But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
holding fast the faithful word, as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine, both to exhort, and to convince the gainsayers," 1 Tim. 3:2; Titus 1:7 9.
By us despised strangers and scattered christians, for the sake of God's word and its testimony. A. D. 1552.
