our lives for the brethren. all things are now ready. And

But whofo hath this world's good, and feeth his brother have need, and fhutteth 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 towards God. And whatfoever we ask, 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 should 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.

For the earneft expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifeftation of the Sons of God. For the creature was made fubject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath fubjected the fame in hope: because the creature itself alfo shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth, and travaileth in pain together until now: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firft fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves

RANT, O Lord, we befeech thee, that the course of this world may be fo peaceably ordered by thy governance, that thy Church may joyfully ferve thee in all godly quietnefs, through Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen. The Epiftle. 1 St. Peter iii. 8. 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; knowing 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 do 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 righteoufness fake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but fanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Now when he had left fpeaking, he faid unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering, faid unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they enclofed a great multitude of fishes, and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners which were in the other fhip, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the fhips; fo that they began to fink. When Simon Peter faw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, faying, Depart from me, for I am a finful man, O Lord.
