The Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, who showest to them that are in error the light
of thy truth, to the intent that they may return into the way
of righteousness; Grant unto all those who are admitted into
the fellowship of Christ's Religion, that they may avoid those
things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all
such things as are agreeable to the same; through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Amen.
DEARLY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain
from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation
honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you
as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold,
glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every
ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king,
as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by
him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them
that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing
ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free,
and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but
as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honour the king.
JESUS said to his disciples, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
