Chap. III.
These tvvo Epistles he vvriteth to confirme them in the Apostles doctrine, and vvarneth
them of scorners that shal come, and denie Domesday. 5 Whose vaine argument
he ansvvereth, and giueth the reason of Gods so long patience, 10 exhorting to
al holines of life in respect of that terrible day. 16 Finally giuing vvarning of
such as misinterprete S. Paules Epistles & the other Scriptures, and that vve must
not for any thing fall from the true faith.
1 This loe the second epistle I vvrite to
you my deerest, note in vvhich I stirre vp by
admonition your sincere minde:
2 that
you may be mindeful of those vvordes
vvhich I told you before from the holy
Prophetes, and of your Apostles, of the
preceptes of our Lord and Sauiour.
3 Knovving this first, that note in the last daies shal come mockers
in deceit, vvalking according to their ovvne concupiscences,
4 saying, Vvhere is his promise or his c&obar;ming? For
since the time that the fathers slept, al things do so perseuêre
from the beginning of creature.
5 for they are vvilfully ignorant
of this, that the heauens vvere before, & the earth, out of
vvater, and through vvater, consisting by the vvord of God:
6 by the vvhich, that vvorld then, being ouerflovved vvith
vvater perished.
7 But the heauens vvhich novv are, & the
earth, are by the same word kept in store, reserued to fire vnto
the day of iudgem&ebar;t & of the perdition of the impious men.
8 But this one thing be not ignor&abar;t of, my deerest, that note one
day with our Lord is as a thousand yeres, & a thousand yeres
as one day.
9 Our Lord slacketh not his promis, as some do
esteeme it: but he doth patiently for you, note not vvilling that
any perish, but that al returne to penance.
10 And note the day
of our Lord shal come as a theefe in the vvhich the heauens
shal passe vvith great violence, but the elementes shal be resolued
vvith heate, and the earth and the vvorkes vvhich
are in it, shal be burnt.
11 Therfore vvhereas al these thinges are to be dissolued:
vvhat maner of men ought you to be in holy conuersations
and godlinesses,
12 expecting and hasting vnto the c&obar;ming
of the day of our Lord, by vvhich the heauens burning shal
be resolued, and the elementes shal melt vvith the heate of
fire?
13 But vve expect note nevv heauens and a nevv earth according
-- --
to his promises, in vvhich iustice inhabiteth.
14 For the vvhich cause my deerest, expecting these things,
labour earnestly to be found immaculate and vnspotted to
him in peace:
15 and note the longanimitie of our Lord, do ye
account saluation, as also our most deere brother Paul according
to the vvisdom giuen him hath vvritten to you:
16 as also
in al epistles, speaking in them of these things, in the
vvhich are09Q1462 certaine things hard to be vnderstoode, vvhich
the vnlearned and vnstable depraue, as also the rest of the
Scriptures, to their ovvne perdition.
17 You therfore brethr&ebar;,
foreknovving, take heede lest ledde aside by the errour of
the vnwise you fal away from your owne stedfastnes.
18 but
grovv in grace and in knovvledge of our Lord and sauiour
Iesvs Christ. To him be glorie both novv and vnto the
day of eternitie. Amen.
