Unto the messenger of the congregation1 of Ephesus write: These things §Asaith he that holdeth the vii. stars in his right hand / and walketh in the midst of the vii. golden candlesticks. I know thy works / and thy labour / and thy patience / & how thou cannest not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are Apostles / & are not: and hast found them liars and diddest wash thy self. And hast patience: and for my names sake hast laboured and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee / for thou haste left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen / and repent / and do the §Bfirst works. Or else I will come unto the shortly / and will remove thy candlestick out of his place / except thou repent. But this thou hast because thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans / which deeds I also hate. Let him that hath▪ ears hear / what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcome meth / will I give to eat of the tree of life / which is in the midst of the paradise of god.
