¶ Therfore my brethren (dearly beloued and longed for) my ioye and crowne, so con∣tinue in the Lorde ye beloued. I praye Euodias, and beseche Sintiches, that they be of ••ne accorde in the Lorde. Yee and I beseche the faythfull rockefelowe, helpe the wemen whiche laboured with me in the ghospell, and with Clement also, and with other my la∣bourfelowes, whose names are in the boke of lyfe.
INasmuche therfore as you are established with the hope of such great hyghe matters, my dearly beloued brethren and longed for, whose good successe I repute to be myne owne ioye, whose victorye, I take to be my crowne: lyke as you haue begonne, see y• you so continue, & suffre not your selues to be drawē away frō Iesus Christ. Moreouer, my welbeloued brethren, I eftesones beseche Euodias, and I desire Sintiches and eyther of them by them selues, that they agree in one true concorde of myndes in promotynge the gospell of Christe. And I also require the, myne owne true naturall wyfe, whiche agreist with me in the trauayle of the gospel, helpe these women that were partetakers of my labours and daungers in the gospel, and Clement also, with the rest, that wet my labourfelowes in y• gospell. Whose names, what nedeth me to rehearse, inasmuche as they are wrytten in the boke of lyfe and shall neuer be scraped out. In that boke are the names of all them wrytten, that with their dilygences helpe forewarde the businesse of the gospell, of whose nombre you are also.
