Not that wee haue dominion ouer your faith, but wee are helpers of your ioy: for by faith yee stande.

For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me?

For in great affliction, & anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you.
