him aside from the mul- 
titude, 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, Epliphatha, 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 asto-

all things well: he maketh both

TO Abrabam and his seed

He saitb not, And to seeds, as 
of many; but as o£ one; And 
to thy seed, which is Christ. 
And this I say, that the cove- 
nant that was confirmed before 
of God in Christ, the Law, 
wbich was four bundred and 
tbirty years after, cannot dis- 
annul, that it sbould make the 
promise of none effect. For 
if the inheritance be of the 
Law, it is no more of pro- 
mise; but God gave it to 
Abrabam by promise. AVbere- 
fore then serveth the Law ? It 
was added because of trans- 
gressions, till the seed sbould 
come, to whom the promise was 
made; and it was ordained by 
angels in the band of a me- 
diator. 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 bad 
been a law given wbich could 
have given life, verily righte- 
ousness sbould have been by 
the Law. But the Scripture

YE see how large a letter I 
have written unto you with 
mine own hand. As many as 
desire to make a fair shew in 
the flesh, they constrain you to 
be circumcised; only lest they 
should suffer persecution for the 
cross of Christ. For neither 
they themselves who are cir- 
cumcised keep the law; but de- 
sire to have you circumcised, 
that thev may glory in vour 
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 cir- 
cumcision 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 hence- 
forth let no man trouble me;

NO man can serve two mas-

was dead sat up, and began to

Tlie Gospel. St.:\ratt. xxii. 34.
 

WHEN the Pharisees had 
heard that Jesus had put 
the Sadducees to silence, they 
were gathered together. Then 
one of them, who was a lawyer, 
asked him a question, tempting 
him, and saying. Master, which 
is the great ctmimandment in 
the Law ? Jesus said unto him, 
Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
God Avith 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 neigh- 
bour as thyself. On these two 
commandments hang all the

Gentiles walk, in the vanity of 
their mind; having the under- 
standing darkened, being alien- 
ated from the life of God 
through the ignorance that is 
in them, because of the blind- 
ness of their heart: who, being 
past feeling, have given them- 
selves 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 
off, concerning the former con- 
versation, the old man, which 
is corrupt according to the de- 
ceitful lusts; and be renewed in 
the spirit of your mind; and 
that ye put on the new man,

righteousness and true holiness.

The Gospel St. Matt. xxii. 1.
 

JESUS said, The kingdom of 
heaven is like unto a cer- 
tain king, who made a marriage 
for his son, and sent forth his 
sei'vants 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 
I bidden, Behold, I have pre- 
[ pared my dinner; my oxen 
land my fatlings are killed, and 
I all things are ready: come unto 
the marriage. But they made 
light of it, and went their ways, 
one to his farm, and another to 
his merchandise: and the rem- 
nant took his servants, and en- 
treated 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 
who were bidden were not 
worthy. Go ye therefore into 
the highway, and as many as 
ye shall find, bid to the mar- 
riage. So those servants went 
out into the highways, and ga- 
thered together all, as many as 
the}^ found, both bad a' id 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 sraith unto hiin, Friend, how 
earnest thou in hither, not hav- 
jing a wedding-garmeni ? And

that he would come down, and 
heal his son: for he Avas at the 
point of death. Then said Je- 
sus 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 liv- 
eth. And the man believed the 
word that Jesus had spoken un- 
to 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 enquired he of them the

in every prayer of mine for you 
all making request with joy,) 
for your fellowship in the Gos- 
pel, from the first day until now; 
being confident of this very 
thing, that he who 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; inas- 
much as both in my bonds, and 
in the defence and confirmation 
of the Gospel, 3'e all are par- 
takers of my grace. For God 
is my record, how greatly I long 
after yon all in the bowels of 
Jesus Christ. And this I pray, 
[that your love may abound yet

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 j 
brought unto him which owedi 
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 pa}^- 
ment to be made. The servant 
therefore fell down, and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Lord, have 
patience with me, and I will pay 
thee all. Then the lord of that 
servant was moved with com- 
passion, and loosed him, and 
forgave him the debt. But the 
same servant went out, and 
found one of his fellow-servants, 
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 fellow-servant fell down 
at his feet, and besought him, 
saying, Have patience with me,

took the loaves, and, when he 
had given thanks, he distributed 
to the disciples, and the disci- 
ples to them that were set down, 
and likewise of the fishes, as 
much as they would. AVhen 
they were filled, he said unto 
his disciples, Gather up the 
fragments that remain, that no- 
thing 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 world.

Saint Andrew's Day.
 

The Collect.
 

ALMIGHTY God, who didst 
give such grace unto thy 
holy Apostle Saint Andrew, that 
he readily obeyed the calling 
of thy Son Jesus Christ, and 
followed him without delay; 
Grant unto us all, that we, be- 
ing called by thy holy Word, 
ma}' forthwith give up ourselves 
obediently to fulfil thy holy 
commandments; through the 
same Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen.
 

The Epistle. Rom. x. 9.
 

IF thou shalt confess with 
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, 
and shalt believe in thine heart 
that God hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
For with the heart man be- 
lieveth unto righteousness, and 
with the mouth confession is 
made unto salvation. For the 
Scripture saith. Whosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be 
ashamed. For there is no dif- 
ference between the Jew and 
the Greek: for the same Lord 
over all is rich nnto all that call 
upon him. For whosoever shall 
call vipon the Name of the Lord 
shall be saved. How then shall 
they call on him, in whom they 
have not believed ì And how 
shall they believe in him, of 
whom they have not heard ? 
And how shall they hear with- 
out a preacher ? And how shall 
they preach, except they be

the Son of man sball sit in the 
throne of his glory, ye also shall 
sit upon twelve thrones, judging 
the twelve tribes of Israel. 
And every one that hath for-

behold, there was a man in 
Jerusalem, whose name was 
Simeon; and the same man was 
just and devout, waiting for the 
consolation of Israel: and the 
Holy Ghost was upon him. 
And it was revealed unto him 
by the Holy Ghost, that he 
should not see death before he 
had seen the Lord's Christ. 
And he came by the Spirit into 
the temple: and when the 
parents brought in the child 
Jesus, to do for him after the 
custom of the law, then took 
he him up in his arms, and 
blessed God, and said. Lord, 
now lettest thou thy servant 
depart in peace, according to 
thy word: for mine eyes have 
seen thy salvation, which thou 
hast prepared before the face of 
all people; a light to lighten 
the Gentiles, and the glory of 
thy people Israel. And Joseph 
and his mother marvelled at 
those things which were spoken 
of him. And Simeon blessed 
them, and said unto Mary his 
mother, Behold, this child is set 
for the fall and rising again of 
many in Israel; and for a sign 
which shall be spoken against; 
(yea, a sword shall pierce 
through thy own soul also,) 
that the thoughts o£ many 
hearts may be revealed. And 
there was one Anna a pro- 
phetess, the daughter of Phan- 
uel, of the tribe of Aser; she 
was of a great age, and had 
lived with an husband seven 
years from her virginity: and 
she was a widow of about four-

parted not from the temple, but

AND in the sixth month 
the angel Gabriel was sent 
from God unto a city of Galilee, 
named Nazareth, to a Virgin 
espoused to a man whose name 
was Joseph, of the house of 
David; and the Virgin's name 
was Mary. And the angel 
came in unto her, and said, 
Hail, thou that art highly fa- 
voured, the Lord is with thee: 
blessed art thou among women. 
And when she saw him, she 
was troubled at his saying, and 
cast in her mind what manner 
of salutation this should be. 
And the angel said unto her. 
Fear not, Mary; for thou hast 
found favour with God. And, 
behold, thou shalt conceive in 
thy womb, and bring forth a 
son, and shalt call his name 
JESUS. He shall be great, 
and shall be called the Son of 
the Highest: and the Lord God 
shall give unto him the throne 
of his father David: and he 
shall reign over the house of 
Jacob for ever; and of his 
kingdom there shall be no end. 
Then said Mar}' unto the angel, 
How shall this be, seeing I 
know not a man ? And the 
angel answered and said unto 
her, The Hoi}' Ghost shall come 
upon thee, and the power of 
the Highest shall overshadow 
thee: therefore also that holy 
thing which shall be born of 
thee shall be called the Son of 
God. And, behold, thy cousin 
Elisabeth, she hath also con- 
ceived a son in her old age: 
and this is the sixth month with 
her who was called barren. 
For with God nothing shall be 
impossible. And Mary said. 
Behold the handmaid of the 
Lord; be it unto me according

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 hio^h, he led 
captivity captive, and gave gifts 
unto men. (Now, that he as- 
cended, 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

TIDINGS of these things 
came unto the ears of the 
Church which was in Jerusalem: 
and they sent forth Barnabas, 
that he should go as far as 
Antioch. Who, when he came, 
and had seen the grace of God, 
was glad, and exhorted them 
all, that with purpose of heart 
they would cleave unto the Lord. 
For he was a good man, and full 
of the Holy Ghost and of faith: 
and much people was added unto 
the Lord. Then departed Bar- 
nabas to Tarsus, for to seek 
Saul: and when he had found 
him, he brought him unto An- 
tioch. And it came to pass, that 
a whole year they assembled 
themselves with the Church, and 
taught much people. And the 
disciples were called Christians 
first in Antioch. And in these 
days came prophets from Jeru- 
salem unto Antioch. And there 
stood up one of them, named 
Agabus, and signified by the 
Spirit that there should be great 
dearth throughout all the world: 
which came to pass in the days 
of Claudius Cesar, Then the

ELISABETH'S full time 
came that she should be 
delivered; and she brought forth 
a son. And her neighbours and 
her cousins heard how the Lord 
had shewed great mercy upon 
her; and they rejoiced with her. 
And it came to pass, that on the 
eighth day they came to circum- 
cise the child; and they called 
him Zach arias, after the name 
of his father. And his mother 
answered and said, Not so; but 
he shall be called John. And 
they said unto her, There is 
none of thy kindred that is 
called by this name. And they 
made signs to his father, how 
he would have him called. And 
he asked for a writing-table, and 
wrote, saying, His name is 
John. And they marvelled all. 
And his mouth was opened im- 
mediately, and his tongue loosed, 
and he spake, and praised God. 
And fear came on all that dwelt 
round about them: and all these 
sayings were noised abroad 
throughout all the hill-country 
of Judea. And all they that 
heard them laid them up in their 
hearts, saying, What manner of 
child shall this he? And the 
hand of the Lord was with him. 
And his father Zacharias was 
filled with the Holy Ghost, and 
prophesied, saying, Blessed be 
the Lord God of Israel; for he 
hath visited and redeemed his 
people, and hath raised up an 
horn of salvation for us in the 
house of his servant David; as 
he spake by the mouth of his 
holy prophets, which have been 
since the world began: that we 
should be saved from our 
enemies, and from the hand of 
all that hate us; to perform the 
mercy promised to our fathers,

For ilip. Epistle. Acts xii. 1. 
A BOUT that time, Herod 
i- A- the king stretched forth 
his hands, to vex certain of the 
Church. And he killed James 
the brother of John with the 
sword. And because he saw it 
pleased the Jews, he proceeded 
further to take Peter also. (Then 
were the days of unleavened 
bread.) And when he had appre- 
hended him, he put him in pri- 
son, and delivered him to four 
quaternions of soldiers to keep 
him; intending after Easter to 
bring him forth to the people. 
Peter therefore was kept in pri- 
son; but prayer was made with- 
out ceasing of the Church unto 
God for him. And when Herod 
would have brought him forth, 
the same night Peter was sleep- 
ing between two soldiers, bound 
with two chains: and the 
keepers before the door kept 
the prison. And, behold, the 
angel of the Lord came upon 
him, and a light shined in the 
prison: and he smote Peter on 
the side, and raised him up, 
saying, Arise up quickly. And 
his chains fell off from his hands. 
And the angel said unto him, 
Gird thj'self, and bind on thy 
sandals: and so he did. And 
he saith unto him. Cast thy gar- 
ment about thee, and follow me. 
And he went out, and followed 
him; and wist not that it was true 
which was done by the angel; 
but thought he saw a vision. 
When they were past the first 
and the second w^ard, they came 
unto the iron gate that leadeth 
unto the city, Avhich opened to 
them of his own accord: and 
they went out, and passed on 
through one street; and forth-

others, Jeremias, or one of the

But whom say ye that I am ? 
And Simon Peter answered and 
said, Thou art the Christ, the 
Son of the living God. And 
Jesus answered and said unto 
him, Blessed art thou, Simon 
Barjona: for flesh and blood 
hath not revealed it unto thee, 
but my Father which is in hea-

That thou art Peter, and upon

and the gates of hell shall not 
prevail against it. And I will

IN those days came prophets 
from Jerusalem unto An-

of them, named Agabus, and 
signified by the Spirit that there 
should be great dearth through- 
out all the world: which came 
to pass in the days of Claudius 
Cesar, Then the disciples, 
every man according to his 
ability, determined to send relief 
unto the brethren which dwelt 
in Judea: which also they did, 
and sent it to the elders by the 
hands of Barnabas and Saul. 
Now about that time, Herod the 
king stretched forth his hands, to 
vex certain of the Church. And 
he killed James the brother of 
John with the sword. And be-

For the Epistle. Acts v. 12.
 

BY the hands of the Apostles 
were many signs and won- 
ders wrougbt among the people: 
(and tbey were all witb one ac- 
cord in Solomon's porcb: and of 
the rest durst no man join him- 
self to them: but the ])eoplo 
magnified them: and believers 
were the more added to the 
Lord, multitudes both of men 
and women:) insomuch that 
they brought forth the sick into 
the streets, and laid them on 
beds and couches, that at the 
least the shadow of Peter pass- 
ing by might overshadow some 
of them. There came also a 
multitude out of the cities round 
about unto Jerusalem, bringing 
sick folks, and them which were 
vexed witb unclean spirits; and 
they were healed every one.
 



The Gospel. St. Luke xxii. 24.
 

AXD there was also a strife 
among them, which of 
them should be accounted the 
greatest. And he said unto 
them, The kings of the Gentiles 
exercise lordship over them; 
and they that exercise authority 
upon them are called benefac- 
tors. But ye shall not be so: 
but be that is greatest among 
you, let him be as the younger; 
and he that is chief, as he that 
doth serve. For Avhether is 
greater, he that sitteth at meat, 
or he that serveth ? is not be 
that sitteth at meat ? but I am 
among you as he that serveth.

AND as Jesus passed forth

unto him, Follow me. And he 
arose, and followed him. And 
it came to pass, as Jesus sat at 
meat in the house, behold, 
many Publicans and sinners 
came, and sat down with him 
and his disciples. And wben 
the Pharisees saw it, they said 
unto his disciples, Why eateth 
your Master with Publicans and 
sinners.-^ But when Jesus heard 
that, he said unto them. They 
that be whole need not a phy-

But go ye and learn what that

THERE Avas war in heaven: 
Michael and his angels 
fought against the dragon, and 
the dragon fought and his an-

was their place found any more 
in heaven. And the great dra- 
gon was cast out, that old ser- 
pent, called the devil and Sa- 
tan, which deceiveth the whole 
world; he was cast out into the 
earth, and his angels were cast 
out with him. And I heard a 
loud voice saj'ing in heaven, 
Now is come salvation, and 
strength, and the kingdom of 
our God, and the power of his 
Christ: for the accuser of our 
brethren is cast down, w^hicli 
accused them before our God 
day and night. And they over- 
came him by the blood of the 
Lamb, and by the word of their 
testimony; and they loved not 
their lives unto the death. 
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, 
and ye that dwell in them. 
Wo to the inhabiters of the

the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
shall give me at that day: and 
not to me only, but unto all

hath forsaken me, having loved

called: Mercy unto 3'ou, and 
peace, and love, be multiplied. 
Beloved, wben I gave all dili- 
gence to write unto you of the 
common salvation, it was need- 
ful for me to write unto you, 
and exbort you that ye sbould 
earnestly contend for the faitb 
wbich was once delivered unto 
the saints. For there are cer- 
tain men crept in unawares, 
wbo were before of old or- 
dained to this condemnation; 
ungodly men, turning the grace 
of our God into lasciviousness, 
and denying the only Lord God, 
and our Lord Jesus Clirist. 
I will therefore put you in re- 
membrance, though ye once 
knew this, how that the Lord, 
having saved the people out of 
the land of Egypt, afterward 
destroyed them that believed 
not. And the angels which kept 
not their iirst estate, but left 
their own habitation, be hath 
reserved in everlasting chains 
under darkness unto the judg- 
ment of the great day. Even 
as Sodom and Gomorrba, and 
the cities about them in like 
manner giving themselves over 
to fornication, and going after 
strange flesh, are set forth for 
an example, suffering the venge- 
ance of eternal fire. Likewise 
also these filthy dreamers defile 
the flesh, despise dominion, and 
speak evil of dignities.

ye know that it hated me before 
it hated j'ou. If 3'e were of the 
world, the world would love his 
own: but because ye are not of 
the world, but I have chosen 
you out of the world, therefore 
the world hateth you. Remem- 
ber the word that I said unto 
you, The servant is not greater 
than the lord: if they have 
persecuted me, they will also 
persecute you; if they have 
kept my saying, they will keep 
yours also. But all these things 
will they do unto you for my 
Name's sake, because they know 
not him that sent me. If I 
had not come and spoken unto 
them they had not had sin: 
but now they have no cloke for 
their sin. He that hateth me 
hateth my Father also. If I 
had not done among them the 
works which none other man 
did, they had not had sin: but 
now have they both seen and 
hated both me and m}^ Father. 
But this cometh to pass, that 
the word might be fulfilled that 
is written in their law. They 
hated me without a cause. But 
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 vnt- 
ness, because ye have been with 
me from the beginning.

them, saying. Blessed are the

they that mourn: for they shall 
be comforted. Blessed are the 
meek: for the}' shall inherit the

Blessed are the merciful: for
