1 Let us understand, dearly beloved, how the Master continually showeth unto us the resurrection that shall be hereafter; whereof He made the Lord Jesus Christ the firstfruit, when He raised Him from the dead. (1CL) 2 Let us behold, dearly beloved, the resurrection which happeneth at its proper season. (1CL) 3 Day and night show unto us the resurrection. The night falleth asleep, and day ariseth; the day departeth, and night cometh on. (1CL) 4 Let us mark the fruits, how and in what manner the sowing taketh place.

(1CL)
