AND unto the Angel of the congregation, which is in Laodicea write: This saith Amen the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creatures of God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. So then because thou art between both, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth: Because thou sayest: I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing: And knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, poor, blind and naked.

The seventh and last Epistle of our Saviour Christ,1 is written by the hand of S. John, to the Bishop of Laodicea. The same is a great reproach of that people, in nothing commendable: And nevertheless a faithful admonition or exhortation to repentance. And after his accustomed manner, he signifieth to whom he writeth, and from whom the Epistle proceedeth. The Epistle is indited of Christ to the Bishop of Laodicea, and to the whole congregation. Therefore some thing is to be said of the Laodiceans, whereby the rest may the better be understand and considered.
