For it is shame euen to name those thinges, which are done of them in secrete.

But all thinges are manifest, whan they are rebuked of the lighte. For what so euer is manifest, that same is lighte.

and redeme the tyme, for it is a miserable tyme.

geuynge thankes alwayes for all thinges vnto God the father, in the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,

For the hussbande is the wyues heade, eue as Christ also is the heade of the congregacion, and he is the Sauioure of his body.

Ye hussbandes loue youre wyues, euen as Christ loued the congregacion, and gaue himselfe for it,

For no ma euer yet hated his awne flesshe, but norisheth and cherissheth it, euen as the LORDE doth also the congregacion.

For we are membres of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

For this cause shal a man leaue father and mother, and cleue vnto his wife, and they two shal be one flesh:

Ye children, obey youre elders in the LORDE, for that is righte.

For we wrestle not agaynst flesh and bloude, but agaynst rule, agaynst power namely, agaynst the rulers of the worlde, of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst ye spretes of wickednes vnder the heauen.

For this cause take ye the armoure of God, yt ye maye be able to resiste in the euell daye, and stonde perfecte in all thinges.

And praye allwayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacion in the sprete, and watch there vnto with all instaunce and supplicacion for all sayntes

and for me, that the worde maye be geuen me, that I maye open my mouth boldly, to vtter the secretes of the Gospell,

whom I haue sent vnto you for the same cause, that ye mighte knowe what case I stonde in, and that he mighte comforte youre hertes.

(which I allwayes do in all my prayers for you all, and praye with gladnesse)

For God is my recorde, how I loge after you all euen fro the very hert rote in Iesus Christ.

And for the same I praye, yt yor loue maye increace more & more in all maner of knowlege and in all experience,

The other parte of loue, for they knowe that I lye here for the defence of the Gospell.

For I knowe that the same shal chaunce to my saluacion, thorow youre prayer and mynistrynge of the sprete of Iesu Christ,
