“ The wedding is ready, but they which were -Acts 13. “ bidden were not "worthy. Go ye therefore 9

“ into the highways, and as many as ye shall

find, bid to the marriage. So those servants 10 “ went out into the highways, and gathered

together all as many as they found, both bad “ and good : and the wedding was furnished

with guests. And when the king came in to 11

see the guests, he saw there a man i which Eph: 4.24. “ had not on a wedding garment: and he saith 12

speechless. Then said the king to the servants, 13
“ Bind him hand and foot, and take him away,
“ and cast him into outer darkness; there shall
“ be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many 14

are called, but few are chosen.”
