made ready. And We, slaves, ye shall be
subject to your lords, as to Gods image, IN
modesty and fear Thou shalt hate every
hypocrisy, and whatever is not pleasing to
the Lord. Thou shalt by no means forsake
the Lords commandments, but shalt guard
what thou hast received, neither adding to
it nor taking from it. In the church
thou shalt confess thy transgressions, and
shalt not come forward for thy prayer with
an evil conscience This is the way of
life
CHAP. Wow the way of death is
this: First of all it is evil, and full of
curse murders, adulteries, lusts, fornica-
lions. thefts idolatries, magic arts, sorce-
ries, robberies, false testimonies, hypocri-
sizes, duphcity, craft, arrogance, vice, pre-
sumptuousness, greed, foul speech, Jealousy,
over-boldness, loftiness, pretense; perse-
cutors of the good, hating truth, loving
falsehood, knowing not the reward OF
Righteousness, not cleaving to that which
is good nor to righteous Judgment, on the
watch not for good but for evil; far from
whom are meekness and humility, loving
vanities, pursuing revenge, not plying a
poor man, not laboring for the distressed,
not knowing Him that made them, muir
derers of children, destroyers of the image
of God, turning away the needy, Cypress
ing the afflicted, advocates of the rich,
lawless Judges of the poor, universal sim
ners. May We be delivered, children, from
all these.
CHAP. VI-See that no one lead thee
astray from this way Of the teaching, be-
cause apart from God does He teach thee.
For if thou art able to bear the whole
yoke of the Lord, thou shalt be perfect
but if thou art not able, what thou art
able, that do And concerning food, what
thou art able, bear; but Of that offered to
idols, beware exceeding y for it is wor-
ship of dead gods,
CHAP. VIl.-Now, concerning baptism,
thus baptize thee having first uttered all
these things, baptize into the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, in running water. But if thou hast
not running water baptize in other water
and if thou canst not in cold, then in warm.
But if thou hast neither, pour water upon
the head thrice, into the name of Father
and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the
baptism let the baptizer and baptized fast,
and whatever others can; but the baptized
thou shalt command to fast for two or
three days before.
CHAP. VIII-But let not your HASTINGS
be appointed in common with the hypO-
critics for they fast on the second day and
on the fifth but do We fast on the fourth,
and the preparation day. Nor pray We
like the hypocrites, but as the Lord COM
manded in his gospel, thus pray: Our
Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, as in heaven, so on earth our daily
bread give us to-day, and forgive us our
debts as we also forgive our debtors, and
bring lis not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one; for thine is the power
and the glory forever. Three times in the
day pray we thus.
CHAP. concerning the Eucha-
rist, thus give thanks; first, concerning the
cup: We thank thee, our Father, for the
holy vine of Dayid thy servant, which thou
hast made known to US through Jesus thy
servant; to thee be the glory forever. And
concerning the broken bread We thank
thee, our Father for the life and the
knowledge which thou hast made known
to us through Jesus thy servant; to thee
be the glory forever. Just as this broken
bread was scattered over the hills and hav-
ing been gathered together became one, so
let thy church be gathered together from
the ends of the earth into thy kingdom
for thine is the glory and the power through
Jesus Christ forever But let no one eat
or drink of your Eucharist, except those
baptized into the Lords name for in re-
gard to this the Lord hath said Give not
that which is holy to the dogs.
CHAP. X.-Now after We are filled thus
I do We give thanks: We thank thee, holy
Father, for thy holy name, which thou
| hast caused to dwell in our hearts, and for
the knowledge and faith and Immortality
which thou hast made known to us through
Jesus thy servant; to thee be the glory
forever. Thou, Almighty Master, didst
create all things for thy names sake; both
food and drink thou didst give'to men for
| enjoyment, in order that they might give
thanks to thee; but to lis thou hast gra-
ciously given spiritual food and drink and
eternal life through thy servant. Before
all things, we thank thee that thou art
powerful to thee be the glory forever
Remember, Lord, thy church, to deliver il
from every evil and to make it perfect in
thy love, and gather it from the four
winds, It, the sanctified, into thy kingdom
which thou hast prepared for it for thine
is the power and the glory forever. Let
grace come and let this world pass away
Hosanna to the son Of David Whoever
is holy, let him come whoever is not lei
him repent. Maranatha. Amen. But
permit the prophets to give thanks a;
much as they will.
CHAP. XI-Now whoever cometh and
teacheth you all these things, before
spoken, receive him. but if the teacher
himself turn aside and teach another
| teaching, so as TO overthrow this, do moi
| hear him; but if he teach so as to promote
righteousness and knowledge of the Lord
receive him as the Lord. But in regard
to the apostles and prophets, according tt
the ordinance Of the gospel, 50 do ye. Anc
every apostle who cometh to YOU, let hin
be received as the Lord; but he shall moi
remain more than one day; il, however
there be need, then the next day; but if he
remains three days, he is false prophet
! But when the apostle departeth, let hin
take nothing except bread enough till he
| lodge again; but if he ask meney, he l. ;
( ldlHe prophet. Anu every prophet n'
/ speaketh in the spirit, ye shall not try MOI
Judge; for every sin shall be forgiven, bur
the sin shall not be forgiven. But MOI
every one that speaketh in the spirit is ;
prophet, but only if he have the ways o
the Lord. SO from their ways shall thu
false prophet and the prophet be known
And no prophet who orders meal, in the
spirit, eateth of it, unless indeed he is q
false prophet; and every prophet whc
teacheth the truth, if he do not that which
he teacheth he is false prophet, Blu
every prophet, proved, true, acting with I
view to the mystery of the church OF
earth, but not teaching Others TO do al
that he himself doeth, shall not be judged
among you; for with God he hath hi
Judgment; for so did the ancient prophets
also. But whoever, in the spirit, says
Give me money, or something else, Y,
shall not hear him; but if for Others il
need, he bids you give, let no one judg
him.
