The words of Tyndale be these. When we desire one another to pray for us,1 that do we to put our neighbour in remembrance of his duty, and not that we trust in his holiness, our trust is in God, in Christ, and in the trueth of Gods promises. We have also a promise that when two or three or moe agree together in one thing, according to the will of God, God heareth us, notwithstanding as God heareth many, so heareth he few, & so heareth he one, if he pray after the will of God, & desire the honour of God, &c.
