Thomas nor master John Shorne Also in an other place? The Lord is nigh unto them that call upon him, that call upon him truly, and with that he showeth who calleth truly upon him. saying thus: He shall do the will or desire of them that reverenceth him, and shall hear graciously their prayer, and make them safe, for the Lord loveth all that loveth him, and all sinners shall be destroyed.
