10 besechinge that at one tyme or other, a prosperous iorneye (by the wyll of God) myghte fortune me, to come vnto you.
11 For I longe to se you that I myght bestowe amonge you some spyrytuall gyfte, to strength you wyth all,
12 that is that I might haue consolacion together wyth you through the common fayth, whiche both ye and I haue.
13 I woulde that ye shoulde knowe bretherne, howe that I haue often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) to haue some fruite amonge you, as I haue amonge other of the Gentyls.
