Christ pardoneth all our iniquities,1 and healeth all our diseases, he delivereth our lives from destruction, and crowneth us in ivercye and loving kindness.
Christ pardoneth all our iniquities,1 and healeth all our dyseases, he delyuereth our lyues from destruction, and crowneth vs in iuercye and louynge kindnes.
Christ is right mild and merciful, flow unto wrath, but ready to forgiveness. He chideth not ever, neither is he angry always, he dealeth not with us after our sins, nor rewardeth us according to our wickedness. The height of the heavens is not so present over the earth, as is his merciable goodness over them that worship him. He setteth our sins as far from us, as is the East from the West.

Never was there any father so tender unto his children, as is the Lord unto them that worship him. For it is he that knoweth our making, he remembereth that we are but of dust.
