If we be any thing forgetful of these things, either we show that we are utterly destitute of faith, or make our selves guilty of most hateful ungratitute. We have before our eyes the most grievous vengeance which in the end thou tookest of those wicked and ungodly persons, who raged so greatly against thy most dearly beloved son, and yet are not moved by their example to amend our naughty facts and wicked life: then the which, look how ⟨image 106⟩much he is now more glorious and excellent then he was at that time, so much the more wrong and reproach is done unto him on our behalf. We therefore humbly require and earnestly entreat thee that thou wouldest vouchsafe to inspire into us a more perfect mind & a better desire which profess his glorious name and most pure religion, by the self same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
