7 in godlynes brotherly kyndnes, in brotherly kyndnes loue.
8 For yf these thynges be amonge you, and be plenteous, thy wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

10 Wherfore brethren, geue the more diligence for to make your calling & eleccyon sure For yf ye do soch thynges, ye shall neuer fall.
