Thro'. EPISTLE. Ephes. iv. 7, 13. Brethren ; To every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the giving of Christ. Wherefore he saith : Ascending on high he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men. Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth. He that descended is the same also that ascendeth above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some apostles, and soine prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors. For the perfecting of the V. Thy friends, O God, are exceedingly honotir- John xv. 17, 25. At that time: If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master If they have persecuted me, they will also parsecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my names sake : because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin : but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me, batetha my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But that the word may be fulfilled, which is written in their law: They hated without cause. TAE CREED. OFFERT. Ps. xviii.

O Lord God, plentifully pour down upon us thy grace : that we may one day partake of their bliss, whose glorious solemnity we are now preparing to celebrate. Thro'. LESSON. Rev. v. 6, 12. In those days: Behold I, John, saw in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes : which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. And he came, and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
