Transcribed from a dated scan; artifacts may remain. Edition notes

I know who I am and to whom I write. I am condemned, you have obtained mercy; I am in danger, you are established in safety ;

you are the passage for those who are being slain for the sake God, fellow-initiates with Paul, who was sanctified, who gained a good report, who was right blessed, in whose footsteps may I be found when I shall attain to God, who in every Epistle makes mention of you in Christ Jesus.
