The Apostles / elders & brethren send greetings unto the brethren which are of the gentiles §Ein Antioch / Syria & Cilicia. For as much as we have heard that certain which departed from us / have troubled you with word / & cumbered your minds saying: Ye must be circumcised & keep the law / to whom we gave no such commandment. It seemed therefore to us a good thing / when we were come to gather with one accord / to send chosen men unto you / with our beloved Barnabas and Paul / men that have jeoparded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas / which shall also tell you the same thing by mouth. ⟨p. Clxxxi⟩For it seemed good to the holy ghost and to us / to put no grievous thing to you more then these necessary things: that is to say / that ye abstain from things offered to images / from blood / from strangled and fornication. From which if ye keep your selves / ye shall do well. So fare ye well.

It semed therfore to vs a good thinge / when we were come to gedder with one accorde / to sende chosyn men vnto you / with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul / men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ. We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas / which shall also tell you the same thinge by mouth.
