Sing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily (unto him) with a good courage.

For the word of the Lord is true and all his works are faithful.

He loveth righteousness and judgment the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made: and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as it were upon a heap and layeth up the deep as it were in a treasure-house.

There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host: neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man: neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him: and upon them that put their trust in his mercy.

To deliver their souls from death and to feed them in the time of dearth.

:

GOD, which as upon this day hast taught the hearts of thy faithful people, by the sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth

d Christ Jesu 1552.

with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end.

The Epistle. Acts ii.

WHEN the fifty days were come to an end, they were all with one accord together in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as it had been the coming of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they sat. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as they had been of fire, and it sat upon each one of them; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the same Spirit gave them utterance. e There were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation of them that are under heaven. When this was noised about, the multitude came together, and were astonied, because that every man heard them speak with his own language. They wondered all, and marvelled, saying among themselves, Behold, are not all these which speak of Galilee? And how hear we every man his own tongue wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and of Jewry, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the parties of Libya which is beside Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and Proselytes, Greeks and Arabians, we have heard them speak in our own tongues the great works of God.

The Gospel. John xiv.

JESUS said unto his disciples, If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless; but will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: for I live, and ye shall live. That day shall ye know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, the same is he that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will shew mine own self unto him.

Judas saith unto him, (not Judas Iscariot,) Lord, what is

done that thou wilt shew thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto them, If a man love me, he will keep my sayings, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and dwell with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom my Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said 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 hearts be grieved, neither fear. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would verily rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father for the Father is greater than I. And now have I shewed you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter will I not talk many words unto you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nought in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so do I.

The Epistle. Acts x.

THEN Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that there is no respect of persons with God; but in all people, he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Ye know the preaching that God sent unto the children
