Now as touching that we desire one 1another to pray for us, that do we to put our neighbour in remembrance of his duty and not that we trust in his holiness. Our trust is in God, in Christ and in the trueth of God's promises, we have also a promise that when .ii. or ▪iii. 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, •nd so heareth he one, if he pray after the will of god and desire the honour of God. He that desireth mercy, the same feeleth his ow•e misery, and sin and morneth in his heart for to be delivered, that he might honour God and God for his trueth must hear him, which sayeth by the mouth of christ Mat. v. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be fulfilled. God for his truths sake must put the righteousness of Christ in him and2 wash his unrighteousness away in the blood of Christ. And be the sinner never so weak, never so feeble and frail, sine he never so oft & so arevousli, yet so long as this lust desire and morning to be delivered remaineth in him, God seeth not his sins, reckoneth them not, for his truths sake and love to Christ. He is not a sinner in the sight of God, yea would ⟨image 44⟩be no sinner. He that would be delivered hath his heart loose already. His heart sinneth not, but morneth repenteth, and consenteth unto the law and will of God and justifieth God, that is, beareth record that God which made the law is righteous and just. And such an heart trusting in Christs blood, is accepted for full righteous. And his weakness, infirmity and frailty is pardoned and his since not looked upon: until God put more strength in him and fulfil his lust.
Nowe as toutchynge yt we desier one a1 nother to pray for vs, that do wee to put oure neybour in remēbraunce of his dutie and not that we truste in his holynes. Oure truste is in God, in Christe and in the trueth of goddes promyses, we haue also a promise that when .ii. or ▪iii. or moe agre togethere in any thynge accordynge to the wil of God, God heareth vs. Not wythstandynge as God hearethe many: so heareth he few, •nd so heareth he one, if he pray after the wyl of god and desire the honour of God. He that desireth mer cye, the same fealeth hys ow•e mysery, and sinne and morneth in his hert for to be delyuered, that he might honour God and God for hys trueth must heare hym, which saieth by ye mouth of christ Mat. v. Blessed are they that hōger and thurst after rightousnes, for they shalbe fulfyllled. God for hys truethes sake muste put the rightuousnes of Christe in him and2 washe his vnrightuousnes awaye in the bloude of Christ. And be the sinner neuer so weke, neuer so feable and frayle, syne he neuer so oft & so areuousli, yet so long as this lust desire and morninge to be deliuered remaineth in hym, God seeth not hys sinnes, rekeneth them not, for hys truethes sake and loue to Christe. He is not a sinner in the sight of God, ye would ⟨image 44⟩be no sinner. He that would be del•uered hath his hert loose already. His hert sinneth not, but morneth repenteth, and cō senteth vnto the lawe and wyll of God and iustifith God, that is, beareth record that God whiche made the law is rightu ous and iustc. And such an hert trustinge in Christes bloude, is accepted for full rightuous. And hys weaknes, infirmitie and frayltie is pardoned and hys synnes not lokede vpon: vntyll God put more strength in hym and fulfyll his lust.
