¶ The .iiii. Chapter.

I Testifie therfore before god / and before the lorde Iesu Christ / which shall iud∣ge [ A] quicke and deed at his aperynge in his kyngdom / preache the worde / be fervent / be

it in season or out of season. Improve / rebuke / exhorte with all longe sufferinge & doctryne. For the tyme will come / when they wyll not* 1.1 suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their aw∣ne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett thē an heepe of teachers / & shall turne their ea¦res [ B] from y^• trueth / & shalbe geven vnto fables. But watch thou in all thynges / and suffre ad¦versitie / and do the worke of an evangelist / fulfill thyne office vnto the vtmost.

For I am now redy to be offered / and the tyme of my departynge is at honde. I have fought a good fight / and have fulfilled my course / and have kept the fayth. From hence forth is layde vp for me a croune of rightewes¦nes which the lord ••that is a righteous iudge shall geve me at that daye: not to me only but vnto all them that love his commynge. Ma∣ke spede to come vnto me atonce.

For Demas hath left me & hath loved this [ C] present worlde / & is departed into Tessaloni∣ca.* 1.2 Crescens is gone to Galacia / & Titus vn∣to Dalmacea. Only Lucas is with me. Take* 1.3 Marke & bringe him with the / for he is neces¦sary vnto me for to minister. And Tichicus ha¦ve I sent to Ephesus. The cloke that I lefte at Troada with Carpus / whē thou commest / brynge with the / and the bokes / but specially the partchemēt. Alexander the coppersmyth did me moche evyll / the lorde rewarde him ac∣cordynge to his dedes / of whom be thou ware also. For he withstode oure preachynge fore.

At my fyrst answerynge / no man assissted

me / but all forsoke me. I praye God / that it maye not be layde to their charges: ✚ not withstondinge the Lorde assisted me / & strēg∣thed me / that by me the preachinge shuld be fulfilled to the vtmost / and that all the gen∣tyls shuld heare. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lyon. And the Lorde shall delivre me from all evyll doynge / and shall ke¦pe me vnto his hevenly kyngdome. To whō be prayse for ever and ever. Amen. ⊢

Salute Prisca and Aquila / & the housholde of Onesiphorus. Erastus abode at Corinthū. Trophimos I lefte at Miletum sicke. Make spede to come before winter. Eubolus gretith the / and Pudes / and Linus / and Claudia / and all the brethren. The Lorde Iesus Christ be with thy sprete. Grace be with you.

Amen.
