1We as helpers therfore exhorte you that ye receave not the grace of god in (vayne)

2For he saith: I have hearde the in a tyme accepted: and in the daye of saluacion have I suckered the. Beholde now is that well accepted tyme: beholde now is that daye of saluacion.

3Let vs geve no man occasion of evyll that in oure office be founde no faute:

4but in all thynges let vs behave oure selves as the ministers of God. In moche pacience in affliccions in necessite in anguysshe

5in strypes in presonmet in stryfe in laboure in watchinge in fastyng

6in purenes in knowledge in longe sufferynge in kyndnes in the holy goost in love vnfayned

7in the wordes of trueth in the power of God by the armoure of rightewesnes on the right honde and on the lyfte

8in honoure and dishonoure in evyll reporte and good reporte as desceauers and yet true

9as unknowen and yet knowen: as dyinge and beholde we yet live: as chastened and not killed:

10as sorowynge and yet alwaye mery: as poore and yet make many ryche: as havynge nothynge and yet possessynge all thynges.

11O ye Corinthyans oure mouth is open vnto you. Oure herte is made large:

12ye are in no strayte in vs but are in a strayte in youre awne bowelles:

13I promyse you lyke rewarde with me as to my childre. Set youreselues therfore at large

14and beare not a straugers yoke wyth the vnbelevers. For what fellishippe hath rightewesnes with vnrightewesnes? What company hath light with darcknes?

15What concorde hath Christ with beliall? Ether what parte hath he that beleveth with an infidele?

16how agreeth the temple of god with ymages? And ye are the temple of that lyuynge god as sayde god. I will dwell amonge the and walke amonge the and wilbe their god: and they shalbe my people.

17Wherfore come out from amonge the and separate youreselues (sayth the lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receave you

18and wilbe a father vnto you and ye shalbe vnto me sonnes and doughters sayth the lorde almyghty.
