He exhorteth them to stand to their old faith, shovving them by examples, that it is
damnable not to continue and be constant: 8 inueighing against the lecherie,
blasphemie, apostasie, banketing of the heretikes, 14 and that their damnation
vvas long foretold. 17 Catholikes therfore to be vnmoueable. to reproue the
obstinase, to recouer al not desperate, to confirme the vveake, and to liue them
selues vertuously and vvithout mortal sinne, vvhich by Gods grace they may doe.
1 Ivde the seruant of Iesvs Christ, and
brother of Iames: to them that are in
God the Father beloued, and in Iesvs
Christ preserued, and called.
2 Mercie to
you, and peace and charitie be accomplished.
3 My decrest, taking al care to vvrite vnto
you of your common saluation, I thought it necessarie to
vvrite vnto you: beseeching you to contend for the faith
once deliuered to the sainctes.
4 For there are certaine men
secretely entred in (vvhich vvere long ago prescribed vnto
this iudgement) impious, transferring the grace of our God
note into riotousnes, and denying the onely Dominator, and
our Lord Iesvs Christ.
5 noteBut I vvil admonish you, that
once knovv al things, that note Iesvs, sauing the people out
of the land of Ægipt, note secondly destroied them vvhich beleeued
not.
6 But the Angels vvhich kept not their principalitie,
but forsooke their owne habitation, he hath reserued
vnder darkenesse in eternal bondes vnto the iudgment of the
great day.
7 As note Sodom and Gomorrhe, and the cities adioyning
in like maner hauing note fornicated, and going after
other flesh, vvere made an example, sustaining the paine of
eternal fire.
8 In like maner these also defile the flesh, and note
despise dominion, & blaspheme maiestie.
9 Vvhen Michael
the Archangel, disputing vvith the Diuel, made altercation
-- --
09Q1497 for the body of Moyses: he durst not inferre iudgment of
blasphemie, but said, Our Lord note commaund thee.
10 But
these, vvhat things so euer certes they are ignorant of,09Q1498 they
blaspheme: and vvhat things so euer naturally, as dumme
beastes, they knovv, in those they are corrupted.
11 Vvo vnto them, note vvhich haue gone in the vvay of
note09Q1499 Cain: and vvith the errour of note Balaam, haue for revvard
povvred out them selues, and haue perished in the contradiction
of Corè.
12 These are in their bankets, spottes,
feasting together vvithout feare, feeding them selues, cloudes
vvithout vvater vvhich are caried about of vvindes, trees of
autumne, vnfruiteful, tvvise dead, plucked vp by the rootes,
13 raging vvaues of the sea, foming out their ovvne confusions,
vvandering starres: to vvhom the storme of darkenesse
is reserued for euer.
14 And of these prophecied
Enoch, the seuenth
from Adam, saying, Behold our Lord is come in his
holy thousandes,
15 to doe iudgement against al, and to reproue
al the impious, of al the vvorkes of their impietie
vvherby they haue done impiously, and of al the hard thinges
vvhich impious sinners haue spoken against him.
16 These
are murmurers, ful of complaintes, vvalking according to
their ovvne desires, and their mouth speaketh pride, admiring
persons for gaine sake.
17 But you my deerest, be mindeful of the vvordes vvhich
haue been spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord Iesvs
Christ,
18 vvho told you, note that in the last time shal come
mockers, according to their ovvne desires vvalking in impieties.
19 09Q1500These are they vvhich segregate them selues, sensual,
hauing not the Spirit.
20 But you my deerest, building
your selues vpon note our most holy faith, in the holy Ghost,
praying,
21 keepe your selues in the loue of God, expecting the
mercie of our Lord Iesvs Christ vnto life euerlasting.
22 And these certes reproue being iudged:
23 but them saue,
pulling out of the fire. And on other haue mercie in feare:
hating also that vvhich is carnal, the spotted cote.
24 And to him that is able to preserue you vvithout sinne,
and to sette you immaculate before the sight of his glorie in
exultation in the comming of our Lord Iesvs Christ,
25 to
the onely God our Sauiour by Iesvs Christ our Lord be
glorie and magnific&ebar;ce, empire and power before al worldes,
and novv and for al vvorldes euermore. Amen.
