O this is a godly prayer, which we ought at all times to say, for we sin daily, therefore we had need to say daily, forgive1 us our trespasses, and as David saith, Ne intres in judi cium cum seruo […], lord enter not into judgement with thy servant, for we be not able to abide his judgement, if it were not for this pardon, which we have in our saviour Jesus Christ we should all perish eternally. For when this word Remit,2 was spoken with a good faith, and with a penitent heart, there was never man but he was heard. If Judas (that traitor) had said it with a good faith, it should have saved him: but he forgot that point, he was taught it in deed, our saviour himself taught him to pray so, but he forgot it again. […] he remembered that point, he […] Remit, Lord forgive me and so he obtained his pardon, and so shall we do: for we be ever in that case, that we have need to say Remit lord forgive us, for we ever do amiss.
O this is a godly praier, whiche we ought at all tymes to say, for we sinne dayly, therfore we had nede to say daily, forgeue1 vs our trespasses, and as Dauid saith, Ne intres in iudi cium cum seruo 〈…〉, lord enter not into iudgement with thy seruant, for we be not able to abyde hys iudgement, if it wer not for this pardon, which we haue in our sauiour Jesu Christ we shold al perish eternally. For when this worde Remitte,2 was spoken with a good faithe, and with a penitent hearte, there was neuer man but he was heard. If Iudas (that traytour) had sayd it with a good faith, it should haue saued hym: but he forgot that pointe, he was taught it in dede, our sauiour himselfe taught hym to praye so, but he forgot it agayne. 〈…〉 he remembred that pointe, he 〈…〉 Remitte, Lord forgiue me and so he obteyued his pardon, and so shall we do: for we be euer in that case, that we haue nede to say Remitte lord forgiue vs, for we euer do amysse.
