17. Whit-Sunday.—Epistle. Acts 2. 1. Gospel 1. St. John 14. 15.—The
Resurrection of Christ had fulfilled the Prophecies, and confirmed his
Divine Mission, but it was not yet promulgated in the world. The in-
spiration of the Holy Ghost was to enable the Apostles to publish the
Religion of Christ, and Salvation in his name. This Feast, also called
Pentecost, because it happens 50 days, or seven weeks after Easter,
was instituted to commemorate the descent of the Paraclet, in the visi-
ble shape of " Tongue,, of Fire," upon.the Apostles. The auellation
of Whit-Sunday, Whit-111.inday, &c. originated from the circumstance
of this day, having been anciently chosen to admit adults to the Sacra-
ment of Baptism, which they used to receive in white garments, as a
sign of the purity and innocence which this ceremony bestowed upon
them.—St.Torpetes, a principal man in Nero's Court, and one men-
tioned by St. Paul.-1771. The Princess of Wales's birth-day.

deemed highly important. .
