For we write none other things to you
 The things we write unto you concerning our conduct; and behaviour, are no other 
 than what you read;
 not in our letters to you, but in our lives and conversations, when we were among you, and which you must own and acknowledge to be just and right; we can appeal to you, that what we say, and are obliged to say of ourselves, in our own defence, is what, upon a recollection, you will easily remember to have seen and observed: 
 and I trust;
 or "hope", through the grace of God, we shall be enabled so to walk, as that 
 you shall acknowledge even to the end;
 that our conversations are as become the Gospel of Christ, and are clear of that hypocrisy and deceit our adversaries would insinuate concerning us.
