Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are, ye haue not iniured me at all.

Ye know how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached the Gospel vnto you at the first.

And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor reiected, but receiued mee as an Angel of God, euen as Christ Iesus.

Where is then the blessednes you spake of? for I beare you record, that if it had bin possible, ye would haue plucked out your own eyes, and haue giuen them to me.

Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth?

They zelously affect you, but not well: yea, they would exclude you, that you might affect them.

But it is good to bee zealously affected alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you.

My litle children, of whom I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ bee formed in you:

I desire to bee present with you now, and to change my voyce, for I stand in doubt of you.
