Now as touching we desire one another to pray for us / that do we to purr our neighbour in remembrance of his duty & not that we trust in his holiness. Our trust is in god / in Christ and in y• trueth of God's promises / we have also a promise that when .ij. 02. iij. or moe agree together in any thing according to the will of god / god heareth us. Not withstanding as god heareth many so heareth he few / and so heareth he one / if he pray after y• will of god & desire the honour of god. He y• desireth mercy / y• same feeleth his▪ own miseri / & sine & morneth in his heart for to be delivered / that he might honour God and ⟨image 44⟩God for his trueth must hear him / which sayeth by he mouth of Christ Mat. v. Blessed are they that hunger & thirst after righteousness / for they shall be fulfilled. God for his truths sake must put the righteousness of Christ in him & was he his unrighteousness away in the blood of Christ. And be the sinner never so weak / never so feeble & frail / sin he never so oft & so grievous / yet so long as this lust desire & inorninge to be delivered remaineth in him. God seeth not his sins / reckoneth them not / for his truths sake & love to Christ. He is not a sinner in the sight of God / that would be no sinner. He that would be delivered hath his heart loose all ready. His heart sinneth not / but morneth repenteth / & consenteth unto y• law & will of God and justifieth God / that is / beareth record that God which made the law / is righteous & just. And such an heart trusting in Christs blood / is accepted for full righteous. And his weakness / infirmity & frailty is pardoned & his sins not looked upon: until God put more strength in him and fulfil his lust.
Now as towchīge we desire one another to pray for vs / yt doo we to pur our neibour in remēbraūce of his dutie & not yt we trust ī his holines. Oure trust ys in god / in Christ ād in y• trueth of goddes promises / we have also a promise yt whē .ij. 02. iij. or moe agre together in ony thīg acordīge to ye will of god / god heareth vs. Not withstādīg as god heareth many so heareth he few / ād so heareth he one / if he pray after y will of god & desire the honour of god. He y desireth mercie / y same fealeth hys awne miseri / & sine & morneth ī his hert for to be delyverd / that he myght honour God and
