Amen. The Epiftle. Rom. vi. 19. Speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members fervants to uncleannefs, and to iniquity, unto iniquity; even fo now yield your members fervants to righteousness, unto holiness. For when ye were the fervants of fin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in thofe things, whereof ye are now afhamed? for the end of thofe things is death. But now being made free from fin, and become fervants to God, ye have your fruit unto holinefs, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of fin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jefus Christ our Lord. The Gospel. St. Mark viii. 1. N those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jefus called his difciples unto him, and faith unto them, I have compaffion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat and if I fend them away fafting to their own houfes, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. And his difciples answered him, From whence can a man fatisfy these men with bread here in the wildernefs? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they laid, Seven. And he commanded the people to fit down on the ground: and he he took the feven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his difciples to fet before them; and they did fet them before the people. And they had a few fmall fishes; and he bleffed, and commanded to fet them alfo before them. So they did eat, and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that was The we cry, Abba, Father.

RETHREN, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our Fathers were under the cloud, and all paffed through the fea; and were all baptized unto Mofes in the cloud, and in the fea; and did all eat the fame fpiritual meat, and did all drink the fame fpiritual drink; (for they drank of that fpiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Chrift.) But with many of them God was not well pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we fhould not luft after evil things, as they alfo lufted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were fome of them as it is written, The people fat down to eat and drink, and rofe up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as fome of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as fome of them alfo tempted, and were de. murmur ye, as fome of them also murmured, and were deftroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for enfamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he ftandeth, take heed left he fall. There hath no temptation taken you, but fuch as is common to man : but God is faithful, who will not fuffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to efcape, that ye may be able to bear it. The Gospel. St. Luke xvi. 1. ESUS faid unto his difci Jples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the fame was accufed unto him, that he had wafted his goods. And he called him, and faid unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy ftewardfhip; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the fteward faid within himself, What fball I do? for my lord taketh away from me the ftewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am refolved what to do, that when I am put out of the. stewardship, they may receive me me into their houfes. So he know that ye were Gentiles, called every one of his lord's carried away unto thefe dumb debtors unto him, and faid idols even as ye were led. unto the firft, How much Wherefore I give you to unowéft thou unto my lord? derftand, that no man, fpeakAnd he said, An hundred ing by the Spirit of God, calmeasures of oil.

But all thefe worketh that one and the self-fame Spirit, dividing to every man feverally as he will. The Gofpel. St. Luke xix. 41, ND when he was come near, he beheld the A not have you ignorant. Ye city, and wept over it, faying, K If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days fhall come upon thee, that thine enemies fhall cafta trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every fide, and fhall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee: and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou kneweft not the time of thy vifitation. And he went into the temple, and began to caft out them that fold therein, and them that bought, faying unto them, It is written, My houfe is the houfe of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

RETHREN, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which alfo ye have received, and wherein ye ftand; by which allo ye are faved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all, that which I alforeceived, how that Chrift died for ourfins, according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried; and that herofe again the third day, according to the Scriptures; and that he was feen of Cephas; then of the twelve: After that, he was feen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this prefent; but fome are fallen afleep.

But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was beftowed upon me, was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore, whether it were I, or they, fo we preach, and fo ye believed. The |
