A LA1IGHTY and everlasting God, who
b. of thy tender love towards man
kind, hast sent thy Son, our Saviour
Jesus Christ, to take upon him our
flesh, and to suffer death upon the
cross, that all mankind should follow
the example Of his great humanity:
Mercifully grant, that we may both fol-
low the example of his patience; and
also be. made partakers Of his .resurrec-
ton; through the same Jesus" Christ
our Lord. Amen. i::-'.'
The Epistle. Phil. Ii, S.
T EFT this mind be in you, which was
- also in Christ Jesus: who, being in
the form Of God, thought it not robbery
to be equal with God: but made himself
Of no reputation, and took upon him the
form Of a servant, and was made in the
likeness .of men: and. being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even
the death Of the cross. Wherefore God
also hath highly exalted him and given
him a name which is above every name:
that at the name Of Jesus every knee
should bow, OF things in heaven, and
things in earth. and things under the
earth; and that every tongue. should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
The Gospel. St. Matt. xvii. l..
WHEN the morning was come, all the
=! chief priests and elders Of the peo-
pie took. counsel against Jesus.to put
him to death; and when they: had bound
him, they led him away. and delivered
him to Pontius PLATE the governor.
L. Eof, ~
when he. saw that he was condemned,
thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, saying, have sinned
in that have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to
us? see thou to that. And he cast down
the pieces Of silver in the temple, and
departed and went and hanged himself.
And the chief priests took the silver
pieces, and said, 1t is not lawful for to
put them into the treasury, because it
is the price of blood. And they took
counsel, and bought with them: the pot
ter's field, to bury strangers In. Where
fore that field. was called, The field Of
blood, unto this day. Then was fulfill
ed that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, And they took the
thirty pieces Of silver, the price OF him
that was valued, whom they Of the chill
dren of Israel did value; and gave them
for the potter's field, as the Lord ap-
pointed me-. And Jesus stood before the
governor: and. the governor asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And Jesus said unto him; Thou sayest.
And when he was accused :of the chief
priests and elders, he answered noth-
ing. Then said PLATE unto him. Hear
est thou not how many things they wit
ness against thee? And he answered
him to never a word; insomuch' that the
governor marvelled greatly. Now at
that feast the governor was wont to re-
lease unto the people prisoner, whom
they would And they had then a nota-
Bile prisoner, called Barabbas. There
fore when they were gathered together,
Plate said unto them, Whom Will we
that release unto you? Barabbas, or
Jesus which is called Christ? For ne
knew that for envy they had delivered
him. When he was set down on the
Judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do. with
that just man: for I have suffered many
things this day in dream because OF
him. But the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they
