LENT SUNDAY. I.

T
URK ye get unto me, faith the
Lord with all your heart, and with
fishing, and mincing, & with
mourning. And ant your heart,
and not your garments, and turn
unto the Lord your God, for he is
gracious, and merciful, and of
great kindneſt, and benevont with him.
Who knoweth if he will return, and benevont & leave
a life of paine, him, on a meagre offering, and
a drink-offering unto the Lord your God. Blow
the trumpet in him, fanſhie a ſaſt, call a jolſom
affection, gather the people, fanſhie the compeſa-
ment, affront the old men, gather the children, and
thoſe that ſuck the breake; let the bridegroom go
forth of his chamber, and the bride's wifely deſt
be to the twentie, the numbers of the Lord, except
be upon the porch and the alme, and let them say
Spare the people, Old, and give not thin
heritage to reproach, that the heathen ſhould vole
them; wherefore ſhould they lay among
the people, (Where is their God?)

THE GOSPEL. S.MATTH. 6. 16.

W
HEN ye ſaſt, be not as the heaſ-
creels, of a ſad countenance: for-
thy, lift up their faces, that they
may appear and men to ſaſt. For-
the ſaſt, unto you, they have their
ward. But thou, when thou ſaſt,
oſt, anointing the head, and wath the face, that thou
appear not unto men to ſaſt, but into the Father
which is in heaven; and the Father which ſaſt in
ſecond, shall forward this operation. Lay not up for
your效els broiles upon earth, whereon not a
raft, nor corrupt, and where threes break through
and final. But lay up for your ſels broiles in
heaven, where neither man norraft nor corrupt
and where threes do act without nor lead,
how whereas your broiles, if there will, will be alſo.

The first Sunday in Lent. THE COLLECT.
LORD who for our ſake did fast,
fourty days and forty nights, and
us give us up to such abstinence, that
our ſhining subjeſt to the Spirit;
we may see Christ the goodly mo-
tions in right-hand and right, hol-
neſt, to thy honours and glories, who lieth and

vainneſt with the Father and the Holy Ghoſt; one
god, world without end. Amen.

V. then as workers in their work, with him,
behold you all, that ye shall receive not
the grace of God in vain. (For he

accepted, and in the day of ſalutem,
I have been your Saviour there;)
therefore,
now is the accepted time: behold now is the day
of ſalutem, giving no offense in any thing that the
mouſt be the nextday. In all things, approving
our ideas as the minuſt, and in all things,

in impuſtions, in taumulums, in tabernacles, in
warchings, in ſiſtions, by purgation, by knowledge, by
long luffring, by kindneſt, by the Holy Ghoſt, by love unſaſtied,
by word of truth, by the power of God, by Arturum
of ſhining ſaſt on the right-hand and on the left, by
humour and diſhonor by real report and good re-
portas, deceivings, and getuwn, as unknown, and
yet well known, as dead, and beheld neuer be,

chafteſt, and notkilled, as foruſful, yet always
rejoicing, as yet making many a rich, as having
nothing to reproſſing all things.

made
breast. But he unſolved and laid it, Jef written,
Nan

that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the
devil
laketh him up into the hoſſy; and liffeth him on
aptitude of the grope, and layeth him upon
the Son of God, call him Jef Jef, for his written,

sing high mountain, and liall with him the kine,
Dum of the world, and the glory of them, and faith
unto him. All the things will I give him. If thou
