If we do not so, we lye in saying, Forgive us As we forgive. We are expressly charged, anot to love in word, or in tongue, but in deed, and truth. But more particularly for this purpose,b Christ expressly noteth that forgiveness must be from the hearts of men.
A. 1 We must in truth forgiue one another. Thus doth God: thus may we forgiue. Thus, as we may, must wee bee like vnto God, and forgiue, as he forgiueth.
