VERSE 12. Wherefore J will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, to be established in the present truth.
VERSE 12. Wherefore J will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though you know them, to bee established in the present truth.
I Acknowledge to your comfort, that you know and perform in some measure these commended duties; and have made a good progress in them. Yet though you be confirmed, I will not so give you over, and leave you to your selves; for there is danger of relapsing, but will diligently solicit your memories, and incite your affections, to a more zealous observation of them. I do not confirm you, as if you were wavering; but only admonish you, as being established in the truth. The gravity and weight of the business requires it: in a matter of such consequence, admonitions are never superfluous. Abundans cautela non nocet; Therefore let it not seem tedious unto you.

Yet though you be confirmed, I will not so give you over, and leave you to your selves; for there is danger of relapsing, but will diligently solicite your memories, and incite your affections, to a more zealous observation of them. I doe not confirme you, as if you were wavering; but only admonish you, as being established in the truth. The gravitie and weight of the businesse requires it: in a matter of such consequence, admonitions are never superfluous. Abundans cautela non nocet; Therefore let it not seeme tedious unto you.
