GOSPEL. Luke xi. 33. 36.—At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that they that come in may see the light. The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body will also be darksome. Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If then thy whole body be light, some, having no part of darkness: the whole shall be lightsome, and as a bright lamp shall enlighten thee.

EPISTLE. 1 Peter, iv. 13.-Dearly Beloved: If you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that when nis glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that

which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his spirit, resteth upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things. But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God in his name. For the time is that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God? And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator. GOSPEL. Luke xiv. as in p. 463.
