¶ The fyrst Chapter.
¶ Paul exhorteth Titus to odeyne prestes or bysshappes
in euery cytie, ∧ declareth what maner of
men they ought to be þt; are chosen to that offyce, ∧
chargeth Titus to rebuke soch as withstande the
Gospell.
A Paul the serua&ubar;t of God, and
apostle of Iesu Christ accordinge
to the fayth of goddes
electe, and accordynge to the
knowledge of the trueth,
which is after godlynes in
þe; hope of eternall lyfe, which
God note (that cannot lye) promysed before the
worlde beganne: but hath opened his worde
at the tyme appoynted thorowe preachinge,
which is commytted vnto me, accordynge
to the commaundement of God oure saueoure.
To note Tytus hys naturall sonne after
the commen fayth.
B noteGrace mercy ∧ peace from God þe; father
∧ from the Lorde Iesu Christ oure saueoure.
For this cause left I the in Creta, þt; thou
shuldest refourme the thynges that are vnperfect,
∧ shuldest note ordeyne elders in euery
cytie, as I had appoynted the. If eny be blamelesse,
the husband of one wyfe, hauynge
faythfull childr&ebar;, which are not slaundred of
ryote, nether are disobedi&ebar;t. noteFor a bysshope
must be blamesse, as þe; stewarde of God:
not stubborne, not angrye note not geuen to
moch wyne, no fyghter, not geuen to fylthy
lucre: but a keper of hospitalite, one that loueth
goodnes (prudent) sobre, ryghteous,
godly, temperat, and such as cleueth vnto þe;
true worde of doctryne, that he maye be able
also to exhorte by wholsome learnynge, ∧ to
improue them that saye agaynst it.
C For ther are many vnruely and talkers
of vanite, and disceauers of myndes, specially
they that are of the circumcision, whose
mouthes must be stopped note which peruert
whole houses, teachinge thinges which they
ought not, because of fylthy lucre. One of th&ebar;
selues (euen a prophete of their awne) sayde:
The Crety&abar;s are all wayes lyars, euyll beastes,
slowe belyes. Thys wytnes is true:
wherfore rebuke thou th&ebar; sharply, that they
maye be sounde in þe; fayth, not takynge hede
to Iewes fables and commaundementes of
men that turne awaye the trueth. note
D Unto þe;
pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto th&ebar; that
are defyled and vnbeleuynge, is nothynge
pure: but euen the mynde and conscience of
them is defyled. They confesse þt; they knowe
God: but with the dedes they denye hym seinge
they are abominable and disobedient, ∧
vnapte vnto euery good worcke.
