I thanke god whom I serve from myne elders with pure consciece that with out ceasynge I make mencion of the in my prayres nyght and daye

Wherfore I warne the that thou stere vp the gyfte of god which is in the by the puttynge on of my hondes.

For god hath not geven to vs the sprete of feare: but of power and of love and of sobrenes of mynde.

Be not a shamed to testyfye oure lorde nether be a shamed of me which am bounde for his sake: but suffre adversite with ye gospell also thorow ye power of god

wherin I suffre trouble as an evyll doar even vnto bondes. But the worde of god was not bounde.

Study to shewe thy silfe laudable vnto god a workman yt nedeth not to be a shamed dividynge the worde of trueth iustly

But the sure grounde of god remayneth and hath this seale: the lorde knoweth them that are his and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ departe from iniquite.

the evyll in meknes and can informe them that resist yf that god at eny tyme will geve them repentauce for to knowe the trueth:

traytours heddy hye mynded gredy apon volupteousnes more then the lovers of god

For all scripture geve by inspiracion of god is proffitable to teache to improve to amende and to instruct in rightewesnes

yt ye man of god maye be perfect and prepared vnto all good workes.

I testifie therfore before god and before the lorde Iesu Christ which shall iudge quicke and deed at his aperynge in his kyngdom

At my fyrst answerynge no man assissted me but all forsoke me. I praye God that it maye not be layde to their charges:

Paul the seruaunt of God and an Apostle of Iesu Christ to preache the fayth of goddis electe and ye knowledge of that trueth which is after godlynes

vpon the hope of eternall lyfe which lyfe God that cannot lye hath promised before the worlde begane:

but hath opened his worde at ye tyme apoynted thorow preachynge which preachynge is committed vnto me by the commaundement of god oure saveoure.

To Titus his naturall sonne in the commen fayth.Grace mercie and peace from God the father and from the lord Iesu Christ oure saveoure.

For a bisshoppe must be fautelesse as it be commeth the minister of God: not stubborne not angrye no dronkarde no fyghter not geven to filthy lucre:

They confesse that they knowe god: but with the dedes they denye hym and are abhominable and disobedient and vnto all good workes discommendable.

to be discrete chast huswyfly good and obediet vnto their awne husbandes that the worde of god be not evyll spoken of.
