¹ Therfore seynge we haue soch an office (euen as mercy is come vpon vs) we faynte not,² but cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftines: nether corruppe we the worde of God but open the trueth, and reporte oure selues to euery mans conscyence in the sighte of God.³ Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost:⁴ amonge whom the God of this worlde hath blynded ye myndes of them which beleue not, that ye lighte of the Gospell of the glory of Christ ( which is the ymage of God) shulde not shyne vnto them.⁵ For we preach not or selues, but Iesus Christ to be the LORDE, and oure selues youre seruauntes for Iesus sake.⁶ For God that comaunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, yt by vs ye light of ye knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ.⁷ But this treasure haue we in earthen vessels, that ye power which excelleth might be of God, and not of vs.

⁸ We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shift. We are in pouertie, but not vtterly without somwhat.⁹ We are persecuted, but we are not forsaken. We are oppressed, neuertheles we perish not.¹⁰ We allwayes beare aboute in oure body the dyenge of the LORDE Iesus yt the life also of the LORDE Iesus might appeare in oure body.¹¹ For we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might appeare in oure mortall flesh.¹² Therfore is death now mightie in vs, but life in you.¹³ But seynge that we haue the same sprete of faith (acordinge as it is wrytten: I beleued, and therfore haue I spoke.) we also beleue, & therfore we speake,¹⁴ for we knowe that he, which raysed vp ye LORDE Iesus, shal rayse vs vp also by ye meanes of Iesus, and shal set vs with you.¹⁵ For all thinges do I for youre sakes, that the pleteous grace by the thakesgeuynge of many, maye redounde to the prayse of God.¹⁶ Therfore are we not weery, but though or outwarde man be corrupte, yet the inwarde is renewed daye by daye.¹⁷ For oure trouble, which is but temporall and lighte, worketh an exceadinge and an eternall weighte of glorye¹⁸ vnto vs, which loke not on the thinges that are sene, but on them which are not sene. For ye thinges which are sene, are temporall: but the thinges that are not sene, are eternall.
