What so ever ye ask my father in my name, shall be given you thorough my merits. You miserable people that are wronged ⟨image 61⟩in the world, ask of my father in your distresses, but put me a fore,1 look you come not with brags of your own merits but come in my name, and by my merit.
What so euer ye aske my father in my name, shall be geuen you thorough my merytes. You miserable people that are wronged ⟨image 61⟩in the worlde, aske of my father in your dystresses, but put me a fore,1 looke you come not wyth bragges of your owne merytes but come in my name, and bi my meryte.

He hath not the property of this stout judge, he will bear your importunateness, he will not be angry at your crying and calling. The prophet saith: Speraverunt in te Patres nostri, et exaudinisti illos. Thou GOD thou God, our fathers did cry upon thee, and thou heardest them. Art thou not our GOD as well as theirs? There is nothing more pleasant to God, then for to put him in remembrance of his goodness showed unto our forefathers.1 It is a pleasant ⟨image 61⟩thing to tell God of the benefits that he hath done before our time.
