Ant. And truly, Sir, I am now fully convinced, that I have gone out of the right way, in that I have not had regard to the ⟨p. 245⟩Law, and the works thereof as I should. But, God willing, I shall hereafter (if the Lord prolong my days) be more careful how I lead my life, seeing the ten Commandments are the law of Christ. And I beseech you, Sir, remember me in your prayers, and so with many thanks to you for your pains, I take my leave of you, beseeching the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be with your spirit. Amen.
