and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil
the lusts thereof.

straightway ye shall find an ass tyed, and a
Colt with her loose them and bring them vnto
me. And if any man say ought vnto you, ye

The Epistle

Whatsoever things were written afore time, were Rom. 15. 4. written for our learning; that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope. Now the God of patience and consolation, grant you to be like-minded one towards another, according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind, and one mouth glorifie God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore receiv ye one another, as Christ
also received vs, to the glory of God.
I say, that Jesus Christ was a Minister of the
Circumcision, for the truth of God, to confirm
the promises made vnto the fathers: And that
the gentiles might glorifie god for his mercy, As
it is written, for this cause I will confess to thee
among the gentiles, and sing vnto thy name.
And again he saith, Rejoyce, ye Gentiles, with
his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye
Gentiles, and laud him, all ye people. And
again Esaias saith, There shall be a root of
Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the
Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. Now
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through
the power of the holy Ghost.

be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And hel spake to them a parable, Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth, ye se and know of your own selves that sumer is now nigh a hand. So likewise ye when ye se these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh a hand. Verily, I say unto you, this generation shall not passe away, till all be fulfilled: Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away.
