That is, If it be possible, that else the sins of mankind can be taken away: grant that it may be so. Thou heardest Moses crying for the Idolaters: Thou heardest Lot for the Zoarites: Samuel, David, and many other for the Israelites: And, deer Father, I only am thine own Son, as thou hast said, in whom thou art well pleased: ⟨p. 44⟩wilt thou not hear me?
