Phi. Discomfort not your self, but take a good heart unto you. You are in this behalf in none other case then all the saints and faithful people of God have been before you,1 & are at this day. For all have sinned, and want the glory of God.2 All have gone astray like lost sheep. We are unprofitable servants.3 All our righteousnesses are as a clothe defiled with menstrue.4 If we say we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ⟨p. 402⟩all unrighteousness.
