For all thinges do I for youre sakes that the plenteous grace by thankes geve of many maye redounde to the prayse of god.

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.

He that hath ordeyned vs for this thynge ys god which very same hath geven vnto vs the ernest of the sprete.

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.

Seynge then that we knowe how the lorde is to be feared we fare fayre with men. For we are knowen wel ynough vnto God. I trust also that we are knowen in youre consciences.

For yf we be to fervent to God are we to fervent. Yf we kepe measure for youre cause kepe we measure.

Neverthelesse all thinges are of god which hath reconciled vs vnto him sylfe by Iesus Christ and hath geven vnto vs the office to preach the atonement.

For god was in Christ and made agrement bitwene the worlde and hym sylfe and imputed not their synnes vnto them: and hath comitted to vs the preachynge of ye atonmet.

Now then are we messengers in the roume of Christ: even as though God did beseche you thorow vs: So praye we you in Christes stede that ye be atone with God:

for he hath made him to be synne for vs which knewe no synne that we by his meanes shuld be that rightewesnes which before God is aloved.

We as helpers therfore exhorte you yt ye receave not the grace of god in (vayne)

but in all thynges let vs behave oure selves as the ministers of God. In moche pacience in afflicios in necessite in anguysshe

in ye wordes of trueth in the power of God by ye armoure of rightewesnes on ye right honde and on the lyfte

how agreeth the temple of god wt ymages? And ye are the temple of yt lyuynge god as sayde god. I will dwell amonge the and walke amoge the and wilbe their god: and they shalbe my people.

Seynge that we have soche promeses derely beloved let vs clense oure selves from all fylthynes of the flesshe and sprete and growe vp to full holynes in ye feare of God.

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

Wherfore though I wrote vnto you I did it not for his cause that did hurte nether for his cause that was hurte: but that oure good mynde whych we have towarde you in the sight of god myght appere vnto you.

I do you to wit brethren of the grace of god which is geven in the congregacions of Macedonia

And this they did not as we loked for: but gave their awne selves fyrst to the lorde and after vnto vs by the will of God:

Thankes be vnto god which put in ye hert of Titus the same good mynde toward you.
