Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. I.
Hee exhorteth a certaine honourable matrone, with her children, to perseuere in Christian loue, and beliefe, 8 lest they lose the reward of their former profession: 10 And to haue nothing to doe with those seducers that bring not the true doctrine of Christ Iesus.
2 For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer:
8 Looke to your selues, that wee lose not those things which wee haue wrought, but that we receiue a full reward.8
11 For hee that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his euill deeds.
12 Hauing many things to write vnto you, I would not write with paper and inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake face to face, that our ioy may be full.12
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
