That I may have grace so to open the remnant of this parable, that it may be to the glory of God, and edifying of your souls, I shall desire you to pray. In the which prayer &c. I showed you the last day (most honourable Audience) the cause why our Saviour Christ, rather used the example of a wicked Judge than of a good. And the cause was1 for that in those days there was great plenty of […] Judges, so that he might borrow an example among them well enough. For there was much scarcity of good judges. I did excuse the widow also, for coming to the Judge against her adversary, because she did it not of malice: she did it not for appetite of vengeance.2
