that he abideth in us, by the
Spirit which he hath given us.

And they all with one confent began to make excufe: The first faid unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and fee it; I pray thee have me excufed: And another faid, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excufed: And another faid, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

Then the mafter of the houfe, 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.

For the creature was made fubject to vanity, not willingly, but by reafon of him who hath fubjected the fame in hope; be. caufe the creature itself alfo fhall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The Epifle. 1 S. Pet. 3. 8. BE Eye all of one mind, having compaffion one of another; love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous : not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but contrariwife, bleffing; know ing that ye are thereunto called, that ye fhould inherit a bleffing. For he that will love life, and fee good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they fpeak no guile: let him efchew evil, and de good: let him feek peace, and enfue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye fuffer for righteoufnefs fake, happy are ye; and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but fanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

I came to pafs, that as the people preffed upon him to hear the Word of God, he flood by the lake of Gennefareth, and faw two fhips ftanding by the lake; but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the fhips, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thruft out a little from the land: and he fat down, and taught the people out of the

And they came and filled both the fhips, fo that they began to fink. When Simon Peter faw it, he fell down at Jefus knees, faying, Depart from me, for I am a finful man, O Lord. For he was aftonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: and fo was alfo James and John the fons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jefus faid unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their fhips to land, they forfook all and followed him.

death; that like as Chrift was raifed up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even fo we alfo (hould walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be alfo in the likeness of his refurrection; knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of fin might be deftroyed, that henceforth we fhould not ferve fin, For he that is dead is freed from fin. Now if we be dead with Chrift, we believe that we shall alfo live with him; knowing that Chrift being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto fin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewife reckon ye alfo yourfelves to be dead indeed unto fin, but alive unto God, through Jefus Chrift our Lord.

The Epiftle. Rom. 6, 19. Speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmi ty of your flesh for as ye have yielded your members fervants to uncleanness, and to iniquity, unto iniquity; even fo row yield your members fervants to righteousness, unto heliness. For when ye were the fervants of fin, ye were free from righteoufnefs. What fruit had he then in thofe things whereof ye are now afhamed? for the end of thofe things is death. But now being made free from fin, and become fervants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the ent everlasting life. For the wages of fin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jefus Chrift our Lord.
