The Parable of the PRODIGAL.
LUKE 15. 11, &c. 11. A certain man had two Sons. 12. And the younger of them said to his Father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his Living. 13. And not many days after, the younger Son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far Country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that Land, and he began to be in want. 15. And he went and joined himself to a Citizen of that Country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine, &c.
