The Argument of the Epistle of S. Paul to Philemon

Hearing of Philemon's virtue, who was a Colossian, he writeth a familiar letter from Rome (being prisoner there) about his fugitive servant Onesimus: not doubting but that he might command him, yet rather requesting that he will forgive him, yea and receive him as he would Paul himself, who also hopeth to come unto him.

The reading text follows the 1582 first edition.
