PAVL an Apostle not of man nor by man but by Jesus Christ 2. To the Brethren which are at LAODICEA Grace and Peace be with you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 3. I thank my God in all my Prayers that you remain steadfast in him and in all his works waiting upon his promises to the day of Judgment 4. And be not seduced by some unprofitable talkers who go about to cause you to fall from the Gospel which was preached unto you by me 5. Oh that they that were instructed by me might serve to the profit of the Gospel of Truth and become diligent in good works of Eternal Life 6. And henceforth are my bonds manifest which I suffer for Christs sake 7. Whereof I rejoyce in Heart and Account it Eternal Salvation 8. That such is done through your Prayers by the working of the Holy Spirit whether by Life or Death 9. For I have a will and a joy to die in Christ who will through the same mercy give you to have the same love and to be of one mind 10. Therefore beloved Brethren as you have heard in my Presence that keep and finish in the fear of God so shall you have Eternal Life for God will work it and prefect it in you without delay 11. My beloved rejoyce in the Lord and take heed of them that are disirous after filthy lucre 12. Let your prayers be manifest unto God and remain firm in the knowledge of Christ 13. And do that which is meet convenient just and reasonable and what you have heard and received that keep in your hearts So shall you have Praise 14. The Grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits Amen Cause this Epistle to be read unto the Colossians and read you that which is written unto the Colossians Read Col. 4.16 This Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans was found in the Oldest Bible that was Printed at Worms IN a Translation of the New-Testament into both Latine and English each correspondent one to another after the vulgar Text commonly called St. Jerom's faithfully translated by John Hollybush 1538. and Printed in Southwark by James Nicholson and set forth by the Kings Licence I find in the sixth Chapter of Luke it is thus in the Margent after the fifth and sixth verses after these words The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath In one of the Greek Copies this followeth viz. Jesus seeing a certain Man working on the Sabbath day said unto him O Man if thou didst know indeed what thou dost thou art happy But if thou knowest not thou art accursed and a Transgressor of the Law Concerning the Death of PAVL PAVL being delivered by Nero bound unto Longinus and Magistus the Chief Officers and Acestus the Centurion that they should lead him without the City and cause him to be beheaded And Paul being full of the Holy Ghost spake the words of Eternal Life that both Nero and all should believe in Jesus Christ who was King of Heaven and Earth who would destroy the Glory of the World with Fire When they had led him away Longinus Magistus and Acestus began to say unto him tell us O Paul where is that King and where will he appear unto you and how will you know him And what will he give unto you or what good will he bestow upon you that you Christians so mightily love him that by no means you will consent unto our Religion that you may live and enjoy the good of this life But rather than all the pleasures of delight to be led to die for him with divers Torments for this seems to us to be a great error to hate this joyful life and to embrace with all your desire punishment and death Paul therefore saith O ye wise men and flourishing in knowledge depart out of the darkness and error wherein the Nobility of your understanding is clouded with darkness lest you should see the Truth which lieth hid in you return the eyes of your minds to the eternal and true Light that ye may be able first to know your selves and so come to the knowledge of that King with galdness and to be saved from that Fire which is to
come upon the World and to remain unhurt for we do not war as you think for some earthly King but the living God the Kingdom without end who by reason of the iniquities that 's done in this World he will come a Judge and will Judge it by Fire happy will that man be who will believe in him he shall have Eternal Life and shall live World without end and most unhappy is he who despising the riches of his bounties and long-suffering will not return unto him for he shall perish Eternally A Catalogue of those Scriptures which are mentioned but not inserted in the Bible THe Prophesie of Enoch mentioned Jude 14.
