THE EPISTLE. 1 Peter 2. 11.

EARLY beloved, I beseech you as strangers andpilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war

against the soul. Let your conduct be honourable

among the Gentiles; that, whereas they speak againstyou as evil doers, they may, by your good works whichthey shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for theLord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme; orunto governors, as unto them that are sent by him, forthe punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of themthat do well. For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolishmen: as free men, and not using your liberty for a cloak

of maliciousness; but as the servants of God. Honour allmen. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Whytempt ye me, ye hypocrites? show me the tribute-

money. And they brought unto him a penny. And hesaith unto them, Whose is this image andsuperscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Thensaith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar thethings which are Caesar's; and unto God the things thatare God's. When they had heard these words, theymarvelled, and left him, and went their way.

For we hear that there are somewhich walk among you disorderly, working not at all,but are busybodies.

THE GOSPEL. St Matthew 24. 3.

S Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciplescame unto him privately, saying: Tell us, when

shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy

coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesusanswered and said unto them: Take heed that no mandeceive you, For many shall come in my Name, saying: Iam Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear ofwars and rumours of wars; see that you be not troubled;for all these things must come to pass, but the end is notyet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdomagainst kingdom; and there shall be famines, andpestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All theseare the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver

you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you; And ye shallbe hated of all nations for my Names sake.

OFFERTORY. Thou shalt save the people that are inadversity, O Lord, and shalt bring down the high looksof the proud: for who is God, but the Lord?

THE LESSON. Wisdom 3. 1.

HE souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,and there shall no torment touch them. In the sight

of the unwise they seemed to die; and their departure istaken for misery, and their going from us to be utterdestruction; but they are in peace. For though they bepunished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full ofimmortality. And having been a little chastened, theyshall be greatly rewarded; for God proved them and

found them worthy for himself. As gold in the furnacehath he tried them, and received them as a burnt-offering. And in the time of their visitation they shallshine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble;they shall judge the nations and have dominion overthe people, and their Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in theearth.

THE GOSPEL. St John 10. 22

T was at Jerusalem at the feast of the dedication, andit was winter; and Jesus walked in the temple in

Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about

him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us todoubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesusanswered them, I told you and ye believed not; theworks that I do in my Father's name, they bear witnessof me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of mysheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, andI know them, and they follow me: and I give themeternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shallany man pluck them out of my hand. My Father whogave them to me is greater than all; and no man is able

to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Fatherare one.

Creed is said (if a Sunday).
