9 But now seynge ye knowe God (yee rather are knowne off God) how is it that ye turne you backe agayne vnto the weake and beggerly tradicions, wher vnto ye desyre agayne afresh to be in bondage?
10 Ye obserue dayes and monethes, and tymes and yeares.
11 I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed laboure on you in vayne.
12 Brethre I beseke you, be ye as I am, for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurte me at all.
13 For ye knowe how that in weaknes after ye flesh I preached ye Gospell vnto you at the first:
14 and my tentacion which I suffred after the flesh, ye despysed not, nether abhorred, but receaued me as an angell of God, yee euen as Christ Iesus.
15 How happy were ye then? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had bene possible, ye had plucked out youre awne eyes, and geue them vnto me.
16 Am I therfore become yor enemy, because I tell you ye trueth?
17 They are gelous ouer you amysse. Yee they wolde make you to fall backe, that ye might be feruet to the warde.
18 It is good to be feruent, so yt it be allwaye in a good thinge, and not onely whan I am present wt you.
19 My litle children (of whom I trauayle in byrth agayne, vntyll Christ be fashioned in you)
20 I wolde I were wt you now, and coulde chauge my voyce, for I stode i doute of you.
