The sixt sunday after trinitie.
The Collect.
GOd which hast prepared to them that loue thee, such good things as passe mans vnderstanding: powre into our hearts such loue toward thee, that wee louing thee in all things, may obtaine thy promises, which exceed all that the we can desire, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
The Epistle.
KNow ye not, * that al we which are baptized in Iesus Christ, are bap∣tized to die with him? We are buri∣ed then with him by baptisme for to die, that likewise as Christ was raised from death by the glorie of the Father, euen so we also should walke in a new life. For if we be grafted in death like vnto him, e∣uen so shal we be partakers of the holy resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him also, that the body of sinne might vtterly be destroyed, that henceforth we should not be seruants vnto sinne. For he that is dead, is iustified frō sinne. Wherefore, if we be dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall also liue with him: Knowing that Christ being rai∣sed frō death, dieth no more, death hath no more power ouer him. For as touching that hee died, he died concerning sinne once: and as touching that he liueth, he liueth vnto God. Likewise consider ye also, that ye are dead as touching sinne, but are aliue vnto God, through Christ our Lord.
The Gospel.
IEesus sayd vnto his Disciples, * Except your righteousnes exceed the righteousnes of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heauen. Ye haue heard that it was sayd vnto them of olde time, Thou shall not kill: whosoeuer killeth, shall be in danger of iudgement. But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer is angry with his brother vnaduisedly, shall be in danger of iudgement. And whosoeuer saieth vnto his brother, Racha, shall be in danger of a Counsaile. But who∣soeuer saith, Thou foole, shal be in danger of hell fire. There∣fore, if thou offerest thy gift at the alter, and there remembrest that thy brother hath ought against thee, leaue there thine of∣fering before the alter, and goe the way first, and be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine aduersarie quickely, whiles thou art in the way with him, least at any time the aduersarie deliuer thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the minister, and then thou bee cast into prison. Verily I say vnto thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast payed the vttermost farthing.
