Jude the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those that are sanctified by God the father, and by their vocation are reserved for Jesus Christ.

mercy, peace and love be multiplied to you.

For certain men have insinuated themselves among you, who were formerly proscrib'd to be punish'd; impious men, who pervert the divine favour to licentiousness, and renounce their only master, and Jesus Christ our Lord.

so it was with Sodom, Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, who abandoning themselves to the same licentiousness and abominable passions, were made examples by suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

for they assur'd you, there would be impostors in the last days, who would follow their own impious passions.

but you, my brethren, improve yourselves in your most holy faith, present your addresses by the holy spirit,

and thereby cultivate the divine favour, in the expectation of eternal life by the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord.

of others be compassionately tender, snatching them, as it were, out of the fire: and avoid even the garment of the infected.

to God only wise, our saviour, be glory, magnificence, power, and empire, both now and for ever.
