By our forgiving of other mens 1offences to us ward, is understand thy good will, not only that it pleaseth thee that we should live in lone and amity, but also that thou wouldest have us to be certain of thy pardoning us of our since. For as certain as we are that we pardon them that offend us, so certain should we be that thou doest pardon us: whereof the forgiving our trespassers is (as it were) a sacrament unto us.
