So that my bonds in Christ are manifest through out all the judgement hall and in all other places: In so much that many of the brethren in y• lord are boldned through my bonds / and dare more largely speak the word with out fear. Some there are which preach Christ of envy & strife / and some of good will. The one part preacheth ⟨p. cclxxxvi⟩Christ of strife & not purely / supposing to add more adversity to my bonds. The other part of love / because they see that I am set to defend the gospel.
