¶ The .ii. Chapter.
For ye your selves know brethren of our entrance in unto you / how that §Ait was not in vain: but even after that we had suffered before and were shamefully entreated at Philippi (as ye well know) then were we bold in our God to speak ⟨image 316⟩unto you the gospel of God / with much striving. Dure exhortation was not to bring you to error / nor yet to uncleanness / nether was it with guile: but as we were allowed of God / that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak / not as though we intended to please men / but God / which trieth our hearts.
FOr ye youre selves knowe brethren of oure entraunce in vnto you / howe that §Ait was not in vayne: but even after that we had suffered before and were shamfully entreated at Phillippos (as ye well knowe) then were we bolde in oure God to speake ⟨image 316⟩vnto you the gospell of God / with moche strivynge. Dure exhortacion was not to brynge you to erroure / nor yet to vnclennes / nether was it with gyle: but as we were alowed of God / that the gospell shuld be cōmitted vnto vs: even so we speake / not as though we entended to please men / but God / which trieth oure hertes.
Nether was our conversation at any time with flattering words / as ye well know nether in cloaked covetousness / God is record: nether sought we praise of men / nether of you / nor yet of any other / when we might have been chargeable / as the apostles of Christ but we were tender among you / even as a nurse cherisheth her children / so was our affection toward you / our good will was to have dealt unto you / not the gospel of God only: but also our own souls / because ye were dear unto us.
