The Gospel.

THe kingdome of heauen is like vn∣to a man which sowed good seede in his field: but while men slept his enemie came, * and sowed tares among the wheate, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung vp, and had brought foorth fruite, then appeared the tares al∣so. So the seruants of the house-holder came, and sayde vnto him, Sir, diddest not thou sowe good seed in thy field: from whence then hath it tares. He said vnto them, The enuious man hath done this. The seruants sayd vnto him, Wilt thou then that we goe & weed them vp: But Page  [unnumbered] he sayd, Nay least while ye gather vp the tares, ye plucke vp also the wheate with them: let both grow together vntill the haruest, and in the time of haruest, I wil say to the Reapers, Gather ye first the tares, and bind them together in sheaues to be burnt, but gather the wheate into my barne.

The sixt Sunday (if there be so many) shall haue the same Collect, Epistle and Gospel, that was vpon the fist Sunday.
