To which he answered on this wise: My little children, I write this unto you, that you sin not. If any man do sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just, and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also the sins of the whole world. And further, upon occasion of these words: Omnes sancti Dei orate pro nobis, being demaunded what he meant by these words. Omnes sancti, he answered: that he meant them by those that were alive, as S. Paul did by the Corinthians, and not by those that be dead: 1for he prayed not to them (he said) because he thought that they which be dead cannot pray for him. Item, when the whole church is gathered together, they use to pray one for an other, or desire one to pray for an other, with one hart: and that the will of the Lord may be fulfilled and not ours: and I pray, said he, as our Saviour Christ prayed at his last hour. Father, take this cup from me if it be possible, yet thy will be fulfilled.
