This was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was made nothing which was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men ; and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for testimony, to give testimony of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light; but to give testimony of the light. It was the true light, which enlightneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and is own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the Sons of God; to those that believe in his name; who, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God are born: AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt in us. And we saw the glory of him; glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, full of-grace and verity. P. Thanks be to God. derent per illum. Non erat ille lux; sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat lux vera, quæ illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum.

R. Amen. A Prayer for obtaining the effects of a Plenary or other Indulgences granted by the Church. A INSTRUCTION. N Indulgence is a favour granted by the Church to penitent sinners, whereby, in consideration of their performing some particular acts of religion, specified in the grant of the indulgence, the whole, or part of the canonical pennance, formerly enjoined for particular sins, is relaxed and remitted. If the whole be remitted, the Indulgence is called Plenary; if only a part, it is called an indulgence of seven years, four years, two years, or forty days, according to the part of the Canonical pennance to be remitted.

But desiring likewise that the "abuses that have crept therein may be corrected, she "orders in general the abolishing all traffic for gaining |
