us

Lmighty God, give grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty to judge both the quick and dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever.

Amen.

This Collect is to be repeated every Day with the other Collects in Advent, until Chriftmas Day.

The Epistle. Rom. xiii. 8. WE no man any thing, love one another;

bour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of fleep; for now is our falvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darknefs, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jefus Christ, and make not provifion for the flesh, to fulfil the

lufts thereof.
