The first Chapter.

A   Pavl the seruaunt of God, and an Apostle off Iesus Christ, note to preach the faith off Gods electe, and the knowlege of þe; trueth, which ledeth vnto godlynes, vpon the hope of eternall life: which God note that can not lye hath promysed before the tymes of the worlde: but at his tyme hath opened his worde thorow preachinge, which is commytted vnto me acordinge to the commaundem&ebar;t of God oure Sauioure.

noteVnto Titus my naturall sonne after þe; comen faith.

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and fr&obar; the note LORDE Iesu Christ oure Sauioure.

B   For this cause left I the in Creta, that thou shuldest perfourme that which was lackynge, and shuldest ordeyne Elders in euery cite, as I appoynted þe;. Yf eny be blamelesse, the hu&esset;bande of one wife, hauynge faithfull children, which are not slaundred or ryote, nether are dishobedient. noteFor a Bisshoppe must be blamelesse, as the note stewarde of God: not wylfull, not angrye, note not geuen vnto moch wyne, no fyghter, not gredye of filthye lucre: but harbarous, one that loueth goodnes, sober mynded, righteous, holy, temperate, and soch one as cleueth vnto the true worde of doctryne: that he maye be able to exhorte with wholsome lernynge, ∧ to improue them that saye agaynst it.

C    noteFor there are many dishobedient, and talkers of vanite, and disceauers of myndes: namely they of the circ&ubar;cision, whose mouthes must be stopped: note which peruerte whole houses, teachinge thinges which they oughte not, because of filthye lucre. One of them selues euen their awne prophet, sayde: note The Cretayns are alwayes lyars, euell beestes, and slowe belies. This witnesse is true. Wherfore rebuke them sharply, þt; they maye be sounde in the faith, and not to take hede vnto Iewes fables and commaundementes of men, which turne them awaye from the trueth. noteVnto þe; cleane are all thinges cleane: but. to the vncleane ∧ vnbeleuers, there is nothinge cleane, but both their mynde ∧ conscience is defyled. They saye that they knowe God, but with the dedes they denye him: for so moch as they are abhominable and dishobedient, and vnmete to all good workes.
