Saint Steuens day.
The Collect.
Grant vs, O Lord, to learne to loue our enemies, by the example of thy martyr S. Steuen, who prayed for his persecuters, to thee which liuest, &c.
Then shall follow the Collect of the Natiuitie, which shall be sayd continually vn∣to Newyeeres day.
The Epistle.
ANd Steuen being ful of holy Ghost, * 1.1 looked vp stedfastly with his eies into heauen, and saw the glory of God, & Iesus standing on the right hand of God, and sayd, Behold, I see the hea∣uens open, & the Some of man standing on the

right hand of God. Then they gaue a shoute with a lowde voyce, and stopped, their eares, and ran vpon him all at once, and cast him out of the citie, and stoned him. And the witnes∣ses layed downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, whose name was Saul: & they stoned Steuen, calling on, and say∣ing, Lord Iesu, receiue my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cryed with a lowde voyce, Lord, lay not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a sleepe.
The Gospel.
BEhold, I send vnto you Prophtes, * 1.2 and wise men and Scribes, and some of them ye shal kill and cruicfie, and some of them yee shall scourg in your Synagogues, and persecute them from citie to citie, that vpon you may come all the righteous blood, which hath bene shed vpon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whom he slew between the temple and the al∣tar. Verily I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation. O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, thou that killst the Prophets, and stonst them which are sent vnto thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, e∣uen as the hen gathereth her chickens vnder her wings, and ye would not? Behold, your house is left vnto you desolate. For I say vnto you, ye shal not see me henceforth, till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
