accordingly, John baptized in the desart, and preach'd the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.

when he had gone a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the bark mending their nets. whereupon he called them:

and he said unto them, let us go into the neighbouring villages, that I may preach there likewise, for that was the design of my coming.

when they had dismiss'd the people, the bark he was in, set sail, in company with other small barks.

for having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had wrench'd his chains, and broke his fetters, so that no body could tame him.

when the sabbath was come, he preach'd in the synagogue, to the great astonishment of many, who upon hearing his discourse, said, how came he by all this? what strange endowment of knowledge is this, that he should work such miracles?

It was now late in the evening, and the bark in full sea, when Jesus, who was ashore all alone,

seven, said they. then he order'd the people to sit down on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, then broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people, which they accordingly did.

When they had been eating, Jesus took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to them, and said, take it, this represents my body.

Then he said to them, go ye into all parts of the world, and preach the gospel to all mankind.
