and with all thy mind; and thy neigh-
bour as thy felf. And he faid unto him, 28.
Thou haft anfwered right: this do and
thou fhalt live. But he willing to justi-
fie himself, faid unto Jefus, And who
is my neighbour? And Jefus answer-
ing, faid, "A certain Man went down
"from Jerufalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, which ftripped him
"of his raiment, and wounded him,
"and departed, leaving him half dead.
"And by chance there came down a
"certain Prieft that way; and when he
"faw him, he paffed by on the other
"fide. And likewife a Levite, when
"he was at the place, came, and look-
"ed on him, and paffed by on the
"other fide. But a certain Samaritan, 33.
as he journied, came where he was:
"and when he faw him, he had com-
"paffion on him, and went to him,
"and bound up his wounds, pouring
in oil and wine, and fet him on his
own beaft, and brought him to an
Inn, and took care of him. And on 35.
"the morrow when he departed, he
"took out two pence, and gave them
to the hoft, and faid unto him, Take
care of him; and whatfoever thou
"fpendeft more, when I come again,
"I will repay thee. Which now of
36.
"these three, thinkeft thou, was neigh-
"bour to him that fell among the
"thieves? And he faid, he that shew-
ed mercy on him. Then faid Jefus

Jefus is entertained by Martha and
OW it came to pass, as they went, that [Fefus] entred into a certain Village, and a certain Woman named Martha, received him into her 39 house. And she had a Sifter called Ma
ry, which alfo fat at Jefus feet, and 40. heard his word. But Martha was cumbred about much ferving, and came to him, and faid, Lord, doft thou not care that my fifier hath left me to ferve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41. And Jefus answered, and faid unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and 42. troubled about many things. But one thing is needful. And Mary bath chofen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
One of Jefus's Difciples asketh him
to teach him to pray: His Answer
and Difcourfe about Prayer.
ND it came to pafs, that as [Fe-
fus] was praying in a certain
place, when he ceafed, one of his Dif-
ciples faid unto him, Lord, teach us to Bethany. Luk. xi. Atat. 32. pray, as John alfo taught his difciples. Minift. 3. And he faid unto them, " When ye 2.
pray fay, Our Father which art in
"heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy
"Kingdom come. Thy will be done,
56 as in heaven, fo in earth. Give us 3.
ແ day by day our daily bread. And for-
"give us our fins; for we alfo forgive
every one that is indebted to us. And
"lead us not into temptation, but de-
"liver us from evil.
And he faid unto them, "Which of s.
you shall have a friend, and fhall go
unto him at mid-night, and fay un-
to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6.
a friend of mine in his journey is come
' to me, and I have nothing to fet be-
"fore him: And he from within shall 7.
"answer and fay, Trouble me not:
"the door is now fhut, and my Chil-
"dren are with me in bed; I cannot
rife and give thee.
"I fay unto you, Though he will 8.
66 not rife and give him because he is
his friend; yet because of his impor-
tunity, he will rife and give him as
"many as he needeth. And I fay un- 9.
to you, Ask, and it fhall be given
you feek and ye fhall find: knock
" and it fhall be open'd unto you. For 10.
every one that asketh, receiveth: and
"he that feeketh findeth: and to him
"that knocketh it fhall be opened. Ifi.
"a fon fhall ask bread of any of you
that is a father, will he give him a

If ye then being evil, "know how to give good gifts unto ८६, your Children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy "Spirit to them that ask him?
SECT. XCIV.
Jefus cures one poffefs'd with a
Dumb Damon, which Miracle
Chrift maintains against the Ca-
lumny of the Pharifees. Shews
who are bleffed, and treats of the
Obstinacy of the Jews who required
a Miracle.
ND [Fefus] was cafting out a Devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the Devil was gone out, the dumb fpake: and the people 15. wondred. But fome of them faid, He cafteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils.
16. And others tempting him, fought of
him a fign from heaven. But he know-
ing their thoughts, faid unto them,
"Every kingdom divided against it
"felf, is brought to defolation: and a
❝houfe divided against a house falleth.
18." If Satan alfo be divided against him-
felf, how fhall his kingdom ftand?
"because ye fay that I caft out devils
through Beelzebub: and if I by Beel- Bethany. "zebub caft out devils, by whom do Luk. xi. your fons caft them out? there"fore they fhall be your judges. But "if I with the finger of God caft out "devils, no doubt the kingdom of God. is come upon you. When a strong 21. man armed keepeth his palace, his cc goods are in peace. But when a "Itronger than he fhall come upon him, "and overcome him, he taketh from
him all his armour wherein he truft-
ed, and divideth his spoils.
"He that is not with me is against 23.
me; and he that gathereth not with
me fcattereth. When the unclean
"Spirit is gone out of a man, he walk-
"eth through dry places, feeking rest
"and finding none, he faith, I will
return unto my houfe whence I came
* out. And when he cometh he find- 25.
"eth it swept and garnished. Then
goeth he, and taketh to him seven "other Spirits more wicked than him"felf, and they enter in and dwell "there and the laft ftate of the man "is worse than the first.
And it came to pafs as he fpake 27.
thefe things, a certain woman of the
company lift up her voice, and faid
unto him, Bleed is the womb that bare
thee, and the paps which thou haft fuck-
ed. But he faid, Yea, rather bleffed are 28,
they that bear the word of God and
keep it.
