¶ The Prologe to the epistle of S. Paul vnto Philemon.
IN this pistle S. Paul showeth y• a godly en sample of Christen love. Herein we see how Paul taketh poor Onesimos unto him & maketh intercession for him unto his master & helpetly him with all that he may / and behaveth him self none other wise then as though he him self were the said Onesimos. Which thing yet he doth not with power and authority / as he well might have done: but putteth of all authority & whatsoever ever he might of right do / that Philemon might do likewise toward Onesimos / and with great meekness and wisdom teacheth Philemon to see his duty in Christ Jesus.
