The .iii. Chapter of thee second Epistle of S. Paul, to the Thessalonians.

Argumen, Chap. iii.

Yf any be that wyll not worcke
but ydely wyll leue
Eschewe oute of hys companye
no meat we shulde hym geue.
Further more brethren,
praye you for me
That the word of god,
may haue a passage fre
And be gloryfyed, as it
is wyth you then
That we maye be delyuered,
from vnreasonable men
For all men haue not fayth,
but the Lorde is iuste
The whych shall stablyshe you, that
in hym you maye truste
Thorowe the Lorde, to you
we haue good truste
That ye bothe do and wyll do, that
whych we sayde moste
And the Lorde guyde youre
hartes in hys loue


Of God and also pacientye
of Iesu Christe aboue
We requyre you brethren, in the
name of Iesu Christe
That you wythdrawe youre selues,
from soche as do resyste
From euerye brother that
inordinately doeth naught
Not after the institucion, whych
we vnto you taughte
Ye youre selfe dyd knowe howe,
we dyd you amonge
For we behaued not oure selues
inordinately & wronge
Neyther toke we bread, of any
man for noughte
But wyth laboure and trauayle,
nyghte and daye we wrought
Because that greuouse, to you
we woulde not be
And yet not, but that
we hadde auctorite
But we oure selues in sample
to you made


That you shoulde folowe vs
accordinge to the trade
For whan we were wythe you
we gaue a warninge great
If any were that would not worke
the same shulde not eate
No doubte, there are amonge you
some as we heare tell
That walcketh inordinatelye
the whyche do not well
But are busye bodyes,
and worcke not at all
Theym that are soche, we
commaunde you to call
By oure Lorde Iesu Christes name
do theym intreate
That they wythe quietnesse
theyr owne bread maye eate
Brethren be not weary, thoughe
the tyme be longe
Not of well doynge, yf
anye of you amonge
Obeye not oure sayinges, wryte
and to vs sende


And haue no company wyth hym,
tyll that he do amende
That he maye be ashamed,
and counte hym not a foo
But warne hym as a brother,
that he nomore do so
The verye Lorde of peace,
geue you peace alwaye
The Lorde be wythe you all
and kepe you nyghte and daye
The salutacion of me Paule
wythe myne owne hande
Thys is the token of pystles
all for you to vnderstande
So I wryte too you, and
vnto God I call
The grace of oure lord Iesu Christ
be euer wyth you all.
AMEN.
