3 Blessed be God ye father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ the father of mercy and the God of all comforte

4 which comforteth vs in all oure tribulacio in so moche yt we are able to coforte them which are troubled in whatsoever tribulacion it be with the same comforte wher with we oure selves are coforted of God.

5 For as ye affliccios of Christ are pleteous in vs eve so is oure consolacio plenteous by Christ.

6 Whether we be troubled for youre consolacion and salvacio which salvacion sheweth her power in yt ye soffre ye same affliccios which we also suffre: or whether we be coforted for youre consolacion and salvacion:

7 yet oure hope is stedfast for you in as moch as we know how that as ye have youre parte in affliccios so shall ye be parttakers of consolacion.
