First Lesson, 1 Cor. 15. 20. and Col. 3.

BUT now Christ is risen from the dead, and become the first Fruits of them that slept.

For since by Man came Death, by Man came also the Resurrection from the dead.

For as in Adam all died, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affections on things above, not on things on the Earth.

For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life, shall ap∣pear, then shall ye also appear with him in Glory.

Mortifie therefore your Members that are upon the Earth; Fornication, Un∣cleanness, Inordinate Affection, Evil Con∣cupiscence, and Covetousness, which is Idolatry:

For which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the Children of disobedience.

In the which you also walked when you lived in them.

But now you also put off all these; Anger, Wrath, Malice, Blasphemy, Filthy Communication out of your mouth.

Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the Old Man with his deeds;

And have put on the New Man, which is renewed in Knowledge, after the Image of him that created him.

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, Circumcision nor Uncircumcision, Barba∣rian, Scythian, Bond or Free, but Christ is all in all.

Responsory.] O Glorious Jesus, in whom we live, and without whom we die, mor∣tifie in us all Sensual Desires, and quicken our hearts with thy holy Love; that we no longer esteem the Vanities of the World, but place our affections intirely on Thee; Who didst die for our Sins, and rise again for our Justification. O thou, our only hope and portion in the Land of the Li∣ving, may our Thoughts and Discourses still be of thee, our Works and Sufferings all for thee; Who didst die for our Sins, and rise again for our Justification
