¶ The .xiii. Chapter.

LEt brotherly love continue. Be not for∣getfull* 1.1 to lodge straungers. For therby have dyvers receaved angels into their houses vnwares. Remember them that are in bondes / even as though ye were bounde with them. Be myndfull of them which are in ad∣versitie / as ye which are yet in youre bodies. Let wedlocke be had in pryce in all poyntes / and let the chamber be vndefiled: for whore kepers and advoutrars god will iudge. Let youre conversacion be with out coveteousnes and be contēt with that ye have all redy. For* 1.2 he verely sayd: I will not fayle the / nether for sake the: that we maye boldly saye: the lorde is my helper / and I will not feare what man doeth vnto me. Remember them which have the oversight of you / which have declared vn¦to [ B] you the worde of god. The ende of whose conversacion se that ye looke vpon / and folo∣we their fayth.

Iesus Christ yesterdaye and to daye / & the same continueth for ever. Be not caryed abou¦te with divers and straunge learnynge. For it is a good thynge that the herte be stablisshed with grace / and not with meates / which have not proffeted them that have had their pasty¦me

in them. We have an altre wherof they maye not eate which serve in the tabernacle. [ C] For y^e bodies of those beastes whose bloud is brought into the holy place by the hie prest to* 1.3 pourge sinne / are burnt with out the tentes. Therfore Iesus / to sanctifye the people with his awne bloud / suffered with out the gate. Let vs goo forth therfore out of the tentes / &* 1.4 suffer rebuke with him. For here have we no continuynge citie: but we seke one to come.

For by him offer we the sacrifice of laude all wayes to god: that is to saye / the frute of those lyppes / which confesse his name. To do good / and to distribute forget not / for with su∣che sacrifises god is pleased. Obeye thē that have the oversight of you / and submit youre selves to them / for they watch for youre sou∣les / even as they that must geve a comptes: that they maye do it with ioye / and not with grefe. For that is an vnproffitable thynge for you. Praye for vs. We have confidence becau¦se we have a good conscience in all thynges / & desyre to live honestly. I desire you therfore somwhat the moare aboundantly / that ye so do / that I maye be restored to you quyckly.

The god of peace that brought agayne frō [ D] deth oure lorde Iesus / the gret shepperde of the shepe / thorowe the bloud of the everlastyn ge testamēt / make you parfect in all good wor¦kes / to do his will / workynge in you y^• which is pleasaūt in his syght thorow Iesus christ To whom be prayse for ever whill the worlde endureth Amen. ⊢

I beseche you brethren / suffre the wordes of exhortaciō: For we have written vnto you in feawe wordes: knowe the brother Timo∣the / whom we have sent frō vs / with whom (yf he come shortly) I will se you. Salute thē that have the oversight of you / & all the saync tes. They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all.

Amen.
