and entring into the house, they saw the infant with Mary his mother, and prostrating themselves, they worshipped him: then opening their treasures, they presented him with gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

now if God thus adorns the flower of the field, which thriving to day, is to morrow thrown into the oven, how much more shall he provide for you, if you have any degree of faith?

therefore sollicitous about the morrow: for the morrow shall be taken up with the cares of the morrow, the trouble of the day is sufficient for one day.

if ye then, as wicked as ye are, know how to bestow proper gifts upon your children; how much more shall your heavenly father give good things to them that ask him?

if the disciple fare as well as his master, and the servant as his lord, is not that sufficient? if they style the master of the house Beelzebub, much more will they call his domestics so.

he that loveth father or mother more than me, is unworthy of me: he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is unworthy of me.

then he goes and takes seven other spirits besides himself, but more mischievous than himself, and they all enter in and lodge there: so that the last state of that man is worse than the first. just so shall it likewise fare with this wicked generation.

and if he happen to find it, you may be sure he is more affected with that one, than with the ninety and nine which went not astray.

but if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that the remonstrances of two or three persons may have its effect.

if he does not relent, tell it to the church: but if he is not moved by the church, show him no more regard than you would to a pagan or a publican.

last of all they came who were hired first, expecting to have received more, but they had only a penny a man,

and the people reprimanded them, to make them hold their tongue: but they bawl'd out the more, have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.

when seeing a fig-tree by the way, he came to it, and finding nothing thereon, but bare leaves, said to it, may you never more bear fruit. and presently the fig-tree withered away.

but not a man was able to answer him a word, and from that time there was no body so hardy as to ask him any more questions.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who ransack sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is gain'd, ye make him deserve Gehenna much more than your selves.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cummin, but neglect those more important matters of the law, justice, mercy, and fidelity: these were the things ye ought to have practis'd, without neglecting however the other matters.

and as iniquity becomes more flagrant, the zeal of many will grow cool.

now he that had received five talents, immediately employed them in trade, and gain'd five talents more.

accordingly he that had received five talents, came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents: besides those, there's five talents more, which I have gain'd.

for he that makes use of what he has, shall have more; but if he makes no improvement thereof, it shall be taken from him.

but this I tell you, I shall not drink any more wine with you from this time forth to the day, when I shall drink with you, of the spiritual wine, in my father's kingdom.

then he left them once more, and went to prayers the third time, using the same words.

do you think my father, if I should now desire it of him, would not instantly send me more than twelve legions of angels?

for he was sensible that they had delivered him up out of meer envy.

the governor said, why, what mischief has he done? but they cried out the more, let him be crucified.

Pilate perceiving he was so far from prevailing, that they were more tumultuous, he took water, and washed his hands before all the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: you are answerable for it.

On the morrow rising up, while it was yet dark, he went out, and retired into a solitary place, where he prayed.

but as soon as he was gone, he began freely to talk of it, and blazed it about every where, so that Jesus could not go publickly into the city any more, but stay'd in the out parts, which were not much frequented, where people came to him from every quarter.

for he that makes use of what he has shall have more, but he that does not, shall be stript of what he has.

and Jesus charg'd them not to mention it to any one; but the more be enjoin'd them, the more they publish'd it.

Jesus observing the people came crowding to him, rebuked the evil spirit, saying, thou dumb and deaf spirit come out of the child, never to enter more, it is I command it.

at this they were more amazed than before, and said to one another, how then can such a man be saved?

but many of the company rebuk'd him, in order to silence him. at which he cry'd out with more earnestness, son of David have pity on me.

On the morrow when they had left Bethany, he was press'd with hunger.

then he sent another, whom they killed: and of several more, some they beat, some they killed.

and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, with all its faculties, and to love one's neighbour as one's self is more acceptable than all the offerings and sacrifices in the world.

upon which he call'd to his disciples, and said to them, I declare unto you, that this poor widow has given more than any of those, who have given to the treasury.

but this I tell you, I will never more drink of this fruit of the vine, from this time forth to that day, when I shall drink with you of the spiritual wine in the kingdom of God.

but he urg'd it with more vehemence, tho' I should die with you, I will not renounce you. and all the rest affirm'd the same.

then the high priest rent his robes, and said to the council, what occasion is there for any more witnesses?

Pilate replied, why, what harm has he done? but they cried out more furiously, crucify him.

exact, said he, no more than what the law requires.

in the mean time his fame spread so much the more, and a vast multitude flock'd to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases,

what then did you go to see? a prophet? yes, I say it, and more than a prophet.

improve therefore what you hear: for he that improves what he has, shall have more; but he that does not, shall lose even that, which he thinks he possesses.

After this the Lord nominated seventy disciples more, and sent them before by two and two, into all the cities, and towns, where he himself design'd to go.

if ye then, wicked as ye are, know how to give what is proper to your children: how much more shall your heavenly father give the holy spirit to them that ask him?

then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself: they all enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.

and as the crowd grew more numerous, he thus began, this is a degenerate race of men: they demand a miracle: but no miracle shall be exhibited, but such as happen'd in the person of Jonas the prophet.

As for you, my friends, be not afraid of those, who can kill the body, and after that can effect nothing more.

the life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

now if God thus cloaths the flowers, which exist to-day in the field, and to-morrow are thrown into the oven: how much more will he cloath you, O distrustful men?

whereas he that does not know it, and does things worthy of chastisement, shall receive fewer stripes. for to whom much is given, of him shall much be required, and the more a man has been trusted, the greater will be the demand.

but he answered them, go, tell that fox, that to-day and to-morrow I am casting out demons, and performing cures, and the third day my course will be finished:

till then I must be stirring about, to-day, and to-morrow, and the next day: for a prophet cannot be put to death any where, but at Jerusalem.

and this unfaithful steward was commended by his master for being so provident. for they who look to this world, manage their affairs with more prudence, than those who have a prospect of a better.

if therefore your fidelity has not appear'd in the use of these transitory enjoyments, how can you be trusted with what is more lasting?

who shall not receive abundantly more even in this age, and everlasting life in the age to come.

the first came and said, Lord, your one pound has gained ten more.

then the second came, and said, Lord, your pound has produc'd five more.

I tell you, said he, that to every one who improves, more shall be given: and he that makes no improvement, shall be stript of what he has.

so not being able to take any advantage from his words, before the people, they said no more, being surpriz'd at his answer.

and he said, I declare unto you, that this poor widow has thrown in more than they all.

for I declare unto you, I shall not celebrate this passover with you any more, to the time, when it shall have its accomplishment in the kingdom of the messiah.

and being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like grumes of blood falling to the ground.

but they were the more vehement, saying, he promotes sedition by speading such doctrine thro' all Judea, from Galilee to this place.

when looking upon him more intently, they perceiv'd that it was Jesus. but he vanish'd out of sight.

if you don't believe when I tell you what is plain, how should you believe, if I tell you of things more sublime?

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

sir, replied the woman, give me this water, that I may never be adry, nor come hither to draw more.

and many more believed, for having heard him speak himself: and said to the woman,

sometime after Jesus met him in the temple, and said to him, you see you were cured: sin no more, lest you suffer something worse.

therefore the Jews were the more eager to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but likewise, because he had said that God was his proper father, making himself equal with God.

besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?

Lord, said she, no man. and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more: but ye shall see me: because I shall live again, and ye shall live also.

every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he takes away: as for the branch that bears fruit, he prunes it clean, to make it more fruitful.

of justice, because I shall be with my father, and ye shall see me no more expos'd:

and now I shall be no more in the world, but they will be in the world, when I am come to thee. holy father keep them by that authority, with which thou hast invested me, that they may be one, as we are.

Pilate upon hearing that, was still more apprehensive.

Nicodemus, who formerly went to Jesus by night, came likewise and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me more than these do? yes, Lord, said he, you know that I love you. Jesus reply'd, feed my lambs.

On the morrow, the rulers, senators, and doctors of the law, then at Jerusalem, assembled,

did not venture to approach near them. the number of those who believed in the Lord, both men and women, increas'd more and more.

when they were come out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he pursued his way with joy.

Then the churches in all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, were unmolested and establish'd, and by their religious conduct, and the assistance of the holy spirit, grew more extensive.

On the morrow as they were on their journey, and drew nigh the city, Peter went upon the leads to pray, about the sixth hour.

then he invited them in, and they lodged there. On the morrow, Peter departed with them, and some of his brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

and to show that he rais'd him from the dead, never more to return to corruption, he said thus, "I will faithfully perform the promises, which I made to David."

thus were the churches established in the faith, and daily grew more numerous.

the Jews there were of a more generous temper than those of Thessalonica: for they very readily embrac'd their doctrine, and daily examin'd, whether it was conformable to the scriptures.

having talk'd with great freedom in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla, who had heard him, invited him home, and gave him a more distinct view of the gospel.

on the first day of the week we assembled to break bread, when Paul, who was to depart on the morrow, gave them a sermon, which lasted till midnight.

and now I am persuaded you will none of you see my face any more: whilst I have been among you, I have proclaim'd the kingdom of the Messias:

being more particularly afflicted at his having said, "they should see his face no more." and then they conducted him to the ship.

on the morrow we set out, and arriv'd at Cesarea, and went to the house of Philip the evangelist, with whom we lodg'd:

when they perceiv'd he talk'd Hebrew, they were the more silent.

if you will move it then to the tribune in the name of the Sanhedrim, to send him here to-morrow, under colour of examining his affair with more solemnity, we shall take care to dispatch him, and make a short end of his journey."

the Jews, said he, have agreed to desire you would send Paul down to-morrow to the council, under the pretext of examining him more strictly.

on the morrow they march'd back to the castle, having left him to the custody of the horse:
