The Purification of St Mary.

Symeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the holy Ghost, that heg should not see death, before he had seen the Lords Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple, And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to dog for him after the custome of the law, then took hee him up in his armes, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. ffor mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and risging again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall bee spoken against, (Yea a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts

Apostles Grant that thy Church being alway
preserved from false Apostles, may be ordered
and guided by faithfull and true pastours,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
for the Epistle.

Acts. j. 15 In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (The number of the names together, were about an hundred and twenty) Men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus for heg was numbred with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling headlong he burst a sunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem, insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of bloud. ffor it is written in the book of Psalmes, let his habitation beg

e

desolate, and let no man dwell therin; and his

bishopricke let another take. Wherfore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us; begining from the baptisme of John, unto that same day that he was

taken

taken up from us,) must one be ordained to beg a witnesse with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen; that he may take part of this ministry and Apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his owne place. And they gave forth their lots; and the Lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbred with the eleven Apostles.

thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, father, for so it seemed good in thy
sight. All things are delivered unto me of my
father and no man knoweth the son but the
father; neither knoweth any man the father save
the son, and hee to whomsoever the son will
reveall him. Come unto me all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoake upon you, and learn of me, for I
am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall finde
rest unto your Soules. for my yoke is easy, and
my burden is light.
