3 Remember that the LORD JESUS shed his blood to make thee friends with GOD, and wilt not thou be friends with thy brother? Cannot the blood of CHRIST, that bought a whole Church, of GOD, buy the forgiveness of one wrong at thy hands? Take heed, lest for not showing mercy, thou find no mercy.
3 Remember that the LORD IESUS shed his bloud to make thee friends with GOD, and wilt not thou be friends with thy brother? Cannot the bloud of CHRIST, that bought a whole Church, of GOD, buy the forgivenesse of one wrong at thy hands? Take heed, lest for not shewing mercy, thou finde no mercy.
4 GOD is patient towards thee, though he be provoked every day. Ad Patientiam vocat, qui patientia est; He invites us to be patient, that is, Patience it self. Sustine tu, 1sustinet Deus; Doe thou bear with others, God bears with thee. Is there a Too much, which thou canst suffer for so patient a Lord? How wouldest thou endure wounds for him, that canst not endure words for him? A man reviles thee, thou art impatient: how wouldst thou afford thy ashes to CHRIST, and write Patience with thine own blood?
