S. Andrewes day.

The Collect.

ALmighte God, which didest giue such grace vnto thy hily Apostle Saint Andrew, that he readily o∣beyed the calling of thy Sonne Iesus Christ, and fol∣lowed him without delay: graunt vnto vs all, that wee, be∣ing called vp thy holy word, may foorth with giue ouer our selues obediently to followe thy holy commaundements, through the same Iesus Christ out Lord.

The Epistle.

IF thou acknowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the Lord, & beleeue in thy heart that God rai∣sed him vp from death, thou shall bee safe. For to beleeue with the heart, iustfieth, & to knowledge with the mouth, maketh a man safe. For the Scripture faith, whosoeuer beleeueth on him. shal not be confounded.

How then shall they call on him, on whom they haue not beleeued? How shall they beleeue on him, of whome they haue not heard? How shall they heare without a preacher?

Esai after that is bolde, and saith, I am found of them that sought mee not, I am manifest vnto them that asked not after me. But against Israel hee saith, All day long haue I stretched foorth my hands vnto a people that beleeueth not, but speaketh against me.

The Gospel.

AS Iesus walked by the sea of Galilee, hee saw two brethren, Simon, which was cal∣led Perer, and Andrew his brother, castinga net into the sea (for they were fishers) and he said vnto them, Follow me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And when he was gone forth from thence, he saw other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and hee called them. And they immediatly left the ship and their father, and followed him.
