² Ye are oure pistle written in oure hertes which is vnderstonde and reed of all men

³ I speake not this to condempne you: for I have shewed you before yt ye are in oure hertes to dye and live with you.

⁶ For in Iesu Christ nether is circumcision enythinge worth nether yet vncircocision but faith which by love is mighty in operacion.

¹ For this cause I Paul a in ye bodes of Iesus christ for youre sakes which are hethen:

¹ I therfore which am in bondes for the lordes sake exhorte you that ye walke worthy of the vocacion wherwith ye are called

²⁰ whereof I am a messenger in bondes that therin I maye speake frely as it becommeth me to speake.

⁵ because of the fellowshyp which ye have in the gospell from the fyrst daye vnto now:

¹⁶ The one parte preacheth Christ of stryfe and not purely supposinge to adde more adversitie to my bondes. ¹⁷ The other parte of love because they se that I am set to defend the gospell.

¹⁴ Not wistondynge ye have well done that ye bare parte with me in my tribvlacion.

³ gevynge prayenge also for vs that God open vnto vs the dore of vtteraunce that we maye speake the mistery of Christ wherfore I am in bondes:

¹⁸ The salutacion by the honde of me Paul. Remember my bondes. Grace be with you. Amen.

² We geve God thakes all waye for you all makinge mension of you in oure prayers ³ with out ceasynge and call to remembraunce youre worke in the faythe and labour in love and perseveraunce in the hope of oure lorde Iesus Christ in the sight of God oure father: ⁴ because we knowe brethren beloved of god how yt ye are electe. ⁵ For oure gospell came not vnto you in worde only but also in power and also in the holy gost and in moche certayntie as ye knowe after what maner we behaued oure selves amonge you for youre sakes.

⁵ Ye are all the childre of light and the children of ye daye. We are not of ye nyght nether of darcknes.

⁸ Be not a shamed to testyfye oure lorde nether be a shamed of me which am bounde for his sake: but suffre adversite with ye gospell also thorow ye power of god

⁹ wherin I suffre trouble as an evyll doar even vnto bondes. But the worde of god was not bounde.

¹ Wherfore holy brethren partakers of the celestiall callinge cosyder the embasseatour and hye prest of oure profession Christ Iesus

⁹ Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake. ¹⁰ For god is not vnrighteous that he shuld forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of love which love shewed in his name which have ministred vnto the saynctes and yet minister

³³ partly whill all men wondred and gased at you for the shame and trioulacion that was done vnto you and partly whill ye became companyons of the which so passed their tyme. ³⁴ For ye suffered also with my bondes and toke a worth the spoylynge of youre goodes and that with gladnes knowynge in youre selves how that ye had in heven a better and an endurynge substaunce

¹³ but reioyce in as moche as ye are partetakers of Christes passions that when his glory appereth ye maye be mery and glad.

¹ The elders which are amonge you I exhorte which am also an elder and a witnes of the affliccions of Christ and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened:

¹³ Notwithstodinge I thynke yt mete (as longe as I am in this tabernacle) to stere you vp by puttynge you in remebraunce

¹⁴ We knowe that we are translated from deeth vnto lyfe be cause we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abydeth in deeth.

⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of oure God wherby the daye springe from an hye hath visited vs.

¹ I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost

¹² ye are in no strayte in vs but are in a strayte in youre awne bowelles:

¹⁵ And now is his inwarde affection more aboundant towarde you when he remembreth the obedience of every one of you: how with feare and trymblynge ye receaved hym.

⁹ We are glad when we are weake and ye stronge. This also we wisshe for even that ye were perfect.

²⁰ The thinges which I write beholde God knoweth I lye not.

¹⁹ My littel children (of whom I travayle in birth againe vntill Christ be fassioned in you)

¹ If ther be amoge you eny consolacion in Christ yf ther be eny cofortable love yf there be eny fellishippe of the sprete yf ther be eny copassion or mercy:

²⁶ For he longed after you and was full of hevines because that ye had hearde saye that he shuld be sicke.

¹ I wolde ye knewe what fyghtinge I have for youre sakes and for them of Laodicia and for as many as have not sene my parson in the flesshe

¹² Now therfore as electe of god holy and beloved put on tender mercie kyndnes humblenes of myndes meknes longe sufferynge

⁵ Nether was oure conversacion at eny tyme wt flatterynge wordes as ye well knowe nether in cloked coveteousnes God is recorde:

⁸ so was oure affeccion towarde you oure good will was to have dealte vnto you not the gospell of God only: but also oure awne soules because ye were deare vnto vs.

⁴ desyrynge to se the myndfull of thy teares: so that I am filled with ioye

¹² whom I have sent home agayne. Thou therfore receave him that is to saye myne awne bowels

²⁰ Even so brother let me enioye the in the Lorde. Comforte my bowels in the Lorde.

¹⁷ Whosoever hath this worldes good and seith his brother have neade: and shutteth vp his copassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him?

³¹ Another parable he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde ³² which is ye leest of all seedes. But when it is groune it is the greatest amoge yerbes and it is a tree: so yt the bryddes of the ayer come and bylde in the brauches of it. ³³ Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in .iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.

²⁰ Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.

⁷ Now therfore as ye are ryche in all parties in fayth in worde in knowledge in all fervetnes and in love which ye have to vs: even so se that ye be plenteons in this benivolence.

¹⁷ Wherfore be ye not vnwyse but vnderstonde what the will of the Lorde is

¹⁵ Let vs therfore as many as be perfect be thus wyse minded: and yf ye be other wyse mynded I praye God open even this vnto you. ¹⁶ Neverthelesse in that wher vnto we are come let vs procede by one rule yt we maye be of one acorde.

⁹ For this cause we also sence the daye we herde of it have not ceasyd prayinge for you and desyringe that ye myght be fulfilled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdome and spretuall vnderstodynge

¹⁰ and the new put on which is renued in knowledge after the ymage of him that made him

¹² and the lorde increace you and make you flowe ouer in love one towarde another and towarde all men even as we do towarde you

¹ Further more we beseche you brethren and exhorte you in the lorde Iesus that ye increace more and more euen as ye have receaved of vs how ye ought to walke and to please god.

⁹ But as touchynge brotherly love ye nede not that I wryte vnto you. For ye are taught of God to love on another. ¹⁰ Ye and that thinge verely ye do vnto all the brethre which are thorow oute all Macedonia. We beseche you brethren that ye encreace more and more

⁶ so that the fellisshippe that thou hast in the fayth is frutefull thorow knowledge of all good thinges which are in you by Iesus Christ.

¹⁴ But stronge meate belongeth to them that are parfecte which thorow custome have their wittes exercised to iudge both good and evyll also.

²² And for as moche as ye have purified youre soules thorowe the sprete in obeyinge the trueth for to love brotherly withouten saynynge se that ye love one another with a pure hert fervently:

⁵ And hervnto geve all diligence: in youre fayth minister vertve and in vertue knowledge ⁶ and in knowledge temperancy and in temrancy pacience in pacience godlynes

¹⁸ but growe in grace and in the knowledge of oure lorde and saveoure Iesus Christ.To whom he glory bothe now and for ever. Amen.

⁵ sayde not he vnto me that she was hys sister? yee and sayde not she herself that he was hir brother? wyth a pure herte and innocent handes haue I done this.

²³ Then tourned he aboute and sayde vnto Peter: come after me Satan thou offendest me because thou sauourest not godly thinges but wordly thinges

⁶ But whosoever offende one of these lytelons which beleve in me: it were better for him that a milstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he were drouned in the depth of the see. ⁷ Wo be vnto the world because of offences. How be it it cannot be avoided but yt offences shalbe geven. Neverthelesse woo be to ye man by who the offence cometh.

³³ Peter answered and sayde vnto him: though all men shulde be offended by ye yet wolde I never be offended.

⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle.

²⁰ For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.

¹⁶ And therfore stody I to have a cleare consciece towarde God and toward man also.

¹⁸ and knowest his will and hast experience of good and bad in that thou arte informed by the lawe:

¹⁶ Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.

²² I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.

⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is emnyte agaynst God: for it is not obedient to the lawe of God nether can be.

² And fassion not youre selves lyke vnto this worlde: But be ye chaunged in youre shape by the renuynge of youre wittes that ye maye fele what thynge that good yt acceptable and perfaycte will of god is.

⁹ Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.

²⁰ Destroye not ye worke of god for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is evyll for that man which eateth with hurte of his conscience. ²¹ It is good nether to eate flesshe nether to drincke wyne nether eny thinge wherby thy brother stombleth ether falleth or is made weake.

¹⁷ I beseche you brethre marke them which cause division and geve occasions of evyll contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoyde them.

¹³ Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother I will eate no flesshe whill the worlde stondeth because I will not hurte my brother.

³² Se that ye geve occasion of evell nether to ye Iewes nor yet to the gentyls nether to ye cogregacion of god:

¹² Oure reioysynge is this the testimony of oure coscience yt in synglenes and godly purenes and not in flesshly wysdome but by the grace of God we have had oure conuersacion in the worlde and most of all to you wardes.

¹⁷ For we are not as many are which choppe and chaunge with the worde of God: but even oute of purenes and by the power of God and in the sight of God so speake we in Christ.

³ Let vs geve no man occasion of evyll that in oure office be founde no faute:

⁸ Thys saye I not as commaundynge: but be cause other are so fervent therfore prove I youre love whether it be perfait or no.

¹³ For these falce apostles are disceatefull workers and fassion them selves lyke vnto ye apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvayle for satan him silfe is chaunged into the fassion of an angell of light. ¹⁵ Therfore it is no great thynge though his ministers fassion them selves as though they were the ministers of rightewesnes: whose ende shalbe acordynge to their dedes.

¹¹ Brethren yf I yet preache circucision: why do I then yet suffre persecucion? For then had the offence which the crosse geveth ceased.

¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue and in all thynges growe in him which is the heed that ys to saye Christ

¹⁰ Accept that which is pleasinge to the Lorde:

²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a glorious congregacion with oute spot or wrynckle or eny soche thinge: but that it shuld be holy and with out blame.

²⁴ Grace be with all them which love oure lorde Iesus Christ in puernes. Amen.

⁶ and am suerly certified of this that he which beganne a good worke in you shall go forthe with it vntyll the daye of Iesus Christ

¹⁶ The one parte preacheth Christ of stryfe and not purely supposinge to adde more adversitie to my bondes.

¹³ to make youre hertes stable and vnblameable in holynes before God oure father at the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ with all his sainctes.

²¹ Examen all thinges and kepe that which is good.

²³ The very God of peace sanctifie you thorow out. And I praye God that youre whole sprete soulse and body be kept fautlesse vnto ye comynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ

¹² For when as cocerninge ye tyme ye ought to be teachers yet have ye nede agayne that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of god: and are become soche as have nede of mylke and not of stronge meate: ¹³ For every man that is feed with mylke is inexperte in the worde of rightewesnes. For he is but a babe. ¹⁴ But stronge meate belongeth to them that are parfecte which thorow custome have their wittes exercised to iudge both good and evyll also.

¹ Ye beloved beleve not every sprete: but prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

² I knowe thy workes and thy labour and thy pacience and howe thou cannest not forbeare the which are evyll: and examinedst them which saye they are Apostles and are not: and hast founde them lyars

¹⁶ Let youre light so shyne before men yt they maye se youre good workes and glorify youre father which is in heven.

⁶ He put forthe this similiiude A certayne man had a fygge tree planted in his veneyarde and he came and sought frute theron and founde none. ⁷ Then sayde he to ye dresser of his vyneyarde: Beholde this thre yeare have I come and sought frute in this fygge tree and fynde none: cut it doune: why combreth it the grounde? ⁸ And he answered and sayde vnto him: lorde let it alone this yeare also till I digge rounde aboute it and doge it to se ⁹ whether it will beare frute: and if it beare not then after yt cut it doune

² Every braunche that beareth not frute in me he will take awaye. And every braunche that beareth frute will he pourge yt it maye bringe moare frute.

⁴ Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne and ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me and I in him the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge.

⁸ Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you.

²² But now are ye delivered from synne and made the servauntes of God and have youre frute that ye shuld be sanctifyed and the ende everlastinge lyfe.

²⁸ When I have performed this and have brought them this frute sealed. I will come backe agayne by you into Spayne.

³¹ Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke or what soever ye do do all to the prayse of God.

¹⁰ He yt fyndeth the sower seed shall minister breed for fode and shall multiplie youre seed and increace the frutes of youre rightewesnes

²² But ye frute of sprete is loue ioye peace longesufferinge getlenes goodnes faythfulnes ²³ meknes temperancye. Agaynst suche ther is no lawe.

¹² that we which before beleved in Christ shuld be vnto the prayse of his glory.

¹⁴ which is the ernest of oure inheritaunce to redeme the purchased possession and that vnto the laude of his glory.

¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshippe created in Christ Iesu vnto good workes vnto the which god ordeyned vs before that we shuld walke in them.

⁹ For the frute of the sprete is in all goodnes rightewesnes and trueth.

¹⁷ not that I desyre gyftes: but I desyre aboudant frute on youre parte.

⁶ which is come vnto you eve as it is in to all ye worlde and is frutefull as it is amoge you fro the fyrst daye in ye which ye herde of it and had experiece in ye grace of God in the trueth

¹⁰ that ye myght walke worthy of the lorde in all thynges that please beynge frutfull in all good workes and encreasynge in ye knowledge of God

¹² that the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ maye be gloryfied in you and ye in him thorowe the grace of oure God and of the lorde Iesus Christ.

¹¹ No manner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyeous but greveous: neverthelesse afterwarde it bryngeth the quyet frute of rightewesnes vnto them which are therin exercysed.

¹⁵ For by him offer we the sacrifice of laude allwayes to god: that is to saye the frute of those lyppes which confesse his name. ¹⁶ To do good and to distribute forget not for with suche sacrifises god is pleased.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is fyrst pure then peasable gentle and easy to be entreated full of mercy and good frutes without iudgynge and without simulacio: ¹⁸ yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

⁵ and ye as lyvynge stones are made a spretuall housse and an holy presthode for to offer vp spretuall sacryfice acceptable to god by Iesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are a chosyn generacion a royall presthod an holy nacio and a peculiar people that ye shuld shewe the vertues of him that called you out of darknes into hys marvelous light

¹² and se that ye have honest conversacion amonge the getyls that they which backbyte you as evyll doars maye se youre good workes and prayse god in the daye of visitacion.

¹⁰ As every man hath receaved the gyfte minister the same one to another as good ministers of the manyfolde grace of God. ¹¹ Yf eny man speake let him talke as though he spake ye wordes of God. If eny man minister let him do it as of ye abilitie which god ministreth vnto him. That god in all thinges maye be glorified thorow Iesus Christ to whom be prayse and dominion for ever and whyll the worlde stondeth. Amen.

¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ happie are ye. For the sprete of glory and the sprete of god resteth apon you. On their parte he is evyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorified.

¹¹ Now I knowe that the Lorde is greater the all goddes, for because that they dealte prowdly with them.

⁴ They that were scattered abroade went every where preachyng the worde.

¹⁹ They which were scattryd abroade thorow the affliccion that arose aboute Steven walked thorow oute tyll they came vnto Phenices and Cypers and Antioche preachynge ye worde to no man but vnto the Iewes only. ²⁰ Some of them were men of Cypers and Syrene which when they were come into Antioche spake vnto the Grekes and preched the Lorde Iesus. ²¹ And the honde of the Lorde was with them and a greate nombre beleved and turned vnto the Lorde.

²⁸ cryinge: men of Israel helpe. This is the man that teacheth all men every where agaynst the people and the lawe and this place. Moreover also he hath brought Grekes into the teple and hath polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they sawe one Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the cyte. Him they supposed Paul had brought into the teple. ³⁰ And all the cyte was moved and the people swarmed to geder. And they toke Paul and drue him out of the teple and forthwith the dores were shut to. ³¹ As they went about to kyll him tydinges came vnto the hye captayne of the soudiers that all Ierusalem was moved. ³² Which immediatly toke soudiers and vndercaptaynes and ranne doune vnto them. When they sawe ye vpper captayne and the soudiers they lefte smytinge of Paul. ³³ Then the captayne came neare and toke him and comaunded him to be bounde with two chaynes and demaunded what he was and what he had done. ³⁴ And one cryed this another that amoge the people. And whe he coulde not knowe the certayntie for ye rage he comaunded him to be caryed into the castle. ³⁵ And whe he came vnto a grece it fortuned that he was borne of the soudiers of the violence of the people. ³⁶ For the multitude of the people folowed after cryinge: awaye wt him.

¹ Ye men brethre and fathers heare myne answere which I make vnto you. ² Whe they hearde that he spake in ye Ebrue tonge to them they kept the moore silence. And he sayde: ³ I am verely aman which am a Iewe borne in Tharsus a cite in Cicill: neverthelesse yet brought vp in this cite at ye fete of Gamaliel and informed diligently in the lawe of the fathers and was fervent mynded to Godwarde as ye all are this same daye ⁴ and I persecuted this waye vnto the deeth byndynge and delyveringe into preson bothe men and wemen ⁵ as the chefe prest doth beare me witnes and all the elders: of whom also I receaved letters vnto the brethren and wet to Damasco to bringe them which were there bounde vnto Ierusalem for to be punysshed. ⁶ And it fortuned as I made my iorney and was come nye vnto Damasco aboute none yt sodenly ther shone fro heaven a greate lyght rounde aboute me ⁷ and I fell vnto the erth and hearde a voyce sayinge vnto me: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? ⁸ And I answered: what arte thou Lorde? And he sayd vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest. ⁹ And they that were with me sawe verely a lyght and were a frayde: but they hearde not the voyce of him that spake with me. ¹⁰ And I sayde: what shall I do Lorde? And the Lorde sayde vnto me: Aryse and goo into Damasco and there it shalbe tolde the of all thinges which are apoynted for the to do. ¹¹ And when I sawe nothynge for the brightnes of that light I was ledde by the honde of them that were with me and came into Damasco. ¹² And one Ananias a perfect man and as pertayninge to the lawe havinge good reporte of all the Iewes which there dwelt ¹³ came vnto me and stode and sayd vnto me: Brother Saul loke vp. And that same houre I receaved my sight and sawe him. ¹⁴ And he sayde the God of oure fathers hath ordeyned the before that thou shuldest knowe his will and shuldest se that which is rightfull and shuldest heare the voyce of his mouth: ¹⁵ for thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men of tho thinges which thou thou hast sene and hearde. ¹⁶ And now: why tariest thou? Aryse and be baptised and wesshe awaye thy synnes in callinge on ye name of ye Lorde. ¹⁷ And it fortuned when I was come agayne to Ierusalem and prayde in the teple yt I was in a trauce ¹⁸ and sawe him sayinge vnto me. Make haste and get the quickly out of Ierusalem: for they will not receave thy witnes yt thou bearest of me. ¹⁹ And I sayde: Lorde they knowe that I presoned and bet in every synagoge them that beleved on the. ²⁰ And when the bloud of thy witnes Steven was sheed I also stode by and consented vnto his deeth and kept the rayment of them that slewe him. ²¹ And he sayde vnto me: departe for I will sende the a farre hence vnto the Gentyls. ²² They gave him audience vnto this worde and then lifte vp their voyces and sayde: a waye wt soche a felowe fro the erth: yt is pitie that he shuld live. ²³ And as they cryed and cast of their clothes and thrue dust into ye ayer ²⁴ ye captayne bade him to be brought into the castle and commaunded him to be scourged and to be examined that he myght knowe wherfore they cryed on him. ²⁵ And as they bounde him with thoges Paul sayde vnto the Centurion that stode by: Ys it laufull for you to scourge a man that is a Romain and vncondempned? ²⁶ When the Centurion hearde that he went and tolde the vpper captayne sayinge: What intendest thou to do? This man is a Romayne. ²⁷ Then the vpper captayne came and sayde to him: tell me art thou a Romayne? He sayde: Yee. ²⁸ And the captayne answered: with a greate some obtayned I this fredome. And Paul sayde: I was fre borne. ²⁹ Then strayght waye departed from him they which shuld have examyned him. And the hye captayne also was a frayde after he knewe that he was a Romayne: because he had bounde him. ³⁰ On the morowe because he wolde have knowen the certayntie wherfore he was accused of the Iewes he lowsed him from his bondes and commaunded the hye Prestes and all the counsell to come together and brought Paul and set him before them.

¹ And when they were scaped then they knewe that the yle was called Milete. ² And the people of the countre shewed vs no lytell kyndnes: for they kyndled a fyre and receaved vs every one because of the present rayne and because of colde. ³ And when Paul had gaddered a boundle of stickes and put them into the fyre ther came a viper out of the heet and lept on his honde. ⁴ When the men of the contre sawe the worme hange on his honde they sayde amonge the selves: this man must nedes be a mortherer. Whome (though he have escaped the see) yet vengeaunce suffreth not to lyve. ⁵ But he shouke of the vermen into the fyre and felt no harme. ⁶ Howbeit they wayted when he shuld have swolne or fallen doune deed sodenly. But after they had loked a greate whyle and sawe no harme come to him they chaunged their myndes and sayde that he was a God. ⁷ In the same quarters the chefe man of the yle whose name was Publius had a lordshippe: the same receaved vs and lodged vs thre dayes courteously. ⁸ And it fortuned that the father of Publius laye sicke of a fiever and of a bluddy flixe. To who Paul entred in and prayde and layde his hondes on him and healed him. ⁹ When this was done other also which had diseases in the yle came and were healed. ¹⁰ And they dyd vs gret honoure. And when we departed they laded vs with thinges necessary. ¹¹ After thre monethes we departed in a ship of Alexandry which had wyntred in the yle whose badge was Castor and Pollux. ¹² And whe we came to Cyracusa we taryed there .iii. dayes. ¹³ And from thence we set a compasse and came to Regium. And after one daye the south wynde blewe and we came the next daye to Putiolus: ¹⁴ where we founde brethren and were desyred to tary with them seven dayes and so came to Rome. ¹⁵ And from thence when ye brethren hearde of vs they came agaynst vs to Apiphorum and to ye thre taverns. When Paul sawe the he thanked God and wexed bolde. ¹⁶ And when he came to Rome ye vnder captayne delyvered ye presoners to ye chefe captayne of ye host: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with one soudier that kept him. ¹⁷ And it fortuned after thre dayes that Paul called ye chefe of ye Iewes together. And whe they were come he sayde vnto the: Men and brethren though I have comitted nothinge agaynst the people or lawes of oure fathers: yet was I delyvered presoner from Ierusalem in to the hondes of ye Romayns. ¹⁸ Which when they had examined me wolde have let me goo because they founde no cause of deeth in me. ¹⁹ But when ye Iewes cryed cotrary I was constrayned to appeale vnto Cesar: not because I had ought to accuse my people of. ²⁰ For this cause have I called for you eve to se you and to speake with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bounde with this chayne. ²¹ And they sayde vnto him: We nether receaved letters out of Iewry pertayninge vnto ye nether came eny of the brethren that shewed or spake eny harme of the. ²² But we will heare of the what thou thynkest. For we have hearde of this secte that every wheare it is spoken agaynst. ²³ And when they had apoynted him a daye ther came many vnto him into his lodgynge. To whom he expounded and testifyed the kyngdome of God and preached vnto the of Iesu: both out of the lawe of Moses and also out of the prophetes even from mornynge to nyght. ²⁴ And some beleved ye thinges which were spoken and some beleved not. ²⁵ When they agreed not amonge the selves they departed after that Paul had spoken one worde. Well spake the holy goost by Esay ye prophet vnto oure fathers ²⁶ sayinge: Goo vnto this people and saye: with youre eares shall ye heare and shall not vnderstonde: and with youre eyes shall ye se and shall not perceave. ²⁷ For the hert of this people is wexed grosse and their eares were thycke of hearynge and their eyes have they closed: lest they shuld se with their eyes and heare with their eares and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shulde heale them. ²⁸ Be it knowen therfore vnto you that this salvacion of God is sent to the gentyls and they shall heare it. ²⁹ And when he had sayde that the Iewes departed and had grete despicios amonge them selves. ³⁰ And Paul dwelt two yeares full in his lodgynge and receaved all that came to him ³¹ preachyng the kyngdome of God and teachynge those thinges which concerned the lorde Iesus with all confidence vnforboden.

²⁸ For we knowe that all thinges worke for the best vnto them yt love God which also are called of purpose.

³⁷ Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs.

²³ but that the holy goost witnesseth in every cite sayinge: yt bondes and trouble abyde me. ²⁴ But none of tho thinges move me: nether is my lyfe dere vnto my selfe that I myght fulfill my course wt ioye and the ministracio which I have receaved of ye Lorde Iesu to testify the gospell of ye grace of god.

¹¹ When he was come vnto vs he toke Pauls gerdell and bounde his hondes and fete and sayde: thus saith the holy goost: so shall ye Iewes at Ierusalem bynde the man yt oweth this gerdell and shall delyver him into the hondes of the gentyls. ¹² When we hearde this both we and other of the same place besought him that he wolde not goo vp to Ierusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered and sayde: what do ye wepynge and breakinge myne hert? I am redy not to be bound only but also to dye at Ierusalem for ye name of ye Lorde Iesu.

²⁹ And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.

³¹ And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.

¹⁷ And it fortuned after thre dayes that Paul called ye chefe of ye Iewes together. And whe they were come he sayde vnto the: Men and brethren though I have comitted nothinge agaynst the people or lawes of oure fathers: yet was I delyvered presoner from Ierusalem in to the hondes of ye Romayns.

²⁰ For this cause have I called for you eve to se you and to speake with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bounde with this chayne.

³⁰ And Paul dwelt two yeares full in his lodgynge and receaved all that came to him

²² All the saynctes salute you: and most of all they which are of the Emperours housholde.

³ gevynge prayenge also for vs that God open vnto vs the dore of vtteraunce that we maye speake the mistery of Christ wherfore I am in bondes: ⁴ yt I maye vtter it as it becometh me to speake. ⁵ Walke wysely to them that are with out and redeme ye tyme. ⁶ Let youre speache be all wayes well favoured and be powdred with salt that ye maye know how to answer every ma. ⁷ The deare brother Tichicos shall tell you of all my busynes which is a faythfull minister and felowe servaunt in the Lorde ⁸ whom I have sent vnto you for the same purpose that he myght knowe how ye do and myght comfort youre hertes ⁹ wt one Onesimus a faythfull and a beloved brother which is one of you. They shall shewe you of all thinges which are adoynge here. ¹⁰ Aristarchus my preson felowe saluteth you and Marcus Barnabassis systers sonne: touchinge whom ye receaved commaundementes. Yf he come vnto you receave him: ¹¹ and Iesus which is called Iustus which are of the circumcision. These only are my workefelowes vnto the kyngdome of God which were vnto my consolacion. ¹² Epaphras the servaut of Christ which is one of you saluteth you and all wayes laboreth fervently for you in prayers that ye maye stonde perfect and full in all that is the will of God. ¹³ I beare him recorde that he hath a fervet mynde towarde you and towarde them of Laodicia and them of Hierapolis. ¹⁴ Deare Lucas the Phisicion greteth you and Demas. ¹⁵ Salute the brethren which are of Laodicia and salute Nymphas and the congregacio which is in his housse. ¹⁶ And whe the pistle is reed of you make that it be reed in the congregacion of the Laodicians also: and that ye lyke wyse reade ye epistle of Laodicia. ¹⁷ And saye to Archippus: take hede to the office that thou hast receaved in the Lorde that thou fulfill it. ¹⁸ The salutacion by the honde of me Paul. Remember my bondes. Grace be with you. Amen.

⁸ For from you sounded out the worde of the lorde not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but youre fayth also which ye have vnto god spred her silfe abroade in all quartars so greatly that it nedeth not vs to speake eny thynge at all. ⁹ For they the selves shewe of you what maner of entrynge in we had vnto you and how ye tourned to God from ymages for to serve the livynge and true god

¹² Dearly beloved be not troubled in this heate which now is come amoge you to trye you as though some strauge thinge had happened vnto you: ¹³ but reioyce in as moche as ye are partetakers of Christes passions that when his glory appereth ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ happie are ye. For the sprete of glory and the sprete of god resteth apon you. On their parte he is evyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorified. ¹⁵ Se that none of you suffre as a murtherer or as a thefe or an evyll doar or as a busybody in other mens matters. ¹⁶ Yf eny man suffre as a Christe man let him not be ashamed: but let him glorifie god on his behalfe.

⁷⁴ for to geve vs. That we delyvered oute of ye hondes of oure enemyes myght serve him with oute feare

⁵ But I will shewe you whom ye shall feare. Feare him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell. Ye I saye vnto you him feare. ⁶ Are not five sparowes bought for two farthinges? And yet not one of them is forgotten of God. ⁷ Also even the very heres of youre heedes are nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes.

²³ Assone as they were let goo they came to their felowes and shewed all that the hye prestes and elders had sayde to them. ²⁴ And when they hearde that they lyfte vp their voyces to God with one accorde and sayde: Lorde thou arte God which hast made heaven and erth the see and all that in them is ²⁵ which by the mouth of thy servaunt David hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage and the people immagen vayne thinges. ²⁶ The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst his Christ. ²⁷ For of a trueth agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus whom thou hast annoynted bothe Herode and also Poncius Pylate with the Gentils and the people of Israel gaddered them selves to gedder ²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy honde and thy counsell determined before to be done. ²⁹ And now Lorde beholde their threatenynges and graunte vnto thy servauntes with all confidence to speake thy worde. ³⁰ So that thou stretche forth thy honde that healynge and signes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus. ³¹ And assone as they had prayed the place moved wheare they were assembled to gedder and they were all filled with the holy goost and they spake the worde of God boldely.

³ Blessed be God ye father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ the father of mercy and the God of all comforte ⁴ which comforteth vs in all oure tribulacio in so moche yt we are able to coforte them which are troubled in whatsoever tribulacion it be with the same comforte wher with we oure selves are coforted of God. ⁵ For as ye affliccios of Christ are pleteous in vs eve so is oure consolacio plenteous by Christ. ⁶ Whether we be troubled for youre consolacion and salvacio which salvacion sheweth her power in yt ye soffre ye same affliccios which we also suffre: or whether we be coforted for youre consolacion and salvacion: ⁷ yet oure hope is stedfast for you in as moch as we know how that as ye have youre parte in affliccios so shall ye be parttakers of consolacion.

¹³ Wherfore I desire yt ye faynt not because of my trybulacios for youre sakes: which is youre prayse.

¹⁹ and for me that vttraunce maye be geve vnto me that I maye open my mouth boldly to vtter the secretes of the gospell ²⁰ whereof I am a messenger in bondes that therin I maye speake frely as it becommeth me to speake.

⁴ yt I maye vtter it as it becometh me to speake.

⁷ The deare brother Tichicos shall tell you of all my busynes which is a faythfull minister and felowe servaunt in the Lorde

⁵ All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes

⁵ Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria and preached Christ vnto them.

³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth and beganne at ye same scripture and preached vnto him Iesus.

²⁰ And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.

³⁶ Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the chyldren of Israel preachinge peace by Iesus Christe (which is Lorde over all thinges):

²⁰ Some of them were men of Cypers and Syrene which when they were come into Antioche spake vnto the Grekes and preched the Lorde Iesus.

¹⁷ I beseche you brethre marke them which cause division and geve occasions of evyll contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoyde them. ¹⁸ For they yt are suche serve not ye Lorde Iesus Christ: but their awne bellyes and with swete preachinges and flatteringe wordes deceave the hertes of the innocetes.

²³ But we preache Christ crucified vnto the Iewes an occasion of fallinge and vnto the Grekes folisshnes:

³ For ye are yet carnall. As longe verely as ther is amoge you envyige stryfe and dissencio: are ye not carnall and walke after ye manner of me? ⁴ As loge as one sayth I holde of Paul and another I am of Apollo are ye not carnall?

³ And though I bestowed all my gooddes to fede ye poore and though I gave my body even that I burned and yet had no love it profeteth me nothinge.

¹⁹ For Goddis sonne Iesus Christ which was preached amonge you by vs (that is to saye by me and Silvanus and Timotheus) was not ye and naye: but in him it was ye.

⁵ For we preache not oure selves but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde and oure selves youre servautes for Iesus sake.

¹³ For these falce apostles are disceatefull workers and fassion them selves lyke vnto ye apostles of Christ.

²⁰ For I feare lest it come to passe that when I come I shall not fynde you soche as I wolde: and I shalbe foude vnto you soche as ye wolde not: I feare lest ther be founde amoge you debate envyinge wrath stryfe backbytynges whisperynges swellynges and discorde.

⁴ and that because of incomers beynge falce brethren which came in amoge other to spye out oure libertie which we have in Christ Iesus that they might bringe vs into bondage.

¹⁶ The one parte preacheth Christ of stryfe and not purely supposinge to adde more adversitie to my bondes. ¹⁷ The other parte of love because they se that I am set to defend the gospell. ¹⁸ What then? So that Christ be preached all maner wayes whether it be by occasion or of true meaninge I therin ioye: ye and will ioye.

³ that nothinge be done thorow stryfe or vayne glory but that in mekenes of mynde every man esteme other better then him selfe

¹⁶ And with out naye great is that mistery of godlines: God was shewed in the flesshe was iustified in the sprete was sene of angels was preached vnto the gentyls was beleved on in erth and receaved vp in glory.

⁵ Ether do ye thinke that the scripture sayth in vayne The sprite that dwelleth in you lusteth eve contrary to envie: ⁶ but geveth more grace.

² se that ye fede Christes flocke which is amonge you takynge the oversyght of them not as though ye were compelled therto but willyngly: not for the desyre of filthy lucre but of a good mynde. ³ not as though ye were lordes over the parisshes: but that ye be a insample to the flocke. ⁴ And when the chef shepheerde shall appere ye shall receave an incorruptible croune of glorye.

¹ Therfore seinge that we have soche an office eve as mercy is come on vs we faynte not: ² but have cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestie and walke not in craftines nether corrupte we the worde of God: but walke in open trueth and reporte oure selves to every mannes conscience in the sight of God.

¹² I wolde ye vnderstode brethern that my busynes is happened vnto the greater furtherynge of the gospell.

¹⁴ Let it sticke therfore faste in youre hertes not once to stody before what ye shall answere:

¹ Ye men brethre and fathers heare myne answere which I make vnto you.

¹ Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.

²⁴ As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.

¹³ I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethre how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of ye Gentyls. ¹⁴ For I am detter both to the Grekes and to them which are no Grekes vnto the learned and also vnto the vnlearned. ¹⁵ Lykewyse as moche as in me is I am redy to preache the Gospell to you of Rome also. ¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle. ¹⁷ For by it ye rightewesnes which cometh of god is opened fro fayth to fayth. As it is written: The iust shall live by fayth.

¹⁶ 16. In that I preache the gospell I have nothinge to reioyce of. For necessite is put vnto me. Wo is it vnto me yf I preache not the gospell. ¹⁷ If I do it with a good will I have a rewarde. But yf I do it agaynst my will an office is committed vnto me.

⁷ But contrary wyse when they sawe that the gospell over the vncircumcision was comitted vnto me as the gospell over ye circucision was vnto Peter: ⁸ for he yt was myghty in Peter in the Apostleshippe over the circumcision the same was myghty in me amoge the gentyls:

⁷ wherevnto I am ordayned a preacher and an apostle: I tell the trueth in Christ and lye not beynge the teacher of the gentyls in fayth and veritie.

¹¹ whervnto I am apoynted a preacher and an Apostle and a teacher of the gentyls: ¹² for the which cause I also suffre these thinges. Neverthelesse I am not a shamed For I knowe who I have beleved and am sure that he is able to kepe that which I have comitted to his kepynge agaynst that daye.

⁶ For I am now redy to be offered and the tyme of my departynge is at honde. ⁷ I have fought a good fight and have fulfilled my course and have kept the fayth.

¹⁶ At my fyrst answerynge no man assissted me but all forsoke me. I praye God that it maye not be layde to their charges:

¹³ Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.

³⁸ But Iesus sayde forbid him not. For ther is no ma that shall do a miracle in my name that can lightlyge speake evyll of me. ³⁹ Whosoever is not agaynste you is on youre parte. ⁴⁰ And whosoever shall geve you a cuppe of water to drinke for my names sake because ye belonge to Christe verely I saye vnto you he shall not loose his rewarde.

⁴⁰ and devoure widowes houses and that vnder coloure of longe prayinge. These shall receave greater dampnacion.

⁴⁵ But they wist not what yt worde meant and yt was hyd fro the that they vnderstode yt not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.

⁵⁰ And Iesus sayde vnto him: forbyd ye him not. For he that is not agaynst vs is wt vs.

⁹ What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne

¹⁵ What then? Shall we synne because we are not vnder the lawe: but vnder grace? God forbyd.

¹⁹ What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thinge? or that it which is offered to ymages is eny thinge?

¹⁵ What is it then? I will praye with the sprete ad will praye wt the mynde also. I will singe with the sprete and will singe with the mynde also.

¹¹ Whether it were I or they so we preache and so have ye beleved.

¹⁴ In so moche that many of the brethre in ye lorde are boldned thorow my bodes and dare more largely speake the worde with out feare. ¹⁵ Some ther are which preache Christ of envie and stryfe and some of good wyll.

⁹ Whosoever transgresseth and bydeth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He yt endureth in the doctrine of Christ hath bothe the father and the sonne. ¹⁰ Yf ther come eny vnto you and bringe not this learninge him receave not to housse: nether bid him God spede. ¹¹ For he that biddeth him God spede is parttaker of his evyll dedes.

⁷ they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered the not.

⁹ But ye are not geven to the flesshe but to the sprete: yf so be that ye sprite of God dwell in you. If ther be eny man yt hath not ye sprite of Christ ye same is none of his.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent vnto you Timotheus which is my deare sonne and faithfull in the Lorde which shall put you in remembrauce of my wayes which I have in Christ eve as I teache every where in all congregacios.

¹¹ by the helpe of youre prayer for vs: that by the meanes of many occasions thankes maye be geven of many on oure behalfe for the grace geven vnto vs.

⁶ Be cause ye are sonnes God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes which cryeth Abba father.

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes ¹⁹ and for me that vttraunce maye be geve vnto me that I maye open my mouth boldly to vtter the secretes of the gospell

⁷ that youre fayth once tried beinge moche more precious then golde yt perissheth (though it be tried with fyre) myght be founde vnto lawde glory and honoure at the apperinge of Iesus Christ: ⁸ who ye have not sene and yet love him in whom even now though ye se him not ye yet beleue and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious: ⁹ receavynge the ende of youre fayth the salvacion of youre soules.

¹¹ searchinge whe or at what tyme the sprete of Christ which was in them shuld signifie which sprete testified before the passions that shuld come vnto Christ and the glory that shuld folowe after:

²⁷ Now is my soule troubled and what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto this houre ²⁸ Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce fro heaven: I have glorified it and will glorify it agayne.

¹⁹ That spake he signifyinge by what deeth he shuld glorify God.And whe he had sayde thus he sayd to him folowe me.

²⁴ But none of tho thinges move me: nether is my lyfe dere vnto my selfe that I myght fulfill my course wt ioye and the ministracio which I have receaved of ye Lorde Iesu to testify the gospell of ye grace of god.

¹³ Then Paul answered and sayde: what do ye wepynge and breakinge myne hert? I am redy not to be bound only but also to dye at Ierusalem for ye name of ye Lorde Iesu.

⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed for the love of God is sheed abrod in oure hertes by the holy goost which is geven vnto vs.

¹³ Nether geve ye youre members as instrumentes of vnrightewesnes vnto synne: but geve youre selves vnto God as they that are alive from deeth. And geve youre membres as iustrumetes of rightewesnes vnto God.

¹⁹ I will speake grossly because of the infirmitie of youre flesshe. As ye have geve youre membres servauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitie fro iniquitie vnto iniquitie: even so nowe geve youre membres servantes vnto rightewesnes yt ye maye be sanctified.

¹⁹ Also the fervent desyre of the creatures abideth lokynge when the sonnes of God shall appere

³³ As it is written: Beholde I put in Syon a stomblynge stone and a rocke which shall make men faule. And none yt beleve on him shalbe a shamed.

¹ I beseche you therfore brethre by ye mercyfulnes of God that ye make youre bodyes aquicke sacrifise holy and acceptable vnto God which is youre resonable seruynge of god.

⁷ And he yt eateth not eateth not to please ye lorde wt all and geveth god thankes. ⁸ For none of vs lyveth his awne servaut: nether doeth anye of vs dye his awne servaunt. Yf we lyve we lyve to be at ye lordes will. And yf we dye we dye at ye lordes will. Whether we lyve therfore or dye we are the lordes. ⁹ For Christ therfore dyed and rose agayne and revived that he myght be lorde both of deed and quicke.

²⁰ For ye are dearly bought. Therfore glorifie ye God in youre bodyes and in youre spretes for they are goddes.

³⁴ There is differece bitwene a virgin and a wyfe. The single woman careth for the thinges of the lorde that she maye be pure both in body and also in sprete But she that is maryed careth for the thinges of the worlde how she maye please her husband.

³¹ By oure reioysinge which I have in Christ Iesu oure Lorde I dye dayly.

¹⁴ Thankes be vnto God which alwayes geveth vs the victorie in Christ and openeth the saver of his knowledge by vs in every place. ¹⁵ For we are vnto God the swete savoure of Christ both amoge them that are saved and also amoge them which perisshe. ¹⁶ To the one parte are we ye savoure of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other parte are we the savoure of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

¹⁰ And we all wayes beare in oure bodyes the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus that the lyfe of Iesu myght appere in oure bodyes.

¹⁵ and that he dyed for all that they which live shuld not hence forth live vnto them selves but vnto hym whith died for them and rose agayne.

¹⁴ I a therfor not now ashamed though I bosted my sylfe to hym of you. For as all thynges which I preached vnto you are true even so is oure bostynge that I bosted my silfe to Titus wt all founde true.

⁸ And though I shuld bost my silfe somewhat moare of oure auctorite which the lorde hath geven vs to edifie and not to destroye you it shulde not be to my shame.

¹⁴ In so moche that many of the brethre in ye lorde are boldned thorow my bodes and dare more largely speake the worde with out feare.

²³ I am constrayned of two thinges: I desyre to be lowsed and to be with Christ which thinge is best of all. ²⁴ Neverthelesse to abyde in the flesshe is moare nedfull for you.

¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offerynge and sacrifice of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all.

²⁴ Now ioye I in my soferinges which I suffre for you and fulfill that which is behynde of the passions of Christ in my flesshe for his bodies sake which is the congregacion

¹⁶ Yf eny man suffre as a Christe man let him not be ashamed: but let him glorifie god on his behalfe.

¹² Wherfore I will not be necgligent to put you allwayes in remembraunce of soche thinges though that ye knowe them youre selves and be also stablisshed in the present trueth. ¹³ Notwithstodinge I thynke yt mete (as longe as I am in this tabernacle) to stere you vp by puttynge you in remebraunce ¹⁴ for as moch as I am sure howe that the tyme is at honde yt I must put of my tabernacle even as oure lorde Iesus Christ hath shewed me. ¹⁵ I will enfource therfore that on every syde ye myght have wherwith to stere vp the remembraunce of these thynges after my departynge.

²⁸ And nowe babes abyde in him that when he shall appere we maye be bolde and not be made a shamed of him at his commynge.

³⁵ Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs. ³⁸ Ye and I am sure that nether deeth nether lyfe nether angels nor rule nether power nether thinges present nether thinges to come ³⁹ nether heyth nether loweth nether eny other creature shalbe able to departe vs fro ye love of God shewed in Christ Iesu oure lorde.

³⁰ And vnto him partayne ye in Christ Iesu which of God is made vnto vs wysdome and also rightewesnes and saunctifyinge and redempcion.

²² whether it be Paul other Apollo other Cephas: whether it be ye worlde other lyfe other deeth whether they be present thinges or thinges to come: all are youres

¹ We knowe suerly yf oure erthy mancion wherin we now dwell were destroyed that we have a bildinge ordeyned of god an habitacion not made with hondes but eternall in heve.

⁶ Therfore we are alwaye of good chere and knowe well that as longe as we are at home in the body we are absent from God.

⁸ Neverthelesse we are of good comforte and had lever to be absent from the body and to be present with the lorde.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ. I live verely: yet now not I but Christ liveth in me. For ye lyfe which I now live in ye flesshe I live by the fayth of ye sonne of God which loved me and gave him selne for me.

¹⁴ God forbyd that I shuld reioyce but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ wherby the worlde is crucified as touchinge me and I as concerninge the worlde.

²⁰ as I hertely loke for and hope that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that with all confidence as all wayes in tymes past even so now Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorowe lyfe or els deeth.

²³ I am constrayned of two thinges: I desyre to be lowsed and to be with Christ which thinge is best of all.

²¹ For all other seke ytir awne and not that which is Iesus Christes

⁴ When Christ which is oure lyfe shall shewe him silfe then shall ye also appere with him in glory.

¹³ I wolde not brethren have you ignoraut concerninge them which are fallen aslepe that ye sorowe not as other do which have no hope. ¹⁴ For yf we beleve that Iesus dyed and rose agayne: even so them also which slepe by IeIesus will God brynge agayne with him. ¹⁵ And this saye we vnto you in the worde of the Lorde that we which live and are remayninge in the comminge of the Lorde shall not come yerre they which slepe.

¹³ And I herde a voyce from heven sayinge vnto me: wryte. Blessed are the deed which here after dye in the lorde even soo sayth the sprete: that they maye rest fro their laboures but their workes shall folowe them.

²⁶ And Abimelech answered I wyst not who dyd it: Also thou toldest me not nether herde I of it but this daye.

⁸ But he denyed and sayde to her: Beholde my master woteth not what he hath in the house with me but hath commytted all that he hath to my hande

¹ And when the people sawe that it was loge or Moses came doune out of the mountayne, they gathered them selues together ad came vnto Aaron and sayde vnto him: Vp ad make vs a god to goo before vs: for of this Moses the felowe that brought vs out of the londe off Egipte, we wote not what ys become.

¹⁷ And now brethre I wote well that thorow ignorauce ye did it as dyd also youre heddes.

² god hath not cast awaye his people which he knew before. Ether wote ye not what the scripture sayth by the mouth of Helias how he maketh intercession to god agaynst Israel sayinge:

³ Neverthelesse though we walke compased with ye fleshe yet we warre not flesshlye

²⁴ Neverthelesse to abyde in the flesshe is moare nedfull for you.

² that he hence forwarde shuld lyve as moche tyme as remayneth in the flesshe: not after ye lustes of men but after the will of God.

²⁹ Lorde Now lettest thou thy seruaut departe in peace accordinge to thy promes. ³⁰ For myne eyes have sene ye saveour sent fro ye

³⁸ Then the man out of whom the devyls were departed besought him yt he myght be wt him: But Iesus sent him awaye sayinge:

⁵⁰ Not with stondinge I must de baptised with a baptyme: and how am I payned till it be ended?

⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto him: Verely I saye vnto the to daye shalt thou be with me in Paradyse.

¹ Before the feast of ester whe Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved the.

³ And yf I go to prepare a place for you I will come agayne and receave you eve vnto my selfe yt where I am there maye ye be also.

²⁴ Father I will that they which thou hast geven me be with me where I am that they maye se my glory which thou hast geven me. For thou lovedest me before the makynge of the worlde.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.

¹ For ye youre selves knowe brethren of oure entraunce in vnto you howe that it was not in vayne:

¹³ For this cause thanke we god with out ceasynge because that when ye receaved of vs the worde wherwith God was preached ye receaved it not as the worde of man: but even as it was in dede the worde of God which worketh in you that beleve.

¹⁷ then shall we which live and remayne be caught vp with them also in the cloudes to mete the Lorde in ye ayer. And so shall we ever be with the Lorde.

⁶ For I am now redy to be offered and the tyme of my departynge is at honde.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: lorde thou wottest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam oute of gret tribulacion and made their garmetes large and made them whyte in the bloud of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God and serve him daye and nyght in hys temple and he that sytteth in the seate wyll dwell amonge them. ¹⁶ They shalt honger no more nether thyrst nether shall the sunne lyght on them nether eny heate: ¹⁷ For the lambe which ys in the myddes of the seate shall fede them and shall ledde them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water and god shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

⁷ Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you.

²⁹ For I am sure of this that after my departynge shall greveous wolves entre in amonge you which will not spare the flocke. ³⁰ Moreover of youre awne selves shall men aryse speakinge perverse thinges to drawe disciples after the. ³¹ Therfore awake and remember that by the space of .iii. yeares I ceased not to warne every one of you both nyght and daye with teares.

²² Yf it chaunce me to live in the flesshe that is to me frutefull forto worke and what to chose I wote not.

²⁵ And this am I sure of that I shall abyde and with you all continue for the furtheraunce and ioye of youre fayth ²⁶ that ye maye moare aboundantly reioyce in Iesus Christ thorowe me by my comminge to you agayne.

³² bnt I have prayed for the that thy faith fayle not. And when thou arte converted strengthe thy brethre.

¹⁵ When they had dyned Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Ioana lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde thou knowest that I love the. He sayde vnto him: fede my lambes. ¹⁶ He sayde to him agayne the seconde tyme: Simo Ioana lovest thou me? He sayde vnto him: ye lorde thou knowest that I love ye. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him ye thyrde tyme: Simon Ioanna lovest thou me? And Peter sorowed because he sayde to him ye thyrde tyme lovest thou me and sayde vnto him: Lorde thou knowest all thinge thou knowest that I love the. Iesus sayde vnto him: fede my shepe.

²³ Which when he was come and had sene the grace of God was glad and exhorted them all that with purpose of hert they wolde continually cleave vnto ye Lorde.

²² and strengthed the disciples soules exhortinge them to continue in the faith affyrminge yt we must thorowe moche tribulacion entre into the kyngdome of God.

²⁵ And now beholde I am sure yt hence forth ye all (thorow who I have gone preachinge ye kyngdome of God) shall se my face no moore.

¹¹ For I longe to see you that I myght bestowe amoge you some spirituall gyfte to strength you with all: ¹² that is that I myght have consolacion together with you through the commen fayth which bothe ye and I have.

² by who we have awaye in thorow fayth vnto this grace wherin we stonde aud reioyce in hope of the prayse that shalbe geven of God.

¹³ The God of hope fyll you with all ioye and peace in belevynge: that ye maye be ryche in hope thorowe the power of the holy goost.

¹⁸ For I dare not speake of eny of tho thinges which Christ hath not wrought by me to make the gentyls obedient with worde and dede

²⁹ And I am sure when I come that I shall come with aboundaunce of the blessinge of the gospell of Christ.

²⁴ Not that we be lordes over youre fayth: but helpers of youre ioye. For by fayth ye stode.

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles some prophetes some Evangelistes some Sheperdes some Teachers: ¹² yt the sainctes might have all thinges necessarie to worke and minister with all to the edifyinge of the body of christ ¹³ tyll we every one (in the vnitie of fayth and knowledge of the sonne of god) growe vp vnto a parfayte man after ye measure of age of the fulnes of Christ.

²⁴ I trust in the lorde I also my silfe shall come shortly.

⁸ who ye have not sene and yet love him in whom even now though ye se him not ye yet beleue and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious:

²² 22. And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no ma take fro you.

²⁴ 24. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

¹⁴ for we are youre reioysynge even as ye are oures in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

¹² We prayse not oure selves agayne vnto you but geve you an occasion to reioyce of vs that ye maye have some what agaynst the whych reioyce in the face and not in the hert.

⁶ Neverthelesse God that comfortith the abiecte comforted vs at the commynge of Titus.

¹⁶ holdinge fast the worde of lyfe vnto my reioysynge in ye daye of Christ that I have not runne in vayne nether have labored in vayne. ¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offerynge and sacrifice of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause also reioyce ye and reioyce ye with me.

¹ Morover my brethren reioyce in the lorde. It greveth me not to write one thinge often to you. For to you it is a sure thynge.

³ For we are circucision which worshippe god in the sprete and reioyce in Christ Iesu and have no confidence in the flesshe:

⁴ Reioyce in the Lorde alwaye and agayne I saye reioyce.

¹⁰ I reioyse in the lorde greatly that now at the last ye are revived agayne to care for me in yt wherein ye were also carefull but ye lacked oportunite.

²⁵ But Iesus knewe their thoughtes and sayde to the. Every kingdome devided wt in it sylfe shalbe brought to naught. Nether shall eny cite or housholde devyded agest it sylfe cotynue.

²⁰ I praye not for them alone: but for them also which shall beleve on me thorowe their preachynge ²¹ that they all maye be one as thou father arte in me and I in the that they maye be also one in vs that the worlde maye beleve that thou hast sent me.

⁴⁶ And they continued dayly with one acorde in the teple and brake breed in every housse and dyd eate their meate to gedder with gladnes and singlenes of hert

³² And the multitude of them that beleved were of one hert and of one soule. Also none of them sayde that eny of the thinges which he possessed was his awne: but had all thinges commen.

²⁴ And after a certayne dayes ca Felix and his wyfe Drusilla which was a Iewas and called forth Paul and hearde him of the fayth which is toward Christ.

⁵ by whom we have receaved grace and apostleshyppe to bringe all maner hethe people vnto obedience of the fayth that is in his name:

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle.

⁸ But what sayth the scripture? The worde is nye the even in thy mouth and in thyn herte. This worde is the worde of fayth which we preache.

⁴ As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office: ⁵ so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge

¹⁶ that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the gentyls and shuld minister the gladde tydynges of God that the gentyls myght be an acceptable offerynge sanctyfied by the holy goost.

¹⁰ I beseche you brethre in ye name of oure lorde Iesus Christ that ye all speake one thynge and that there be no dissencion amoge you: but be ye knyt together in one mynde and in one meaynge.

¹² For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ. ¹³ For in one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body whether we be Iewes or getyls whether we be bonde or fre: and have all dronke of one sprete. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member but many. ¹⁵ Yf the fote saye: I am not the honde therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of ye body: ¹⁶ And if ye eare saye I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge? ¹⁸ But now hath god disposed the membres every one of them in the body at his awne pleasure. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the body? ²⁰ Now are ther many membres yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you. ²² Ye rather a greate deale those mebres of the body which seme to be most feble are most necessary. ²³ And apo those mebres of yt body which we thinke lest honest put we most honestie on. And oure vngodly parties have most beauty on. ²⁴ For oure honest members nede it not. But God hath so disposed the body ad hath geven most honoure to that parte which laked ²⁵ lest there shuld be eny stryfe in the body: but that the members shuld indifferetly care one for another. ²⁶ And yf one member suffer all suffer with him: yf one member be had in honoure all members be glad also. ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ and members one of another. ²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacion fyrst the Apostels secodarely prophetes thyrdly teachers then the that do miracles: after that the gyftes of healynge helpers governers diversite of tonges. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles? ³⁰ Have all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake wt tonges? Do all interprete? ³¹ Covet after ye best giftes. Amd yet shewe I vnto you a moare excellent waye.

⁵⁸ Therfore my deare brethren be ye stedfast and unmovable alwayes ryche in the workes of the Lorde for as moch as ye knowe how yt youre labour is not in vayne in the Lorde.

¹³ Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge. ¹⁴ Let all youre busynes be done in love.

⁴ in whom ye god of this worlde hath blynded the myndes of them which beleve not lest the light of ye glorious gospell of Christ which is the ymage of god shuld shyne vnto them.

¹³ of many whiche prayse god for the obedience of youre professynge ye gospell of Christ and for youre synglenes in distributynge to them and to all me:

¹¹ Finallye brethren fare ye well be perfect be of good comforte be of one mynde lyve in peace and the God of love and peace shalbe with you.

⁷ which is nothinge els but that ther be some which trouble you and intende to pervert to gospell of Christ.

¹³ In whom also ye (after that ye hearde the worde of trueth I meane the gospell of youre saluacio wherin ye beleved) were sealed with the holy sprete of promes

³ and that ye be dyliget to kepe ye vnitie of ye sprete in the bonde of peace ⁴ beynge one body and one sprete eve as ye are called in one hope of youre callynge. ⁵ Let ther be but one lorde one fayth one baptim: ⁶ one god and father of all which is above all thorow all and in you all.

¹ If ther be amoge you eny consolacion in Christ yf ther be eny cofortable love yf there be eny fellishippe of the sprete yf ther be eny copassion or mercy: ² fulfyll my ioye that ye drawe one waye havinge one love beynge of one accorde and of one mynde

¹⁸ For many walke (of whom I have tolde you often and now tell you wepynge) that they are ye enemyes of ye crosse of Christ

⁴ sence we hearde of youre faith which ye have in Christ Iesu and of the love which ye beare to all sayntes

¹¹ as ye knowe how that we exhorted and comforted and besought every one of you as a father his childre ¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.

⁶ But now lately whe Timotheus came fro you vnto vs and declared to vs youre fayth and youre love and how that ye have good remembraunce of vs all wayes desyringe to se vs as we desyre to se you.

¹¹ accordinge to the gospell of the glory of the blessed God which gospell is committed vnto me.

¹⁹ havinge fayth and good consciece which some have put awaye fro them and as cocerninge fayth have made shipwracke.

⁷ I have fought a good fight and have fulfilled my course and have kept the fayth.

¹⁰ nether be pickers but that they shewe all good faythfulnes that they maye do worshippe to ye doctryne of oure saveoure God in all thynges.

⁵ when I heare of thy love and fayth which thou hast towarde the Lorde Iesu and towarde all saynctes:

¹⁸ yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

⁴ by the meanes whereof are geven vnto vs excellent and moste greate promises that by the helpe of them ye shuld be partakers of the godly nature in that ye flye the corrupcion of worldy lust. ⁵ And hervnto geve all diligence: in youre fayth minister vertve and in vertue knowledge ⁶ and in knowledge temperancy and in temrancy pacience in pacience godlynes ⁷ in godlynes brotherly kyndnes in brotherly kyndnes love. ⁸ For yf these thinges be amonge you and are plenteous they wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure lorde Iesus Christ. ⁹ But he yt lacketh these thynges is blynde and gropeth for ye waye with his honde and hath forgotten yt he was pourged from his olde synnes.

¹¹ Yf all these thinges shall perisshe what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conversacion and godlynes:

¹⁴ Wherfore derly beloved seynge yt ye loke for soche thynges be diliget that ye maye be founde of him in peace wt out spotte and vndefiled

³ I reioysed greatly when the brethren came and testified of the trueth that is in the how thou walkest in trouthe. ⁴ I have no greater ioye then for to heare howe that my sonnes walke in veritie.

³ Beloved when I gave all diligence to write vnto you of the commen saluacion: it was nedfull for me to wryte vnto you to exhorte you that ye shuld continually laboure in the fayth which was once geve vnto the sayntes

¹⁸ After thy sauynge loke I LORde.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucio for rightwesnes sake: for theirs ys the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you and persecute you and shall falsly say all manner of yvell saynges agaynst you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. + For so persecuted they ye Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²⁸ Are not two sparowes solde for a farthinge? And none of them dothe lyght on the grounde with out youre father.

⁶ and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.

⁴ I saye vnto you my fredes: Be not afrayde of them that kyll the body and after that have no moare that they can do.

¹² But before all these they shall laye their hondes on you and persecute you delyueringe you vp to the sinagoges and into preson and bringe you before kynges and rulers for my names sake. ¹³ And this shall chaunce you for a testimoniall. ¹⁴ Let it sticke therfore faste in youre hertes not once to stody before what ye shall answere: ¹⁵ for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist. ¹⁶ Ye and ye shalbe betrayed of youre fathers and mothers and of youre brethren and kynsmen and lovers aud some of you shall they put to deeth. ¹⁷ And hated shall ye be of all men for my names sake. ¹⁸ Yet ther shall not one heer of youre heedes perisshe. ¹⁹ With youre pacience possesse youre soules.

¹⁹ But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them and sayde: whether it be right in the syght of God to obeye you moare then God iudge ye. ²⁰ For we canot but speake that which we have sene and hearde. ²¹ So threatened they them and let them goo and founde no thinge how to punysshe them because of the people. For all me lauded God for the myracle which was done: ²² for the man was above fourty yeare olde on whom this myracle of healinge was shewed.

⁴⁰ And to him they agreed and called the Apostles and bet them and comaunded that they shuld not speake in ye name of Iesu and let them goo. ⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre rebuke for his name.

²⁸ Be it knowen therfore vnto you that this salvacion of God is sent to the gentyls and they shall heare it.

¹⁷ Yf we be sonnes we are also heyres the heyres I meane of God and heyres anexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer togedder that we maye be glorified to gedder.

⁵ which is a token of ye ryghtewes iudgemet of god that ye are counted worthy of the kyngdom of god for which ye also suffre. ⁶ It is verely a rightewes thinge with God to recopence tribulacion to them that trouble you: ⁷ For god hath not geven to vs the sprete of feare: but of power and of love and of sobrenes of mynde. ⁸ Be not a shamed to testyfye oure lorde nether be a shamed of me which am bounde for his sake: but suffre adversite with ye gospell also thorow ye power of god

¹¹ It is a true sayinge if we be deed wt him we also shall live with him. ¹² Yf we be pacient we shall also raigne wt him. If we denye him he also shall denye vs.

⁶ that we maye boldly saye: the lorde is my helper and I will not feare what man doeth vnto me.

¹² Dearly beloved be not troubled in this heate which now is come amoge you to trye you as though some strauge thinge had happened vnto you: ¹³ but reioyce in as moche as ye are partetakers of Christes passions that when his glory appereth ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ happie are ye. For the sprete of glory and the sprete of god resteth apon you. On their parte he is evyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorified.

¹⁰ Feare none of thoo thynges which thou shalt soffre. Beholde the devyll shall caste of you into preson to tempte you and ye shall have tribulacion .x. dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth and I will geve the a croune of lyfe.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered and sayde to him: happy arte thou Simon the sonne of Ionas for fleshe and bloud hath not opened vnto the yt but my father which is in heve.

¹² But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name: ¹³ which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me drawe him. And I will rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophetes yt they shall all be taught of God. Every man therfore that hath hearde and hath learned of the father commeth vnto me.

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre rebuke for his name.

³⁹ and yt by him are all yt beleve iustified fro all thinges fro the which ye coulde not be iustified by ye lawe of Moses.

²⁷ When they were come and had gaddered the congregacion to gedder they rehersed all that God had done by them and how he had opened the dore of faith vnto the getyls.

³ Nether do we so only: but also we reioyce in tribulacion. For we know that tribulacion bringeth pacience

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorowe fayth and that not of youre selves. For it is the gyfte of God

² My brethren count it excedynge ioye when ye faule into divers teptacions

³³ 33These wordes have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde.

³⁵ Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs.

⁹ Me thinketh that God hath set forth vs which are Apostles for the lowest of all as it were me appoynted to deeth. For we are a gasyngestocke vnto the worlde and to ye angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are foles for Christes sake and ye are wyse thorow Christ. We are weake and ye are stroge. Ye are honorable and we are despised. ¹¹ Eve vnto this daye we honger and thyrst and are naked and are boffetted wt fistes and have no certayne dwellinge place ¹² and laboure workinge with oure awne hondes. We are revysed and yet we blesse. We are persecuted and suffer it. ¹³ We are evyll spoken of and we praye. We are made as it were the filthynes of the worlde the ofscowringe of all thinges even vnto this tyme. ¹⁴ I write not these thinges to shame you: but as my beloved sonnes I warne you.

³⁰ Ye and why stonde we in ieoperdy every houre? ³¹ By oure reioysinge which I have in Christ Iesu oure Lorde I dye dayly. ³² That I have fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men what avautageth it me yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let vs eate and drynke to morowe we shall dye.

¹¹ Put on ye armour of God that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst ye crafty assautes of the devyll. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst flesshe and bloud: but agaynst rule agaynst power and agaynst worldy rulars of ye darckenes of this worlde agaynst spretuall wickednes for hevenly thinges. ¹³ For this cause take vnto you the armoure of God yt ye maye be able to resist in the evyll daye and to stonde perfect in all thinges. ¹⁴ Stonde therfore and youre loynes gyrd aboute with veritie havinge on the brest plate of rightewesnes ¹⁵ and shood with showes prepared by the gospell of peace. ¹⁶ Above all take to you the shelde of fayth wherwith ye maye quenche all ye fyrie dartes of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvacio and the swearde of the sprete which is the worde of God. ¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes

²⁹ Wherin I also laboure and stryve even as farforth as hys workynge worketh in me myghtely.

¹⁴ For ye brethre became folowers of the congregacions of god which in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye have suffered lyke thynges of youre kynsmen as we oure selves have suffered of the Iewes. ¹⁵ Which as they kylled the lorde Iesus and their awne prophetes even so have they persecuted vs and God they please not and are contrary to all men

² and sent Timotheus oure brother and minister of god and oure laboure felowe in the gospell of Christ to stablysshe you and to coforte you over youre fayth ³ yt no ma shulde be moved in these affliccios. For ye youre selves knowe that we are even apoynted therevnto. ⁴ For verely when I was with you I tolde you before that we shulde suffre tribulacion even as it came to passe and as ye knowe.

¹² Fyght ye good fyght of fayth. Laye honde on eternall lyfe where vnto thou arte called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

¹⁰ Herefore I suffre all thinges for ye electes sakes that they myght also obtayne that saluacion which is in Christ Iesu with eternall glory.

³² Call to remebraunce the dayes that are passed in the which after ye had receaved light ye endured a greate fyght in adversities ³³ partly whill all men wondred and gased at you for the shame and trioulacion that was done vnto you and partly whill ye became companyons of the which so passed their tyme.

⁴ For ye have not yet resisted vnto bloud sheddinge stryvinge agaynst synne.

¹⁰ Feare none of thoo thynges which thou shalt soffre. Beholde the devyll shall caste of you into preson to tempte you and ye shall have tribulacion .x. dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth and I will geve the a croune of lyfe. ¹¹ Let him that hath ears heare what the sprete sayth to the congregacions: He that overcometh shall not be hurte of the seconde deeth.

¹¹ And I harde a lowde voyce sayinge: in heve is nowe made salvacio and strengthe and ye kyngdome of oure God and the power of his Christ For he is cast doune which accused them before god daye and nyght.
