8. Remember that Iesus Christe, of the seede of Dauid, was raysed from the dead, accordyng to my Gospell,
9. Wherin I suffer trouble as an euyll doer, euen vnto bondes: But the worde of God is not bounde.

24. And the seruaunt of the Lorde must not striue: but be gentle vnto all men, apt to teache, sufferyng euyll in mekenesse,

26. And that they may come to the selues agayne, out of the snare of the deuyll, which are holden captyue of hym at his wyll.
