For which Things fake the Wrath of God cometh on the Children of Difobedience.

In the which you also walked when you lived in them.

But now you also put off all these; Anger, Wrath, Malice, Blasphemy, filthy Communication out of your Mouth.

Lye not one to another, seeing that you have put off the Old Man with his Deeds; And have put on the New Man, which is renewed in Knowledge, after the Image of Him that created him.

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, Circumcifion nor Uncircumcifion, Barbarian, Scythian, Bond or Free, but Chrift is all in all.

Responsory.] O glorious Jesus! in whom we live, and without whom we die, mortifie in us all Sensual Desires, and quicken our Hearts with thy holy Love; that we may no longer esteem the Vanities of the World, but place our Affections intirely on Thee; *Who didft die for our Sins, and rise again for our Justification. O thou, our only Hope and Portion in the Land of the Living, may our Thoughts and Discourses still be of Thee, our Works and Sufferings all for Thee; * Who didst die for our Sins, and rife again for our Justification.

God,

UT on therefore (as the Elect of holy, and beloved) Bowels of Mercy, Kindness, Humbleness of Mind, Meekness, Long-fuffering;

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any Man have a Quarrel against any; even as Chrift forgave you, fo also do ye.

And, above all things, put on Charity, which is the Bond of Perfectness.

And let the Peace of God rule in your Hearts, to the which also ye are called in one Body; and be ye thankful.

Let the Word of God dwell in you richly in all Wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in Pfalms and Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, finging with Grace in your Hearts unto the Lord.

And whatsoever ye do in Word and Deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jefus, giving Thanks to God and the Father by Him.

Wives be subject unto your own Hufbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Husbands love your Wives, and be not bitter against them.

Children obey your Parents in all Things,

for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord.

Fathers provoke not your Children to

Anger, left they be discouraged.

Ser

Servants obey in all Things your Masters, according to the Flesh; not with Eye-Service, as Men-pleasers, but in Singleness of Heart, fearing God.

And whatsoever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not as unto Men.

Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the Reward of the Inheritance: For ye serve the Lord Christ.

But he that doth Wrong, shall receive for the Wrong which he hath done; and there is no Respect of Persons.

Refponf.] Open thou our Eyes, O Lord, that we may fee the Beauty of thy Commands; how wife and sweet they are in themselves, how necessary and beneficial unto us : * While they improve our Felicity bere, and entitle us to that of hereafter. Guide thou our Lives, O Lord, in the Ways of thy Precepts, that by observing faithfully these excellent Rules, we may be all every-where happy. *While, &c.

of the Hebrews

L

ET us

lay aside every Weight, and the Sin that doth so easily beset us, and let us run with Patience the Race that is fet before us.

Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith; who for the Joy that

was

was set before him, endured the Cross, despising the Shame, and is set down at the Right-Hand of the Throne of God.

For, consider him that endured such Contradiction of Sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your Minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto Blood, striving against Sin.

And you have forgot the Exhortation, which speaketh unto you, as unto Children, My Son, despise not thou the Chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.

For whom the Lord loveth, he chafteneth, and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth.

Now no chastning for the Time seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable Fruit of Righteousness unto them who are exercised thereby.

Follow Peace with all Men, and Holiness, without which no Man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently, lest any Man fail of the Grace of God; lest any Root of Bitterness springing up, trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.

Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers, for thereby fome have entertained Angels

unawares.

Remember them that are in Bonds, as bound with them; and them which fuffer Adversity, as being your selves also in the Body.

Let

Let your Conversation be without Co

vetousness, and be contented with such Things as you have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forfake thee.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what Man can do unto me.

Now the God of Peace, who brought again from the Dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the Blood of the everlasting Covenant,

Make you perfect in every good Work,' to do his Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his Sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be Glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Respons.] Thither, O my Soul, let us still be going, where once to arrive, is always to be happy: * Since whate're we defire we are sure to have, and whate're we have can never be taken from us. Let us believe, and obey, and suffer; let us read, meditate and pray: Heaven is a Reward worth all our Pains: * Since whate're we defire

Glory be to the Father, &c.
As it was in the Beginning, &c.
