COLLECT FOR TRINITY VII.  Lord of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things; Graft in our hearts the love of thy Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end.

 

LESSON FROM THE APOCRYPHA.  Ecclesiasticus xlv. 1.  And the LORD brought out of Israel a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.  He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.  By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and showed him part of his glory.  He sanctified him in his faithfulness and meekness, and chose him out of all men.  He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.  He exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.  An everlasting covenant he made with him, and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.  He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.  And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people; With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroiderer, with a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim; With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.  he set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, and ornament of honour, a costly work the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.

EPISTLE.   Romans vi. 19.  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:  for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

GRADUAL VERSE & ALLELUIA.  Psalm 34.  Come, ye children, and hearken unto me.  I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  They had an eye unto him, and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed.  Alleluia, alleluia.  Psalm 47.  O clap your hands together, all ye people.  Sing unto God with the voice of melody.  Alleluia.

 

GOSPEL.   St Mark viii. 1.  In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:  and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way:  for divers of them came from far.  And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?  And he asked them, How many loaves have ye?  And they said, Seven.  And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground:  and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.  And they had a few small fishes:  and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.  So they did eat, and were filled:  and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.  And they that had eaten were about four thousand:  and he sent them away.

COLLECT FOR TRINITY VI.  O God, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as pass man’s understanding; Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end.

 

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON.  1 Kings i. 32.  And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.  And they came before the king.  The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:  And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel:  and blow ye the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.  Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead:  and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen:  the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.  As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.  So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.  And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon.  And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.  And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

EPISTLE.   Romans vi. 3.  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:  that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:  knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.  For he that is dead is freed from sin.  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:  knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.  For in that he died, he died unto sin once:  but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

GRADUAL VERSE & ALLELUIA.  Psalm 90.  Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last, and be gracious unto thy servants.  Lord, thou hast been our refuge from one generation to another.  Alleluia, alleluia.  Psalm 31.  In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion.  Deliver me in thy righteousness, bow down thine ear to me, make haste to deliver me.  Alleluia.

 

GOSPEL.   St Matthew v. 20.  Jesus said unto his disciples, Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:  but I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:  and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council:  but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire.  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.  Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.  Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

COLLECT FOR TRINITY V.  Grant, O Lord, we beseech thee, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy governance, that thy church may joyfully serve thee in all godly quietness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end.

 

COLLECT FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY.  O Eternal God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end.

 

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON.  Isaiah xxvi. 1.  In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.  Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:  because he trusteth in thee.  Trust ye in the LORD for ever:  for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.  The way of the just is uprightness:  thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.  Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.  LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us:  for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

EPISTLE.  1 Peter iii. 8. Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:  not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, that they speak no guile.  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:  but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.  And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?  But, if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye.  And be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

 

GRADUAL VERSE & ALLELUIA.  Psalm 84.  Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon thy servants.  O Lord God of Hosts, hear the prayer of thy servants.  Alleluia, alleluia.  Psalm 20.  The king shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord.  Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation.  Alleluia.

 

GOSPEL.   St Luke v. 1. It came to pass, that as the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake:  but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.  And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.  And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.  Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing:  nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.  And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes:  and their net brake.  And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them.  And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.  When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.  For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:  and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.  And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.  And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
