A   And wryte vnto the messenger of þe; congregacion þt; is at Sardis: this sayth he þt; hath þe; seu&ebar; spretes of God ∧ the seuen starres. I know thy workes, thou hast a name that thou lyuest, and thou art deed. Be awake, and strength the thynges which remayne, þt; are redy to dye. For I haue not founde thy worckes perfayete before (my) God. Rem&ebar;ber therfore, how thou hast receaued ∧ heard, ∧ hold faste, ∧ repent.

^noteIf thou shalt not watche, I wyll come on the as a thefe, ∧ thou shalt not know what houre I wyll come vpon the. Thou hast a feawe names in Sardys, whych haue not defyled theyr garmentes, ∧ they shall walke wyth me in whyte, for they are worthy. He that ouerc&obar;meth, shalbe thus clothed in whyte araye, and I wyll not put out his name out of the boke of lyfe, and I wyll confesse hys name before my father, and before hys Angels. Let hym that hath eares, heare, what the sprete sayth vnto the congregacyons.

B   And wryte vnto the angell of the congregacion of Phyladelphia: this sayth he that is holy and true, which hath þe; keye of Dauid: ^note whych openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth, ∧ no man openeth.

Let hym that hath eares, heare, what the sprete sayth vnto the congregacyons.

And vnto þe; messenger of þe; c&obar;gregacyon whych is in Laodicia, wryte: This sayth (Amen) the faythfull and true wytnes, the begynnyng of þe; creatures of God. I know thy workes, that thou art nether colde nor hotte: I wolde þu; were colde or hotte. So then because thou arr betwene bothe, and nether colde ner hote, I wyll spewe the out of my mouth, because thou sayest: I am ryche ∧ incresyd wyth goodes, D   and haue nede of nothyng, and knowest not, how thou art wretched ∧ myserable, and poore, ∧ blynde and nakyd.

If eny man heare my voyce, and open the dore, I wyll come in to hym, and wyll suppe with hym, and he with me. To hym that ouerc&obar;meth wyll I graunte to syt with me in my seate, euen as I ouercam, ∧ haue sytten with my father in his seate. Lett hym that hath eares heare, what the sprete sayth vnto þe; congregacyons.
