:105img 64

Say thou, It is truth, god hereth not sinners, which repent not, which sorrow not, nor are borne again by faith: those are the ungodly and hypocrites, which pray not to god: and if they pray, yet pray they not in faith. Then shall they call on me,¹ and I will not here them. So in the psalm,² They shall cry, and I will not here them. But he graciously hereth the contrite, and them that repent, and are borne again by faith in Christ.³ A contrite and ⟨image 64⟩humble heart o god, thou wilt not despise.⁴ The busy prayer of the righteous is much worth.

SAy thou, It is truthe, god hereth not synners, which repent not, whiche sorowe not, nor are borne agayne by faythe: those are the vngodly and hypocrites, whiche praye not to god: and if they praye, yet praye they not in fayth. Then shall they call on me,¹ and I wyll not here theym. Soo in the psalm,² They shall crye, and I wil not here them. But he graciously hereth the contrite, and them that repente, and are borne agayne by faythe in Christe.
