So then vnto God kynge euerlastinge, immortall and invisible, and wyse onely, be honoure and prayse for euer and euer Amen.

I exhorte therfore, yt aboue all thinges, prayers, supplicacions, intercessions and geuynge of thakes be had for all men

for kynges, and for all that are in auctorite, that we maye lyue a quyete & peaceable life in all godlynes and honestie.

For that is good and accepted in ye sighte of God oure Sauioure,

For there is one God, and one mediatour betwene God and men, (namely) the man Christ Iesus,

which gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that at his tyme it shulde be preached,

I suffre not a woma to teach ner to haue auctorite ouer the man, but for to be in sylence.

For Adam was first formed, and the Eue:

(But yf a man can not rule his owne house, how shal he care for the congregacion of God?)

For they that mynister well, get them selues a good degree and greate libertye in the faith which is in Christ Iesu.

For euery creature off God is good, and nothinge to be refused, yt is receaued with thankesgeuynge:

for it is sanctifyed by the worde of God and prayer.

As for vngoostly and olde wyuesh fables, cast them awaye, but exercyse thy selfe vnto godlynes.

For bodely exercyse profyteth litle, but godlynes is profytable vnto all thinges, as a thinge which hath promyses of the life that is now, and of the life for to come.

For therfore we laboure and suffre rebuke, because we hope in the lyuynge God, which is the Sauioure of all men, but specially of those that beleue.

Take hede vnto thy selfe, and to learnynge, cotynue in these thinges. For yf thou so do, thou shalt saue thy selfe, and them that heare the.

Yf eny wedowe haue children or neves, let them lerne first to rule their awne houses godly, and to recompence their elders. For yt is good & acceptable before God.

But yf there be eny man that prouydeth not for his awne, and specially for them of his houssholde, the same hath denyed the faith, and is worse then an infydele.

But ye yonger wedowes refuse. For whan they haue begonne to waxe wanton agaynst Christ, then wil they mary,

For some are turned back allready after Satha.
