The .v. Chapter.
¶ A speciall exhortacion for al bishopes or pryestes to
feed the flocke of Christ, and what theyr dutye is, and
what reward they shal haue yf they be dylygent. He
exhorteth yonge persones to submyt them selues to
the elder, euerye one to loue another, to be sobre and
to watche, that they maye resyste the enemye.
A noteThe elders whiche are amonge
you, I exhorte, whiche am also
an elder, and a wytnes of the affliccions
of Christe, and also a
partaker of the glory that shallbe
opened, se that ye fede Christes flocke,
which is amonge you, takinge the ouersight
of them, not as though ye were compelled
therto, but wyllingly, not for the desire of fylthy
lucre, but of a good minde, not as though
ye were Lordes ouer the parishes, but that ye
be an ensample to þe; flocke. And when þe; chiefe
shephearde shal appere, ye shal receiue an incorruptible
crowne of glorie.
&rhand; Lykewyse ye yonger submit youre selues
vnto the elder. Submit youre selues euerye
man, one to another, knyt youre selues together
in lowlines of mynde. For God resisteth
the proude ∧ geueth grace to humble. &cross3; Submit
youre selues therfore vnder the myghty
hande of God, that he maye exalte you, when
the tyme is come. Caste all your care to him:
for he careth for you.
B note&cross2; Be sober and watch, for your aduersary þe;
deuyll as a roringe Lyon walketh aboute, sekinge
whom he may deuour, wh&obar; resist stedfast
in the fayth remembring, that ye do but
fulfill the same affliccions, which are appointed
to youre brethren that are in the worlde.
noteThe God of al grace, which called you vnto
his eternal glory by Christe Iesus, shall hys
owne selfe after ye haue suffred a litle affliccion
make you perfecte, shall settle, strenght
and stablishe you. To hym be glorie and dominion
for euer, and whyle the worlde endureth.
Amen. &cross3;
C &rhand; By Syluanus a faythfull brother vnto
you (as I suppose) haue I wrytten brefly, exhortynge
and testifyenge howe that this is
the true grace of God wherin ye stande. The
companions of youre election, that are
of Babylon, salute you, and Marcus
note my sonne. Grete ye one
another wyth the
kysse of
loue.
Peace be wyth you
all, which are in
Christe Iesus.
AMEN.
