Paul’s Greeting to Titus
(2 Corinthians 8:16–24)

1Paul a seruaunt of God, & an Apostle of Iesus Christe, according to the fayth of Gods elect, & the knowledge of ye trueth, whiche is after godlynesse, 2In the hope of eternall lyfe, which God that can not lye, promised before the worlde began: 3But hath made manifest his worde, at ye time appoynted through preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the ordinaunce of God our sauiour:

4To Titus a natural sonne after the common fayth: Grace, mercie, peace, from God the father, and the Lorde Iesus Christe our sauiour.

Appointing Elders on Crete
(1 Timothy 3:1–7; 1 Peter 5:1–4)

5For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest refourme ye thynges that are left, and ordayne elders in euerye citie, as I had appoynted thee: 6If any be blamelesse, the husbande of one wyfe, hauyng faythfull chyldren, not accusable of riote, or vntractable. 7For a bishop must be blamelesse, as the stewarde of God: not stubborne, not angry, not geuen to wyne, no striker, not geuen to filthie lucre: 8But a louer of hospitalitie, a louer of goodnes, sober, ryghteous, godly, temperate, 9Holdyng fast the faythfull worde, which is accordyng to doctrine, that he may be able both to exhort in wholsome doctrine, and to improue them that say agaynst it.

Correcting False Teachers
(1 Timothy 1:3–11)

10For there are many vnruly, and vayne talkers, and deceauers of myndes, specially they that are of ye circumcision, 11Whose mouthes must be stopped, which subuert whole houses, teachyng thynges which they ought not, for fylthie lucre sake. 12One of them selues euen a prophete of their owne, sayde: The Crettans are alwayes lyers, euyll beastes, slowe bellyes. 13This witnesse is true: wherfore rebuke them sharpely that they may be founde in the fayth, 14Not takyng heede to Iewes fables and comaundementes of men, turnyng from the trueth. 15Unto the pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defyled and vnbeleuyng, is nothyng pure, but euen the mynde and conscience of them is defyled. 16They confesse that they knowe God: but with workes they denie hym, seyng they are abhominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
