Seeing we pray for free forgiveness, we are to hold that there is no satisfaction made by us to Gods justice for sin: for to forgive, and to satisfy, be ⟨image 32⟩contrary: here falleth down the doctrine of satisfaction, taught in the Church of Rome.

Séeing we pray for frée forgiuenesse, wée are to hold that there is no satisfaction made by vs to Gods iustice for sinne: for to forgiue, and to satisfie, be ⟨image 32⟩contrarie: here falleth downe the doctrine of satisfaction, taught in the Church of Rome.

Seeing we sin daily, and therefore pray daily for forgiveness, we note the great patience and long suffering of God, that suffers and forbears still, and doth not pour down his wrath upon us, and it doth teach us to use the like patience towards our brethren that offend us.

Séeing we sinne daily, and therefore pray dayly for forgiuenesse, wée note the great patience and long suffering of God, that suffers and forbeares still, and doth not powre downe his wrath vpon vs, and it doth teach vs to vse the like patience towards our brethren that offend vs.

Again, we may observe, that our sanctification in this life, is never perfect, because we crave pardon every day for sin, it is always in perfecting, but never perfected here.

Againe, wée may obserue, that our sanctification in this life, is neuer perfect, because we craue pardon euery day for sinne, it is alwayes in perfecting, but neuer perfected here.
