The Collect.

GOd which as vpon this day hast taught the hearts of thy faithfull people, by the sending to them the light of thy holy Spirit: Grant vs by the same Spirit to haue a right iudgement in all things, and euermore to reioyce in his holy comfort, through the merits of Christ Iesu our Sauiour, who liueth and reigneth with thee, in the vnitie of the same Spirit, one GOD, world without end. Amen.

The Epistle.

WHen the fiftie dayes were come to an ende, they were al with one accord together in one place, and suddenly there came a found from heauen, as it had bene the comming of a mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate. And there appeared vn∣to them clouen tongues, like as they had beene of fire, & it sate vpon each one of them, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, euen as the same Spirit gaue them vtterance. Then were dwelling at Hierusalem, Iewes, deuout men, out of euery nation of them that are vnder heauen. When this was noysed about, the multitude came together, and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake with his owne language. They wondered all, and marueilled, saying among them∣selues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galilee. And how heare we euery man his owne tongue wherein we were borne? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and fo Iury, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the partes of Libya, which is beside Cyrene, & strangers of Rome, Iewes and Proselites, Creetes & Arabians, we haue heard them speake in our owne tongues the great works of God.

The Gospel.

IEsus sayd vnto his disciples, If yee loue me, keepe my commaundements, and I will pray the father, and he shall giue you another com∣forter, that hee may abide with you for euer, euen the spirit of trueth, whom the world can not receiue, because the world seeth him not, neither knoweth him: But yee know him, for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leaue you comfort∣lesse, but will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but ye see me: For I liue, and ye shall liue. That day shall ye know, that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandements, & kee∣peth

them, the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my Father, and I wil loue him, and will shew mine owne selfe vnto him. Iudas saith vnto him (not Iudas Iscariot) Lord, what is done that thou will shew thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, If a man loue me, he will keepe my sayings, and my Father will loue him, and we wil come vnto him, and dwell with him. Hee that loueth me not, keepeth not my say∣ings. And the word which ye heare, is not mine, but the Fa∣thers which sent me. These things haue I spoken vnto you, being yet present with you: but the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom my Father wil send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, & bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoeuer I haue said vnto you. Peace I leaue with you, my peace I giue vnto you: not as the world giueth, giue I vnto you. Let not your hearts be grieued, neither feare. Ye haue heard how I said vnto you, I goe and come againe vn∣to you. If yee loued mee, ye would verily reioyce, because I said, I go vnto the Father: For the Father is greater then I. And now haue I shewed you before it come, that when it is come to passe, yee might beleeue. Hereafter will I not talke many words vnto you: for the prince of this world commeth, and hath nought in me, but that the world may know that I loue the Father. And as the Father gaue mee Commande∣ment, euen so do I.
