for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, in order to establish you:

for what if some betrayed their trust? shall their unfaithfulness render

and why may we not do evil, that good may come?" which is slanderously reported to be our maxim, by some, whose condemnation is just.

now for a wicked man no one would willingly die; but for a benefactor some have readily offer'd to die.

thus some he pursues with his favours, and abandons others to their obduracy, according as he thinks fit.

if I could by any means excite the emulation of my dear countrymen, in order to save some.

if then, some of the branches are broken off, and thou like a wild olive, were grafted in their place to partake of the root and sap of the olivestock;

when I take my journey into Spain, I hope to see you in my way, and be forwarded by you to that place, after having for some time enjoy'd the pleasure of your company.
