The iij. Sunday after Trinitie.

The Collect.

LOrd. we beseech thee mercifully to heare vs, and vnto whom thou hast giuen an hearty desire to pray, grant that by thy mighty aide we may be defended, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

The Epistle.

SVbmit your selues euery man one to another, knit your selues toge∣ther in lowlines of mind: For God resisteth the proud, & giueth grace to the hūble. Submit your selues therfore vnder the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you when the time is come. Cast all your care vpon him, for he careth for you. Be sober, and watch: for your aduer∣sary the deuill, as a roaring Lion walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure: whom resist stedfast in ye faith, knowing that ye same afflictions are appoin∣ted vnto your brethren that are in the world. But the God of al grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternal glory by Christ Iesu, shall his owne selfe (after that ye haue suffered a little affliction) make you perfect, settle, strength an stablish you. To him be glory and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

And when hee hath found it, hee layeth it on his shoulders with ioy: and assoone as hee commeth

home, he called together his louers and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee, for I haue found my sheepe which was lost. I say vnto you, that like wise ioy shall bee in heauen ouer one sinner that repenteth, more then ouer nine∣tie and nine iust persons, which neede no repentance. Either what woman, hauing ten groats (if shee lose one) doeth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till she find it? and when she hath found it, she calleth her louers and her neighbours together, saying, Reioyce with me, for I haue found the groat which I lost. Likewise, I say vnto you, shall there bee ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, o∣uer one sinner that repenteth.
