he same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another
the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working
of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation
of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the self-same
Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
THE GOSPEL. St Luke xix. 41.
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day,

treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.

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

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
