As we forgive our debtors.
As we forgeue our debters.
He that seeketh vengeance shall find vengeance of the Lord,1 which shall surely keep him his sins. ⟨image 30⟩Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done thee, and so shall thy sins be forgiven thee also, when thou prayest. A man that beareth hatred against an other, how dare he desire forgiveness of God? He that showeth no mercy to a man which is like him self, how dare he ask forgiveness of his sins? If he that is but flesh, beareth hatred and keepeth it, who will entreat for his sins? Remember the end, and let enmity pass.
He that seeketh vengeance shall finde vengeance of ye Lorde,1 which shall surely keepe hym hys sinnes. ⟨image 30⟩Forgeue thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done thee, and so shall thy sinnes bee forgeuen thee also, when thou prayest. A man that beareth hatred agaynst an other, how dare hee desire forgeuenes of God? He that sheweth no mercy to a man which is lyke him selfe, how dare he aske forgeuenes of his sinnes? If he that is but fleshe, beareth hatred and kepeth it, who will intreate for hys sinnes? Remember the ende, and let emnitie passe.
