other thc interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh
that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he will.
The Gospel. St. Luke xLx. 41.
AND when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
fi wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou,
at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy
peace! but now tlley are hid from thine eyes. For the
days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee
in on every side, and shall lay thee even with tllC ground,
and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in
thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not
the time of thy visitation. And he went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them
that bought; saying unto them, It is written, My house is
the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
And he taught daily in the temple.
The Eleventh Sunday after Trinity.

in memory what I preached unto you, unless yc have believed
in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that
which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and
that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
and til at he was seen of Cephas, then of tile twelve:
after tllat, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at
once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present,
but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James;
then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me
also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of
tile apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because
I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of
God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed
upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly
than they all: yet not I, but tile grace of God which was
with me. Therefore whether it were I or tiley, so we
preach, and so ye believed.
The Gospel. St. Luke xviii. 9.
JESUS spake this parable unto certain which trusted
in themselves that they were righteous, and despised
others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; tile
one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee
stood and prayed thus Witll himself, God, I thank tllee, tllat
I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or' even as this publican. I fast twice in tile week, I give
tithes of all that I possess. And tile publican, standing afar
off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a
sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the otller: for everyone that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted.
