“For ye suffer … if a man smite you on the face.” (March 20, 1814)

2 Cor. 11:16-12:10 is the Second Lesson in the Evening Prayer on the fifth Sunday in Lent, which unless I’m much mistaken would have been March 20 in 1814. 

Thanks to Lynda M. Howell for her website listing the text for each day in the year!
