Beloved / when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation: it was needful for me to write unto you / to exhort you / that ye should continually labour in the faith which was once given unto the saints ⟨image 374⟩For there are certain craftily crept in / of which it was written afore time unto such judgement. They are ungodly & turn the grace of our God unto wantonness / & deny God the only Lord / and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Beloved / when I gave all diligence to write vnto you of the commen saluacion: it was nedfull for me to wryte vnto you / to exhorte you / that ye shuld continually laboure in the fayth which was once gevē vnto the sayntes ⟨image 374⟩For ther are certayne craftely crept in / of which it was writē afore tyme vnto soche iudgemēt. They are vngodly & turne the grace of oure God vnto wantannes / & denye God the only Lorde / and oure Lorde Iesus Christ.
My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance / for as much as ye once know this / how that the Lord (after that he had delivered1 the people out of Egypt) destroyed them which afterward believed not. The angels also which kept not their first estate: but left their own habitation / he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto y• 2judgement of the great day: even as Sodom & Gomor / & the cities about them (which in like manner defiled them selves with fornication and followed *str•unge flesh) are set forth for an ensample / and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise these dreamers defileth flesh / despise rulers and speak evil of them that are in authority.
