¹ This knowe also, that in the last dayes, perylous tymes shalbe at hande.² For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proude, blasphemers, disobedient to fathers and mothers, vnthankefull, vngodlye:³ Without naturall affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, riotous, fierce, despisers of them which are good,⁴ Traytours, headdy, hye mynded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God:⁵ Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these.⁶ These are they, which enter into houses, & leade captiue [simple] women laden with sinne, caryed with diuers lustes:⁷ Euer learnyng, and neuer able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.⁸ For as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moyses, so do these also resist the trueth: Men of corrupt myndes, reprobate concernyng the fayth:⁹ But they shall preuayle no longer. For their madnesse shalbe manifest vnto all [men] as also theirs was.
