My soul be for yours and theirs ^ whom, for the hon- our of God, ye have sent to Smyrna; whence also I vvrite to you, giving thanks to the Lord, and loving Poly- carp even as I do you. Remember me, as Jesus Christ also remembers you, who is blessed for evermore. Pray ye for the Church of Antioch which is in Syria, whence I am led bound to Rome, being the last of the faithful that are there, who ^ yet have been thought worthy to carry these chains to the honour of God. Fare ye well in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, our common hope, and in the Holy Ghost. Fare ye well. Amen. Grace [be with you] .5
