he goeth his way, and forgetteth immediatly what his fashi∣on was. But whoso looketh in the perfect law of libertie, and continueth therein, if he be not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, the same shall be happy in his deed. If any man among you seeme to be deuout, & refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans deuotion is in vaine. Pure deuotion, and vndefiled before God the father is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
The Gospel.
VErily, verily I say vnto you, what∣seouer yee aske the Father in my name, he will giue if you. Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my name. Aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioy may be full. These things haue I spoken vnto you by prouerves. The time will come, when I shall no more speake vnto you by pro∣uerves, but I shal shew you plain∣ly from my Father. At that day shall yee aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will speake vnto my Father for you: for the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God. I when out from the Father, and came into the world. Againe, I leaue the world, and goe to the Father. His disciples sayd vnto him, Loe, now thou talkest plainly, and speakest no pro∣uerve. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man shoulde aske thee any question, therefore beleeue we that thou camest from God. Iesus answered them, Now ye doe beleeue: behold, the houre draw∣eth nigh, and is already come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man to his owne, and shall leaue mee alone: And yet am I not alone, for the Father is with mee. These words haue I spoken vnto you, that in me yee might haue peace, for in the world shall yee haue tribulation: But bee of good cheere, I haue ouercome the world.
