them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, thall be loved of my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas faith unto him (not Ifcariot,) Lord, how is

unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and faid 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 fayings: and the word which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's which fent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet prefent with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will fend in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have faid unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give, unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I faid unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I faid, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass; that when it is come to pafs, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even fo I do.

For the Epistle. Acts x. 34. HEN Peter opened his mouth, and faid, Of a truth I perceive that God is no refpecter of perfons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God fent unto the children of Ifrael, preaching peace by Jefus Chrift; (he is Lord of all;) that word, I fay, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptisin which John preached: how God anointed Jefus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghoft and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppreffed of the devil: for God was with him. And we are witneffes of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerufalem; whom they flew and hanged on a tree. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chofen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with hun after he rofe from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to teftify 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 whofoever believeth in him thall receive remiffion of fins. While Peter yet fpake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcifion which believed were aftonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost for they heard them fpeak with tongues, and magnity God. Then anfwered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be bap. tized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

The Gospel. John iii. 16. OD fo loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whofoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlafting life. For God fent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be faved. He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, left his deeds should be reproved: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.

The Gospel. John x. 1.

ERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the theepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the fame is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the thepherd of the theep. 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 theep 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 faid Jefus unto them again, Verily, verily, I fay unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pafture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to deftroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

WHEN the apostles which the Unity; We befeech thee, that

were at Jerufalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they fent unto them Peter and John: who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghoft for as yet he was fallen upon none of them; only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then laid they their hands on them, d they received the Holy Ghost.

For the Epistle. Rev. iv. 1. FTER this I looked, and, a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which faid, Come up hither, and I will

fhew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was fet in heaven, and one fat on the throne. And he that fat was to look upon like a jafper and a fardine-ftone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in fight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty feats: and upon the feats I saw four and twenty elders fitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded light wings and thunderings and voi ces and there were feven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the feven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a fea of glass, like unto cryfial: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beafts, full of eyes before and behind. And the firft beaft was like a lion, and the fecond beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beafts had each of them fix wings about him; and they were full of eyes within and they reft not day and night, faying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beafts give glory and honour and thanks to him that fat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that fat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and caft their crowns before the throne, faying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou haft created all things, and for thy pleafure they are and were created.

The Gospel. John iii. 1.
HERE was a

man of the

Pharifees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the fame came to Jefus by night, and taid unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from

God; for no man can do thefe miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jetusanswered and faid unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus faith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the fecond time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is fpirit. Marvel not that I faid unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it lifteth, and thou hearest the found thereof, but canft not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and faid unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and faid unto hin, Art thou a master of Ifrael, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how thall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath afcended up to heaven.but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Motes lifted up the ferpent in the wildermess, even fo musft the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in him should notperish, but have eternal life.

The Epistle. 1 John iii. 13. ARVEL not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have paffed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. Whofoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and feeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compaffion 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 affure our hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God: And whatsoever we alk, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his fight. And this is his commandment, That we thould believe on the name of his Son Jefus Chrift, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

The Gospel. Luke xiv. 16. CERTAIN man made a great fupper, and bade many: and fent his fervant at fupper-time to fay to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one confent began to make ex cufe. The first laid unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I muft needs go and fee it: I pray thee have me excused. And another faid, I have bought

five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another faid, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. me. So that fervant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the mafter of the house, being angry, faid to his fervant, 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 fervant faid, Lord, it is done as thou haft commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord faid unto the fervant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For 1 fay unto you, That none of thosemen which were bidden shall taste of my fupper.
