Ach mar gleidh gaeh reach an Creidimh so gu h-iomlan gun truailleadh: gun teagamh theid e mugha gu siorruidh.

Agus 's e so an Creidimh Coit- chionn: Gu'n aoramaid aon Dia ann an Trionaid, agus Trionaid, aim an aon ach d;

Gun bhi 'g amaluadh na Pear- sanna: no ag rionn an Nadair.

Oir a ta aon Phearsa do'n Ath- air, Pearsaeile do'n Mhac: agus Pearsa eile do'n Spiorad Naomh.

Ach Diadhachd an Athar, an Mhic, agus an Spioraid Naoimh is aon i uile: an Gloir co-ionnan, am Mòrachd co-shiorruidh.

Mar a ta an t-Athair, mar sin a ta Mac: agus mar sin a ta an Spiorad Naomh.

An t-Athair gun chruthachadh, am ^lac gun cliruthachadh: agus an Spiorad Naomh gun chruth- achadh.

Quicmique vult.

WHOSOE VE Rwill be saved: before all things it is ne- cessary that he hold theCatholick Faith.

Which faith, except every one do keep whole and undetiled: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;

Neither confounding the Per- sons: nor dividing the Substance.

For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and another of the Holy Ghost.

But the Godhead of the Fa- ther, of the Sou, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.

Such as the JNather is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost.

The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost uncreate.

An t-Athair do-thui^sinneach, am Mac do-thuigsinneach: agus an Spiorad Naomh do-thuigsin- neach.

An t-Athair siorruidh, am Mac siorruidh: agus an Spiorad Naomh siorruidh.

Agus gidheadh cha tri shior- ruidh iad: ach aon siorruidh.

Mar an ceudna cha'n 'eil tri do-thuigsinneach, na tri neo- chruthaichte ann: ach aon neo- chruthaichte, agus aon do-thuig- sinneach.

Mar an ceudna a ta an t-Athair Uile-chumhachdach, am Mac Uile-chumhachdach: agus an Sjiiorad Naomh Uile-chumh- achdach.

Agus gidheadh cha tri Uile- chumhachdaich iad: ach aon Uile-chumhachdach.

Mar so is Dia an t-Athair, is Dia am Mac: agus is Dia an Spiorad Naomh;

Agus gidheadh cha tri Dee iad: ach aon Dia.

Mar an ceudna is Tighearna an t-Athair, is Tighearna am Mac: agus is Tighearna an Spio- rad Naomh.

Agus gidheadh cha tri Tigh- earnan iad: ach aon Tighearna.

Oir amhuil mar a ta sinn air arco'-eigneachadh leis an fhirinn Chriosdaii: a dh' aideachadh gu bheil gach pearsa fii leth 'na Dhia agus 'na Thighearna;

Mar sinn a taeair athoirmeasg dhuinn leis an Chreidimh Choit- chionn: a radh, A ta tri Dee, no tri Tighearnan ann.

Cha 'n eil an t-Athair air a dhe- anamh o neach: ni mo a ta è air a chruthachadh, no air a ghintinn.

A ta am Mac o'n Athair amh- àin: cha 'n ann deanta, no cru- thaichte ach ginte.

A ta an Spiorad Naomh o'n A thair agus o'n Mhac: cha'n ann 30

The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensilile: and the Holy Ghost incomprehen- sible.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal.

And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three un- created: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

So likewise the Father is Al- mighty, the Son Almighty: and the Holy Ghost Almighty.

And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.

And yet they are not three Gods: but one (jrod.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the Holy Ghost Lord;

And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

For like as Ave are compelled by the Christian verity: to ac- knowledge every Person by him- self to be God and Lord;

So are we forbidden by the Catholick Religion: to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords.

The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.

The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but bei2:otten,

The^Holy Ghost is of the Fa- ther, and of the Son: neither

deanta, no cruthaichte, no ginte, acli a teachd.

Mar sin a ta aon Athair ann, ni h-ètriAthraichean; aonMliac;ni h-è tri Mic: aon Spiorad Naomh, ni h-e tri Spioraid Naoimh.

Agus anus an Trionaid, so clia 'n 'eil aon roimh no an deigh a cheile: cha'n 'eil aon na's mo no na's lugha 'na cheile;

Ach a ta natri Pearsanna uile co-shiorrnidh le cheile: agus co- ionnan.

Mar sin annsnah-uile nithibh, mar a thubhairteadh roimhe: is coir aoradh thoirt do'n Aonachd ann an Trionaidh,agus do'n Trio- naid ann an Aonachd.

Dime sin an ti leis an ail bhi air a shabhaladh: feumaidh è smuairiteachadh mar so air an Trionaid.

Os-barr, tha e feumail chum slàinte shiorruidh: gu'n creideadh è gu ceait mar an ceudna gu'n do ghabh ar Tighearna Iosa Criosd feoil dhaoine air fein.

Oir is è an Creidimh fior, gu'n creid agus gu'n aidich sinn: gu bheil ar Tighearna Iosa Criosd, Mac Dhe, 'na Dhia agus 'na Dhuine;

Dia do nadar an Athar, ginte roimh na saoghail: agus Duine do nadar a Mhathar, a rugadh anns an t-saoghal:

Dia iomlan, agus Duine iom- lan, air a dheanamh suas do anam reusanta: agus do fh coil dhaoine;

Co-ionnan ris an Athair, a tbaobh a Dhiadhachd: ach na's isle na 'n t-Athair, a thaobh a Dhaoiinachd.

An Ti ged tha è 'na Dhia agus 'na Dhuine: gidheadh cha da Chriosd e, ach aon:

Aon; cha'n ann le tiondadh an Diadhachd gu feoil: ach le gabhail na Daonnachd gu Dia; 31

made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.

And in this Trinity none is afore, or alter other: none is greater, or less than another;

But the whole Three Persons are co-eternal together: and co- equal.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also believe rightly the Incarna- tion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and ]\Ian, of the Sub- stance of his Mother, born in the world;

Perfect God and perfect Man: of a reasonable soul, and human flesh subsisting;

Equal to the Father, as touch- ing his Godhead: and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.

Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ;

One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking of the Manhood into Godj

Na aon gu iomlan; cha'n ann le amaluadh nadair; ach le aon- achd Pearsa.

Oir mar a ta an t-anam reus- anta agus an fheoil 'nan aon duine: mar sin tha Dia agus duine 'nan aon Chriosd:

Neach a dh' fhuiling air son ar sabhaladh: a chaidh sios do dh' ifrinn, a dh' èirich a ris air an treas la o na mairbh.

Mar bha air tus, a ta nis, agus a bbitheas gu brath: saoghal gun chrioch. Amen.

One altogether; not by con- fusion of Substance: but by unity of Person.

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ:

Who suffered for our salva- tion: descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead.

He ascended into heaven; he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies: and shall give account fur their own works.

But they that have done good, shall go into life everlasting: and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.

This is the^Catholick Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

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.

The Gospel. St. Matt. xxi. 1.

WHEN they drew nigh un- to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye 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.

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.

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.

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.

The Gospel. St. John xxi. 1,0, ESUS said unto Peter, Fol- ow me. Then Peter, turn- ing about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee ? Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, 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.

AND it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even unto 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- fore he was conceived in the womb. ^ The same Colled, Epùtle, and

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.

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 amazed: ind his mother said unto him.

And when Jesus was entered into Caper- naum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the pal-^}-, griev- ousl}^ tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion an- swered and said, Lord, I am 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 hour.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OLORD God, who seest that we put not our trust in any thing that we do; Merci- fully grant, that by th}^ power we may be defended against all adversity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle. 2 Cor. xi. 19.

YE suffer fools gladl}-, seeing ye yourselves are wise. For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. I speak as con- cerning reproach, as though we had been weak, Howbeit where- insoever any is bold, (I speak foolisliiy,) I am bold also. Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites ? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abun- dant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weari- ness and painfulness, in watch- ings often, In hunger and thirst,

AGUS an uair a chruinnich L. sluaghmor, agus a thainig iad as gach baile d'a ionnsuidh, labhair è ann an cosamhlachd: Chaidh fear-cuir a mach a chur a shil: agus ag cur da, thuit cuid ri taobh an rathaid, agus shal- tradh sìosè; agus dh'ith eunlaith an athair suas e. Agus thuit cuid eile air carraig: agus air fas da, shearg e, do bhrigh nach robh sugh aige. Agus thuit cuid eile am measg droighinn: agus air fas do'n droighinn maille ris, thachd se e. Agus thuit cuid eile air talamh maith, agus dh' fhàs è suas, agus thug e toradh uaith a cheud uiread 's a chuireadh. Agus air dha na nithe sin a radh, ghlaodh e, Ge b'e aig am bheil cluasanchum eisdeachd, eisdeadh e. Agus dh' fhiosraich a dheis- ciobuil deth, ag radh, Ciod e an cosamhlachd so ? Agus thubh- airt esan, Thugadh dhuibhse eolas f haotainn air run diomhair rioghachd Dhe: ach do chach an cosamhlachdaibh ionnus ag faic- 87

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

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

Is e an siol focal De. ladsan ri taobh an rathaid, is iad sin a dh'eisdeas: 'nadheigh sin, a ta 'n diabhol a' teachd, agus a' togail air falbh an fhocail as an cridheachaibh, air eagal gu'n creideadh iad agus gu'm biodh iad air an saoradh. An dream air a' charraig, is iad sin iadsan, an uair a dh'eisdeas iad, a gha- bhas am focal d'an ionnsuidh le gairdeachas; ach cha'u'eil aca so freumh, muinntir a chi-eideas re tamuill, agus 'an am buairidh a ta tuiteam air falbh. Agus an ni a thuit am measg droighinn, is iad sin an dream a dh'eisdeas, agus air dhoibh dol a mach, a ta iad air an tachdadh le curam, agus le saibhreas, agus le saimhe na beatha so, agus cha 'n'eil iad a' toirt toraidh uatha chum foir- feachd. Ach an ni a thuit 's an talamh mhaith, is iad sin iadsan, air dhoibh am focal eisdeachd, a ta g'a choimhead ann an cridhe treibhdhireach agus maith, agus a toirt a'mach toraidh le foighidinn.

OTHIGHEARNA, a theag- aisg dhuinn, gu'm bheil ar nuile dheanadais as eugmhais iochd gun fheum air bith, Cuir a nuas do Spiorad Naomh, agus doirt 'nar cridheachaibh tiodhla- cadh ro ordheirc sin an iochd, fior cheangal na sith, agus na'n uile ionracais, as eugmhais so co air bith a ta beo tha e air amheas marbh ann d' làthair-sa: Deon- aich so air sgath d'aon Mhic losa Criosd. Amen.

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

OLORD, who hast taught us that all our doings with- out charity are nothing worth; Send thy Holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most ex- cellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace, and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee: Grant this for thine only Son Jesus Christ's sake.

The Epistle. 1 Cor, xiii. 1.

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 abideth faith, hope, charity.

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 unto thee ? And he said, Lord, 1 that I may receive my sight.

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.

THEN was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilder- ness, to be tempted of the de- vil. And wben be bad fasted forty days and forty nigbts, be was afterwards an bungred. And wben the tempter came to bim, be said. If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But be answered and said. It is writ- ten, Man sball not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth, of God. Then the devil taketh bim up into the holy cit}', and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him. If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, and in their hands they 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 them; and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:

For this is the will of God, even your sancti- fication, that ye should abstain 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- yond and defraud his brother in any matter; because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have fore- warned you, and testified.

And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of Da- vid; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and be- sought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worship- ped him, saying. Lord, help me. But he answered and said. It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord; yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. Then Je- sus answered and said unto her, woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very- hour.

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.

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.

JESUS said. Which of you convinceth meof sin? And if I say the truth, wh}' do ye not believe me ? He that is of God heareth God's words; 3'e therefore hear them not, be- cause ye are not of God. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him. Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but 1 honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one tliat seek- eth andjudgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you. If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

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.

The Gospel St. Matt, xxvii. L

WHEN the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And when they had bound him, they led him awa}', and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.

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.

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.

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, 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.

Agus bha cuid diubh diomhach annta fein, agus ag radh, Car son a rinneadh an t- ana-caitheadh so air an ola ? Oir dh' fhoudadh i bhi air a reice air son tuilleadh 's tri cheud peghinn, agus air a toirt do na bochdaibh. Agus rinn iad gearan 'na h-agh- aidh. Ach a dubhairt losa. Leig- ibh leatha; c'ar son a ta sibh cur dragha oirre? rinn i obair mhaith ormsa, Oir a ta na bochdan a ghnath maille ribh agus ge b'e uair is aill libh, feudaidh sibh maith a dheanamh dhoibh: ach cha 'n eil mise a ghnath agaibh.

Agus dh'imich ludas Iscariot, aon do'n da f hear dheug, chum nan ard shagart, gu esan a bhrath dhoibh. Agus air dhoibhsan so a chluinntinn, bha iad aoibhneach, agus gheall iad airgiod a thoirt da. Agus dh'iarr e cionnus a dh' f heudadh e gu h- iomchuidh esan a bhrath. Agus air a' cheud la do f heisd an arain neo-gboirtichte,an uair bu ghnath leo an t-uan caisge a mharbhadh, a deir a dheisciobuil ris, C'ait an toil leat sinne dholadh'uUachadh chum's gu'n itheadh tu chaisg ?

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- i ciples, and saith unto them, Go

And he will shew you a lai'ge upper room furnished, and prepared: there make rea- dy for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made rea- dy the passover. And in the 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 the dish. the Son of Man in- deed goeth, as it is written of him: but wo to that man by whom the Son of Man is be- trayed: good were it for that 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.

But, after that I am risen, I will go be- fore you into Galilee. But Pe- ter said unto him. Although all shall be offended, yet will 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- semane: and he saith to his 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- ed, that, i£ it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt. And he Cometh and findeth them sleep- ing, and saith unto Peter, Si- mon, sleepest thou ? couldest not thou watch one hour ?

And as soon as be was come he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. And they laid their bands on bim, and took him. And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out as against a tbief, with swords and witli staves, to take me? I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the Scriptures must be fulfilled. And they all forsook him and fled. And there followed him a certain 3'Oung man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: and he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

Agu.s lean Pead- ar e fada uatha, gus an deachaidh e steach do thalla an ard shag- airt: agus bha e 'na shuidhe maille ris na seirbhisich, agus 'ga gharadh ris an teine. Agus dh'- iarr na h-ard shagairt, agus a' chomhairle uile fianuis an agb- aidh losa, chum a chur gu bas; agus cha d'fhuair iad. Oir rinn mòran dhaoine fianuis bhreige 'na aghaidh, ach cha do choird am fianuis r'a cheile. Agus air do dhream àraidh èirigh, thug iad fianuis bhreige 'na aghaidh, ag radh. Chuala sinne e 'g radh, Leagaidh mi sios anteampull so, a rinneadh le làmhaibh, agus an tri laithibh togaidh mi teampull eile, neo-dheanta le làmhaibh.

And the chief priests and all the council 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.

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 tliey smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and, bowing their knees, worshipped him.

The place of a scull. And they gave 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 and believe. And they that \vere crucified with him reviled hira. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eioi, Eloi, lama sahachthanl? which is, being interpreted. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

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

A NIS dhruidriufeisdanarain neo-ghoirtichte, d'an goir- ear a' chaisg. Agus bha na h-ard shagairt agus scriobhuichean ag iarraidh cionnus a dh'f heudadh iad esan a chur gu bàs; oir bha eagal an t-sluaigh orra.

tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministr}'. And almost all 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.

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we pre- pare ? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the good man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my dis- ciples ? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the king- dom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said. Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

Ach feuch, lamh an ti a bhrathas mise maille rium air a bhord. Agus gu firinneach a ta Mac an duine ag imeachd a reir mar a dh'ord- aicheadh: ach is anaoibhinn do'n duine sin leis am brathare. Agus thoisich iadsan air fiosrachadh eatorra fein, co aca bha gns an ni so a dheanamh. Agus bha mar an ceudna comh-stri eatorra, co aca bu mho a bhiodh. Ach a dubhairt esan riu, A ta aig righ- ribh nan Cinneach tighearnas orra; agus goirear daoine fial dhiubhsan, aig am bheil ughd- arras orra.

And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed. And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. And there v.-as 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 he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sit- teth at meat ? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are Ihey which have continued with me in my temptation: And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail^not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

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

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 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.

THE whole multitude of them arose, and led him 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.

Ach chuir Herod agus a luchd-cogaidh an neo-mheas e, agus rinn iad I'anoid air, agus an deigh a sgead- achadh 'an eudach dealrach, chuir e air ais gu Pilat e.

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.

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that be might be crucified: and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And PiUite gave sen- tence that it should be as they required. And be released un- to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into pri- son, whom they had desired; but be delivered Jesus to their will. And as tbey led him away, tbey laid bold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the countr}', and on him tbey laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

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.

Let I us hold fast the profession of I our faith without wavering; (lor ! he is faithful that promi.<ed;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; b ii exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

PILATE therefore took Je- sus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown ot thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purplr- robe, and said. Hail, King of the Jews ! and the}' smote him with their hands. Pilate there- fore went forth again, and saith unto them. Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pi- late saith unto them, Behold the man ! When the chief priests therefore and oflScers saw him.

Fhreagair na h-Iudhaich e, Tha lagh againne, agus a reir ar lagha-ne is coir a chur gu bàs, air son gu'n d'rinn e Mac dhe dheth tein. Uime sin an uair a cbuala Pilat a chainnt sin, bu 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 thubhairt Pilat ris, Nach labbair thu riumsa ? nach 'eil fhios agad gu'm bheil cumhachd agam-sa do cheusadh, agus gu'm bheil cumhachd agani do chur fa sgaoil? Fhreagair losa, Cha bhiodh cumhachd air bith agad a' m' aghaidhse, mur d' thugta dhuit o'n àird e: air an aobhar sin an tia thug mise thairis dhuit, tha aige-san am peacadh a's mo. Agus o sin suas dh' iarr Pilat a chuir fa sgaoil; ach ghlaodh na h-Iudhaich, ag radh, Ma leigeas tu am fear so fa sgaoil; cha charaid thu do Cheasar: ge b'e neach ata 'gadheanamh fein 'na righ, tha e a' labhairt an aghaidh Cheasair. Uime sin an uair a chuala Pilat a' chainnt sin, thug e mach losa, agus shuidh e air a' chathair-bhreitheanais amis an ionad d'an goirear an Leac- ùrlair, ach anns an Eabhra, Gabata. Agus b'e la ulluchaidh na caisg e, agus mu thimchioU na seathadh uaire: agus a deir e ris na h-Iudhaich, Feuch bhurrigh. Ach ghlaodh iadsan a mach, Beir uainn, beir uainn, ceus 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

Agus chaidh e mach, a giùhm a chrann- ceusaidh, do'n ionad d' an goirear aite a' chloiginn, d' an ainm 'san Eabhra, Golgota. An sin cheus iad e, agus dithis eile maille ris, fear air gach taobh, agus Iosa 's a mheadhon. Agus scriobh Pilat mar an ceudna tiodal, agus chuir e air a cbrann-cheusaidh e. Agus b'e an scriobhadh Iosa NASARET RIGH NAX lUDHACH. Uime sin leugh moran do na h-Iudhachaibh an tiodal so: oir bba'n t-ait anns an do cheusadh Iosa fagus do'n bbaile: agus bha an scriobbadh an Eabhra, an Greugais, agus an Laidinn. An sin thubhairt àrd shagairt na'n ludhach ri Pilat, Na scriobh, righ nan ludhacb, aNh gu'n dubhairt e fein, Is mi Eigb nan ludhach. Fhreagair Pilat, An ni a scriobh mi, scriobh mi e. An sin an uair a cheus na saighdearan losa, ghlac iad a thrusgan, (agus rinn iad ceithir earrainnean, earrainn do gach saighdear,) agus a chota mar an ceudna: agus bha an cota gun f huaigheal, air f higheadh o bhra- igh sios gu h-iomlan. Thubh- airt iad uime sin eatorra fein, Na reubamaid e, ach tilgeamaid croinn air, co aig a bhitheas e: chum gu'n coimhliontadh an scriobtuir, a deir, Roinn iad mo thrusgan eatorra, agus thilg iad croinn air mo bhrat. Air an aobhar sin rinn na saighdearan na nithe so. A nis sheas làimh ri crann-ceusaidh losa, a mhàth- air agus piuthar a mhàthar, Muire bean Chleopliais, agus Muire Magdalen.

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

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 piei'ced.

The Epistle. 1 St. Pet. iii. 17.

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 bim.

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.

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: 2

Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

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.

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.

Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, A little while, and ye shall see me ? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall re- joice: and ye shall be sorrow- ful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righte- ousness of God, AVherefore lay apart all filthiness and su- perfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the en- grafted word, which is able to save your souls.

OGOD, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy king- dom in heaven; We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone be- fore; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end Amen.

The Epistle. 1 St. Peter iv. 7.

THE end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

WHEN the day of Pentecost 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, and in Juda3a, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about

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.

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 these words, the Holy Ghost

Avhich I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And im- mediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine-stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto ciystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts, full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a Hying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and* night, saying, Hoi}-, holy, holy. Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down be- fore him tiiat sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their

THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode- mus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Xicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? Jesus answered, Veril}^, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That Avhich is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee. Ye must be born again.

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.

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.

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.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: for I have five brethren: that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into tliis place of tor- ment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the pro- phets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, Father Abra- ham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him.

MARVEL not, my bre- thren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, j because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a mur- derer: and 3'e know that no murderer hath eternal lite abid- ^ ing in him. Hereby perceive we I the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. For if our heart con- demn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is his com- mandment.

A CERTAIN man made a great supper, and bade many; and sent his servant at supper-time to say to them that were bidden. Come, for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it; I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I 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 of those men which were bidden 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.

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.

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.

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.

BEWARE of false prophets, which come to 3-ou in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits: do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a cor- rupt tree bring forth good fruit. 'Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. AVhere- fore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of hea- ven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

But with man}'- of 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- cation, as some of them com- mitted, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were 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.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself. What shall I do, for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. 1 am re- solved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first. How much owest thou unto my lord? And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou ? And he said. An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him. Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the lord com- mended the unjust steward, be- cause he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of un- righteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into ever- lasting habitations.

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.

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.

Amen.

The Epistle. Gal. iii. 16.

TO Abrabam and his seed were the promises made. 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 hatb concluded all under sin, 2

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 they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; and answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass, or an ox, fallen into a pit, and

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that, when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For who- soever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

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 Law and the Prophets. While the Pharisees were gathered to- gether, Jesus asked them, say- ing, What think ye of Christ r whose son is he ? The^^ say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies th}^ footstool ? If David then call him Lord, how is he his Son ? And no man was able to answer him a word; neither durst any man from that day

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

The Gospel St. Matt, xviii. 21.

PETER said unto Jesus, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times.? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain , king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was 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,

Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes; but what are the}' among so many ? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and, when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the 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.

IN those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and bretbren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concern- ing Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he w^as numbered wdth us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

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.

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 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 b}^ the hands of Barnabas and Saul,

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,

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.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and who- soever will be chief among j'ou, let him be your servant; even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

AND as Jesus passed forth from thence, be saw a man named Mattbew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith 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.

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.

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.

Hear the words of the Gospel, written by Saint Mark, in the tenth Chapter, at the thir- teenth Verse. THEY brought j'oung chil- dren to Christ, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whoso- ever sball not receive the king- dom of God as a little child, he sball not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed ihem.

"U Then shall the Priest speak unto the Godfathers and Godmothers on this wise,

DEAELY beloved, ye have brought Uiis Child here to be baptized, ye have prayed that our Lord Jesus Christ would vouchsafe to receive liim, to release him of his sins, to sanctify him with the Holy Ghost, to give liim the kingdom of heaven and everlasting life. Ye have heard also, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath pro- mised in his Gospel to grant all these things that ye have prayed for: which promise he, I for his part, will most surely j keep and perform. Wherefore, after this promise made by I Christ, this Infant must also 1 faithfully, for his part, promise by 3'ou that are his sureties, I (until he come of age to take I it upon himself) that he will ' renounce the devil and all his I works, and constantly believe God's holy Word, and obe- ' diently keep his Command- i ments.

I demand therefore,

DOST thou, in the name of this child, renounce the devil and all his works, the vain pomp and glory of the world, with all covetous de- sires of the same, and the car- nal desires of the iiesh, so that

nach lean thu iad, agus nach bi thu air do threorachadh leo ? Freag. Tha mi cur cul riu uile.

Ministeir.

Agus gu'n do gbabbadh e leis an Spioradh Naomh; gu'n d'rugadh e leis an Oigb Muire; gu'n d' fbuiling e fo Pbontius Pilat, gu'n do cbeusadh e, gu'n d' fbuair e bas, agus gu'n d' adhlaiceadh e; gu'n deachaidh e sios do dh' ifrinn, agus mar an ceudna gu'n d'eirich e a ris an treas la; gu'n deachaidh e suas guneamh, agus gu bheil e 'na sbuidhe air deas laimh Dhe ant-Athair Uile-chumhachdacb; agus gu'n d' thig e as a' sin a ris aig deireadh an t-saog-bail, a thoirt breitb air na beothaibh agus air na mairbh ?

Agus am bheil thu creidsinn anns an Spiorad Naomh; an Eaglais naomh Choitchionn; an Combcbomunn nan Naomh; am Maitbeanas peacaidh; an Ais- eiiigb na feola; agus am beatha mbaireannach an deigb bàis ?

DOST thou believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth ?

And in Jesus Christ his only- begotten Son our Lord? And that be was conceived by the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin Mary; that be suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; that be went down into hell, and also did rise again the third day; that he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right band of God the Father Almighty; and from thence shall come again at the end of the world, to judge the quick and the dead?

And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catbo- lick Church; the Communion of saints; the Eemission of sins; the Resurrection of the flesh; and everlasting life after death ?

Ansicer. All this I stedfastly believe.

Minister. ILT thou be baptized in

this faith ? Ansioer. That is my desire.

Minister.

WILT thou then obediently keep God's holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of thy life? Answer. I will.

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto \o\\. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

^ After the Go'^vel is rea'f, the ]\iinister shall make this brief Ex- h'irlati"n upon the words of the Gospel.

BELOVED, ye hear in this Gospel the words of our Saviour Christ, that he com- manded the children to be brought unto him; how he blamed those that would have kept them from him; how he exhorted all men to follow their innocenc}'. Ye perceive how by his outward gesture and deed he declared his good will toward them; for he embraced thon in his arms, he laid his hands upon them, and blessed them. Doubt ye not therefore, but earnestly believe, that he hath likewise favourabl}- received this present Infant; thathe hath em- braced him with the arms of his mercy; and (as he hath promis-

AVbere- fore, we being thus persuaded of the good will of our heavenly Father, declared by his Son Jesus Christ, towards this In- fant, let us faithfully and de- voutly give thanks unto him, and say the prayer which the Lord himself taught us:

OUR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And for- give us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliv^er us from evil. Amen.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, heavenl}' Father, we give thee humble thanks, that thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of thy grace, and faith in thee; Increase this knowledge, and confirm this faith in us evermore. Give thy holy Spirit to this Infant, that he, being born again, and be- ing made an heir of everlast- ing salvation, throuffb our Lord Jesus Christ, may continue thy servant^ and attain thy promise; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

And that he may know these things the better, ye shall call upon him to hear Sermons; and chiefly ye shall provide, that he may learn the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, in the vulgar tongue, and all other things which a Christian ought to know and believe to his soul's health; and that ^/^/.9 Child may be virtuously brought up to lead a godly and a Christian life; re-

Hear the words of the Gospel, written by Saint John, in the third chapter, beginning at the first verse.

THERE^ was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode- mus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him. Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born a- gain, be cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto

ris, nach faod e rioghachd Dhe fhaicinn. Thubhairt Nicodemus i-is, Cionnus a dh' fhaodas duine bhi air a breith 'n uair a ta e aosda ? am bheil e comasach air dol a stigh an dara uair do bhroinn a mhathar, agus a bhi air a bhreith ? Fhreagair losa, Gu deimhinn.deimhinndeireamriut, mur bi duine air a bhreith o uisge agus o'n Spiorad, cha'n urrainn e dol a stigh do rioghachd Dhe, an ni sin a ta air a breith o'n fheoil, is feoil e; agus an ni sin a ta air a bhreith o'n Spiorad, is spiorad e. Na gabh iongantas gu'n dubhairt mi ruit, Is eiginn duibh bhi air bhur breith a ris. Tha ghaoth a'seideadh far an aill leatha, agus tha thu a' cluinntinn a fuaim; ach cha'n 'eil fhios agad cia as a tha i teachd, no c'aite a bheil i dol: is ann mar sin a tha gach neach a ta air a bhreith o'n Spiorad.

Mar an ceudna, air ball roimh a dhol suas gu neamh (mar a ta sinn a' leughadh anns an Chaibideil mu dheireadh d' Shoisgeul Naoimh Marc), thug e aithn' d'a dheis- ciobluibh, ag radh, Rachaibh feadhant-saoghailuile; agussear- monaichibh an Soisgeul do gach creutair.

That which is { born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

For wbich cause Saint Peter the Apostle, wben upon his first preacbing of the Gospel many were pricked at the beart, and said to him and the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren, vvbat sball we do ? replied and said unto them, Re- pent, and be baptized every one of you for the remission of sins, and ye sball receiv^e the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the pro- mise is to you, and your chil- dren, and to all that are afar ofP, even as many as the Lord our God sball call. And with many other words exhorted he them, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. For (as the same Apostle testifieth in another place) 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. Doubt ye not therefore, but earnestly believe, that he will favourably receive these present 2)ersons, truly repenting, and coming unto him by faith; that he will grant them remission of their sins, and bestow upon them the Holy Ghost; that be will give them the blessing of eternal life, and make them partahers of his everlasting kingdom.

Wherefore we being thus per- suaded of the good will of our heavenly Father towards these persons, declared by his Son Je- sus Christ; let us faithfully and

Question. What dost thou chiefly learn by these command- ments ?

Ansicer. I leam two things: my duty towards God, and my duty towards my Neighbour.

Question. What is thy duty towards thy Neighbour ?

Ansiver. My duty towards my Neighbour, is to love him as myself, and to do to all men, as I would they should do unto me: To love, honour, and succour my father and mo- ther: To honour and obey the Queen, and all that are put in authority under her: To sub- mit myself to all my gover- nors, teachers, spiritual pastors and masters: To order m3'self lowly and reverently to all my betters: To hurt no body by word nor deed: To be true and just in all my dealing: To bear no malice nor hatred in my heart: To keep my hands from picking a-.id steal- ing, and my tongue from evil- speaking, lying, and slander-

jtnn a'm' chridhe: Mo lamlian a chumail bho spioladh agus bho ghoid, agus mo theanga bho dhroch cainnt, breugaibh, agus sgaingeil: Mo cborp a chumail a' meas'rachd, a' stuaim, agus an geimneachd: Gun bhi sanntach- adh, no miannachadh maoin dhaoine eile: Ach foghlum agus saoithreachadh gu firinneach chum gu faighinn mo bheo- shlainte, agus gun deanainn mo dhleasnas ann a staid na beatha sin, anns bu deonacli le Dia mo ghairm.

Fear- CeasmdcJie.

CatecMst. My good Child, know this, that thou art not able to do these things of thy- self, nor to walk in the Com- mandments of God, and to serve him, without his special grace: which thou must learn at all times to call for by dili- gent prayer. Let me hear there- fore, if thou canst say the Lord's Prayer.

Ansicer.

OUR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth. As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into tempta- tion; But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Question. What desirest thou, of God in this Prayer?

Ansicer. I desire my Lord God our heavenly Father, who is the giver of all goodness, to send his grace unto me, and to all people; that we may wor- ship him, serve him, and obey him, as Ave ought to do. And

umhlachd mar bu clioir dhuinn. Agus tha mi guidhe air Dia gu'n cuir e da'r n'ionnsaidh gach iii a ta feumail, araon air son ar n'anamna agus ar cuirp; agus ga'm bi e trocaireach dhuinn, agus gu'm maith e ar peac- ainnean; agus gu'm bu deon- ach 1 eis air gleidheadh, agus air dion ann s'gach uile chunnart spioradail agus corporra; agus air cumail bho uile pbeacadh, agusbboaingeachd, bho ar namh- aid spioradail, agus 'o bhas siorr- uidh. Agus tha mo dhochas gu'n dean e so, le throcaire agus le mhaitheas, trid ar Tighearna losa Criosd: Agus air an aobhar sin, deirim, Amen; Biodh e mar sin.

Secondly, It was ordained for remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such per- sons as have not the gift of con- tinency might marry, and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ's body

Thirdly, It was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in pros- perity and adversity.

Tha naomh Pol, 'naLitir chum nanEphesiannach,annsanchuig- eamh Caibideil, a' toirt na h-aith- ne so do na h-uile dhaoine posda; Fheara, gradhaichibh bhur mnai fein, eadhon mar a ghradhaich Criosd an EagLais, agus a thug se ei'ein air a son, chum gunnaomh- aicheadh agus gu'n glanadh e i le ionnlaid an uisge, tridan Fhoc- ail; chum gu'n cuireadh e'na lathair fein i 'na h-Eaglais ghlor- mhor, gun smal, gun phreasadh, no ni air bith d'an leithidibh sin; ach a chum gu'm biodh i naomh, agus neo-lochdach.

TI After vhich^ if there be no Sermon declaring the duties of Man and Wife, the Minister shall read as foUoiceth.

ALL ye that are mamed, or that intend to take the holy estate of Matrimony upon you, hear what the holy Scrip- ture doth say as touching the duty of husbands towards their wives, and wives towards their husbands.

St. Paul, in his Epistle to the Ephesians, the fifth chapter, doth give this commandment to all married men; Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of w\ater, by the Word; that he might present it to him- self a glorious Church, not hav- ing spot or wrinkle, or an}" such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself: For uo man ever yet haced his

bhean tha e '^a ghradhaehadh ft'in; oil- clia d'thui' duine saiu bith riamh fuatli d'a fheoil feiii. ach altruinaidh ai,^us eiridnidh e i, eadhon mar a ta an Tighearna a' deanainb do'n Eaglais; oir is buill sinu d'a cborp, d'a fbeoil agus d'a chnambaibh-sau. Air an aobhar so fagaidh duine Athair agus amhAthair, agus dlutb-lean- aidh e ri a mbuaoi; agus bithidh an dithis, nan aon fbeoil. Is diorahaireachd mhor so; ach labhram mu Chriosd agus an Eaglais: gidheadh,thugadhgach aon agaibhse fa leth gradh d'a mhnaoi amhuil mar dha fein.

Mar an ceudna tba'n t-Abstol Pol, a' scriobhadh chum nan Colosianacb, a labbairt ris na h-uile dhaoine posda air an doigb so; Fheara posda, gbradhaicb- ibh bhur mnai, agus na bithibh searbh 'nan aghaidh.

Cluinnibh mar an ceudna ciod a ta Naomh Peadar, Abstol Chriosd, neach a bba e fein 'na fhear posda, ag radh riusan a ta posda; Fheara posda gabhaibhse, combnuidh maille ri bhurmnaibh a reir eolais; a' toirt urram do'n mhnaoi, mar an soitheach a'san- mhuinne, agus mar mhuinntir ata 'nan comhoighreachaibh air gras na beatha, chum nach cuirear bacadh air bhur n-urnuighibh.

Gu ruige so, chuala sibh dleas- nas an fbir do'n mhnaoi. Anis mar an ceudiia, sibhse mhnai, eisdibh agus foghluimibh bhur dleasnas do bhur fearaibh-posda, eadhon mar a tae air'fhoillseach- e.dh gu soilleir 'san Scriobtuir naomh.

Anns an Litir a dh'ainmich- eadh roimhechumnan Ephe.-^ian- ach, tha N. Pol gar teagasg mar i 80; Mhnai, bithibh umbail do j bhur fearaibh fein, mar do'n Tighearna. Oir is e am fear 345 Q

own flesh, but nourisheth and c'lierisheth it, even as the Lord the Church: for we aiv mem- bers of his bodj, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife; and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mj'stery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as him- self.

Likewise the same Saint Paul, writing to the Colossians, speak- eth thus to all men that are married; Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Hear also what Saint Pet^r, the Apostle of Christ, who was himself a manned man, saitb unto them that are married; Ye husbands, dwell with your wives according to knowledge; giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

Hitherto ye have beard the duty of the husband towai'd the wdfe. Now likewise, ye wives, hear and leani your duties txi- ward your husbands, even as it is plainly set forth in hoi}' Scrip- ture.

Saint Paul, in the aforenamed Epistle to the Epliesians, teach- eth you t'lus; Wives, submit yourselves unto your own hus- bands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the bead of the 3

ceann na mna, eadhon mar is e 
Criosd ceann nah-Eaglais: ao^us 
is esan Slanuighear a' chuirp. 
Uime sin, mar a ta an Eaglais 
umhail do Chriosd, mar sin biodh 
iia mnai d'ani fearaibh fein mar 
an ceiidna anns gach ni. Agus 
a ris deir e, Feuchadh a' bhean 
gu'n d' thoir i urram d'a fear. 

Agus 'na Litir chum na Col- 
osianacb, tha Naoimh Pol a' toirt 
an Leasain ghoirid so d&gt;&gt;mbh; 
Mhnai, bithibh umhail d'ar tear- 
aibh fein, mar is cubhaidh anns 
an Tighearna. 

Tha Naomh Peadar mar an 
ceudna 'g'ur teagasg gu ro 
mhaith, ag radh mar so; Sibhse 
mhnai, bithibh umhail d'ar fear- 
aibh fein; chum ma tha dream 
air bith eas-umhait do'n Pbocal, 
gu'm bi iadsan mar an ceudna 
as eugmhais an Fhocail air an 
cosnadh le deagh chaithe- 
beatha nam ban; an uair a 
bheachdaicheas iadairbhurcaith- 
eadh-beatha geamnuidh maille

achd, figheadh an fhuilt agus a

gan umaibh, a' bhreaghachd sin 
thai o'n leth a muigh; ach duine 
folaichte a' chridhe, ann an neo- 
thruaillidheachd; eadhon breagh- 
achd spioraid mhacanta agus 
chiuin, ni a ta ro luachmhor ann 
an sealladh Dhe. Oir b' ann 
mar so a rinn na mnai naomh o 
shean, aig an robh an earbsa 
ann an Dia, iad fein brougha, air 
dhoibh bhi umhail d'am fear- 
aibh fein; amhuil a thug Sara

wife, even as Christ is the head 
of the Church: and he is the 
Saviour of the body. Therefore 
as the Church is subject unto 
Christ, so let the wives be to 
their own husbands in every 
thing. And again he saith. Let 
the wife see that she reverence 
her husband. 

And in his Epistle to the 
Colossians, Saint Paul giveth 
you this short lesson; Wives, 
submit yourselves unto your 
own husbands, as it is fit in the 
Lord. 

Saint Peter also doth instruct 
you very well, thus saying; Ye 
wives be in subjection to your 
own husbands; that if any obey 
not the word, they also may 
without the word be won by 
the conversation of the wives; 
while they behold your chaste 
conversation coupled with fear. 
Whose adorning, let it not be 
that outward adorning of plait- 
ing the hair and of wearing of 
gold, or of putting on of ap- 
parel; but let it be the hidden 
man of the heart, in that which 
is not corruptible; even the or- 
nament of a meek and quiet 
spirit, which is in the sight of 
God of great price. For after 
this manner in the old time the 
holy women also, who trusted 
in God, adorned themselves, 
being in subjection unto their 
own husbands; even as Sarah 
obeyed Abraham, calling him 
lord; whose daughters ye are 
as long as ye do well, and are 
not afraid with any amaze- 
ment.

^ If the Person visited he very sick, then the Curate may end his Exhort- ation in this place, or else proceed.

TAKE tberefore in good part the chastisement of the Lord: For (as Saint Paul saith in the twelfth Chapter to the Hebrews) whom the Lord lov- eth be chastenetb, andscourgeth every son whom be receivetb. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, where- of all are partakers, then ye are bastards, and not sons. Fur- thermore, we have bad fathers of our flesh, which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live ? For they veril}' for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but be tor our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. These words, good brother, are written in holy Scripture for our comfort and instruction; that we should patientl}^ and with thanksgiving, bear our heavenly Father's correction, whensoever by any manner of adversity it shall please his gracious good- ness to visit us. And there should be no greater comfort to Christian persons, than to be made like unto Christ, by suf- fering patiently adversities, troubles, and sicknesses. For he himself went not up to joy, but first he suffered pain; he I entered not into his glory, be- 1 lore be was crucified. So truly

our way to eternal joy is to suf- fer here with Christ; and our door to enter into eternal life, is gladly to die with Christ; that we may rise again from death, and dwell with him in everlasting life. Now, there- fore, taking your sickness, which is thus profitable for you, pa- tiently; I exhort N•ou, in the Name of God, to remember the profession which you made unto God in your Baptism. And forasmuch as after this life there is an account to be given unto the righteous Judge, by whom all must be judged without re- spect of persons, I require you to examine j'ourself and your estate, both towards God and man; so that accusing and con- demning yourself for your own faults, you may find mercy at our heavenly Father's hand for Christ's sake, and not be ac- cused and condemned in that fearful judgment. Therefore I shall rehearse to you the Ar- ticles of our Faith; that you may know whether you do be- lieve as a Chi'istian man should,

^ Here the Minisier shall reliearse Ute Articles of the Faith, sayinu thus:

And dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholick Church; the Communion of Saints; the Remission of sins; the Resurrection of the flesh; and everlasting life after death ?

Be thou my strong hold, whereunto I may alway resort: thou bast promised to help me; for thou art my house of de- fence, and my castle.

Deliver me, O mj-- God, out of the hand of the ungodly: out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For thou, Lord God, art the thing that I long for: thou art my hope, even from my youth.

Through thee have I been holden up ever since I was born: thou art be that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise shall alway be of thee.

O let my mouth be filled with thy praise: that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long.

O BLESSED Lord, the Fa- ther of mercies, and the God of all comforts; We be- seech thee, look down in pity and compassion upon this thy afflicted servant. Thou writest bitter things against him, and makest him to possess his former iniquities; thy wrath lieth hard upon him, and his soul is full of trouble: But, O merciful God, who hast written thy holy Word for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of thy holy Scriptures, might have hope; give him a right understanding of i^iw-se/f, and of thy threats and promises; that he may neither cast away his confidence in thee, nor place it any where but in thee. Give/^/;;i strength against all his tempta- tions, and heal all his distempers. Break not the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax. Shut not up thy tender mercies in displeasure; but make him to hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Deliver him from fear of the enemy.

I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle: while the ungodly is in my sight.

I held my tongue, and spake nothing: I kept silence, yea, even from good words; but it was pain and grief to me.

My heart was hot within me, and while I Avas thus musing, the fire kindled: and at the last I spake with my tongue;

Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days: that I may be certified bow long I have to live.

Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long: and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee; and verily every man living is altogether vanit}'.

For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.

And now. Lord, what is my hope: truly my hope is even in thee.

Deliver me from all mine offences: and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.

I became dumb, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doing.

Take tb y plague away from me: I am even consumed by means of thy heavy band.

When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment: every man therefore is but vanity.

Hear my pra5'^er, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling: hold not thy peace at my tears. 2

Oir is coigreacTi mi maille riut, agus fear cuairt: mar bha m'ath- raichean-uile.

Mu'n deachaidh na beannta a thoirt a mach, agus mu'n do dhealbh thu an talamh agus an cruinne-ce: eadhon o bhith- bhuantachd gu bith-bhuantachd is tusa Dia.

Tha thu tionndadh duine gu sgrios: agus deir thu ris, Pillibh, a chlann nan daoine.

Oir a ta mile bliadhna ann ad shealladh-sa, mar an la 'n de: 'n uair a theid e seachad, agus mar fhaire anns an oidhche.

Anns a mhadainn tha e fuidh bhlath, agus ag fas a suas: ach anns an fheasgar gearrar sios e, tiormaichidh e, agus seargaidh e.

Domine, refughim. Ps. xc.

LORD, thou hast been our refuge: from one genera- tion to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made; thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.

Thou turnest man to destruc- tion: again thou say est. Come again, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday: see- ing that is past as a watch in the night.

As soon as thou scatterest them, they are even as a sleep: and fade away suddenly like the grass.

In the morning it is green, and groweth up: but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.

For we consume away in thy displeasure: and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee: and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

For when thou art angry, all our days are gone: we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

The days of our age are three- score years and ten; and though

ge do bhiodh daoine co neart- mhor 's gun d' thig iad gu ceitbir fichead, gidheadh cha n'eil na spionnadh a sin ach saothair agus doilgheas: oir gearrar as e gu grad, agus siubhlaidh sinn.

Ach CO dheir fainear cumhachd do chorruich: oiv eadhon an deigh sin mar a bbitheas eagal air duine, mar sin tha dodhium.

Teagaisg dhuinn mar so ar laithean aireamh: chum gu soc- raich sinn ar cridhe air ghocas.

Sasuich sinn gu moch le d' trocair: a chum gu'n dean sinn gairdeachas agus aoibhneas re ar laithean uile.

Dean aoibhneach sinn a reir nan la air an do chraidh thu sinn: agus nam bliadhnan anns am faca sinn olc.

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

How are the dead raised up ? and with what body do they come ? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die.

So also is the resurrec- tion of the dead: It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incor- ruption: It is sownin dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body: it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit, that was not first which is spi- ritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spi- ritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. As we have borne the iuiage of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery: AVe shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the

That he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

The snares of death compassed me round about: and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.

I found trouble and heaviness, and I called upon the Name of the Lord: Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: yea, our God is merciful.

But let us, while we have the light, believe in the light, and walk as children of the light; that we be not cast into utter darkness, where is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Let us not abuse the goodness of God, who calleth us mercifully to amend- ment, and 01 his endless pity i promiseth us forgiveness of that I which is past, if with a perfect and true heart we return unto him. For though our sins be I as red as scarlet, they shall be ! made white as snow; and I though they be like purple, yet I they shall be made white as wool. Turn ye (saith the Lord) from all your wickedness, and 3^our sins shall not be your destruction: Cast away from you all your ungodhness that ye have done: make you new hearts and a new spirit: Where- fore will ye die, O ye bouse of I Israel, seeing that I have no ' pleasure in the death of him ! that dieth, saith the Lord God ? Turn ye then, and ye shall live. i Although we have sinned, yet : have we an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righte- j ous; and he is the propitiation I for our sins.

HAVE mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness: according to the mul- titude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

Wash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee only have I sin-

pheacaich mi, agus rinn mi an t-olc so a' d' shealladh, air chor as gu'm fireanaichear thusa 'n uair a labhras tu, agus gu'm bi thu glan 'n uair a bheir thu breth.

Feuch, ann an aingeachd dhealbhadh mi, agus ann am peacadh ghabh mo mbathair mi 'na broinn.

Feuch tha thu ag iarraidh firinn 's an taobh a stigh: agus bheir thu orm ghocas a thuig- sinn gu uaigneach.

Glanaidh tu mi le hisop, agus bithidh mi glan: ionnlaididh tu mi, agus bithidh mi ni 's gile na sneachda.

Thoir orm guth subhachais agus aoibhneis a chluinntinn: agus ni na cnàimhean a bhris thu gairdeachas.

Foluich do ghnuis o m' pheac- aibh, agus dubh as m' ea-cearta gu leir.

Cnithaich annam cridhe glan, O Dhe: agus ath-nuadhaich spiorad ceart an taobh a stigh dhiom.

Na tilg mi d' shealladh: agus na toir do Spiorad naomh uam.

Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts; and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Turn thy face away from my sins: and put out all my mis- deeds.

Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from th}' presence: and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.

O give me the comfort of thy help again: and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from blood-guilti- ness, O God, thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of thy righte- ousness.

Thou shalt open my lips, Lord: and my mouth shall shew thy praise.

For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt- offerings.

BLESSED is the man that bath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners: and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord: and in his law will he exercise himself day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side: that will bring forth his fruit in due season.

4 His leaf also shall not wither: and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

6 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement: neither the sinners in the congregation of the righte- ous.

LORD, bow are they in- creased that trouble me: many are they that rise against me.

2 Many one there be that say of my soul: There is no help for hira in his God.

3 But thou, Lord, art my defender: thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my bead.

4 I did call upon the Lord with my voice: and he beard me out of his holy bill.

I laid me down and slept, and rose up again: for the Lord sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people: that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Up, Lord, and help me,

my God: for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheek- bone; thou bast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Psalm iv. Cum invocarein.

Salm xi. In Domino cnvfido.

ANNS an Tighearna tha mi cuir mo dhochais; cia mar their sibh ma seadh ri m'anam, gum bu cboir dha teicbeadh mar eun chum an t'sleibh ?

2 Oir feuch, tha na b-aingidh a lubadh am bodha, agus a gleusadh an saigbdean 'n taobh a steach do 'n bbalg; chum gu 'n tilg iad OS n-iosal orrasan aig am bheil cridhe fior.

3 Oir bithidh na bunaitean air an tilgeadh sios; agus ciod a rinn am firean ?

4 Tba'n Tighearna na tbeam- puU naomh; tha righ-chathair an Tighearna air neamh.

5 tha sbuilean a beachdaeh- adh air a hbochd; agus leucb- aidh a rosgan clann nan daoine.

6 Is taitneach do 'n Tighearna am firean; ach s' fuathach le anam an t-aingidh, agus an neach tha gabhail tlachd an olc.

7 Doirtidh e air na h-aingidh ribeachan, teine agus pronnusc, stoirm agus doinionn: bithidh so na chuibhrionn dhoibh ri ol.

8 Oir 's ionmhuinn leis an Tighearna cheart an fhirean- tachd; agus beachdaichidh a ghnuis air a ni a ta ceart.

Psalm xi. In Domino conMo.

IN the Lord put I my trust '• how say ye then to my soul, That she sbould flee as a bird unto the hill ?

2 For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows within the quiver: that they may privily shoot at them which are true of heart.

3 For the foundations will be cast down: and what hath the righteous done ?

4 The Lord is in his holy temple: the Lord's seat is in heaven.

5 His eyes consider the poor: and his eye- lids try the children of men.

6 The Lord alloweth the righteous: but the ungodly and him that delighteth in wicked- ness, doth his soul abhor.

7 Upon the ungodly be shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.

8 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness: his coun- tenance will behold the thing that is just.

2 They are corrupt, and be- come abominable in their doings: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men: to see if there were any that would understand, and seek after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether be- come abominable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

5 Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues have they deceived: the poison of asps is under their lips.

6 Their mouth is full of curs- ing and bitterness: their feet are swift to shed blood.

7 Destruction and unhappi- ness is in their ways, and the way of peace have they not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

8 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief: eating up my people as it were bread, and call not upon the Lord ?

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass: and be withered even as the green herb.

3 Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good: dwell in the land, and verilj'- thou shalt be fed.

17 Hear me, Lord, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies.

18 And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: haste thee, and hear me.

19 Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it: O deliver me, be- cause of mine enemies.

20 Thou hast known my re- proof, my shame, and my dis- honour: mine adversaries are all in thy sight.

21 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart; I am fall of heavi- ness: I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comfort me.

22 They gave me gall to eat: and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink-

23 Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal: and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling.

24 Let their eyes be blinded, that they see not: and ever bow thou down their backs.

25 Pour out thine indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful displeasure take hold of them.

26 Let their habitation be void: and no man to dwell in their tents.

27 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten: and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded.

14 Thou didst divide the sea through th J power: thou brak- est the heads of the dragons in the waters.

15 Thou smotest the heads of Leviathan in pieces: and ga vest him to be meat for the people in the wilderness.

16 Thou broughtest out foun- tains and waters out of the hard rocks: thou driedst up mighty- waters.

17 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast pre- pared the light and the sun.

18 Thou hast set all the bor- ders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

19 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy hath rebuked: and how the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.

20 deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the multi- tude of the enemies: and forget not the congregation of the poor for ever.

21 Look upon the covenant: for all the earth is full of dark- ness, and cruel habitations.

22 let not the simple go away ashamed: but let the poor and needy give praise unto thy Name.

23 Arise, O God, maintain thine own cause: remember how the foolish man blasphem- eth thee daily.

3 When I receive the con- gregation: I shall judge accord- ing unto right.

4 The earth is weak, and all the inhabiters thereof: I bear up the pillars of it.

5 I said unto the fools. Deal not so madly: and to the un- godly, Set not up your horn.

6 Set not up your horn on high: and speak not with a stiff neck.

7 For promotion cometh nei- ther from the east, nor from the west: nor from the south.

8 And why? God is the

1 Judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

! 9 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixed, and he poureth out of the same.

10 As for the dregs thereof: all the ungodly of the earth shall drink them, and suck them out.

11 But I will talk of the God of Jacob: and praise him for ever.

12 All the horns of the un- godly also will I break: and the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

62 He delivered their power into captivity: and their beauty into the enemy's hand.

63 He gave his people over also unto the sword: and was wroth with his inheritance.

64 The fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not given to marriage.

65 Their priests were slain with the sword: and there were no widows to make lamentation.

66 So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep: and like a giant refreshed with wine.

67 He smote his enemies in the hinder parts: and put them to a perpetual shame.

68 He refused the tabernacle of Joesph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;

69 But chose the tribe of Judah: even the hill of Sion, which he loved.

70 And there he built his temple on high: and laid the foundation of it like the ground which he hath made continually.

71 He chose David also his servant: and took him away from the sheepfolds.

72 As he was following the ewes great with young ones he took him: that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

73 So he fed them with a faithful and true heart: and ruled them prudently with all his power.

8 I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints that they turn not again.

9 For his salvation is nigh them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our laud.

10 Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and pea-e have kissed each other.

11 Truth shall flourish out of the earth: and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Yea, the Lord shall shew loving-kindness: and our land shall give her increase.

13 Righteousness shall go be- fore him: and he shall direct his going in the wàj.

I AM well pleased: that the Lord hath heard the voice of my prayer;

2 That he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The snares of death com- passed me round about: and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.

4 I shall find trouble and hea- \aness; and I will call upon the Name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: j'ea, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.

7 Turn again then unto thy rest, ni}^ scul: for the Lord hath rewarded thee.

And are heartily sorry for these our mis- doings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us.

Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy Name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The}' went astray in the wil- derness out of the way: and found no city to dwell in;

Hungry and thirst}'': their soul fainted in them.

So they cried unto the Lord

Tighearna 'nan trioblaid; agus dh'fhuasgail e iad bho'n teann- eiginn.

Threoruich e iad amach air an t-slighe cheart; chum gu'n reachadh iad dh'ionnsaidh a bhaile 'sna ghabh iad comh- nuidh.

O gu'n tugadh daoine moladh do'n Tighearna air son a mhaith- eis; agus gu'n cuireadh iad an ceill na h-iongantais tha e dean- amh air son cloinn nan daoine !

Oir tha e sasuchadh an anama fhalamh; agus a lionadh an anama ocraich le maitheas;

Mheud is tha suidhe an dorchadas, agus a sgaile a bhais; air bhi dhoibh ceangailt gu teann ann an truaigh, agus an iarunn.

Chionn gun d' rinn iad ceann- airc an aghaidh briathran an Tighearna; agus gun do chuir iad an neo-brigh comhairle an ti 's airde.

Thug e sios an cridheachan fos le tursadh: thuit iad sios, agus cha robh aon neach a dheanadh cobhair orra.

Mar sin 'nuair a ghlaodh iad ris an Tighearna 'nan trioblaid: dh'fhuasgail e orra as an teann- eiginn.

Oir thug e iad a dorchadas, agus a sgaile a bhais; agus bhrist e an cuibhrichean nam bloidean.

gu moladh daoine uime sin an Tighearna air son a mhaith- eis; agus gu'n cuireadh iad an ceill na h-iongantais tha e dean- amh do chloinn nan daoine !

Oir bhrist e na geatachan prais; agus bhuail e na croinn iaruinn 'nam bloidean.

in their trouble: and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them forth by the right way: that they might go to the city where they dwelt.

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men !

For he satisfieth the empty soul: and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: being fast bound in misery and iron;

Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord: and lightly regarded the counsel of the most Highest;

He also brought down their heart through heaviness: they iell down, and there was none to help them.

So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he de- livered them out of their distress.

For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death: and brake their bonds in sunder.

that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men !

For he hath broken the gates of brass: and smitten the bars of iron in sunder.

Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their wickedness.

Their soul abhorred all manner

Mar sin 'nuair a gblaodh iad lis an Tighearna 'nan trioblaid; dh'fhuasgail e orra as an teann- eiginn.

Chuir e mach fhocal, agus leighis e iad; agus shabhaladh iad bho'n doruinn.

O gu moladh daoine uime sin an Tighearna air son a mhaitheis; agus gu'n cuireadh iad an ceill na h-iungantais tha e deanamh do chloinn nan daoine.

Gu'n tairgeadh iad dha iob- airt breith-buidheachais; agus gu'n innseadh iad amaeh oibre le aoibhneas !

Air fhocal eiridh a ghaoth stoirmeil; a thogas suas a thonna.

Tha iad air an giuian suas gu neamh, agus sios a ris do'n doimhneachd; tha 'n anama a leaghadh as leis an trioblaid.

Tha iad air an luasgadh thuig agus uaithe, agus ag tuisleadh mar dhuine misg- each; agus tha iad aig ceann an ceille.

Mar sin 'nuair a gblaodhas iad ris an Tighearna nan triob- laid; saoraidh e iad as an teann-eiginn.

Oir bheir e air an doirionn sgur; ionnas gun bi a tonna samhach.

that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men !

That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving;: and tell out his works with glal- ness !

They that go down to the sea in ships: and occupy their busi- ness in great waters;

These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the stormy wind ariseth: which ILfteth up the waves therof.

They are carried np to the heaven, and down ajain to the deep: their soul melteth away because of the trouble.

They reel to and fro, and stag- ger like a drunken man: and are at their wits' end.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he deli- vereth them out of their distress.

For he maketh the storm to cease: so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad, because they are at rest: and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

and wonders in the deep,that we might see how powerful and gracious a God thou art; how able and ready to help them that trust in thee. Thou hast shewed us how both winds and seas obey thy command: that we may learn, even from them, hereafter to obey thy voice, and to do thy will. We therefore bless and glorify thy Name, for this thy mercy in saving us, when we were ready to perish. And, we be- seech thee, make us as truly sensible now of thy mercy, as we were then of the danger: And give us hearts always ready to express our thankfulness, not only by words, but also by our lives, in being more obedient to thy holy commandments. Con- tinue, we beseech thee, this thy goodness to us; that we, whom thou hast saved may serve thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Sa- viour.

He that descended, is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers; for the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the Ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ; till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them, but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again. Verily, verily I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

taken out of the Gospel, and the writings of the Apostles, of what dignity, and of how great importance this Office is, where- unto ye are called. And now again we exhort you, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you have in remembrance, into how high a Dignity, and to how weighty an Office and Charge ye are called: that is to sa}', to be Messengers, Watch- men, and Stewards of the Lord; to teach, and to premonish, to feed and provide for the Lord's family; to seek for Christ's sheep that are dispersed abroad, and for his children who are in the midst of this naughty world, that they may be saved through Christ for ever.

Have always therefore printed in your remembrance, how great a treasure is committed to your charge. For they are the sheep of Christ, which he bought with his death, and for whom he shed his blood. The Church and Congregation whom you must serve, is his Spouse, I and his Body. And if it shall happen the same Church, or any Member thereof, to take any hurt or hindrance by reason of your neghgence, ye know the greatness of the fault, and also the horrible punishment that will ensue. Wherefore consider with yourselves the end of your Ministry towards the children of God, towards the Spouse and Body of Christ; and see that you never cease your labour, your care and diligence, until you have done all that lieth in you, according to your bounden duty, to bring all such as are or shall be committed to your charge, unto that agreement in the faith and knowledge of God,

and to that ripeness and perfect- ness of age in Christ, that there be no place left among you, either for error in religion, or for viciousness in life.

Forasmuch then as your Office is both of so great ex- cellency', and of so great diffi- culty, ye see with how great care and study 3'e ought to apply yourselves, as well that ye ma}" shew yourselves dutiful and thankful unto that Lord, who hath placed you in so high a Dignity; as also to beware, that neither 3'ou 3'onrselves otlend, nor be occasion that others offend. Howbeit, ye cannot have a mind and will thereto of yourselves; for that will and abilit}'^ is given of God alone: therefore ye ought, and have need, to pray earnestly for his Holy Spirit. And seeing that 3'ou cannot by any other means compass the doing of so weighty a work, pertaining to the salvation of man, but with doctrine and exhortation taken out of the holy Scriptures, and with a life agreeable to the same; consider how studious ye ought to be in reading and learning the Scriptures, and in framing the manners both of yourselves, and of them that specially pertain unto you, according to the rule of the same Scriptures: and for this self- same cause, how ye ought to forsake and set aside (as much as you may) all worldly cares and studies.

And now, that this present Congregation of Christ here assembled may also understand 3'our minds and wills in these things, and that this your promise may the more move you to do your duties, 3'e shall , answer plainly to these things, which we, in the Name of God, and of his Church, shall demand of you touching the same.

The Bishop.

Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons, serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears and temptations which befel me by the lying in wait of the Jews; and how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, re- pentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befal me there; save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and af- flictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God. And now behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the king- dom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to de- clare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore un- to yourselves, and to all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you Overseers, to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.

And are you determined out of the same holy Scriptures to in- struct the people committed to your charge; and to teach or maintain nothing as required of necessity to eternal salvation, but that which you shall be per- suaded may be concluded and proved by the same ^

Ansicer. I am so persuaded,

and determined, by God's grace.

The Archbishop.

WILL you then faithfully exercise yourself in the same holy Scriptures, and call upon God by prayer, for the true understanding of the same; so as you may be able by them to teach and exhort with wholesome Doctrine, and to withstand and convince the gainsayers ?

Answer. I will so do, by the help of God.

DEARLY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pil- grims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation hon- est among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they shall behold, glorify God in the day ofvisitation. Submityourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the King, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of ma- liciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the King.

All the Books of the New Testament, as they are common- ly received, we do receive, and account them Canonical.

VII. Of the Old Testament.

THE Old Testament is not contrary to the New: for both in the Old and New Testa- ment everlasting life is offered to Mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and Man, being both God and Man. Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign that the old Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any common-wealth; yet notwith- standing, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obe- dience of the Commandments which are called Moral.

IX. Of original or Birth-sin.

ORIGINAL Sin standeth not in the following ot Adam, (as the Pelagians do vainly talk;) but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every man, that naturally is ingendered of the offspring of Adam; whereb}'^ man is very far gone from original righteous- ness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the Spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserveth God's wrath and damnation. And this in- fection of nature doth remain, yea in them that are regene- rated; whereby the lust of the flesh, called in the Greek, ^pijvr]ixa (TapKos, which some do expound the wisdom, some sen- suality, some the affection, some the desire, of the llesh, is not subject to the Law of God. And although there is no con- demnation for them that believe and are baptized, yet the Apostle doth confess, that con- cupiscence and lust hath of it- self the nature of sin.

X. Of Free- Will

XI. OfUieJufftiJtcationofMan.

WE are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or deserv- ings: Wherctbre, that we are justified by Faith only is a most wholesome Doctrine, and very full of comfort, as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification.

XII. Of Good Worhf.

ALBEIT that Good Works, which are the fruits of Faith, and follow after Justifi- cation, cannot put away our sins, and endure the severity of God's Judgement; yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, and do spring out necessarily of a true and lively Faith; insomuch that by them a lively Faith may be as evidently known as a tree discerned by the fruit.

XIII. Of WorJcs before Justifi- cation, WORKS done before the grace of Christ, and the Inspiration of his Spirit, are not pleasant to God, forasmuch as they spring not of faith in Jesus Christ, neither do they make men meet to receive grace, or (as the School-authors say) de- serve grace of congruity; yea

XIV. Of Worhs of Supereroga- tion. VOLUNTARY Works be- sides, over and above, God's Commandments, which they call "Works of Supereroga- tion, cannot be taught without arrogance and impiet3^: for by them men do declare, that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they do more for his sake, than of bounden duty is required: whereas Christ saith plainly. When ye have done all that are commanded to you, say. We are unprotitable ser- vants.

XV. Of Christ alone without Sin.

CHRIST in the truth of our nature was made like unto us in all things, sin only except, from which he was clearly void, both in his flesh, and in his spirit. He came to be the Lamb with- out spot, who, by sacrifice of himself once made, should take away the sins of the world, and sin, as Saint Johii saith, was not in liim. Bat all we the rest, al- though baptized, and born again in Christ, yet offend in many things; and if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

XVI. Of Sin after Baptism.

|V[OT every deadly sin wil- 1^ lingj^y committed after Baptism is sin against the Holy Ghost, and unpardonable. Wherefore the grant of re- pentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after Baptism. After we have re- ceived the Holy Ghost, we may de])art from grace given, and fall into sin, and by the grace of God we may arise again, and amend our lives. And therefore they are to be con- demned, which say, they can no more sin as long as they live here, or deny the place of forgiveness to such as truly re- pent.

XVII. Of Predestination and Election.

PREDESTINATION to Life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby (before the foundations of the world were laid) he hath constantly decreed by his counsel secret to us, to deliver from curse and damna- tion those whom he hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to ever- lasting salvation, as vessels made to honour. Wherefore, they which he hath endued with so excellent a benefit of God he called according to God's pur- pose by his Spirit working in due season: they through Grace obey the calling: they be justi- fied freely: they be made sons of God by adoption: they be made like the image of his only- begotten Son Jesus Christ: they G G

As the godly consideration of Predestination, and our Election in Christ, is full of sweet, pleasant, and unspeakable com- fort to godly persons, and such as feel in themselves the working of the Spirit of Christ, mortify- j ing the works of the llesh, and ! their earthly members, and 1 drawing up their mind to high I and heavenly things, as well be- I cause it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eterr.al Salvation to be enjoyed through j Christ, as because it doth fer- I vently kindle their love towards God: So, for curious and carnal [ persons, lacking the Spirit of Christ, to have continually be- I fore their eyes the sentence o£ God's Predestination, is a most j dangerous downfal, whereby the j Devil doth thrust them either I into desperation, or into wretch- I lessness of most unclean living, no less perilous than desperation. Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in such wise, as they be generally set forth to us in holy Scripture: and, in our doings, that Will of God is to be followed, which we have ex- pressly declared unto us in the Word of God.

THE Church hath power to decree Rites or Ceremonies, and authority in controversies of Faith: And yet it is not lawful for the Church to ordain any thing that is contrary to God's Word Avritten, neither may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to another. Wherefore, although the Church be a witness and a keeper of holy Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree any thing against the same, so besides the same ought it not to enforce any thing to he believed for necessity of Sal- vation.

And those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent, which be chosen and called to this work by men who have publick authority given unto them in the Congregaticm, to call and send Ministers into the. Lord's vineyard.

XXIV. Ofsppah'nff in the Con- cfrecfation in such a tongue as the people tinderstandeth.

JT is a thing plainly repug- nant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church, to have publick Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments in a tongue not understanded of the people.

XXV. Of the Sacraments.

SACRAMENTS ordained of Christ be not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but rather they be cer- tain sure witnesses, and effectual signs of grace, and God's good Avill towards us. by the which he doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our Faith in bim.

There are two Sacraments or- dained of Christ our Lord in the Gospel, that is to sa}^ Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord.

Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to saj', Con- firmation, Penance, Orders, Ma- trimony, and extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacra- ments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partlj-- of the corrupt following of th e Apostles, partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures; but yet have not like nature of Sacraments with Baptism, and the Loi'd's Supper, for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony or- dained of God.

The Sacraments were not or- dained of Christ to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that Ave should duly use them. And in such only as worthily receive the same they have a wholesome effect or ope- ration: but they that receive them unworthily purchase to themselves damnation, as Saint Paul saith.

ALTHOUGH in the visible Church the evil be ever mingled with the good, and sometimes the evil have chief authority in the Ministration of the Word and Sacraments, yet forasmuch as they do not the same in their own name, but in Christ's, and do minister by his commission and authority, we may use their Ministry, both in hearing the Word of God, and I in receiving of the Sacraments. Neither is the effect of Christ's ordinance taken away by their wickedness, nor the grace of God's gilts diminished from such as by faith and rightly do receive the Sacraments ministered unto them; which be etlectual, be- cause of Christ's institution and promise, although they be minis- tered by evil men.

Nevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of the Church, that enquiry be made of evil Ministers, and that they be ac- cused by those that have know-

XXVII. Of Baptism.

BAPTlJS]\r is not only a sign of profession, and mark of difference, whereb}-^ Christian men are discerned from others that be not christened, but it is also a sign of Regeneration or new Birth, whereby, as by an instrument, they that receive Baptism rightly are grafted into the Church; the promises of forgiveness of sin, and of our adoption to be the sons of God by the Holy Ghost, are visibly signed and sealed; Faith is confirmed; and Grace increased by virtue of prayer unto God. The Baptism of young Children is in any wise to be retained in the Church, as most agreeable with the institution of Christ.

XXYIII. Of the Lord's Sujjjjer.

THE Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to an- other; but rather is a Sacra- ment of our Redemption by Christ's death: insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith receive the same, the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ.

change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, over- throweth the nature of a Sacra- ment, and hath given occasion to many superstitions.

The Body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in the iSupper, only after an heavenlj' and spi- ritual manner. And the mean whereb}' the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Sup^ per is Faith.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's or- dinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped.

XXTX. Of the Wicked ichich sat not the Body of Christ in the use of the Lord's Supper.

THE Wicked, and such as be void of a lively faith, al- though they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth (as Saint Augustine saith) the Sacratnent of the Body and Blood of Christ, yet in no wise are they partakers of Christ: but rather, to their condemna- tion, do eat and drink the sign or Sacrament of so great a thing.

XXX. Ofhoth kinds.

THE Cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the Lay- people: for both the parts of the Lord's Sacrament, by Christ's ordinance and commandment, ought to be ministered to all Christian men alike.

Whosoever through his private judgement, willingly and pur- posely, doth openly break the traditions and ceremonies of the Church, which be not repug- nant to the Word of God, and be ordained and approved by common authoriU^ ought to be rebuked openly, (that otheis may fear to do the like,) as he that offendeth against the common order of the Church, and hurteth the authority of the Magistrate, and wound- eth the consciences of the weak brethren.
