And the Lord guide your hearts to the loue of God, and the waiting for of Christ.

For ye your selues know, how ye ought to follow vs: for we behaued not our selues inordinately among you,

Neither tooke we bread of any man for nought: but we wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you.

For euen when we were with you, this we warned you of, that if there were any, which would not worke, that he should not eate.

For we heare, that there are some which walke among you inordinately, and worke not at all, but are busie bodies.

For the end of the commaundement is loue out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith vnfained.

Therefore I thanke him, which hath made me strong, that is, Christ Iesus our Lord: for he counted me faithfull, and put me in his seruice:

When before I was a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and an oppresser: but I was receiued to mercie: for I did it ignorantly through vnbeliefe.

Notwithstanding, for this cause was I receiued to mercie, that Iesus Christ should first shewe on me all long suffering vnto the ensample of them, which shall in time to come beleeue in him vnto eternall life.

Nowe vnto the King euerlasting, immortall, inuisible, vnto God onely wise, be honour and glorie, for euer, and euer, Amen.

I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men,

For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godlinesse and honestie.

For this is good & acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,

For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,

Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all men, to be that testimonie in due time,

For Adam was first formed, then Eue.

For if any cannot rule his owne house, how shall he care for the Church of God?

For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus.

For euery creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing.

For it is sanctified by the worde of God, and prayer.
