EPISTLE Tit. 2.11-15
DEARLY beloved, the grace of God our Savior hath ap-peared to all men, instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world, looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ: Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. These things speak and exhort: in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
GRADUAL Ps. 97. 3, 4, 2
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God: sing joyfully to God, all the earth. V.: The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath re-vealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
Alleluia, alleluia. V.: Heb. 1.1,2 God, who in divers manners spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all in these days hath spoken to us by his Son. Alleluia.
