& therefore they believe they shall go into purgatory & there to be cleansed from their sins, which thing is not so: they be liars which teach such doctrine. For god forgiveth us both yt pain & the guiltiness of sins. Like as it appeared in David, when he repented, Nathan said unto him: abstulit dn̄s iniqui tatē tuā, yt lord (saith he) hath taken away thy wickedness. But they will say: god toke away the guiltiness of his sins, but not yt pain for he punished him afterward. Sir, yt must understand, that god punished him, but not to yt end that he should make satis1 faction & amends for his sins: but for a warning god would give him a Cave, therefore he punished him.

Sir, yt must vnderstand, yt god punished him, but not to yt end that he shold make satis1 factiō & amēds for his sins: but for a warning god wold geue him a Caue, therefore he punished him. So likewise whosoeuer is a repentāt sinner, as Dauid was, & beleueth in Christ, he is cleane à poena & a culpa, both from the payne and giltines of his sinnes: yet god punisheth synnes, to make vs to remember and to beware of synnes.

Now to make an end: you have heard […] needful it is for us to cry unto god, for forgiveness of our sins: where
