The tame and dome beast speakinge with manes voyce forbade the folisshnes of the Prophete. 17 These are welles without water and cloudes caried about of a tepest to whome the myst of darcknes is reserved for ever. 18 For when they have spoke the swellinge wordes of vanytie they begyle wt wantanes thorowe yt lustes of the flesshe them that were clene escaped: but now are wrapped in errours. 19 They promys them libertye and are them selves ye bonde servauntes of corrupcion. For of whom soever a man is over come vnto ye same is he in bondage. 20 For yf they after they have escaped from the filthynes of the worlde thorowe ye knowledge of ye Lorde and of ye saviour Iesus Christ the y are yet tagled agayne therin and overcome: then is ye latter ende worsse with them then the beginninge. 21 For it had bene better for the not to have knowne ye waye of righteousnes then after they have knowe it to turne fro the holy comaundmet geve vnto them. 22 It is happened vnto them accordinge to the true proverbe: The dogge is turned to his vomet agayne and the sow that was wesshed to her wallowynge in the myre. 2 Peter 2:15-22, Tyndale Bible of 1526.
