If god now command to forgive him, qui […] contra me, that sinneth against me, how much more must I be reconciled to him, whom I have offended: I must go unto him, and desire him to forgive me, I must acknowledge my fault, & so humble my self before him. Here a man might ask a question, saying: What if a man have offended me grievously, and hath hurt me in my good, or slandered me, and is […] in it, standeth in defence of himself and his own wickedness, he will not acknowledge himself: shall I forgive him? Answer. Forsooth GOD himself3 doth not so, he forgiveth not since, except the sinner acknowledge himself, confess his wickedness, and cry him mercy. Now I am sure, god requireth no more at our hands, than he doth himself. Therefore I will say this: if thy neighbour, or any man hath done against thee, and will not […] his faults, but wickedly defendeth the same, I for my own discharge must put away all rancour and malice out of my heart, and be ready as far forth as I am able, to help him: if I do so, I am discharged afore god, but so is not he. For truly that sturdy fellow shall make a heavy count afore the righteous judge.
