Now truth it is: that there is almost innumerable texts in holy scripture, that most plainly do declare: that when so over a true repentant sinner by unfeigned faith returneth unto god, & asketh mercy for christs sake, he shall undoubtedly have it. And albeit the holy scripture is full of such places, yet here by God's grace, I will show and rehearse to you some of them, to give you occasion to mark them and such like places as you shall find almost in every leaf of the Bible.
