Chap. I.
Hovv much God hath done for them, making them Christians: 5 and that they againe
must doe their part, not hauing onely faith, but al other vertues also and good
vvorkes, that so they may haue the more assurance to enter into the kingdom of
heauen. 13 And that he is so careful so admonish them, knovving that his
death is at hand, knovving also most certainely the comming of Christ by the
vvitnes of the Father him self, as also by the Prophets. Concerning vvhom he
vvarneth them that they folovv not priuate spirites, but the holy Ghost (speaking
novv in the Church.)
1 Simon Peter seruant and Apostle of Iesvs Christ, to them that haue
obtained equal faith vvith vs in the iustice
of our God and Sauiour Iesvs
Christ.
2 Grace to you and peace be
accomplished in the knovvledge of
God and Christ Iesvs our Lord:
3 as al things of his diuine povver
vvhich pertaine to life and godlines, are giuen vs by the
knovvledge of him vvhich hath called vs by his ovvne propre
glorie and vertue, by vvhom he hath giuen vs most
great and pretious promises: that by these you may be
-- --
made partakers of the diuine nature, fleeing the corruption
of that concupiscence vvhich is in the vvorld.
5 And you
employing al care, minister ye in your faith, vertue: and in
vertue, knovvledge:
6 and in knovvledge, abstinence: and in
abstinence, patience: and in patience, pietie:
7 and in pietie,
loue of the fraternitie: and in the loue of the fraternitie,
charitie.
8 For if these things be present vvith you, & abound:
they shal make you not vacant, nor vvithout fruite in the
knovvledge of our Lord Iesvs Christ.
9 For he that hath
not these things ready, is blinde, and groping vvith his h&abar;d,
hauing forgotten the purging of his old sinnes.
10 Vvherfore, brethren, labour the more that09Q1459 by good
vvorkes you may make sure your vocation and election. for,
doing these things, you shal not sinne at any time.
11 For so
there shal be ministred to you aboundantly an entrance into
the euerlasting kingdom of our Lord and Sauiour Iesvs
Christ.
12 For the vvhich cause I wil begin to admonish you
alvvaies of these things: and you in deede knovving & being
confirmed in the present truth.
13 But I thinke it meete
as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by admonition:
14 being certaine that the laying avvay of my tabernacle
is at hand, according as our Lord Iesvs Christ also signified
to me.
15 And I vvil doe my diligence, you to haue often
09Q1460 after my decease also, that you may keepe a memorie of
these things.
16 noteFor, not hauing folovved vnlearned fables, haue vve
made the povver and note presence of our Lord Iesvs Christ
knovven to you: but note made beholders of his greatenesse.
17 For, note he receiuing from God his father honour and glorie,
this maner of voice comming dovvne to him from the magnifical
glorie, This is my beloued sonne in vvhom I haue pleased my self,
heare him.
18 And this voice vve heard brought from heauen,
vvhen vve vvere vvith him in the note holy mounte.
19 And we
haue the prophetical vvord more sure: vvhich you doe vvel
attending vnto, as to a candel shining in a darke place, vntil
the day davvne, and the day starre arise in your hartes: &cross4;
20 vnderstanding this first that no prophecie of scripture is
made by09Q1461 priuate interpretation.
21 For, note not by mans vvil
vvas prophecie brought at any time: but the holy men of
God spake, inspired vvith the holy Ghost.
