Although my Lord Protector, I doubt not, & the rest of the counsel do in the mean while, all that lieth in them ⟨p. 68⟩to redress things I would such as be rulers, noble men & masters should be at this point with their servants to certify […] this sort: If any man go about to do you wrong, I will do my best to help you in your right. But if thou break the law, thou […] have justice. If ye will be manquellers, murderers, & transgressors, look for no bearing at my hands. A strange thing.1 What need we in the vengeance to burden our selves with other mens since? Have we not since enow of our own? What need have I to burden my self with other mens since? I have bur dens &. […]. heaps of since. One heap of known since, an other of unknown […]. I had need to say: Ab occultis meis munda me domine, O lord deliver me from my hidden & my unknown sins. Then if I bear with other mens sins, I must say: Deliver me from […] mens since. A strange saying: from my other mens since. Who beareth with other folks offences, he communicateth with other folks since. Men have sins enough of their own, although they bear not & bolster up other men in their naughtiness, this bearing, this bolstering & looking through their singers, is naught. What that […] hap should I (or any else) increase my burden. My other mens since forgive me O Lord. A strange language, they have hid since of their own enough, although they bear not with guiltiness of other mens since. Oh father Samuel would not bear his own sons. He offered his own sons to punishment, & said: Ecce filij […] sunt, even at the first time he said: Lo, here they be, I discharge my self, & take them unto you, & as for my part, presto sū loqui corani domino et Christo eius. I am here ready to answer for self my before the Lord & his anointed. Behold here I am, record of me before the Lord, Utrum cuiusquam bovem. &c. Whether I have taken any mans Ox, any mans Ass, or whether I have don any man wrong, or hurt any man, or taken any bribes at any mans hand. I can commend the English translation that doth interpret munera bribes, not gifts. They answered: nay forsooth we know no such things in you. testis est mibi deus, saith he, god is witness, Quod nihil inuenieritis in manu mea, That you have found nought in my hands. Few such Samuel's are in England nor in the world. Why did Samuel this?
Although my Lord Protector, I dout not, & the rest of the counsail do in the mean while, al yt lieth in them
