¶ The .ij. Chapter. &cross2;
¶ He exhorteth men to laye asyde all vice, to absteyne
from fleshly lustes, and to obeye wordly rulers.
How seruauntes shulde behaue them selues toward
their masters. He exhorteth to suffre after the ensample
of Chryst.
A Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes
∧ al gyle, ∧ faynednesse
∧ enuy and all backbytinge:
∧ note as new borne babes,
desyre ye þt; mylke (not
of the body but of the soule)
which is &wt; out disceate þt; ye
maye growe ther by (vnto saluacyon) If so be þt;
ye haue tasted, how gracious the Lorde is,
to wh&obar; ye come, as vnto a lyu&ibar;ge stone, disalowed
of m&ebar;, but chos&ebar; of God ∧ precio&us;: ∧ ye
as lyu&ibar;ge stones, are made a spretuall house
an holy presthode, for to offer vp spretual sacrifyces,
acceptable to God by Iesus Christ.
B Wherfore it is c&obar;tayned also in þe; scripture: note
beholde I put &ibar; Si&obar; a stone to be layed &ibar; þe; chefe
corner, electe ∧ precious. ∧ he þt; beleueth on
him shall not be c&obar;fo&ubar;ded. Unto you therfore
whych beleue he is precious: but vnto them
which beleue not note þe; stone which þe; buylders refused,
the same is begonne to be þe; heed of the
-- --
corner, and a stone that men stomble at, and
a rocke wherat they be offended whych st&obar;ble
at the worde, and beleue not that, wheron
they were set. But ye are a chosen generacion,
a royall note presthod, note an holy nacyon, a
people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe
the vertues of hym, that called you out
of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght, note
whych in tyme past were not a people, but
are now the people of God: which some time
had not optayned mercye, but now haue optayned
mercye. &cross3;
C &cross2; note Dearly beloued, I beseche you as
straungers and pylgrems, abstayne note from
fleshly lustes, which fyght against the soule,
∧ se that ye haue honest conuersacion am&obar;ge
the Gentyles, that where as they backbyte
you as euyll doars note they maye se your good
workes, and prayse God &lhand; in the daye of
vysytacion.
noteSubmyt youre selues therfore vnto all
maner ordina&ubar;ce of man for the lordes sake,
whether it be vnto the kynge, as vnto the
chefe heed: other vnto rulars, as vnto them
that are sent of hym, for the punysshem&ebar;t of
euyll doars, but for the laude of them, that
do well. For so is þe; wyll of God, that wyth
well doyng ye maye stoppe the mouthes of
foolysh ∧ ignoraunt men: as fre, ∧ not as hauinge
the lybertie for a cloacke of maliciousnes,
but euen as the seruauntes of God note Honoure
all men. Loue brotherly feleshyppe.
Feare God, honoure the kynge.
noteSeruauntes, obey your masters &wt; feare
not onely yf they be good ∧ courteo&us;: but
also though they be frowarde note For it is th&abar;ke
worthye &cross3; yf a m&abar; for c&obar;sci&ebar;ce towarde
God endure grefe, and suffer wrong vndeserued.
For what prayse is it, yf when ye be
buffeted for your fautes, ye take it pacy&ebar;tly?
But ∧ yf when ye do well, ye suffer wr&obar;ge ∧
take it paciently, then is ther th&abar;ke &wt; God.
D For here vnto verely were ye called: for
&cross2; Christ also suffered for vs note leauynge vs
an ensample, that ye shulde folowe his steppes,
whych dyd no synne, nether was there
gyle fo&ubar;d in hys mouth: whych wh&ebar; he was
reuyled, reuyled not agayne: when he suffered,
he threatened not, but c&obar;mitted the v&ebar;geaunce
to hym that iudgeth ryghteously note
whych hys awne selfe bare our synnes in his
body on the tree, that we beyng delyuered
from synne, shuld lyue vnto ryghteousnes.
By whose strypes ye were healed. For ye
were as shepe goyng astraye: but are now
turned vnto the shepeherd and bysshope of
youre soules. &cross3;
