The texte.

Of my state I wryte not vnto you, but of that shal Tichicus, the bearer of these letters, certifie you, through one cōmen profession, my well belo∣ued brother, faithfull minister, & felowe seruaunt in preaching the gospel, whome I for this purpose sente thither, both to the intent that by hym ye shoulde knowe, what is here done among vs, and by hym to be certified, howe ye doe, that youre myndes maye through his communicacion be re∣freshed, and myne also by his good reporte made of you. And with Tychi∣chus haue I lent Onesimus, whome I would ye shoulde not esteme and iudge by his olde kynde of lyfe, synce he is nowe my faythful, and beloued brother, whome for this cause ye oughte to make the more of, because he is a Gentile as ye be, and of an vncircumcised one, tourned to Christe. These two shall to you make faythfull reporte, of suche thinges as are here done among vs, as ferre as is expedient for you to knowe.
