Now though this were spoken unto Peter only, because Peter only moved the question / yet it appertaineth not unto us all as well as unto Peter? Are not we as much bound to forgive our neighbours that repent and axe forgiveness, as Peter▪ Yes verily. But because Peter only axed the question, therefore did Christ teach us by Peter.

Yea and in the .xviij. chapter of Mathew, Chryst saith to al the Apostles / yea / and to all congregatyons where synners be,
