Amē Timotheus my worke felowe in preaching the holy gospell and with him Lucius and Iason and Socipater my kinsman haue them all commended vnto you And I Tertius which wrote this same Epistle haue me hartily commended vnto you all Cayus mine hoste as also the hoste to all the congregations hathe him commended vnto you And Erastus the Chamberlaine of the citie Corinthin hathe bene likewise cōmended vnto you and so hathe Quartus a brother of the congregations And euen thus once againe I pray that the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ may be with you all whom I most hartely beséeche that by his holy will and power it will now fulfill and establishe all my desires in your hartes for by his only might and good will it must be broughte to passe but in no wise by any helpe at all from our selues according to the truthe of my gospell and the preaching of Iesus Christe By which holy gospel the law of Moses is not vtterly abrogate but the meaning or secreat mysterie thereof for that which many yeares héeretofore hathe bene hid from vs is nowe at the appoynted time according to the sayings of the Prophets plainly opened and declared in truthe vnto vs for oure more perfecte vnderstanding euen the light of the gospel and that as I saide by the only will and commaundement of almightie God which hath committed vnto vs the administration of the same to the ende that after the declaration of the gospel by which al superstition and false woorshipping of images and idolles be quite banished from vs as also the ceremonies of Moses ceassing now from henceforthe for euermore all creatures should wholely obay vnto only Christe by theyr true and liuely faith and moste humbly submit them selues vnto God their father which for our health is the only fountaine of all grace and wisedome To whom we all yéelde our hartie thankes throughe the grace of hys deare sonne Iesus Christe to whome also and the holy Ghost be eternall glory and praise nowe and for euermore Amen ¶ Huldrich Zwinglius in his frendly exposition to Luther touching the EVCHARIST confesseth vvhat he acknowledgeth of Iesus Christ.
