The Collect.

GRaunt Lord, we beseeh thee, that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered by thy gouernance, that thy Congregation may ioyfully serue thee in all godly quietnesse, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

The Epistle.

BE you all of one minde, * 1.1 and of one heart, loue as brethren, be pitifull, be courteous, (meeke) not rendring euill for euill, or rebuke for re∣buke: but contrariwise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, euen that yee should be heires of the blessing. For hee that doeth long after life, and loueth to see good dayes, let him refraine

And hee entered into one of the shippes (which pertained to Si∣mon) and prayed him that hee would thrust out a little from the land. And hee sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship. When he had left speaking, hee sayd vnto Simon, Launch out into the deepe, and let slip your nets to make a draught. And Simon answered, and sayd vnto him, Master, we haue laboured all night, and haue taken nothing: Neuer∣thelesse, at thy commaundement I will loose foorth the net. And when they had so done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes. But their net brake, and they beckened to their fel∣lowes which were in the other ship, that they should come and helpe them. And they came, and filled both ships, that they sunke againe. When Simon Peter saw this, hee fell downe at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me, for I am a sinful man. For he was a astonied, and al that there were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken: and so was

also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Iesus sayd vnto Simon, Feare not, from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And they brought the ships to land, and forsooke all, and followed him.
