1 Vnto the angell of the congregacion of Ephesus wryte: These thinges sayth he that holdeth the seuen starres in his righthonde, and walketh in the myddes of the seuen golde candelstickes:
2 I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy pacience, & howe thou cannest not forbeare them which are euell: and examinest them which saye they are Apostles, and are not: & hast founde the lyars
3 and hast suffred. And hast paciece: and for my names sake hast laboured and hast not faynted.
4 Neuerthelesse I haue somwhat agaynst the, for thou hast lefte thy fyrst loue.
5 Remember therfore fro whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the fyrst workes. Or elles I wyl come vnto the shortly, and wil remoue thy cadelstycke out of his place, excepte thou repent.
6 But this thou hast because thou hatest ye dedes of the Nicolaitans, which dedes I also hate.
