CH AP: X. of the Excellence of the Christian Morality,

above that of the Jews.

MATT. V. 17, 18, 19, 20. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, and the

*Prophets ; I am not come' to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth

pass, one jot or one tittle Mall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least

commandments, and shall teach men so, he mall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever fall do, and teach them, the same

Shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness Mall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye fall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

C H AP. XI. Of causeless anger, and of fcornful and cen

MATT. V. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. Ye have heard; that it was said by them of old time,

Thouijbelt not kill: and whosoever fall kill, fall

be in danger of the judgment. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with

his brother without a cause, Mall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever fball say to his

brother,

brother, Raca, soall be in danger of the councit:
But whosoever Mall say, Thou foul, fball be in
danger of bell-fire.

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and

there remembreft that thy brother hath ought against

thee;

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy

way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then

come and offer tby gift.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art

in the way with him : left at any time the adver-

sary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deli-

ver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Verily I say unto thee, Thou fhalt by no means come

out thence, tilt thou haft paid the uttermolt far-

thing.

Of the loving of Enemies.

MATT. v. 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48,

Ye have heard, that it hath been said, Thou shalt

love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them

that curse you, do good to them that hate you,

and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you.

That ye may be the children of your Father which is

in heaven ; for he maketh his fun to rise on the

evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the

juft, and on the unjust.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward

have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you

more than others? Do not even the publicans fo?

Be ye therefore perfeet, even as your Father which

is in heaven is perfect.

Take heed - that ye do not your alms before meni, to

be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of

your Father which is in heaven.

Therefore, when thou dost thine almsy, do not found a

trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the

Synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have

glory of men. Verily I say unto you, they have
their reward.

But

But when thou doft alms, let not thy left hand know

what thy right band doth:

That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Father

which seeth in secret, bimself fall reward thee

openly.

And when thou prayeft, thou shalt not be as the by-

pocrites are: for they love to pray ftanding in the

Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that

they may be feen of men. Verily I say unto you,

they have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayeft, enter into thy closet,

and when thou haft Jout thy door, pray to thy Fa.

ther which is in secret, and thy Father which

feeth in secret fall reward thee openly.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the

beathen do: for they think that they fall be beard

for their much speaking.

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father

knoweth what things ye havė need of, before ye

ask him.

After this manner" therefore pray ye : Our Father

which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Tby kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it

is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
