EPISTLE Ecclus. 44.10-15.

These are men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed: Good things continue with their seed, their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed hath stood in the covenants. And their children for their sakes remain for ever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation. Let the people shew forth their wisdom, and the church declare their praise.

The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. V. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: but they are in peace.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Luke 22.28-30. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations: and I appoint unto you a kingdom, that ye may sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (14.22)

At that time, straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 

The Creed is said.

Let the Saints be joyful with glory, let them rejoice in their beds: let the praises of God be in their mouth.
